Hi!

  Hey all! How is it going? I finally registered to one of Indonesia’s top unis for my doctorate degree plan, wish me luck! I still have one more options but it doesn’t start the registration session until early next year, so I will be waiting patiently about that. I have been reading and taking the test simulations with some books, and the tests will be next week, so I thought I will slow down for one day. I have done what I can and I deserve a little break >.<   It has been uneasy to switch your behaviour from working to studying hahaha. I mostly do my work inside, in a room, for concentration, but for the slowing down day, I’m just going to do a little bit of my freelance task, and a lot of Prime Video, I need some good outdoor set, also to get some sun because I have been spending most of my times in a room with an AC.   As per usual, I prepared myself in the morning with a little bit of make-up, just to keep my discipline in grooming myself, because as fun as l...

Started the week heavy. I heard unpleasant news from dear friends, about the you-know-what. I just hope things will be better soon. Right now we are trying our best to keep contact and send some fruits and meals, hoping they would get better soon. Meanwhile, please do keep ourselves healthy and safe, wearing double masks and wash hands, wash wash wash. And try to keep our mind happy, even if sometimes it is difficult. Today, I am trying to keep things as usual, getting ready, and do some activities inside the house. I am using this lip tint from local brand, Emina Cosmetics, my first one, to bring some colour on my face. It is a water lip tint with semi-matte finish, from 6 colours that available, I purchased the 01-Scarlet, which is the darkest colour of all (I purchased this several months ago).  The first thing I like about this lip tint, aside from curiousity because it is popular on the social media :p), is so easy to find. I got this from a mini mart at home! However, it is a...

  Disclaimer: this is my personal experience on Jun 24th 2021, there might be some updates in policies, etc I was afraid. Yes that’s what I felt about this whole vaccination at first. I was afraid of the side effects (from what I heard and read) I don’t know which vaccine was “the best”, and what would I do if I got that side effects, given I was alone at home most of the time. Then, all of my family members got vaccinated, so did some of my closest friends, and all were convincing that it’s gonna be okay.   My brother sent me a link, vaksinasi-corona.jakarta.go.id explaining that I could get vaccinated just by typing my ID card and it would direct me to a specific location in Jakarta - now everybody, not just Jakarta ID card holder can. I realised that this is for the better, and if I could contribute even with the smallest gesture, and boost my immunity for my own sake too, this would be it. Registration was easy, less than 10 minutes for me to fill all my personal informat...

How are you? The news about the Covid virus spread still going in the country, and I am feeling a little bit relieved that I spend my days fully at home now. However, boredom. Yes, I currently juggle with my academic journey, which has not began yet until end of year, but I am at the adapting phase. I will tell you about this later. But in a nut shell, I am fully at home now, not thinking about anything but staying healthy, creating quality times with my parents, sibling, relatives and friends, with zoom or a quick lunch at the least crowded space (I miss being outdoors, yes!) and washing my hands. Today is like any other day where I have to do a minimal errands, and I want to look nice, for myself :p so I check my make up pouch and found this SADA Velvet Passion Matte Lipstick. SADA is Indonesian local brand, owned by an Indonesian public figure, Cathy Sharon. I only have one item from this brand right now, but after I tried, I might buy other items. From what I read, SADA lipstick co...

I have a long and "heavy" lashes, that with a help of mascara, my eyes could look bigger and i feel beautiful :) I have tried lots of mascaras, most of the purchase reasons are the packaging is cute, and positive reviews. Currently I am using the Benefit Bad gal Bang Mascara, because of the unique (edgy) name, and it's has cool black, pink, and silver packaging, and I have seen lots of positive reviews about this one. The price, well it's pricey for me (sorry I lost the receipt, but it was above IDR 350k in Sephora PIM 2).  Black and pink, BANG! The mascara wand is slim and has short brush (I think it is called the slimpact brush), it is easy to apply onto the roots of my lashes. There are some other benefits but for me this is the most important.. hi hi It takes 3 layers for me reach the desirable result. If I am not patients though, it will smear a little. My tips would be to sit down (don't do it inside a moving car >.<), and between the layer, do take se...

This week I purchased new sheet masks for my routine, at least once in two-three days, to keep my skin healthy and supple. It's the Olay Skinfusion Masks. Of all masks type, my favourite is sheet mask, for it's practicality. The least favourite is the peel off kind >.< Well maybe I haven't tried ones that suitable for me. With deep sea algae extract I choose the one with sea algae extract because once I went to a spa, and get a sea algae mask, it was refreshing! With this sheet mask, they also have the same effect. I like that it has so much product, I can rub and spread the essence on my neck as well. The after effect, it made my skin so moist. I rinsed after, I always rinse after masking, I have this super oily skin that I'm afraid it could cause a break out the next morning (some do, even after water rinsing) After a week using this, I feel my face felt quite moisted and fresh. I would love to try the other - Olay Skinfusion Masks have three variant.  While usi...

How is everyone doing? I hope you guys are staying safe and healthy all the time.  One of the perks of "slowing down" on your activities (I am doing 90% of things at home recently, thanks to WFH), is that I have time, more than ever, to take care of things at home. Fashion edits being on of my favourite^^ In summary, I have lots of clothes, I live in a two floors house, and I have clothing storage in both floors. Some I keep because it was full of great memories when wearing them, some because I keep all the things that still in a good shape and colours, and try to wear them in dozens of different ways. This way I get creative, and also try to slow down on purchasing new items. For this post, is the one I bought last year. A top made from denim fabric, bought it at one of the factory outlet in Bandung (forgot which one), the label is M.n.t One of little numbers of denim clothing I owned, and loving!
