A While Back - How I Celebrated My Birthday: Flying Tiger Part 2 and Some Easter Basket Finds

 

Cute mechanical fan, but not practical

This is part 2 of my Flying Tiger birthday day out. 

There are a few Flying Tiger items that I’ve been admiring again and again like that pen holder from my previous post. This set of highlighters is one of them. I don’t buy them because I still have a ton of highlighters that I have to use up.  (I give myself a pat on the back every time I exercise self-control when shopping. ☺️ )




I was thinking that maybe this small blackboard could be a good addition to my booth for PBF (Philippine Book Festival), but I passed. Now that I look at it, I have some ideas for it for the next time I join a festival. Definitely grabbing this when I see it again. 


Lots of these arts and crafts kits for Easter baskets! I used to do a lot of those but my godkids are a lot older now. Not sure if they will still appreciate it. I did make one for one of my goddaughter and will be sending it to her tomorrow. I’ll post about it either here or on my other blog. 


I have been going back and forth on these balloon puppy pens, too! But I’m more of a cat person and my babies in heaven might haunt my dreams. 😆


I’m always impressed with these wooden toys from Flying Tiger. They are a bit on the expensive side though. Well, some of them. Sometimes the price is right. 


I love dominoes! Not just for playing, but I used them a lot in our homeschool. These are great Easter basket stuffers, too, by the way. 


I love this hexagonal canvases. I’ve only realized now that I look at it that it’s a 3-pack! I’m getting one if I see these again. I have a great idea for a future festival booth!


These trophies cracked me up. These are great for when you have friends over for dinner and you play some games. You can award the winners with these. 




These are for nail care but that one is quite scary-looking. At first glance, I thought it was a cutter. You know that hardware tool? 😆 I have one of those for when I make bead jewelry. 


Spring mugs abound! I like that snail one. But again, self-control when it comes to mugs. Pat on the back. 


Avocado merch. I don’t know about you Glow Girls, in your part of the world. First we had an avo craze and then a capybara. I don’t get it. Am I missing something? 😆


Now these two are perfect for any teenage girls in your life. I actually had one of those braiding tools below when I was a kid and they really worked! 



These sunglasses were also new to my branch. Oh, look at those lavender heart sunglasses up top!




Magnetic bookmarks are also great to add to your Easter Basket. You can use them for books, notes, journaling, etc. 


These nail stickers + the hair tools above? Chef’s kiss for your teenage girl’s Easter basket. 


This is also a nice activity to add to your teenage girl’s Easter basket. Crocheting can be therapeutic, relaxing, or can even be a source of income. I crochet, too, but I stopped because I was getting allergic to the yarn. I have to find a good hypoallergenic yarn. 


I wanted these fruit lamps for my PBF booth, but you really need to stick them to a wall. I got one that’s freestanding though. 


Cute trash bins that can double as a gift container. Just stuff all your gifts in this! 


These are also cute blind boxes. I got one for my booth. I got a ladybug which I put on display. 

After my Flying Tiger shopping spree, we went to Ayala Park Triangle Mall for a KKV expedition! That’s next. Stay tuned Glow Girls! I hope you’re enjoying my birthday series so far because I am having fun reliving them.

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...

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...
