Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

What do I want to flirt with this season?

Not necessarily who.

What.

Maybe you want to flirt with a new version of yourself.

A hobby you’ve been curious about.

A color you’ve always thought wasn’t “you.”

A different way of dressing.

A city you’ve never explored.

An idea that seems slightly ridiculous.

A dream you aren’t ready to commit to yet.

That’s the lovely thing about flirting.

It doesn’t ask you to make promises.

It doesn’t require a five-year plan or a carefully constructed list of goals. You don’t even have to know whether you want something permanently.

You can simply move a little closer and see what happens.

What catches your eye lately?

What keeps appearing in the corner of your thoughts?

What makes you think, Hmm. Maybe.

Perhaps this season doesn’t need another commitment.

Perhaps it needs curiosity.

A little experimentation.

Permission to try something simply because it delights you.

So tonight, open your journal and ask yourself:

What do I want to flirt with this season?

Don’t immediately turn your answer into a goal.

Don’t make a plan for it yet.

Just write.

Play with the possibility.

See where your thoughts take you.

I’ll be answering it in my journal, too.

Some things I”m flirting with…

I might keep.

Some, I”ll let go.

But for now, I”m letting myself enjoy the feeling.

My answer will stay between me and these pages.

And yours can stay between you and yours. 💗

But for a little while tonight, wherever we happen to be in the world, we’ll be journaling together.

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...
