A While Back - How I Celebrated My Birthday: KKV Ayala Park Triangle Mall Food and Homeware

Of course, my birthday won’t be complete without a trip to one of my favorite stores, KKV!

I’m going to break this down into 3 posts, alright? I took so many photos and I don’t want the browser choking.

Let’s talk homeware and food in this post.

I had to photograph these cups. They remind me so much of Cath Kidston merch! Team Black or Team White? I’m leaning towards black.

These Snoopy glasses are so adorable! I had to stop myself from getting some! But I think I’ll eventually will. These are great for a Peanuts themed party, though!

There weren’t a lot of new homeware at KKV. I already showed you the ones that caught my eye in my old KKV posts.

Food

Now these cup noodles are interesting. I wonder if they’re any good. I’m partial to Nissin instant noodles and Shin Ramyun Shrimp.

Has anyone tasted these? Please let me know in the comments if they’re spicy, sour, basically how they taste like.

Lots of Snoopy cookies! I got that one with Snoopy’s house. Will let you know how it tastes like in my food blog. Stay tuned for that.

Oh, how I’d love to try these teas, but I’m very sensitive to teas. These are great for Mother’s Day gifts though.

Now these sugar cubes below got me interested. Unfortunately, I can’t try any of them as I’m very sensitive to herbal blends.

That black sugar is good for hormonal health. You can take it before and after periods.

These are fruit jellies. And not just cheap jellies. These are high quality. The numbers on the packaging say how much fruit juice is infused. Now I’m kicking myself for not buying any!

I’m getting some next time! And then I’ll write about it in my food blog.

That ends my food finds at KKV. Stay tuned for the next part where I show you my beauty finds.

How’s your Monday, Glow Girl?

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...

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...

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...
