Because One Can Never Have Enough Black Bags…

I’m obsessed with building my bag collection because a few months ago I decided to sell/giveaway almost all my bags. Now, I’m starting anew with black bags. I also think I’m getting obsessed with black bags.

I went inside Kashieca Greenbelt one Sunday afternoon and saw this bag. I wanted to buy it but I was having doubts. You know me, I can be pretty cheap at times. The bag costs Php998. Then the SA said that it’s the last one and that they only have one per color delivered to each branch. I don’t know if that’s true or not but that was the push I needed. I immediately bought the bag and used my Bench Loyalty points so I got a Php200 discount = Php798. Yay!

This bag fits everything! It fits Coco too and all her accessories. There are also several compartments inside so I don’t lose things. I tried using my Beabi bag organizer but I just suck at it. I feel it makes my bag heavier. Whatever, my bag is always heavy anyway.

I got this other bag from SM:

I wanted a weekend bag that’s small and light but not too casual looking. I wanted something that I can take with me to work, etc. This is perfect. Cheap too at Php500. It fits my wallet, my card holder, facial tissues, makeup kit, etc. And it’s quite sturdy.

I’m eyeing a few Coach bags next but there are just too many things on my shopping list that I don’t know which ones to buy first! Plus, MB’s birthday is coming up and I’m planning to give him something special. Decisions, decisions…

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...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El NiƱo. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
