  • Hello, I’m Still Here!

    Didn’t realize that I stopped blogging for 3 months, time breezed by so fast since the last time I was here! Hi, hello, yes, I’m still alive. In fact, I am thriving at the moment, albeit busier than usual. I was busy with the new biz for the first few months but everything’s winding down… Continue reading

  • The Next Bag on My List

    Oh hey! Let’s talk about bags, shall we? I have tons of products to review, I swear but I am so busy all the time, I barely have time for myself. That’s parenthood for ya. Anyhoo, I promised myself that my bag collection will be as diverse as possible. My aim was to get a… Continue reading

  • Reveal and Review: YSL Toy Lou Lou

    This came out of nowhere, right? I swore that I won’t get a new bag this year and has stuck to that promise until last week when I saw a good deal and went for it. The timing couldn’t be more inconvenient, but I lusted over this bag for months, so my resolve weakened just… Continue reading

  • Getting Back to Me and Being a Mom-terpreneur

  • Review: Banila Co. Liplike Moist Tint in Red Berry

    Review: Banila Co. Liplike Moist Tint in Red Berry

    I love a good Korean lip, especially now that my beauty routine is simpler. Back in the day, I would layer two to three different lip shades to create a new shade or layer the same shade repeatedly to achieve a certain level of opacity. These days, however, I’m into translucent colors, sheer hues that… Continue reading

  • Moving Away from Writing?

    I’ve been a writer for over a decade now and I could not imagine stopping anytime soon. But after having a kid, I realized that I need to look for a more stable source of income. Granted, some of my clients have been with me for years, but I realized that some things won’t stay… Continue reading

    What I Got for My Birthday: iPhone Xr

    I had a feeling I won’t get a bag for my birthday and I was right. I got a new phone instead! As much as I wished for a new bag, I needed the phone more. You see, my 4-year-old mobile phone died on my birthday. Quite literally, my damn phone chose my birthday to… Continue reading

    UPDATED: Added another important item to my list of baby essentials! Having a baby two months and counting, I have a pretty good idea what baby products work and what items we could live without.
