Evolution

Oh hello! I’ve missed this space, even if it’s taken me months to find the time to sit and write again. Time has been a scarce resource, and while I have tried to be better at managing my time, I’ve underestimated the time I’ve needed to spend in the kitchen.

If you are unaware, I presently run a commercial kitchen making treats for pets (dogs, mainly). Not ever having operated a commercial kitchen before, it has been a steep learning curve, especially once we took the steps to take ourselves out of the home kitchen, and into a commercial space. That said, it has been very rewarding, and I would not have it any other way at this point in time! 🙂

What the long hours and late nights at work has meant is that I have had far less time to spend on an extensive skincare routine; and if I’m to be honest, it hasn’t been all that bad! In fact, it has taught me a few things about excesses.

The inevitable

I’ve been struggling with this, but it feels like the inevitable has happened.

I no longer have the time to maintain MWS 🙁

4000 and more

I sat down and opened up my MWS dashboard for the first time in many months, and the first thing I noticed was – “Oh hello! I’ve published 3999 posts!”

That’s 3999 posts written over 17 years – That’s an average of 1 post written every other day.

This one makes the 4000th, and I couldn’t ‘waste’ it on another product review 😀

16 going on 17

A funny and interesting thing happened to me very recently.

I was with my pup, waiting by the side of the road, when a total stranger came up to say Hi. I was a little cautious, as my pup is easily excitable, and I didn’t want him jumping on her. Much to my surprise, she wasn’t there to say Hi to the pup (most do, so I was expecting them to LOL!) but to me!

She said she had been reading my blog for the longest time, and wanted to take the opportunity to say Hi. It was a bit of a whirlwind meeting, and then she was gone, and I was left with my pup, feeling a little bemused, but brimming with gratitude. I didn’t even get her name, because I was shellshocked haha! 😀

Then a couple of weekends ago, I was in Singapore, at the famed Newton Circus food court, stuffing my face with grilled chicken wings (it’s one of my fave things to eat in Singapore, oddly enough), when I received an Instagram DM just as I was leaving, to ask if I had been there. It must have been a long shot, because no one knew I was down in Singapore, but it was me and she said she ought to have come and said Hi.

Both these incidences left me pondering on the impact we leave on people’s lives, even those we think we’d never meet or have never met.

It then struck me just how long I’d been blogging for – 17 years this past 9 March! 😯
