Quiet Happiness at Kinokuniya

 




Fully Booked x Kinokuniya is my happy place. 
Well, one of my happy places, that is. 

How can it not? Just look at that fun Mario multicolored pen! 
I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat if it was a single color pen. Big pens just don’t suit my fingers. 


And then look at these journal tabs! That is exactly my aesthetic!


And look at the corner bookmark and the pirate page holder. The corner marker reminds me of the book my son’s friends gave him. It had an origami corner bookmark, too. 


Line Markers. These are great! It reminds me of those reading rulers with the window in the middle, except this one tells you the last line you read. Very exact! There’s a bookmark and then there’s a line marker. Cool. 


Oh, these Japanese stickers are sending me… Now I want the cats and the piano stickers… and those onigiri! 


Clips! I have recently developed an obsession with clips. 
Fortunately, these clips are too juvenile for me so I passed. 



Oh, but those food stickers.. I want!



I tried so hard not to buy any stickers because I still have a ton to use! 


I was successful. I didn’t buy any. 


I used to have a lot of fun with these as a kid. 


Because of course, Japanese stationery has highlighters like this. 


I love this Gloo. It’s expensive, but I love it. 


And of course, I had to look at the pouches. 
Japanese stationery pouches are da bomb. 


Just look how much stuff you can put in there! 


This is great for a student. But for me? I require more compartments! 😆



And then I saw the scissors! 



I had a hard time choosing between white and teal. 
The teal came home with me in the end.


And I finally bought this Hello Kitty set of pens that I’ve been circling like a vulture for the past 3 months. 


I wanted these cute sticky notes, too, but yeah, I have a lot and I can actually make these. 
But then again, when? 
I am swamped with current orders and my two editorial platforms (this one and Lady E Eats) need some lovin’. 
Maybe I’ll buy a pack next time. 
Maybe. 


And then look at this thing! 
It’s a Twilight Cookbook! 
Recipes from Forks! 
I didn’t have a lot of time to look around that day, but I will come back for this. 
And I’ll let you know what I find.

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...

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...

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...
