House-help woes

It has been raining for several days now. The weather is cooler and the days are a bit gloomy. It is perfect for staying in bed. However, I noticed that every time the weather gets this way, my all-around house-help seems to be too lazy to have a bath.

This morning, I commented that she's been wearing the same set of clothes since Thursday evening. I asked if she wasn't feeling well. She said she was doing okay. I also mentioned that she may heat water for her bath if she finds it too cold.

I was reminded about our similar conversation a few months ago. I specifically told her that she has to finish all her personal stuff in the morning so she wont have to bother herself with that during the day. Most importantly, she has to take a bath daily. Knowing that she grew up in the province, she may have thought that she could go without baths if she is sick. I told her that it is the main reason that she has a headache. She had to let the heat out of her body by taking a bath. The following day, the headache is gone.

She was doing fine until this week. Hay naku. I thought I got the message across.

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products.  I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory.  I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this.  It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction.  It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day.  Available at Sephora stores. 2.  Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co -  If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product.  It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application.  The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube.  More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications.  Also available at Sephora stores.  ...

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.
