Glow by Lady E

  It's 4 pm and I'm finally able to sit down and talk to you, my Glow Ladies. My day started very late, because yesterday's ended as our neighbor's rooster crowed. We joke that he is a Call Center Rooster as he crows between 2-3 am. I had many things running through my head and being ADHD, I couldn't shake them off until I calmed myself and took the time to write them down. Sleep finally came only after I emptied my thoughts into notes and grounded with a dear friend.  The Day Starts By the time I got up at 11, I could feel the old guilt creeping in. But not today. I reminded myself: Queens aren’t late. They rise when they’re ready I'm not in a race. And it's Friday! Queens are allowed to take it easy on Fridays.  Once, I would’ve skipped my rituals and gone straight to the to-do list. But these days, I move with intention — stretching first, not for fitness, but for softness. I did my morning ritual and a few more chores before doing some stretches. Morning...

I’ve acquired more makeup since I showed you my Muji Drawer so I needed to re-arrange and organize my vanity again. Here’s how it looks like now: I needed the space so I decided to put my Muji Drawers upright. I just put a bunch of paper bags on the side for support. Believe me, it has ample support as I have tons of paper bags, LOL. MB and I made a quick trip to Muji Powerplant last Saturday because I was really itching to organize my stuff and room. I have so much stuff on the floor and it’s becoming hard to navigate my small room. So I got those plastic organizers (the one holding the lipsticks and the one with the scissors) together with a couple of drawers which I will show you later. At the back of the drawer rests my Etude House box housing my palettes. Then my earring organizer then another EH organizer that holds my random brushes then the necklace organizer that Kitten and I bought. Underneath the lipstick case is where I put my ipod and zen stuff. Then we ha...

Sunday morning was spent with a wonderful breakfast at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at A. Venue. We ordered Brek O’Day which included some bread, butter, strawberry jam, scrambled eggs, chicken sausages and dried apricots and dates with syrup. We upgraded this to include hot choco. One set costs around Php225. The bread was good but I didn’t like the chicken sausage. The skin was too tough so I had to scrape off the meat inside. I don’t eat hotdogs because I can’t digest them. I thought the chicken sausage would be a good alternative but I was wrong. At least I was able to digest them. I liked the dates but not the apricots. I think it wasn’t a good combination. The apricots were too bland and chewy.I don’t like spending too much time chewing my breakfast.  Starbucks’s signature hot chocolate still rocks. We also got one of these: The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Swirl Card This is like the advantage card for coffee and tea lovers. You get points every time you buy and you can use ...
