Soft Life Saturdays: Beauty, Shopping, Curated Purchases, and Holding It Together Part 2

This is part 2. If you'd like to read part 1 first, head on over here

I forgot to say in part 1 that I went to Charles and Keith to buy a pair of shoes. After lunch, we went to H&M to look for clothes for my son but didn't find any in his size. On the way back to Greenbelt, we stopped by Ayala Museum's free section. They were having an exhibit about water. I told my son that we should go because we once discussed this in our homeschool. 

Ayala Museum




I love this painting





This part, where women and girls carry the burden of water collection in some countries, really struck my online students when we discussed this in Ancient Civilizations. This stayed with them. By the way, if you didn't know, I used to teach the students in my homeschool group online. 😊





If you're homeschooling, drop by Ayala Museum to check out this exhibit. The entrance is on the bridgeway to Greenbelt. They regularly have free exhibits in that part of the museum. 

Circuit Mall: Uniqlo and Skechers


We went to Circuit Mall after Greenbelt. Tried H&M there to find clothes for my son but still no luck. We found some at Uniqlo though. I always bring tote bags because Uniqlo and H&M here charge you for carriers. So, I bring my own. I love this super roomy, oversized tote from Mango. It folds up small, too! 



Here's a quick check on the Queen Bee palette that I talked about in Part 1. Time check: around 6 pm. It still looked the same as when I applied it before leaving!

So, do I recommend this palette? YES! It's pigmented, long lasting, and affordable! Plus, BYS products are mostly hypoallergenic and vegan. They also take their packaging seriously, opting for recyclable or recycled materials.



We also went to Skechers as my son needs new shoes...again! When he was young, around toddler to 3rd grade, he loved Superga. But when he got older, he switched to Skechers. 

Here's what we got from Uniqlo and Skechers.


We got these GWP from Skechers. While the boys were there, I went to NoBrand to buy some food. I don't have photos now but I'll feature them from time to time. 



Stay tuned for Part 3 where I will share with you my huge Mumuso Haul! So excited about that!

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light. 

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

When You Need a Tiny Reset (Glow Cards Are Here)

The shade is actually a dusty mauve or muted orchid. It looks blue on the image, but it's not blue.  There are days when I don’t need a full day off — I just need a moment. A tiny reset. A quiet pause in the swirl of noise. That’s how Glow Cards were born.
