We’re already done with the first quarter of the year. And, yes, I’m still letting the fact sink in. I’ve tried to steer clear of writing personal posts on this blog but have found it difficult to commit to. Most of the posts you’ll see here are — I hope — helpful, in one way …
I’ve probably already said it before and maybe more than once, but I love ukay (or thrift shopping as it’s called in other countries). What is believed to have started in Baguio in the 1980s (called wagwagan, named after the way one would dust off a piece of clothing), ukay-ukay, derived from the word halukay …
So, it’s been a while. I know I said in our About page that I somehow don’t get tired of writing even though I do it a lot and I edit a lot of other people’s works, but it’s changed now, friends. These days I find myself just scrolling through my feed instead of writing …
Summer’s only fun when you’re at the beach. And I believe in that wholeheartedly. The heat’s been horrid. If only we could spend all the weekends of our lives feeling the sand in our toes, embracing the crash of waves, swimming in lovely beaches. We did have a mini-getaway last weekend. It was a double …
Wellness is the most popular topic of conversations and projects these days. Most everyone you know has plans, if not already starting, to get fitter and living healthier.

I had debated with myself whether to post something as personal as this for a few days before ultimately deciding to go for it. Not that you needed to know that, of course. And it’s also not like you need this post. But I have been thinking a lot lately (well, I think a lot …
It’s not something we’re comfortable talking about. At least, I know it’s not something I’m comfortable talking about. Well, not really. I’m starting to try to be more at ease about the subject. It’s admittedly tough to not only have conversations about but also to navigate. There are things I wish I discovered when I was …
Things are still slow for me in the beauty department. I sometimes get the urge to whip out my brushes and makeup products and just play, but I still don’t have the energy for it. I did promise to make this year the one where I reacquaint myself with makeup, as in really learning and …
It’s my first year anniversary at my job. I still remember how scared I was at the start of 2017 because I knew I’d face a lot of things that were new to me. And I was right. There were so many firsts. Still fresh from getting into the groove of things, in my second …
