Rewards come to those who are patient and observant. Postholiday sales abound. This time can be used to shop for stuff to prepare for the new year.

Make your list. Write down all the stuff you would need in 2020, big or small. This way, you can match your shopping with your 2020 resolutions.

Also check your rewards points and membership discounts. With the shopping you have done for the holidays, I’m sure you have racked up points enough to get some smart deals.

I would first check the beauty counters and websites. Price drops are always a good time to stock up on your essentials. This way you don’t have to keep worrying about them throughout the year.

Sephora.ph is offering a lot of bath and body items at discounted prices. To boost your routine, get something like the Sephora Exfoliating Granita on top of your regular body wash. Likewise, get a reliable shampoo and conditioner from IGK. These will make sure you start off 2020 fresh and confident.

Makeup favorites

Watch out for your makeup favorites at Rustan’s. Pick items that will carry you through the various trends of the upcoming year.

Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation is a much-loved foundation for radiant and dewy skin. You get good coverage that’s always a good base for any makeup.

Look into end-of-season sales. January is always a good time to catch the last of your clothing picks. Distinqt is a good spot for some designer finds from N21, Tibi, Cult Gaia, Sequoia, MM6 and many more.

I also log on to My Theresa during these days. Last time I checked, I saw a pair of Off-White Arrow 2.0 Leather Sneakers at 30-percent off.

You can also get something like the Stella McCartney Logo Canvas Backpack to add to your everyday bag rotation. Picks like these are easy to integrate into your wardrobe. You’ll be able to use them for different occasions throughout the year.

There is Univers and Homme et Femme, as well. You can get Alexander Wang, Marni, and Victoria Beckham, all of which are brands that are made for the on-the-go lifestyle.

On the home front, visit the SM Home section. Get organizers for your stuff for a clean start on the new year. Don’t forget to get linens, curtains and pillows—all these make for small luxuries that make a big difference.

Likewise, visit SM’s appliance section. A Hurom Slow Juicer can help you be healthier this 2020.
