After blogging for more than 3 years now, I will have my first blog giveaway. I was feeling good last week as I keep on seeing lots and lots of new readers and likes every single day (not to mention that I just got my diver’s license and I had a blast on my last night in El Nido). Anyway, this is just my way of thanking my dear readers for the love and support I get every day.
Last weekend, I went to Liwliwa, San Felipe, Zambales to try my new Lagu Beach Towel. What I like about it (yes, I love the color) is that it really lives up to what it says- a towel that is nature-friendly as sands don’t stick on it. No need to shake it off (pagpag) after using. Also, you don’t need to scratch off the sand on your skin when you use it properly (but of course what’s the use of going to the beach without getting sand on your skin). But my fave among all is the sewn-in strap which saves a lot on packaging. No need to use plastics to place it back into your backpack as its easy to dry. I guess I told a lot about the product already. This time I want you to try the product yourself.
YEHEY! *clap* *clap* *clap*
