Blogger’s SPArty at Nails.Glow Batangas Branch

By Nathalie on August 18, 2018

Last week, I had the privilege of being invited to a local bloggers’ event. The invitation came from the lovely Ms. Betchie of Mommy QueenElizabeth, the details of which could be found on the photo above.

So I gratefully accepted her invitation.

By Nathalie on July 19, 2018

After that painful fall (pun intended) of my beloved Pilot Metropolitan, I couldn’t bear to just throw it away. Replacing the nib and/section was my only option, since getting the nib repaired would cost more than the pen itself. And as much as I love it to bits, I am not so carefree with my money as to go through with that option.

Just to be clear, I am in no way collecting fountain pens. Like, seriously collecting them. Even if I started buying last month and now have seven of them… 🙈

Intermittent Fasting

By Nathalie on March 26, 2018

Sometime last week, I saw this post about intermittent fasting (IF) when a friend posted it on our group chat:
