I Miss You, Glow Girls! (And the Filipiniana Accessories I’m Wearing to the Philippine Book Festival 2026)

Glow Girls!!!! I miss you so much. This is the final stretch. The Philippine Book Festival is happening on Thursday, March 12 up to Sunday, March 15. If you're in the Ph, please drop by and check out Filipino literature. A lot of the books are in English. 

And be sure to say hi to me even if you don't have any kids to buy books for! 😊 I'm always happy to know my Glow Girls. I'll be at The Collective, booth C020, Learn with Teacher E.

After PBF, I'll just get some much needed R&R and then I'll go back to blogging. I promise. 

My dopamine carafe is pretty empty today. And with ADHD, that means no motivation. It's not procrastination. It's how my brain is wired. I've been struggling to do big tasks since after brunch. 

And then, I thought, I miss my girls so much! So, here I am, giving you a quick update and showing you the accessories I'll wear for PBF and filling up my tank at the same time. 😊

First up, this choker. Well, almost choker. Forest green is my favorite color and this is perfect. This will be for my Day 3 outfit. 

Oh, but first. We are required to wear Filipiniana on Day 1. For the next 3 days, I opted for Filipiniana accents, so I went with accessories. That's why I bought these accessories. 

Next is this bangle that I will use on the last day. I will be facilitating a workshop (more on that soon) and I don't want to fuss too much because I will be moving around a lot. 

Isn't it pretty?

I have a thing for big showpiece jewelry. If you've been with me since my jewelry-making days, you'd know what I'm talking about. 😊 I guess that's how I express myself as an artist. 

This necklace is for Day 1. I will not show you what the complete outfit is yet. I'll be sure to post that after the event. Day 1 outfit is what I'm proud of the most! 

And this long necklace with real pearls is for Day 2. 

All these pieces are made with semi-precious beads and materials that are found in my country. 

Shout out to my Glow Guides, Jackie and Elisa at SM Makati Kultura for helping me with my accessories and Day 1 outfit! You'll meet them soon as I'm definitely going back.
