The April “IT” Bag

this month's it bag, bitsandtreats

I think I got this bag a month or so ago at SM. It costs only around Php400. I love the cheap bags at SM. They’re great for running errands. I don’t know about you but I choose my bags depending on where I’m going. If it’s just a simple grocery day or shopping for supplies day, I use cheap bags. If it’s a date with my husband, going to church or going out with my family then I use my nice bags and purses.

I’ve been going in and out of the hospital this month and this bag has been a blessing. It can fit all my usual stuff – makeup kit, money, pouches, etc. plus my hospital papers, shawl and even my water bottle. Everything that I need is inside this bag. Another good thing is the bag is light in spite of its size. Some of my bags already have some weight even if they are empty.

I really don’t mind if the color goes with my outfit or not as I’m not the one carrying this bag around. I can’t lift/carry heavy stuff around so it’s either my mom or my husband who carries this when we go to the hospital. The only time I get to hold this is when I’m sitting on a wheelchair, waiting for either of them to bring me to the car or bring me to my doctor’s office. This is a really good buy and it comes in different colors. I’m sure you’ll find one that you like. Oh, it also comes with a pouch which I don’t really use as I have a ton of pouches.

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 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...
