Poetic Isolation

Due to the pandemic that we are currently experiencing right now, most of us found ourselves hustling within the comforts of our homes. For some, the situation is a fuss-free experience, while for others who are still adjusting to the new set-up, any source of happiness and comfort no matter how tiny means a lot.

I am one of those who are now currently working from home and while I love lounging within the familiar walls of our humble abode, there are still some things which make the set-up difficult. Not only do the barriers in communication made my work challenging, but it can also easily make me feel stressed. However, I'm also aware of the advantages when it comes to the situation. One of which is being able to wear something fun and comfortable other than a corporate get up or a company uniform. I know, most of us probably have that love-hate relationship with uniforms so wearing something cute while working might be the kind of breather we all need.

Aside from my pjs, one type of clothing that I am eyeing is a onesie. Now, I know most people would think that it's only for a costume party for babies, but nah. A lot of fashion stores are now bringing it to us. Plus, because of the pandemic, we can have them ordered online and delivered right at our doorstep.

Most onesies are made of comfy material such as cotton or fleece making it the new pajama of this generation. Aside from being a new style statement, it is also a convenient thing to wear and I must say sustainable since from two different kinds of clothing, with onesie, you get to wash one.

Now that the fall season has arrived in most countries in the world, it's also a stylish way to stay warm while you are on your sofa watching Netflix and chilling. Then, you're definitely living the life. How exactly is that? well, a onesie has a hood in it which you can cover your head from while looking all cute. Such type of clothing is also easy to keep as it is just a solitary item of clothing. Isn't it a great deal?

Let me know what you think of onesies in the comment section below.

Another added advantage to online shopping during this time of pandemic is that it lessen a person’s physical contact reducing the chances of being infected. It’s no wonder why e-commerce is booming these days. While it is great that one is still able to shop, we have to keep our finances at bay since this is still an unpredictable time that we are in. For that, shopping within your budget regardless if it’s for essentials or for something that would make you feel glamorous like sexy dresses cheap would be a great way to save some cash for the rainy days.

There exists a plethora of shops online which sell various budget-friendly clothing items including something that could be a bit challenging to shop like plussize dresses.

Another great thing about buying budget clothing is that you get to sell or donate those that you have grown into. Because of its affordability, you can definitely purchase wholesale plus size clothing and maybe turn it into your own business as well.

For individual options like if you need something to complete your wardrobe, here are some which has styles that I absolutely adore and can be worn in various events or in the grocery store if you want to go shop in style!

Light Blue Sleeveless with Blue Side Slit Dress

If you need something to wear to a formal occasion, this dress would be perfect. Be it weddings, graduation rites, or guestings of any kind, this dress would do due to its versatility.

Plussize Dress with Waist Ruffle

I love how this dress reminds of spring and cupcakes. A lot of curvy ladies are reluctant to wear bright-colored outfits but this has a cut that would give an illusion of the hourglass figure. The peplum ruffles does the trick!

Blue Maxi Dress with Flower Print

Maxi dresses are a favorite because it’s easy to style plus it can be sported to a day or night gathering. It can also be worn to somewhere formal or something casual.

Unique Tie-Dyed Two-Piece Outfit

This isn’t a dress but I adore how beautiful this looks like. Tie-dyed clothes are coming back to the spot light and who wouldn’t want something a little bit more extra like this two-piece ensemble rather than the usual tee? I would definitely wear something like this except that I got nowhere to go because of the ongoing quarantine in our city. Lol

I hope you like the dresses I’ve picked. Which one would you consider adding on your cart? Let me know in the comment section below.

Love lots,

Hey guys! First of all, I want to apologise for my absence and for not being able to visit your respective virtual spaces. It would be an understatement for me to say that the quarantine got the best of me. So much has which affected me in so many ways I couldn't even grasp.

I know some of these are too personal, and I don't mean to start a pity party today but I just want to put you in a proper rendezvous point of where this post is heading.

There was a time during the quarantine when things are just feeling blurry and crazy. Although there are days when it's all fair and sunny, some days I have pain that demands to be felt. And as negative as it may sound, it's the truth. It's my own truth and I would never want to lie to myself regardless of what others might think.

Last May, a news came that someone I know who resides in Japan decided to end her life. It was a shocking news and though we may not be the best of best friends, she is part of my life as I am part of hers as of a woven mat. And it is just overwhelming to know how a whole life could be gone in an instant. I feel so sorry about her. The only thing that I could hope for now is for her soul to be in peace wherever it may be.

It just hit me a lot since I almost lose a significant someone in a failed suicide attempt back when I was a teenager, but let's not talk about it. I consider the case closed. I can't seem to find the proper word for the pain that I have felt especially knowing that there are others who lose their family from it. I really hope it doesn't happen to anyone else.

It was also during this quarantine when my anxiety level got so high and I started having skin allergies where I would scratch my skin and left it with some wounds. I don't know why it happened since these days it is also impossible to find a doctor knowing that there is an ongoing pandemic and our city is still in quarantine. It's been almost five months since we are in quarantine and just like anybody else, I am not used to this kind of situation. I'm also not able to work since schools were shutdown and it's also impossible to find a new work which doesn't include physical contact. Basically speaking, I am often in my bedroom. I feel like I was just sleeping most of the time for the month of June. I am coping by doing something creative but there are just times when I couldn't force myself to pick a paint brush or sharpen my piano skill (a new skill that I am able to learn during the quarantine btw).

I feel better this month but some things happened which are out of my control. Thankfully, I was offered a part time position for a work that I could manage at home. Our family also managed to celebrate 3 birthdays together. Such things make me feel blessed despite the isolation I felt. This month though, Facebook tagged my blog as a spam for no apparent reasons. I have been blogging for 8 years and have been sharing my posts in my account. Not that I share them daily, only when I feel like sharing a post. I also don't have a page of my own so I am clueless as to why my page is regarded as spam. As you may have seen, I never post any hate speech or nudity or some kind in this space. When it comes to affiliate links, I have double checked them with various (by that I mean a lot) of debugger or spam checkers including Google's which resulted positively which means that my blog is clean. I felt so bad about what happened because I have local clients in Facebook which asks me to share my works in the site. Now that I can no longer do it as much as I want to, I'm thinking of building another space.

This place felt like my own child. I put so much love into this place regardless if my contents are not strong or popular. I don't want any of those. With what happened, I am beginning to accept such limitations. I love blogging and sharing my mind to the world. Though sad that my sharing option is now limited, I'm still happy that this is still here. I'm accepting what happened because I know that no matter how sad it made me feel, my sadness will not do anything and won't help me move and become a better blogger or person. It's one thing that I've learnt although this quarantine - to let go of things that will not help me in any positive way in the future. So may see less of me in this space, but I'll definitely create a new one. Something way better and where flowers always bloom.

So long.

love lots,
Tin

Because of our tropical climate, we can enjoy perpetual summer here in the Philippines. Though sometimes, it is cut short by a heavy rain, I am proud to say that most Filipinos are resilient towards any types of weather (literally and figuratively). Which is why rain or shine, it's not surprising to find people enjoying the beautiful beaches in our country.

I am not a beach babe. I love the beach, but I'm not crazy about swimming or sunbathing. Most of the time I spend my day on the beach taking photos and just enjoying the view. Nevertheless, I would love to hit the beach before this year ends. Yes, if you haven't noticed yet, 2016 will end soon. Oh wait, it already ended the moment Trump won. lelz jk no offense to his supporters

Okay, back to the main point here, we all know that one thing that we should pack is our swimwears. It's not mandatory, but it pays to wear proper beach attire while you are in the beach right? As I am planning to go to the beach soon, I've looked for some key details regarding swimwears. I've found a good variety at StyleWe.com, an online fashion store that sells different kinds of clothing. During my search, I have also found out 3 must-have swimwears that can save us ladies from an uncomfortable and awkward dressing room situation.

High-Waist Wonders

High-waisted swimwears are great if you are not very comfortable about showing your tummy or your navel. The best thing about high-waisted bikinis? they flatter every body type! It's also good if your weight is mostly throughout your tummy area as it tightens it while defining your waistline. It's kinda like the LBD version of bikinis!

Terrific Tankinis

Wanna break away from your cover ups? Tankinis are perfect for you! It's also best if you are a sporty girl who loves to play beach games like volleyball. It's for the girls who loves to be sexy without showing so much skin. From spandex to chiffons, there are a number of cloth that makes up different tankinis. You'll never run out of choice to look terrific in it!

One-Piece Perfection

Last, but not the least are one-piece bikinis. Who wouldn't love such bikinis? It comes in so many cuts and patterns that will work with any body type depending also on the part that you would like to emphasize. For instance, lovely petite girls may choose one-piece swimwears with high-cut bikini areas to give them an appearance of longer legs. Ladies who love to highlight their curves may choose those that have curvy cuts on the either side. The best thing about one-piece swimwears? You only have to pick one piece of clothing to look gorgeous!

To avail their discounts and noteworthy updates, you may check their Facebook account. Fashion tips and styling can also be seen on their blog. Who knows they might feature your gorgeous look as well, right?

Which swimwear would you like to sport? I do hope you'll find this post useful especially if you are hitting the beach real soon. Enjoy life and sail your worries away!

love lots,

Tin
