Sampled,
Tested
And waited
I finally got my Diptyque Lilyphea. 💚 The green notes threw me off at first, but they grew on me pretty quickly. Thus sampling first is very important before committing a full bottle.
After a few minutes, it smells so good on my skin, and the dry-down? Love it. It lasted about 4–5 hours on me, but it's definitely more of an intimate scent that stays close to the skin.
So happy with this recent purchase.
All of these perfumes are on my wishlist, but I just can't decide which one to get next! 😩
Please help this confused pregnant mama decide! 🤣🙏🤍 Which one would you pick?

I stepped back a bit and stayed silent about my sister’s divorce with her husband
Context:
I am a mother of a 3yrs old boy and also 5months pregnant. Working from home and doing household chores partially, my husband does most of it and we have a part time nanny during my working hours. Nakakapagod actually!
Ever since I got pregnant my family would only asked few questions about my situation and pregnancy, my husband and I are in the midst of dealing with our son and enrolling him to a therapy and play-school (long story, quite a stressful event but so far so good). I get it they are busy consoling my sister due to her recent issues with the husband. She is planning for divorce and separation.
But it had gotten to a point where they have been so negative about it and I understand naman - but too much hatred, vengeance and toxicity. At first I did support my sister but I want to keep my peace and sanity. I don’t want to stress myself due to my current situation and di naman nila ako kinakamusta so I think okay lang di na ako makisali. Hehehehe
Am I being selfish ba?
Recently, I have been very intentional when it comes to buying perfume. So far here’s the top perfumes in my wishlist.
Also, currently pregnant and I am not planning to wear anything after giving birth for a year or so, giving myself more time to buy these beauties, no pressure 😍☺️🙏

After 2.4 years I have panned my favorite loose powder, I have backups already. Bought before the price increase
I am a HAPPY wife and momma. I prayed for this kind of happiness and contentment in life.
But as a child I grew up in an environment where being compared is just normal - family events, simple dinner and random events. In other words, I was insecure. And so today, my mom is celebrating with my sister, her 2 daughters and 1 son, she needs help since kakapanganak lng nya sa youngest son niya last March. She was the favorite. I greeted my mom and sister and told them if I can have a quick call - seen. I also chatted them individually ng Happy mother’s day, heart emoji lng. End of the day, I only did receive a pre-formatted template na greetings from my Mom. Baka busy lang? Mind you, I am also pregnant and may anak na 3yrs old.
Sad but not surprised. ☺️😢
But my husband did everything to make this day extra special, so I am still thankful. ☺️❤️
I love this bronzer and I really need a backup. Sadly, cannot find the darker shade (3).
Not a minimalist, not a hoarder I am just keeping the things I love and actually use 🤍

Keeping it as light as possible ☺️🥰

When I first began my fragrance journey, I was convinced that I loved rich, gourmand vanilla scents. But over time, my taste evolved. I discovered that I’m actually drawn to a lighter, airier style of vanilla, something less dense and more refined.
I found this scent at Ken Apothecary here in Malaysia, and I instantly fell in love with. I ended up purchasing a bottle from a reputable seller at a better price, rather than buying directly in-store. 😂
Memo Cap Camarat smells like a salty air, warm sunlight, and smooth skin after a swim. The opening is quite bright and fresh but its the heart notes and dry down takes it all - that vanilla starting to show up with the touch of soft woods, benzoin and resin. 🥰❤️
“watery, airy freshness… then creamy floral vanilla”
