Things That Made Me Pause

Things That Made Me Pause - Typo

Remember when I said that I was stuck at home for over a week?

Well, my son and I got out and wandered in Greenbelt.

We went inside Typo.

For some reason, I haven’t bought anything from this store in years.

But I always find something I like in Typo Singapore. Hmmm…

Strawberries and cherries are my thing.

Breakfast tabs! I was tempted to buy this one, but I still have a lot of tabs to use up.

I am always drawn to food stickers.

I currently have an obsession with stamp markers. As a matter of fact, I have acquired my son’s sets. Yes, sets. 2 sets. He’s not using them anymore. So mommy will. 😁

This Essential Pen Pack is a good idea. But I didn’t buy it because I already have…well, you know my pen situation.

This Artist’s Tool Belt caught my eye. Mmm.. tempting. But I already have a system.

And of course these travel bags and pouches caught my eye. I tried so hard not to buy any because, well, I don’t need anything from this table. Want? Absolutely! But no essentials that I needed.

And look what I found! A Junk Journaling Kit! In a tin lunchbox!

Oh, gosh. This pouch..

I love the color.

I love the compartments

And I love that hollow portion on the back for more stuff! Good thing this was too small for my needs, so, wallet safe!

Next up, I’m gonna show you my Almosts..

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...
