A Sack Arrives on Black Saturday and Organizing My Washi Tapes and Ephemera on a Monday

Hi, everyone! I hope you had a restful Holy Week and was able to reflect and think about things in your life that you have questions of, just like me.

I didn’t post so much during Holy Week to respect the season. Yesterday, we went to the mall to buy groceries and to shop at Flying Tiger.

Last Saturday, a package arrived for me. My husband received it and called me, asking what I ordered that was in a sack!

I went down to check and it was a literal sack! The kind they use for rice! 🤣

I opened it and found:

I got all the things inside and went up and put everything on the floor.

Wanna know what’s inside the packages? Of course you do! 😁 Here they are:

Today, Monday, I decided to organize my Washi tapes. This is my season for creating. Being ADHD and a polymath, I flow through different creative seasons. I immerse myself fully in each one until it fills me, then I move on to the next.

I need my things organized, so when the inspiration hits, I just flow.

These are my big Washi tapes. I’ll show you the small ones in a future post.

I also have these from KKV from my birthday shopping. I thought I’d put them in the other box, too.

And now, here are my finished, organized cases filled with my beautiful Washi tapes and ephemera.

Lately, I’ve been in my home manager season, too (Hello, Lady E Home Edits)—filling my space with beautiful, thoughtful finds from Flying Tiger. There was one collection I thought I had completely missed… but somehow, it magically found its way into my home.

And now, I’m off to creating some exciting kits for kids this summer! Stay tuned for that!

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

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...
