My Daiso Shangri-La Haul

Have you been to the Daiso branch in Shangri-La? They opened last Friday. The store is not so big but boy does it pack a punch. I found items that are not available in my home branch which is Glorietta. Check out my haul!

I love this acrylic stand. You can put books or iPads. My son likes to use the iPad when he's in bed. I normally put the iPad on top of pillows but they tend to slide down. This is the perfect solution. It's also very useful come homeschool time.

This is an infinity scarf. I was supposed to have a giveaway here in my blog but I've read some disturbing news about bloggers and giving stuff away in their blogs. Some legal issues arise. I have to do more research before I move on with my giveaway. If you have any information about it, please leave a comment below. This scarf was supposed to be one of the prizes.

This set is for my son.

This is a microfiber towel which I got as a freebie.

Yes, I couldn't resist these stacking cups which are very similar to our IKEA ones.

Finally! Someone thought of making these staplers! This will be very useful for our crafts and for shipping stuff.

I got two of these binder pouches because one was supposed to be included in my giveaway. These are great. They are no longer available in my home branch. These are bigger than the one I have.

I got a pack of these baggies as we travel a lot. These are very useful.

This is another freebie. I love these mesh bags. I have a smaller one which I bring on staycations.

This is a desk organizer. Pink and green = love.

How cute is this watch? This is great to give away as gifts. There are no brands. the straps and face are clean. They come in a wide variety of colors and designs.

This is for my son's study table. We get messy during art time and this is great for cleaning up. He has also started helping me with the chores. This is perfect for his little hands.

I got another one of these rolling pins as I gave mine to my son to use for Play-Doh play. I use this to flatten bread.

I got a set of these sauce bottles for my husband's lunch box. Yes, I know they're too quirky for a guy but I think he will find them funny. He has a great sense of humor.

So, that's my haul. What are your Daiso Shangri-La finds? Share!

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...
