Beauty Tip Gone Wrong

April 7, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

This was originally posted on my other blog (which I don’t use anymore.) I still remember this incident like it was yesterday. HAH!!


Underarms and Lemon
May 1, 2007
You remember when people tell you that lemon (or kalamansi) can make your underarms whiter? yeah, they said that its very effective. And to be honest I’ve done that so many times (but the result? I dunno. looks the same to me.)
Yesterday was different though. I was already in the middle of my shower when I remembered that I got half a lemon sitting in my fridge. So I thought, why not?! It’s only half a lemon. Better put it to good use than let it spoil.
So, dripping and soap suds all over, I ran to the kitchen. Opened the fridge. Took the lemon. Went back to the bath. Turned on the shower. and then quickly rubbed the lemon on my armpits.
What I didn’t know was that the half lemon was covered with spilled achuete powder….
kamusta naman kili kili ko, mestiza. mamula mula.

* Achuete powder = Annatto powder

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
