Life Updates and Exciting Projects

Hello, Glow Girls! I was absent for 2 days because life has been catching up from the holidays and I'm busy creating new products.

Life Updates

I've been doing a lot of online shopping for my crafts studio. I bought some tools as some regular clients are asking about new custom made stuff.

One day last week, a very dear friend of mine scolded me for not giving my wrists proper support. I'm basically typing the whole day. The lack of support has been causing some costochondritis pains and scapula pains. So, I bought a wrist rest. Unfortunately, it won't fit on my table so I had to rearrange my desk and that led to rearranging under the desk and behind the desk, too!

After that, I got bit by the organization bug, so yesterday ended up as a Lady E Edit day! I switched our art cart with the book shelf in my workspace, so I can put all my machines in the cart. I did a lot of heavy lifting, purging, organizing, but there's still a mountain of stuff in the hallway. I am happy though that I was able to set aside a lot of things for donation to one of my ministries, Tala, where they have a feeding and literacy program for the SPED kids of people who collect recyclables to sell them. I've been supporting this ministry for years.

Coquette Beginnings

Here are the notepads that are part of my January line - Coquette Beginnings.

I already have stickers and notebooks for this line, but I'm expanding it. I will have more products in the following days and I'll be sure to share them with you.

Glow Girl Wealth Tracker

Now this one is what I'm most excited about. I'll tell you more about it soon, but there will be 3 variants/themes to choose from.

This one is for the theme, "For the Queen Who Celebrates Her Wealth." This is basically a me theme. Well, for one, I was named after one of the greatest queens in history. Second, green is my favorite color.

The pouch on the cover photo above is part of this collection. I was testing out sublimation settings and I'm glad I got it right on my second try. I didn't want to waste pouches as I ordered these from the US!

I will be making more products for my January collection for the rest of the week, so if I'm not around, know that I'm creating magic for all of us. Please amuse yourselves with the archive and my food blog.

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...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
