Review: Louis Vuitton Pallas MM Tote in Black

Review: Louis Vuitton Pallas MM Tote in Black

If there is a Louis Vuitton work bag that I would recommend, it would be the Louis Vuitton Pallas MM Tote in black. For me, it screams of simplicity, elegance, and carefree. The absence of vachetta leather makes it even easier to lug around on a busy work day that involves running errands. The bag measures about 13.40 inches in length, 10.24 inches in height, and 5 inches in width. The bag has 2…

Random Thoughts: Today Is The Color Blue

Random Thoughts: Today Is The Color Blue

The color blue is associated with sadness, melancholy, or depression. Hence, you hear people saying that they feel blue. Another negative connotation of the color is when used to depict an aftermath of a violent act, like when one says someone was beaten black and blue. But just like beauty, the interpretation of the color blue lies on the beholder. Image credit: Marketing Access Pass…

Review: Louis Vuitton Rosalie Coin Purse in Monogram Fuchsia

Louis Vuitton is not only known for their luggage and travel accessories and handbags, they also have very amazing small leather goods like wallets, cases, pouches, and accessories. I own quite a few small leather goods, but my favorites are their wallets. I am more partial to the smaller wallets because these fit into any size of hand bags. LV wallets also surprisingly carry stuff that…

My first blog sale on here! I have been selling stuff online through eBay and Instagram, but I thought I would also share it on here for those who prefer to transact outside of eBay that charges extra. I am selling some stuff that I have never used, brand new, and some still have tags on it. You can either message me on here for any questions. I only accept PayPal payments (you may choose to…

Random Thoughts: The 6 Impossible Things I Believe In

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”the White Queen, Alice in Wonderland As a child, Alice in Wonderland became a favorite bedtime story not only because it is long and thus prolongs my staying-up time but because it has very interesting story lines. I have to admit that even though my imagination knows no bounds at that time, I still got confused on…

I Am Back...Ish

I Am Back…Ish

I started a new job last April, still with the same company but on a different department. This is something new and exciting as I have no background whatsoever of this new job, but I think this will be good for my career growth. The only downside is I am constantly traveling to train and to cover our other locations as this new responsibility covers a much wider territory. But to keep you a…

Ask Me: As An Adult, How Do You Deal With Your Bullies?

I have another reader with a very good question for me, and this topic is very near and dear to my heart as I have first-hand experiences to share, as well as the lessons that come with it. Her exact message is: “Hello po, na-experience niyo na po ba ang ma-bully? All my life lagi na lang akong nabu-bully, maski nung bata pa ako hanggang ngayon na matanda na ako sa work bullied pa din.

Random Thoughts: Bone of Contention

I am currently having an argument or disagreement with a dear friend. I am giving her some space, and I know that we will get this all patched up eventually. But I also know that I have my own stance as she has her own. Our current differences is about our positions on dealing with self-entitled people.

Ask Me: How Can You Afford Luxury Bags?

There is actually more to that question sent to me on here. The full context of the question is: “You have not been working in the US for long, how are you able to afford all these luxury bags? Does your husband buy these for you? Do you use credit cards, or financing? How many LV bags do you have?”Anonymous Sender, February 2021 To be honest, I don’t think I will be able to afford luxury items…

Random Thoughts: Show-and-Tell

If there is one thing that I miss most in school when I was young, that will be show-and-tell day. I studied in a public elementary school, a private high school, and a state university. All schools required me to wear the school uniform, with the exception of my senior year in college. As to that, it is really hard to stand out, have a certain look, and be different. On show-and-tell days, we…

Ask Me: “Why Do Filipinas Go For Old Men?”

This is the first rude and presumptuous question that I received here in my blog. But instead of biting back, I thought why not address that question on here in a more organized way. I am sure I am not the only one who encountered this kind of question that leaves everyone baffled, awkward, or uncomfortable. So ladies and gentlemen, please grab a drink or a snack, or both, and let’s see if we can…

Random Thoughts: Why I Write

Random Thoughts: Why I Write

Novelist and playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton said that the pen is mightier than the sword. I strongly believe this adage; not just because I have no brawn to offer, but because communication will always be a better option in my book than violence. But more than that, I believe that writing is also a form of self-care. Photo credit: pexels.com There are a lot of things that I want to say, but I…

Review: Yves Saint Laurent Classic Monogram Belt Bag in Canvas and Leather

I have been on a quest to jump into the belt bag bandwagon. Well, not really, in my younger years I have used belt bags. I would normally carry or wear one when mountain climbing. It was very easy to carry small essentials like my cellphone, keys, cardholder, a small Swiss knife, a lighter, and some feminine products. It made me hands-free, and other than my hiking backpack, for the most part it…
