I got a few requests to send them postcards with wax seals since my last post and I'm more than happy to oblige 😂

So here are some of the additional cards I prepared this morning. If you'd like to receive a postcard from me, just leave your favorite emoji below and DM your mailing details. I'd love to send you a surprise. 📬

In today's blog post, learn about the beauty of hydrosols and why it's the better choice (over essential oils!) if you want to use aromatherapy around small children and small animals. 👶🐶🐱🐩🐈‍⬛

I'm a girl of various hobbies. I move between interests like a ping-pong ball. Today, I decided to take a break from all my studying by completing another batch of postcards for mailing. 📬

I love writing snail mail. ✉️ A thoughtful handwritten letter, whether it's a quick thank you note or a detailed letter, is a simple gesture that can instantly brighten someone's day.

I'm also trying my hand in wax sealing so I'm giving these Potterhead wax stamps a run...obviously I need more practice. But I love how the colors of the wax seals turned out. 💖

People often ask me how I seem to have it all figured out--how did I come to where I am now?

I always remind my students not to stress about it and that everything's a journey. I take everything a day at a time and take things in stride.

I do everything intuitively. With intuition, you just “know” something. It doesn’t need even have to make sense. It doesn’t need a logical explanation. It’s just a confidence that you feel, backed by the wisdom of the universe.

I don't think I've already "figured it out." But I try to embrace the moment and feel content in whatever point of life I am right now. It's a continous process of learning and unlearning. A journey of knowing and appreciating.

So wherever you are in life right now, embrace it. Appreciate it. We have a lifetime of learning and unlearning. And, in that process, you'll discover more about yourself and let your inner voice shine through. 🗣️

My Yuzu Chamomile Brightening Eye Cream 👁️👁️

Another productive Sunday working on my botanical beauty formulations. 😁

I got so inspired by Saturday Skin's Yuzu Bright Eye Cream that I decided to make my own. I wanted a rich-textured eye cream that feels really luxurious to touch but should still be light enough for our tropical Philippine weather.

Formulated to lessen the appearance of dark under eye circles, I used exclusively plant-based ingredients that are anti-inflammatory, promotes circulation, and are skin regenerative to keep our eye area looking fresh and youthful. I also used ingredients that are known to help boost collagen and elastin production, to prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 👀👀👀

As usual, no artificial color and artificial fragrance was used all throughout. 100% paraben-free, silicone-free, and vegan-friendly. 💚🌱

I've got 3 oils to compare side by side in today's

'𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞.' -𝐴𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑏

Weekends are for catching up on readings 📚 with a cup of my favorite @basilurteaph Sencha Green Tea 🍵.

I am rereading this book 𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐠: 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔. It's a good book if you're looking to apply some basic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles in your life.

In the book, it is mentioned how Sencha Green Tea is loved by the Chinese, especially during summer season. Green tea is rich in vitamins, minerals, and an anti-anxiety amino acid called L-Theanine. It's a great year-round tea, especially for those individuals who has a tendency to feel hot--that's 𝕞𝕖! (p. 141) Other benefits of green tea includes a boost on brain function, helps control blood sugar, helps with fat digestion and boosts metabolism. (p. 57) Get your tea fix from @honesttraders.ph

COFFEE, TEA, OR ME? 🤪

I love my coffee but I also love my tea. Good thing there's a one stop shop where I can get both!

I'm so excited to try this Kinto Faro dripper. One of the things that hold people back from pour over coffee is the amount of preparation and apparatus needed. For beginners, the Kinto Faro set is all you'll need as it has the dripper, the filter, and even the cup stacked in one go--how cool is that? Can't wait to try my Ethiopian beans with this cool thing.

@honesttraders.ph is the official distributor of Kinto, Basilur Tea, Tipson Tea, and other cool tita wares you can ever think of. You can check them out via Lazada.

Today, my rescued doggo reminded me to stop and smell the flowers. 🌸🌺🌼🌻💐

I haven't taken my big boy out for a walk in a while as I've been preoccupied with the demands of life. It's been a roller coaster ride since May and it's so easy to get caught up in the chaos of everyday but I'm just glad that in the few mornings I get to spend time with this angel, I get reminded to take a breather and appreciate the simplest pleasures in life. 🏵️🌷🌹💐

🧘🏻‍♀️ Garland Pose (Malansana) is yoga

🧘🏻‍♀️ Garland Pose (Malansana) is yoga's deep squat. It opens your hips and groin in counterbalance to the tightness you can develop from sitting too much.

Malasana stretches the inner groin and hips, strengthens the hip flexors, lower back, knees and ankles. It is a very good pose for keeping the knees and ankles flexible and strong at the same time. It encourages strengthening of the pelvic floor, increases circulation to the abdominal organs, aids digestion and eases constipation. As with backbends and twists it stimulates a healthy gut which has a strong link to our moods and emotional well-being. Malasana improves balance, concentration, and focus.

S.O.S. (Save Our Skin!) 🙆🏻‍♀️

Tonight's pre-bedtime situation. Trying out @pilianiph Ageless Concentrate for the first time as my skin is in dire need of moisture 💦

It's been super dehydrated from being an in air-conditioned room for most of the day. It got so bad that my lips started cracking from the sides (think joker 😟) that eating a meal is rather painful.

Good thing Pili Ani's got an amazing selection of products at 30-50% off on Shopee until May 31st! So go ahead and replenish your selfcare stash before the bestsellers get out of stock!

New oily video uploading tonight! After weeks of YouTube hybernation I'm back with another Smell Test video. This time I'm comparing 3 kinds of Cedarwood... Plus a few announcements and a private giveaway to my most loyal wasabis. 💚💚💚

Stay tuned. It's gonna go up before 9pm fosho. 💋

Thank you Society of Gynecologic Oncologists of the Philippines for having me today. It was such a pleasure to be with you in your midyear convention and talk about the Philippines' pride @pilianiph 🇵🇭

Thank you Pili Ani for giving me the opportunity to talk about the wonders of Pili Oil and Elemi Oil.

I have this red patch of itchies that pops up when I'm physically overworked. The doctor said it's stressed induced. I have very low sensitivity to stress. I've always felt I thrive in it 😝 but I guess here's my body's own way of calling me out.

So I decided to make my own organic lotion using all plant-based ingredients. No artificial coloring, no artificial scents, all natural botanical formulation. 👌👌👌

I decided to pull my big guns in this: my Helichrysum, Manuka, and Blue Tansy.

Want to learn about this vegan lotion? Visit my blog www.couchwasabi.com/blog 💚

PS, super thanks to @nycaromatica for influencing me in getting Manuka. 😘
