  Once I’d finally done something about all that dry skin, I decided my feet deserved the second half of the operation: moisture. Enter this extremely cheerful Christmas-themed rose nourishing foot mask . Did I use it at Christmas? Of course not. I only recently got around to using it because apparently this is where we are in my life now. I am so busy that even my seasonal beauty products have a backlog. 😂 Do you remember that I usually celebrate Christmas in January or February because of atelier work?  Apparently, it’s the same for my beauty routines. 😑 The little reindeer had been patiently waiting for its moment. The masks themselves were essentially little moisturizing socks. I put them on, sat there looking mildly ridiculous for a while, and let them do their thing. They felt weird. I’m neurodivergent, so being able to stick through the 15 minutes was a big deal  And afterward? My feet were happier. They’re not yet the ridiculously smooth, soft feet I want. We’re...

  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...

I have a weakness for little luxuries. Not necessarily the expensive kind. Sometimes it’s something as simple as putting gold eye patches under my eyes and walking around the house looking like I have a skincare appointment somewhere far more glamorous than my bedroom. These Bioten Hyaluronic Gold Hydrogel Eye Patches are exactly that kind of thing. They’re hydrating, de-puffing eye patches with hyaluronic acid and golden proteins, and they’re fragrance-free, which immediately made them more interesting to me. You know me and my sensitivity to strong fragrances.  But I also like the sheer ridiculous pleasure of them. They’re gold. They’re shiny. They make an ordinary few minutes of skincare feel just a little more indulgent. And they’re not flimsy like that pair I got from KKV that I used in Baguio.  There is something I love about finding products like this at the drugstore. Beauty doesn’t always have to arrive in a heavy glass jar with a three-digit price tag and a ...

  I read the Dior email too late and missed out on the Lucky Clover collection. It was sold out by the time I texted EJ, my Dior Ambassador. He said there were only a few pieces that arrived and it sold out fast. I was busy in the atelier.  I used to think missing out meant I had to find the next-best thing. But I didn’t want the next-best thing. I wanted the pretty little clover lipstick case.  The lipstick was available but the case was sold out, so I left without buying anything. Maybe healing also looks like this sometimes. Not scrambling. Not compensating. Not buying something I didn’t really want just because the thing I wanted was gone. Sometimes I can simply say, I missed it. And let that be okay. Something better will come soon.  —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E  An editorial space for stories, art, and intentional living

  🌸 A Special Note to My Singapore Glow Girls 🌸 This Soft Saturday Diary is lovingly dedicated to you. Whether you're exploring Muji on a quiet Orchard stroll, savoring a sweet treat at Jewel, or just resting your pretty head after a long Monday — I hope this little piece of my weekend brings you warmth, joy, and that gentle reminder to make space for yourself too. 💕 From one glow girl to another — stay soft, stay radiant.✨ With love, Lady E We were supposed to go to S&R and my usual haunts. But I was talking to one of my girl friends and she got me missing Muji. And that got me thinking... I miss BGC's ambiance. I just feel so alive and at home there. It was a rainy Saturday. Dark clouds and the cold made it a lazy kind of day, but my spirit was aching to go out. Maybe it was my blood. The women in my family love to go out when it's rainy. They even go out during typhoons. If it's not flooded, they will go out and frolick in the mall or wherever their heart desi...
