Lynnie 's journey
Many girls who first come to the UK or the US with their western partners lack confidence. They are shy to mix with foreigners and prefer to stay with their own group of Philippino friends. The reasons for their feeling will often go back to their own upbringing. Often in a large family where money was probably scarce, they hardly ever saw a foreigner. Perhaps when they grew up and went abroad to work to support their family and, of course, met many more people from different countries then. This would help to boost their confidence, or perhaps she had a foreigner boyfriend over the internet. As she spent more time online with her friend, her English would improve and this would boost her confidence. Neither of these two things will prepare her for the upheaval she will face if she marries her boyfriend and moves to live with him in his country. Hopefully he will be kind and understanding while she learns to adjust and cope with all the new surroundings. Wherever she goes, she will also meet other Philippinos – there are groups of girls living and working all over the world and they will welcome you into their group. As the years go by she will grow in confidence, learn to cope with any situation and be able to deal with anyone – from any country – especially as she becomes fluent in her new language. My advice is to support her emotionally, while she is trying to adapt to new things in her new Country, and help with what she needs, like talking her family from Philippines and helping her to videochat with them. I have been there too. If she has children, this will also give a great boost to her confidence – she will have to interact with schools and other mothers. Some girls adapt more quickly than others, but sooner than she thinks, she will have the confidence to mix with everyone, she will learn to drive, and bring up her children – and she’ll still look after her family back in the Philippines – that is our tradition.

Lavender fragrance and lavender colour glitters bring some eco-friendly sparkle to your candle and wax melt designs with Bio-Glitter. Our Lavender Bio-Glitter is perfect for sprinkling on the surface of wax melts transparent elegant glass. I made it with positivity. Lighting a candle and breathing deeply for 4 to 5 seconds is a simple ritual that’s helped me in many areas of my life causing me to be more mindful and take the time to press pause (It's sometimes hard being a busy mum!). I hope that by combining the two you get as much joy, comfort, motivation and good vibes as I get making them.
