Holiday Fridate Part 6: Venice Grand Canal Mall at Night and Miniso


This part of Venice always has the most people. People like taking their photos on this bridge. 

We stayed at Venice for a long time because there were a few shops I wanted to visit and they were located far from each other. 

But I got to experience it at twilight and eventually when the sun has decided to rest from our part of the globe. 


I love pretty lights that’s why Christmas is my favorite holiday. All those lights adorning the streets and malls are so beautiful at night. 



I passed by this sleeping cat on my way to another store. I left the boys at the food hall so that I can do my shopping fast. 


The cat was in front of Texas Road House. 

Seeing the collar on the cat, the mall must also have a policy on cats like Ayala Malls. Ayala Malls protect the stray cats in their area. They are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and well-fed. 


My next stop was Miniso. I hardly go to Miniso ever since their branch near me closed. 



I was happy to find it here! 

I didn’t know there were so many Milk flavors!

I wrote about this snack on Lady E Eats. 


Here I go again with Hello Kitty totes. I didn’t buy this, but maybe next time. 😆


They have new Minions merch! And you know my son and I are big Minions fans. 




I wanted to get that big Bob plushie. I had to reach on my tiptoes to get it…


Only to get disappointed because it was this hybrid backpack, pillow, plushie thing. 


My son would’ve loved it. Look how huge it is!!


I’m thinking of getting one or two of those Hello Kitty head plushies to use as back support when I write. 


Venice mall at night. 




Hello, Wells Fargo! Hahaha! I sent this photo to my friend. He got the joke. 


I also dropped by Mumuso, but nothing caught my eye. 



Well, these did, but it was late so I just took photos and made a mental note to see if my local Mumuso carries them. 

Now I’m really curious. Mumuso carries some good skincare. 


I did a quick pit stop at the supermarket before going home. 


I found Laduree on our way home. It’s been a year since they opened, but I still haven’t visited! 

Lots of other things that require my attention. 

Maybe soon.
 
I miss Laduree macarons. 


And that is finally the end of this Holiday Fridate series. Watch out for Issue 04, Glow Girls. The next issue will be different from our usual format.

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...

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...

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...
