Soft Luxe Staycations: Last Day of Our Staycation at Red Planet Hotel, Sundays Restaurant, and Shopping at Daiso and Watsons

This is Day 3 of our staycation over the weekend at Red Planet Hotel Timog. If you're just tuning in, this is the second time we've stayed there this month. Just a week in between.

Our Sunday started with breakfast at... Sundays! It's starting to become a tradition.

I really wanted to try their chicken and waffles. I'll do a review of this in my food blog, soon. My son ordered this as well. My sister shared another order with mom.

Mom ordered the omelette.

There was another waffle order that's full of fruits, but I wasn't able to take a photo. I was a little worried about Typhoon Fung Wong. It was starting to rain in our area.

Thank God, we were able to get home before the deluge started. We went to S&R to buy some water and food. I then went to Daiso

Daiso

I just had to take a photo of these cute sponges.

After Daiso, my son and I went to the hardware to buy a rechargeable lamp, but they were sold out! They said that a lot of people bought the previous day. We had a few rechargeable lamps at home, but my husband wanted some extras.

I ended up buying just a small rechargeable flashlight and an adapter that I put in my travel bag.

Watsons

I also went to Watsons because I promised my Glow Guide Sarah that I will get the Deoproce body serum that she showed me earlier in the week.

Here's eveything I got from Daiso, the hardware, and Watsons that day:

When we got home, we rested for a while. For lunch, I reheated the pizza I ordered for takeaway from Sundays. It was really good. But again, forgot to take a photo of! I was exhausted from our travels and anxious about the typhoon. Glow Guide Sarah showed me videos and photos of their house in Bicol. The roof was already peeling and the waves from the nearby sea were over the barrier already. It was really pounding the pavement hard! My grandmother is from Bicol and I have some family there. Plus Sarah's province and mine were neighbors. I really felt for her and her family. I hope they can fix their house soon.

We didn't experience a lot of rain and flooding in my place, thank the Lord!

And that wraps up this staycation.

I'll be reviewing these products soon, stay tuned for that!

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...

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...
