Glow by Lady E

H appy Christmas, Glow Ladies! How was/is your Christmas Eve? I wish that you are surrounded with the love of family and friends, laughter, and the Miracle of the Season. 

H ello, my lovely Glow Girls! I am swamped with orders. As you may know, I make a lot of paper products, mugs, and other crafts. Check out the digital versions on my Gumroad (link below).  I shipped the last orders yesterday, but I got another one last night that is due on Sunday! Aside from that, I haven't finished making my gifts for my godkids! (I mostly create my gifts so that I can customize them.) So now you can see the panic that I'm in. 🤣  However, it's the day before Christmas and I wanted to give some love to this blog.  I promise, I will make it up to you, Glow Girls! 2026 will be phenomenal!

Pineapples are one of the premier fruits of Tagaytay.  Kuya Fil choosing pineapples for me. I couldnt go out of the car because of that dog! But eventually, I was able to go out. Kuya Fil got 3 pineapples for me.  Bahay Pastulan (Good Shepherd Tagaytay) After buying, we looked to our left and there was Good Shepherd! We asked each other if we wanted buy anything there. I contemplated whether I should still buy ube because I already bought some in Taal. But the pull of Good Shepherd ube was strong and we ended up going there!  I got the big tub of ube, a small bottle of adobo peanuts, and a bottle of burong mangga Found a papaya tree!  After Kuya's quick coffe...

Calle Crisologo by day is already enchanting, but the experience evolves as the day goes on. After our café and souvenir stroll, we found ourselves lingering longer—discovering more shops, escaping to the quiet of Mindoro Beach, and then circling back to see Calle Crisologo in the rain, which made everything feel cinematic.
