23,275 Views in One Day – Thank You, Glow Ladies

Yesterday, something incredible happened. Glow by Lady E reached 23,275 views in a single day—my highest daily traffic yet. You did it again, Glow Ladies! It's amazing how you keep showing up to keep me company here in my little side of the world. I promise to keep showing up for you, too - whether for coffee or tea (although, I'll drink iced tea as I am sensitive to warm drinks 😊), folding laundry, bringing the kids to soccer practice, shopping till you drop, or for a friend at 3 am, in the cold, I'm there for you.

I never imagined that so many people will resonate with my soft luxe life that I'm living right now. I was exhausted, very sick, frail, feeling ugly, burned out for years and one day, I said to myself, this is enough. No more. I remember, I was looking for something in my blog, this blog (I have 3, in case you didn't know), when I came across the views. 5k views in a single day. I couldn't believe it! I haven't blogged in 10 years! And so, I tested the waters and wrote one post. This post, to see if my people were still around. And the answer was a loud Yes! So I posted a few more over the following days and suddenly I'm seeing ladies from different corners of the world, not just my regulars, gathering in one space - my space.

So here we are today, over 64k views last August, and now over 23k views in just one day. I am proud of this achievement, but also humbled that you allow me to give you inspiration, ideas, and motivation to feel beautiful, happy, and live your best soft luxe life yet.

✨ Here’s to more stories that inspire, more beauty that uplifts, and more moments that remind us of the glow in everyday life.

💌 Thank you, Glow Ladies. You are the heart of this journey.

With love,

Lady E 💖

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...
