Growth✨

Sometimes it’s nice to take a step back and look at where you are now in life, at what you have been doing lately, to know how you are feeling.

A breather whether you’re happy or sad. I know I usually do this when I’m really bursting with emotions, especially sadness.

But now at this very moment I just feel calm and at peace.

I’m happy that I or maybe say “we” have come back stronger. I’m more happy and secured now. I feel valuable, loved and more seen. I am more than okay mentally. Physically, I am now getting back to what I want my body to look. Not there yet but small steps. Hehe. Business not booming compared last year but we are getting by and it still provides. Learned to give gifts for myself, learned it’s okay to spend sometimes for things and experiences. Rewarding yourself is not an expense but a gift and an investment for your mental health. Happy to have travelled already out the country for the first time and can’t wait for what’s more to come.

Blessed with my gorgeous lil lad growing and keeps on surprising me everyday with how much he has already grown not just physically but in mind as well.

I’m happy to see people I know winning in life as well. Celebrating wins and milestones and how much they have grown.

Thank You for the growth. ☺️🙏🏻✨

GoodNotes app

The one time payment to unlock to create multiple documents in GoodNotes app is so worth it. I personally love planners and journalizing, and this app really helped me saved more. I know you could purchase online planners and stickers but what I did is I just edited through canva how I would like my pages to look then saved it through my keynote app to link pages so I can easily create clickable tabs per month for easy navigation.

Aside from that this is where I created my itinerary from our last trip to Palawan. All to the places we went as well how much we spent is documented there.

A simple social media calendar of what brand do I target to post for a certain day and how many posts. Saved all brands that I have into stickers so I can easily put them when I create schedules.

This serves also a work board as well as a notebook for me, since I enrolled into different free self paced classes in Coursera.

With my lil buddy. —- Planning, journalizing, and working while this lil kiddo’s watching and playing.

I do personally recommend the KHAN ACADEMY KIDS app if you have a toddler. It’s… - free - easy to navigate - no pop up annoying ads - has videos, games, even let’s your child draw and trace

but still please do monitor and limit the screen time of your little ones 😅

Amidst of the number of sold, the number of packages we choose to capture and post and flaunt...

Our shopee sales really went down. If it weren't for tiktokshop I wouldn't even have a sale a day. After our shopee got suspended for more or less a week. We really pushed and worked on retrieving it because this is what pays our bills as well as my child's needs primarily the milk and nappies. Yet even if we have finally retrieved it, sales are not what it used to be. I don't know if it's just because the hype is more on tiktokshops already. Or maybe because it was the days our shop isn't visible in the platform. Or maybe because of the previous suspension that occurred that gave us less traffic. Tried even paying for ads but it is really not how it used to be.

---

Anyway just trying my best still to push with whatever I can. Trying to be more active again in postings and comments.

Praying for your fast recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Being financially independent is a BIG WIN! 🙏🏻 TYL

I pay my personal bills. I pay the net (home/shop/condo). Diapers and milk. Insurance. Household electricity. +++

And now I guess it won’t hurt to buy something for myself. Like really buy something.

low maintenance friends >>>

Had the time to catch up with someone today. Talked for almost an hour. One of my best escapes. Putting my mind in someone else's reality for a while. To all my low maintenance friends out there. ily. I know we don't talk daily, weekly, or even monthly... but I really love how we can easily speak of anything under the sun even though we don't get to speak on a regular basis. Thank you for being my comfort zone. and to my friend whom I spoke with a while ago.. it brings me joy knowing of how you are doing now. even made me smile after an idk night.

switch off

I have come to the point of being dead. I had my time of breakdowns. I had my time with meds. I had my time of being okay (?) a never ending cycle. and at some point you just have to choose to stop feeling. because breakdowns won't pay all the bills you have to pay nor be the mother you must to your child. sadness will be there but so does your responsibilities in life choosing to switch off feelings for today and turn on the button to function

The fact that I’m still in this thing while I’m hurting is that I value and have high respect in what I got myself into.

I wish I could value and respect myself and feelings that high too.
