Life of an Entrepreneur
Selling gemstones online is so fun, it’s a side hustle that really fired up my love for shopping imagination. It’s amazing how much the store has grown. I wish I could offer customization services but that will be the future of the brand. What I didn’t expect is that my store would lead to a… Continue reading

Bag Care and Maintenance: How I Clean My Bags
I haven’t used most of my bags during the quarantine for obvious reasons, I rarely ever go out. Now that the contagion is somewhat contained, we’re starting to see businesses opening up and there are now reasons to go out – although we only do so when absolutely needed. There’s been a lot of construction… Continue reading

The Bathroom is Finally Done

The bathroom was finally completed last week. It’s been a long 3 weeks guys, but it was finally over. Let’s be real, I didn’t know how expensive it will be, renovating a small bathroom. Damn, no wonder a small house costs millions to build these days. As you can see, the completed project is hardly… Continue reading

Bathroom Renovations

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but we live in an old house that’s been left empty for years. As you can imagine, the overall look and feel of the house are outdated. Often, the design goes against my preferences and you know how I love to surround myself with beautiful thangs. Anyhoo,… Continue reading

Investing in Better Sleep
Since malls remain semi-closed and I can’t travel anywhere, I do my shopping online. And the problem with online shopping is it’s so habit-forming. Every day since this God-forsaken health crisis started, we get a new package from the trinity: Lazada, Shoppee, SM. Yes, it’s a mini-crisis on its own, hahaha! Anyhoo, one of the… Continue reading

Since I experienced the same thing, I thought it was a good idea to give the husband something… Continue reading

Dealing with Postpartum Shit
… no, I haven’t outgrown the habit of adding the word “shit” to plural things that I cannot name, hahaha! As of writing this, I am 8 days post-partum. It’s been a great week, I’ve healed enough that I no longer need the pain meds (although I still take it to minimize the risk of… Continue reading

Rocky and I totally made it to September 1, guys, I am very pleased! As you know, I’ve been pregnant for what felt like forever and I finally gave birth on September 1, right around the time when Jose Mari Chan’s memes reared its ugleh head, hahahaha! Can you tell how happy I am? I… Continue reading

Pregnancy Journey: The Home Stretch

At 39 weeks pregnant, I was told by my OB that I could give birth anytime. But since I’m a control freak, I told her that I’m willing to wait until the first of September – about a week away – because I want Rocky’s birthday to not feel “off.” If you know me then… Continue reading

Still Here, Still Pregnant!

It’s funny how I haven’t written anything here for the past few months. I guess in many ways, the lockdown dampened my enthusiasm to write, huh. The last time I updated this blog, I was about 3 months pregnant, going on 4. Well, now I’m about 8 months pregnant, exhausted, hurting, and just about ready… Continue reading
