Sunday, Somewhere Lovely Part 3: Mitsukoshi

 


Thank you to this week’s top 5 countries - USA 🇺🇸, Norway 🇳🇴, Brazil 🇧🇷, and India 🇮🇳. And Bienvenue mes Seychelles Glow Girls for debuting at #2!

My Seychelles 🇸🇨 Glow Girls, your continuous support in the last few days earned you the #19 spot in the All-Time Leaderboard. Thank you!

I’d also like to welcome India 🇮🇳 into the Top 5 this week! Thank you for allowing me to keep you company throughout your day! 


Now, let’s continue with my lovely Sun-date. 

Our first stop after lunch was Nitori. I wanted to buy a cooker. 



But of course, I cannot enter Nitori and leave with just a cooker. 😏


Especially when they have a cat collection of dinnerware! 


I should’ve bought these. 




This is what I got after just 2 aisles. 😁


I needed a lamp. At first I got the one below, but felt that it isn’t bright enough so I switched to the lamp above. 


And I also got the cooker that was my main objective for this run. 😆


Next stop was Fully Booked x Kinokuniya


Clips are my current obsession and Ukanmuri is my current favorite. 


And yes, I will buy more on my next visit. I have so many uses for it!


This Snoopy x Sarasa was new to me. I was in a hurry, so I wasn’t able to inspect the display properly. 


These 2 items went home with me. 


Next door was Daiso, but I only bought 2 things there, too. Daiso has not had any new items in months! 

Final stop was Mitsukoshi Fresh.

This cooking sake was 70% off. I immediately got it, and showed my friend. 


He was excited too, until he remembered to ask me to check the date. It’s August 20! I cannot speed cook this amount of sake in just a few days! 

I feel like this is one of this grocery’s mistakes. They put items on sale when the expiry or best before date is already very near. If it was me, I’d put these on sale 2 months before. 



I wanted the ponzu, too, but it was also nearing its date! So, I put it back



I’ve been wanting these fruit jellies for the longest time, but you can’t buy them per piece. You have to buy a whole box and a whole box is quite expensive. 


I was contemplating buying this Moomin tin. It has the berry biscuits that I was looking for. They’re delicious! But I don’t really need the tin and it’s quite expensive compared to individual biscuit packs. 

The queues were so long at the till and it was almost 9 pm when we left. 

After 6 days of being cooped up in the house because of the rain, I needed this day out with my family. 

How’s your week going, Glow Girl? Happy Hump Day!

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
