You know what? I have always wanted daughters. They are
precious and they make you shine and glow like you are in love with life
forever. Such are my cute little daughters, Renee and Alisah. They are not my
replicas but little individuals who make me a complete woman that I have always
wanted to be since childhood. You know, there's a certain charm when you live
your life with your daughters. It brings back your memories of being a
daughter, little girls who love to dress up, put on a little make up and walk
around the house as the family's little princesses.
The same feeling came back when I see Renee and Alisah. My
princesses! And when they are a beauty queen's daughters, it is quite evident
that they will be looking their best and get dressed up in the prettiest
attires and accessories. And, it is not the former beauty queen who's saying
it, but their mom, I just shopping for them! No matter what!

Renee is a grown-up girl now. She knows what looks good on
her and what should she wear at different occasions. And the doting elder
sister that she is, she sometimes takes me by awe when she suggests what Alisah
will wear to look prettier than her. On one of the many occasions that we were
having one afternoon before a social gathering which we all were invited to
attend, Renee suggested that we shop online to save time and energy. I wasn't
that comfortable with the idea because I am not sure about the sizes of the
products, the fitting and most importantly, quality of the products. How do I
know if they were genuine products from the brands that we choose from? What if
the products are not of the best quality? Nothing matters than the safety. I
was apprehensive but Renee wasn't. Her confidence and the twinkle in her eyes
made me listen and give it a go. And there she ran to get her iPad and give me
a feel of online shopping. What followed next was completely unexpected!
Renee logged in to Baggout.com which is a product
aggregation and cashback website developed for the crazy online shoppers (read,
Renee!). With over 500 online retailers like Myntra, Jovi, Flipkart and many
more, this turned out to be a one-stop shopping destination which had so many
products from different brands. I was awestruck to see all kinds of products
that we needed simply listed out and giving us the opportunity to buy from
wherever we felt was good. Some great products and accessories to buy now and
save for later buy. Well, Renee had already made a list of her own and I just
had to give a assertive nod. With each product, the description was available
along with necessary details. We could do a filtering search and find the
clothes, shoes, and accessories that we wanted for all three of us. All we
needed to do then was to click on buy and fill in our details. These retailers
made sure that there's a return policy if the products are not good and fitting
properly. To top this experience, a cashback coupon was issued in our names and
we got the same refunded in the next 48 hours. I must say, quite impressive!

Renee isn't a beautiful daughter only; her intellect and
inner beauty is what makes her a wonderful human being. She introduced me to
this impressive website and I am now completely glued to it. Yes, I also have a
list of my own now.
Shopping relaxes you and when you can do it so conveniently,
it is all the more good. I bet all the new age mothers and women are loving it
and it's time, that I introduce my mom to Baggout.com now.
Do share your experiences of shopping through Baggout.com!
