From the Editor’s Desk: A New Era for Glow by Lady E

 


Dear Glow Girls, 


The past few days have been different.
You felt it.
The shift. The pattern. The way everything started to connect.


None of this was accidental.
Every post, every piece, every image…
was placed exactly where it needed to be.


I didn’t arrive here overnight.
This shift has been building for a long time.

I’ve been dreaming about this for years. 

I’ve been planning this for a long time, but it didn't move…

Until it did.  

And when it finally came… I knew I couldn’t write the same way anymore.


You felt the shift in my writing. 

I’ve been here since 2007. 

After a 10-year hiatus to raise my son, I came back. 

I saw that some of you were still here. 

And that ignited a spark. 

I didn’t know if you would still listen to me. But I wrote again. 

One post. Then another. And another. 

And you did. You still are. 


And in September 2025, almost 500,000 of you were here. 

In less than a year, over a million readers came to this space to 

laugh with me, 

shop with me, 

apply makeup with me, 

dine with me, 

live with me. 





Glow is no longer just a blog.
It’s an editorial space.
A collection of stories, pieces, and moments that speak to each other.
A magazine. A diary. An atelier.


If you’ve been reading, you’re already part of this.
You’ve been seeing it unfold in real time.


This is where it begins.
Issue 01: Background Noise.


There are more things coming, 

beautiful things.


And this time…

I’m not just writing. 

I’m building something that stays. 


The post that started it all

Read the whole issue starting with this post. 


’Til the next piece,


Stay soft. Stay sharp. Stay glowing.


With elegance and quiet fire,
Lady E

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...
