A small, intense flutter in your chest when something makes your heart race; a flush of the cheeks; your stomach flips. Kilig is that electric, bubbly, giddy rush of excitement, anticipation, and nervous joy that often happens in romantic moments, like when your crush texts you unexpectedly. This Tagolog word is used everywhere in the Philippines, but many people across the world are familiar with the feeling. @shelbeebelle explains, “If you wanted one word to describe the feeling of "love at first sight", the jitters you feel when you're getting ready for a first date with someone new, that split second before you kiss someone for the first time, that word would be ‘kilig.’ It's that feeling you get in your stomach, the butterflies frantically fluttering as if to let you know that your world is about to change forever.” 

I chose to highlight t4t romance with this slime, as so many trans people grow up not seeing themselves in love stories, and I wanted to create something bubbly, youthful, and sweet, with the sense of giddy electricity of someone seeing and loving you exactly as you are, for the first time.  

This slime is delectably light, airy, and crispy with the slight resistance of the gummy base. It comes with a generous amount of toppings in the colors of the trans flag (x’s and o’s, sprinkles, pastel blue and pink fishbowl bubbles, gems, hearts, and glitters), and the slime can also be layered to look just like the flag! Choose from your pick of flat-back trans bubble-heart charm or two pastel pink vintage heart charms. 

This fragrance blend is deliciously sweet! It opens with fizzy calamansi soda giving a sparkling citrus, effervescent rush, like butterflies in your stomach. Buko pandan (Filipino dessert) adds a creamy, green, comforting sweetness while sampaguita (jasmine) petals balance with a delicate floral lift – not perfumey. Ube halaya (sweet purple yam paste) gives the blend a rich cozyness. Sweet scent lovers who want something approachable but unique will enjoy this one.
