Sunday, Somewhere Lovely


 I wanted to go on a date on Saturday, but the hubby had work. 

Saturday night he said, “Let’s go out tomorrow.”

Dates are usually tangled with shopping + errands. 

Oh, you know me, Glow Girls. 😏


My BYS Glow Guide Sarah texted me Saturday night saying that my favorite brands were on sale. I told her I’ll try to go the next day. 

We went to Watsons, but unfortunately, she was on break. I didn’t want to disturb her so my other girl, Carla, assisted me. 

I got a bag full of things that my husband raised his brow at, at first, but when I explained it, he said that works. 

I wasn’t able to take photos of the sale items like I originally planned. 

Sorry, Glow Girls! I got carried away. 👉🏼👈🏼

Plus we were in a rush because we were going to a few places after my Watsons raid. 



I was able to take a photo of this brush I got though. It was on sale, too!

In between pampering my hands in the car.



Our next stop was KKV!


KKV- My Wonderland Wasteland




They have a whole Sanrio City! I would buy these if we had space!









My son and I are crazy over Minions, but we have enough toys…for now. 😏 


Cookie Monster is the official Little E boyfriend. 😆


How cute are these roller erasers?? I didn’t need them, so they want back to the display


These pins are also pretty, but I didn’t have anywhere I can put them. 
Or maybe I’m just a sucker for cats? 🤔


My gosh, these clips! But I don’t like the ghost kitties, so I put this back. 


They have a few new stickers. 

I really don’t understand why it takes so long to have new stocks! Or is it just this branch? I haven’t been to this branch in over a month. But there weren’t a lot of new things. For the size and magnitude of this brand, it just doesn’t make sense in my head. 

 Hmmm.. I must investigate this further. 





I asked my friend if this is any good because I like Mont Marte products. But it’s too affordable that he said to just go for it. So, Add to Cart!



Oh, the cute band-aids. But we don’t use them,  so I just admired. 


I was contemplating buying these but they’re too expensive seeing as I change marshmallow puffs frequently. 


Oh, the cute plates! 


These apple bowls went home with me. They remind me of someone very special in my life. 


These are cabinet door handles! How cute! 


I’m thinking of getting 1 or 2 of these cherry cups/mugs. They remind me of someone very special, too! 




I got my extra tote out for my curated purchases. The cashier checked her screen and said, “actually ma’am, you get a free tote!” Yay!



Our Sunday was off to a good start.

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...
