SuTuKil x Rice in Banana leaves 😋 Good morning! 😁 Relax time before tackling today’s tasks.. #bosslady
Few of my favourite fruits 😅 missing mango and Few of my favourite fruits 😅 missing mango and avocado 💗 and just realized I haven’t been to the market aka tabuan/isdaan in months 😭 Living off fruit stands and mini markets.. Also wearing my #airpurifier even at home (got this yesterday!) 😅 not sure if it works but it’s working well with smoke and pollens (bye bye allergies 😂)🙌🏻 and I’m okay with that 🙏🏻 #fruits #banana #orange #rambutan #lanzones #dalandan #fruit #fruitsbasket #fruitbowl #fruitsalad #fruitarian #yummy
Here’s your #weekend reminder to schedule “pau Here’s your #weekend reminder to schedule “pause” time today and tomorrow 🙏🏻 I was about to turn off my phone when @headspace sent this notification and it’s too good not to share.

So guilty of not taking time to pause more often than I should. But truly #grateful for #podcasts on @spotify because now there’s tons of great content to listen to that helps me relax 🙌🏻

I still have a lot of work to do and if I’m not gonna be careful, I know I would end up overwhelmed and stressed. This is why I’m conscious of taking breaks because it’s so easy to work for a straight four hours and then get to that burned out state 🤓

After so many weeks I also get to write in my journal again which I haven’t done in a while. I finally got myself to write everything that’s been worrying me and bothering me. ⛈

How about you? How often do you take time to pause and reflect? ✨

I’ve always appreciated being able to do what I I’ve always appreciated being able to do what I wanted to do and all the things I have in my life but today I found a new appreciation for everything. 🙏🏻 After 48 years I finally heard the sound of beach waves again 😅🤭😭 It was a nice break from the mundane routines of everyday life 😂 I love what I do and I’m truly #grateful I get to work on something I love but I also appreciate the mini breaks I get to enjoy every now and then 💛 

I also found a short poem that tickled my brain: “I want to know whose name first touches your thoughts in the morning?” - Schuyler Peck

Poetry fuels me. 🔥 Is it #friday yet? 😅

I guess I miss #traveling so much that it’s now I guess I miss #traveling so much that it’s now taking over my dreams too 🤣 A little #throwback to my last meal in #RomeItaly and ofcourse it’s gotta be #pizza 🍕😅

Never knew I could miss being in an airport yet here we are. 😅 Looking forward to the day when we can #travel freely again without these restrictions.

This was one of my most relaxed flights  despite being one of the longest.. From Rome to Paris to Hong Kong and finally to Manila. I’m pretty sure I was exhausted but was excited because I know someone was waiting for me at the airport. 😅 And in my husband’s words “he followed his heart and it led him to the airport” 🤣 And that was the last time I traveled with my maiden name 😂

Who else misses traveling as much as I do? 😭 Bali, Budapest, Scotland, Niseko, when will I see you? 😌

Another ‘yay’ when you #wearamask is.... savin Another ‘yay’ when you #wearamask is.... saving money from lip tints! 🤣 Entering month 8 of not buying one. 😁 I was this 💸close in placing an order online but my half full lip tint was screaming NO! 😝🤣

Can’t believe #september2020 is almost done 😝 I could ask “where did all my time go” but I know exactly where ALL of my time went 🤣 September, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you’ve brought, October called, said she’s bringing heaps of great things too! 🧜🏼‍♀️

What are you looking forward to this October? 😊

Sharing this reminder about #selfcare 💖 The pas Sharing this reminder about #selfcare 💖 The past few days have been crazy and I feel so overwhelmed with everything that I feel like I can’t get anything done. As soon as I tick one off on my to-do list, a couple of things would pop up and add more to it. 😌 Anyone relate to this? 😆

I’m pretty good with getting things done, but not being able to #travel or work in cafes for a while has seriously affected my #productivity 🥴 So if you’re currently #workingfromhome and you feel like your productivity has dwindled down, changing your workplace could do the trick.

A lot of people who #workfromhome today aren’t used to this kind of set up and could feel burned out or have a hard time separating work time and home life.

Today, be more #mindful and try to create a schedule that works for you. Don’t forget to add #selfcare activities because that’s one of the most important things 😊

I still have a huge chunk in my #todolist but I’m pumped to smash them all before the week ends 😆🥂

Listening to music can also help, at least for me. I love listening to #LoFi and chill tracks and my current favorites are Take Me by @miso.music (Thanks to @lalalalisa_m 😍) Windowpane by @matthaiostbw and Day 1 by @hellohonne 🎶
