Sacred Allure: An Aromatherapy Ritual for Feminine Glow

  


This week’s glow-up moment is brought to you by something small — but mighty. I made this custom essential oil inhaler using some of my favorite oils: ylang ylang, sweet orange, peppermint, and frankincense — and honestly? It’s giving calm, centered, and ready to slay the week vibes. I call it Sacred Allure.


🌼 Ylang ylang helps balance hormones and soothe emotional tension. It's also a well-known aphrodisiac since ancient times. It promotes optimism and relaxation. It relieves and rejuvenates while fighting daily oxidative stress. 

🍊 Sweet orange uplifts the mood and brings back a sunny mindset.

🌿 Peppermint clears mental fog (perfect when your to-do list is wild). It relieves headaches, boosts energy. It helps with anxiety, too. 

🕊️ Frankincense centers the soul. Always. It also boosts the immune system, improves skin condition, and ease respiratory issues. 


My blend:


5 drops Ylang Ylang (hormone balance, emotional support)


4 drops Peppermint (mental clarity, fresh burst)


3 drops Sweet Orange (mood boost, gentle energy)


1 drop Frankincense (grounding, peaceful vibes)



I added the drops in the wick, popped it in the inhaler, and took 3 deep breaths. This little powerhouse now lives on my desk. I put it where I can easily see it and get it. Whether you're ovulating, navigating perimenopause like me, or just trying to stay present on a busy day, this blend is a game-changer.


Best part? No one knows you’re inhaling confidence and peace during that Monday meeting. 😉


🔍 Important Safety Tips from a Certified Aromatherapist (Lady E!):


Do a patch test first, always. Essential oils are powerful. Never apply directly on the skin without diluting in a carrier oil (like coconut, almond oil, sesame oil,  or jojoba).


Not all oils are safe for kids or pets! Avoid oils like eucalyptus, frankincense,  peppermint, and rosemary around small children.


Essential oils can burn you. Yes, really! Just because they’re natural doesn’t mean they’re harmless.


A little goes a long way. Just 2–3 drops in your inhaler stick is enough. Inhale gently 2–3 times per day. Overexposure can lead to nausea, dizziness, or even headaches.


Storage matters. Keep your oils in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and heat to preserve their potency.

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
