Soft Luxe Travels Day 2: The Road to Baguio and the Christmas Fair at Burnham Park

  H ello, Glow People! I was out for two days because we've been going out and when we get back to the hotel, I'm completely wiped out. But today, I decided to stay in so that I can update you about our Soft Luxe Travel.

Soul Post: Reflections of a Neurodivergent Mom

  H i, everyone! We're back in Manila. I wasn't able to post for the past 2 days because a lot has happened on Sunday and then we went home yesterday.  I was too exhausted to write last night.

The client requested that I add more items, so I added these: Custom chip bags with candies Color pens Small toy Stickers The best part of making chip bags is stuffing them with treats! Remember my Life in Bloom Journal Gift Box? This client requested a custom one for a 12-year old girl.

How I Prepare My ADHD Brain (and Skin) for December

  December is beautiful. It's my favorite month. Christmas is my favorite holiday. All the lights, the sounds, the sights, and the smells are just unbeatable.

So instead of pushing harder, I lean into preparation that respects my rhythm.
