Canus Goat’s Milk Soap

Regular readers know that I am currently obsessed with soaps and shower gels. I am especially fond of milk soaps and other products that contain milk. Sadly, I rarely find one that suits me.

I was lucky to discover this soap while perusing the lines of beauty products in Beauty Bar. There are different variants to choose from. I will not list them all as I already forgot.

This one, the SA said, combats inflammation. I was sold the moment she said that.

A bar costs Php150. It’s not bad in my opinion as it’s big and thick. I can hardly hold it in my hand when it was brand new. The scent is very mild. It has a blend of citrus and ginger notes. Sometimes I smell lemon, sometimes I just smell the ginger. I’m pretty sure there are other things in there as well.

I use this at night so I feel refreshed and relaxed. After a long, tiring day of work, chores and taking care of the baby, my body badly needs some help. I can truly say that this has helped my body with all its aches and pains. It has also helped me sleep. I feel so relaxed after my evening bath. It’s also gentle on my skin. I didn’t experience any rashes or itchiness on my first use. I would love to try the other variants but I am already very satisfied with this so I guess I’ll repurchase the same.

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...

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...
