Mini Haul

It’s been a while since I went shopping. Well, it’s been a while since I got out of the house. I’m still on house arrest but I managed to do a bit of shopping after I went to the doctor. These are just essentials:

My doctor noticed my uber dry skin so she told me to use Dove beauty bar. I actually don’t like this because it does not bubble up. I like my soaps to lather up nicely but I need it and the doctor prescribed it so yeah, I’m using it. My makeup sponges from Beauty Bar are still out of stock so I made a quick stop to Japan Home Center and bought a bag of sponges.

There are different sponges in the bag and I can say that I’m impressed with the quality.

At first I was hesitant to buy this as I only needed the wedge sponge to apply my foundation. I just said to myself that I’ll just make it work. Turns out, I can use a lot of these sponges:

This round sponge fits my Paul & Joe compact perfectly.

This sponge is too big for my Clinique compact but I can always cut it to fit.

Aside from these, I also got 2 pairs of earrings from Hyphen:

I saw Hayden Panattiere wearing a similar pair:

Hers just didn’t have the stone in the middle.

I miss Sunday Shopping but we also had a lot of unexpected expenses this month so I guess it’s okay. I sure hope I’ll get better fast so that I can do a bit of shopping.

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...
