Glow by Lady E

On September 23, 2025, Glow reached one million views. I remember looking at that number and wondering what could possibly come after a million. Less than a year later, I have my answer. 759,511 more visits. Not another beginning. Not an ending either. Still becoming. Glow has reached 1,759,511 all-time views. Our last milestone was 1.5 million . Since then, another 259,511 views have quietly found their way here. That number still feels a little unreal to me. Not because I think of Glow as small anymore, but because I still remember what it feels like to sit down and write one piece at a time. One thought. One photograph. One painting. One ordinary afternoon turned into something worth keeping. And then, somewhere beyond my screen, someone reads it. Then someone else does. And somehow, over time, those tiny moments become 1,759,511 . The painting behind this milestone is called Still Becoming . I painted it long before deciding it would become part of Glow’s milestone s...

August ended with 106,299 views on Glow. Six figures. There is something a little surreal about typing that number, especially when I think about what a view actually represents. Somewhere, someone opened a page. Maybe she came looking for an answer. Maybe a photograph caught her eye. Maybe she was curious about something I bought, wore, tried, made, or thought about. Maybe she read one piece and wandered into another. And somehow, all those small moments added up to 106,299 . What makes August even more special to me is seeing just how far Glow traveled. To everyone reading from the United States, Norway, Seychelles, Brazil, Germany, Singapore, India, Vietnam, France, and Pakistan , thank you. These were Glow’s ten biggest countries for the month, and seeing places thousands of kilometers apart gathered together on one little analytics page never stops feeling remarkable. And to everyone reading from everywhere else, including my quiet readers here in the Philippines, thank yo...

  Quick Update Hello, Glow Girls! I’ve missed you! A lot has been going on in my life lately. I have another big order, so I’ve been working in the atelier. Then Lady Flo visited, and you know how I take care of myself when she’s around. Just type Flo on my search bar and you’ll find several articles on my slow soft luxe lifestyle when she’s around.  I was also tasked to be in-charge of an ebook that’s gonna take about 18 months to develop. But for now, my priority is getting that huge order out by Sunday.  Anyway, let’s continue this series.  After Power Plant, we went to Venice! In Taguig that is. 😆 And what do you know? The first store that greeted us was… Flying Tiger!! But the front display shelves were empty! 🤣 Hey, why didn’t I pay attention to that straw tote?? I wanted to buy those small pumpkins, but no space to display them  The autumn collection is really nice! Also wanted to buy these houses, but again, no space!  The lamps were $8 while the ...

Hey, Glow Girls! I was busy at the atelier yesterday, so part 2 was a little delayed.  Let’s get the show started then.  Our next stop was another favorite - Art Bar! (I wish we had more Art Bars near my place.) This set costs about $180.  I have been manifesting this Caran d’Ache Neocolor II.  I was so surprised to find them here!  From what I remember, they weren’t there the last time I went to Art Bar.  There was a whole display dedicated to them!  This set costs $80 They also had the Neocolor 1 but since I’m a watercolorist, I chose Neocolor II Oh, these pastel colours are so lovely! But I don’t do a lot of acrylic painting. My son is the acrylic painter.  Mont Marte acrylics are pretty good though, if you’re trying out acrylic for the first time. I highly recommend them.  I will probably get these next time. I may not paint with acrylics, but I’m slowly getting obsessed with acrylic markers.  Oh, how I wanted these glitter pens, but...
