I read the Dior email too late and missed out on the Lucky Clover collection. It was sold out by the time I texted EJ, my Dior Ambassador. He said there were only a few pieces that arrived and it sold out fast. I was busy in the atelier. I used to think missing out meant I had to find the next-best thing. But I didn’t want the next-best thing. I wanted the pretty little clover lipstick case. The lipstick was available but the case was sold out, so I left without buying anything. Maybe healing also looks like this sometimes. Not scrambling. Not compensating. Not buying something I didn’t really want just because the thing I wanted was gone. Sometimes I can simply say, I missed it. And let that be okay. Something better will come soon. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E An editorial space for stories, art, and intentional living
This part of Venice always has the most people. People like taking their photos on this bridge. We stayed at Venice for a long time because there were a few shops I wanted to visit and they were located far from each other. But I got to experience it at twilight and eventually when the sun has decided to rest from our part of the globe. I love pretty lights that’s why Christmas is my favorite holiday. All those lights adorning the streets and malls are so beautiful at night. I passed by this sleeping cat on my way to another store. I left the boys at the food hall so that I can do my shopping fast. The cat was in front of Texas Road House. Seeing the collar on the cat, the mall must also have a policy on cats like Ayala Malls. Ayala Malls protect the stray cats in their area. They are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and well-fed. My next stop was Miniso. I hardly go to Miniso ever since their branch near me closed. I was happy to find it here...
