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..

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...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...

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...
