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.

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...
