Tomato is Good For You

So I decided that I wanted to detox last night. I went to Rustan’s to hang out and check out what’s new with my favorite brands. I got lucky because the Clinique Chubby Stick has just arrived. Will do a review on that soon. Oh, and if you’re a MAC fan, the Peacocky Collection is out now.

Let’s focus on my Tomato haul. I was looking for a nice giveaway for my party on Saturday and I’ve been wracking my brains and annoying my friends since last week to no avail. When I was on my way to MB’s office, I saw the display at the Tomato boutique and found bangles! Yes! Problem solved! I won’t show the pics as some readers will be at the party. I want it to be a surprise of some sort.

Tomato is having a promo and I was Php500 away from it so I bought a few things but went overboard (again, as usual).

I like the camel and gray combination. I got this bag for Php750. I love Tomato bags as they last a very long time. All my Tomato bags (bought in college) are still in good condition. I’ve given most to my cousins and they’re still okay.

I also bought this:

I don’t have a purse in this color and thought it would punch up my wardrobe. It’s a wallet/purse:

This is great for lazy days. I can put my money, cards, lipstick and compact here. It also has a chain for the uber lazy (me).

This purse is only Php450.

And because I reached the Php2,000 minimum promo amount, I got these for FREE:

MB doesn’t like leather watches. He’s more of a sporty watch type but he likes the idea of a couples watch. We’ve been looking for a pair since forever. I don’t think he will wear this though. I asked him if I should just give this away. He said to keep it. Maybe he’ll wear this one of these days.  Maybe.

Today, I need to run a few more errands and maybe do a bit more shopping. hehe..

Hope you all have a great Friday in spite of the terrible traffic!

    Those are great Tomato treats. I never knew their bags are sturdy. Will that refer to leather ones? Might check the store out soon.

    And on the chubby sticks! It's so cute! Onr of my int'l blogger friends is encouraging me to check those lippies out. Your post actually kicked my butt to do so!

    @herroyalbleakness: Yes, they are. Although of course, if you don't use the leather bag for a long time, the leather chips off.

    Yes, check out the Chubby Sticks!

    @Aya & Rhain: You think so? I think the color is really nice!

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 Niño. 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...

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...

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...
