Glow by Lady E

Can’t wait to wear these! And of course, I got rid of 4 pieces from my collection. 4 in, 4 out.

Lots of beads from Hyphen this season. These have matching bracelets too:

 This is Part 3 of this post. Read Part 1 here . Part 2 here .  After buying stuff for my son, I went to Mumuso and got these: This is for my son's music sheets.  We got this fan as a GWP.  S&R After that, we just did groceries at S&R Back Home I was so tired when we got home, but I'm a mom so Mom Crown on. I had to put away all the groceries by myself as my husband received a call from the office.  Then, I washed the dishes from breakfast. I bought this corned beef from NoBrand and decided to just cook it for dinner.  This is the first time we're tasting this. There was a small amount of corned beef in this can. There was a big percentage of it with just lard.  The corned beef is sweet. It doesn't taste like gyudon. It's just corned beef that's sweet. My son and I liked it. (Or maybe we were just hungry? 😆) My husband didn't. He says it's weird because it's sweet. Well, that's why it's gyudon flavored corned beef, bruh. I also heate...

I’ve been in so much stress for the past month and a half and I promised myself that I would go retail therapy last weekend. So I did. Saizen and Etude House hauls I got a few things from Saizen, Etude House and Watsons. From Saizen, I got the organizers which I will use for my wedding gig this coming weekend. I will also use the coral mat to line the table to prevent my things – brushes, lipsticks, etc. from slipping/rolling. I also got new food bowls for my cats which are not pictured here. I was originally planning to buy the Gommage scrub from Etude House but got carried away when I saw their new nail products. Good thing I was able to go back only to find out that the Gommage scrub has been out of stock for quite some time now. Anyway, I got an eyeshadow brush, also for the wedding gig, a nude nail polish which is really pretty, a cuticle treatment cream, a nail polish remover (the one in the tube), a top coat and a quick dry serum. I was intrigued with the nail po...

This is part 2. If you'd like to read part 1 first, head on over here I forgot to say in part 1 that I went to Charles and Keith to buy a pair of shoes. After lunch, we went to H&M to look for clothes for my son but didn't find any in his size. On the way back to Greenbelt, we stopped by Ayala Museum's free section. They were having an exhibit about water. I told my son that we should go because we once discussed this in our homeschool.  Ayala Museum I love this painting This part, where women and girls carry the burden of water collection in some countries, really struck my online students when we discussed this in Ancient Civilizations. This stayed with them. By the way, if you didn't know, I used to teach the students in my homeschool group online. 😊 If you're homeschooling, drop by Ayala Museum to check out this exhibit. The entrance is on the bridgeway to Greenbelt. They regularly have free exhibits in that part of the museum.  Circuit Mall: Uniqlo and Ske...

Well, as far as I can remember, that is. These are both from Paul & Joe, my favorite brand for foundations. As you may already know, the brand pulled out from the PH some time ago, back when I was still pregnant. I was so disappointed when I went to Rustan’s to buy some makeup from them. Fortunately, they had a super sale in Glorietta so I was able to buy my pressed foundation (2nd photo). That’s a liquid foundation in the first photo. My liquid/cream foundations and BB cream stash is down to the last tube so I needed to buy a new one. I thought about stocking up on them but dismissed the thought because they might spoil because the pressed foundation lasts me a year. Will review the liquid foundation in my next post.

(and a little love for pieces that still spark joy) Today was one of those days when I felt like playing dress-up — not for anyone else, not even for errands, just for me. I've been doing some purging after that mega shopping spree I did last Saturday. (Read Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 ).  I dug through my jewelry box to look for pieces that don't suit my lifestyle anymore and found these old green beaded bracelets. I almost forgot how good they look against my skin tone. Wore them stacked for a bit of boho energy. Then I saw my Harajuku Lovers earrings. 🐸 They instantly brought me back to the time when I owned a beauty and fashion business called Hyphen. More on that later.  I can't really wear them out now — they don’t fit my current style — but I still love them. So I wore them at home today. Why not? Also wearing: A deep green ribbed tank (comfy and clean) Olive lounge pants with pinstripes that add a soft structure. I know the colors clash a bit but who cares! Green is m...
