Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. But it's only for the past few years that people have been really aware of what's going on. I'm really glad that we are making steps to help fight climate change. Even the local businesses are doing their share. SM is one of them. The management is doing company wide projects that aim to save the environment. We are all familiar with their green bags. SM has more in store. They're also supporting Al Gore's visit to Manila. If you haven't watched The Inconvenient Truth yet, watch it. It will open your eyes. 

Starbucks is also having a promo. You can get some of their tumblers for only P195. The promo is until April 30 only so hurry! MB bought one tumbler this morning and there was only one tumbler left in the Earth Day tumblers section. You also get P5 off on your drink when you decide to use your tumbler instead of their plastic cups.

Lush is giving away selected bubble bars or ballistics for every P1,000 pre-packed gift set purchase. We all know how much effort Lush is giving to help save the environment. See here for details.

Personally, what do I do? Aside from eco bags, (which by the way, my new favorite is National Bookstore's eco bag) we also recycle in our house. I have one garbage bin for cans, another one for plastic stuff and I dump fruit and vegetable peels, etc. to our pots. I now have a thriving ampalaya (bitter gourd) plant because of this. There's also another plant which I have yet to identify but it's growing really big. Because of this, we only average about 2 medium bags of garbage everyday. More often than not, it's only one. We also avoid buying bottled water. If you follow my food blog, you'd know that I hate wasting food. So whatever leftover food that we have when we eat out, I always take away. 

There are so many fun things that you can do for Earth not only today, but everyday for the rest of your lives. It's not just a hype. It's something real. And you should be a part of that. 

What do you do to help save the environment?

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
