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!

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 ...

When You Need a Tiny Reset (Glow Cards Are Here)

The shade is actually a dusty mauve or muted orchid. It looks blue on the image, but it's not blue.  There are days when I don’t need a full day off — I just need a moment. A tiny reset. A quiet pause in the swirl of noise. That’s how Glow Cards were born.
