I'm Finally Getting Married!

Hi everyone! How are you? In a blink of an eye, we have passed 2017 and it's 2018 now :D I miss you guys! In this opportunity I'd like to say hello to all my readers (whether you're my Indonesian readers or International) and deeply thankful for all your supports until now :D HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Come to think of it, I started this blog on February 2012 and this blog will turns into 6 years old next month, wow!
I think I should host blogiversary giveaway, but let me collect the prizes first ^_^ What kind of giveaway that you'd like to join, guys? Do you prefer the winner(s) get picked randomly or by their effort (for examples: telling some stories or creating makeup look). Please let me know :D


Anyway, if you check my blog timestamp, you'd probably notice that in 2017; I wasn't really active in blogging, because I was in preparation for my wedding day ♥ Sorry if I was kinda neglected this blog >.< Hopefully you can understand guys!

Ahem, well... *clear my throat*

My Skin Story | Merubah Diri Jadi Lebih Baik

Haiii semua! Hari ini aku mau share tulisan yang sifatnya lebih personal, karena aku pengen membagikan kisah tentang kulitku. Yup, tulisan ini aku kasih judul "My Skin Story" karena memang aku notice banget perubahan kulitku selama 5 tahun belakangan ini ^^ Terus kenapa sub judulnya "Merubah Diri Jadi Lebih Baik"? Ya nanti kalian juga akan tau kok alasannya di bawah :D

Sebagian dari kalian mungkin tau, atau pernah baca tulisanku di blog / sosial media (aku agak lupa), kalo aku baru belajar makeup dan kecantikan itu pas kuliah. Believe or not, waktu itu aku baru belajar pake eyeliner, pensil alis dan teman-temannya pas aku kuliah semester 2-3 (tahun 2009). Telat banget ya? ^^;;
Ya kalo dibandingkan sama remaja jaman sekarang yang udah kenal makeup dan pake full makeup dari umur kurang dari 15 thn, aku termasuk yang super telat dah.

Apakah setelah belajar makeup aku juga jadi suka merawat kulit? No. Aku baru mulai tekun dan memperhatikan kesehatan kulitku sejak aku punya blog ini (tahun 2012). Aku yang dulu hampir ngga pernah pake sunscreen kalau keluar rumah (padahal gini-gini aku juga anak motor, men!). Kalo malem sebelum tidur skin care routine ku juga cuma bersihin muka pake cleansing foam aja, tanpa diapa-apain lagi setelahnya. Night cream? Serum? Eye cream? Apaan tuh? ^_^" Hahaha.

Begitulah. Hingga umur 22 tahun aku bener-bener merawat kulit alakadarnya banget. Dan sekarang aku bongkar-bongkar foto lama dan menemukan fotoku tahun 2012 awal -_- Kelihatan kusem dan dekil ya, coba bandingkan sama yang tahun 2016. Padahal sama-sama makeup minim dan di bawah natural lighting.

Btw, foto tahun 2012 itu sebelum aku pake behel. Kalo berminat kalian bisa baca kisah behelku di sini: Diary of My Braces


Seperti yang kalian lihat, memang sih foto Tahun 2016 itu aku masih ada jerawat kecil-kecil di dagu, tapi kalo warna kulit jelas kelihatan beda kan?
Kulitku memang udah cenderung putih dari lahir. Tapi karena aku ngga perhatian sama kulitku, kulitku di foto tahun 2012 kelihatan kusam dan agak menggelap karena sering berjemur tanpa sunscreen. Makanya jadi kayak gitu -_-"
Berbeda dengan foto tahun 2016, dimana aku udah merawat kulit dan warna kulitku pun perlahan menjadi semakin cerah. Emang apa aja sih yang aku lakuin agar kulitku ngga kusam lagi?

Apa #MemesonaItu? 5 Tips Menjadi Wanita Memesona

Hai semua! Hari ini saya mau nulis sesuatu yang temanya mungkin agak berat, dan agak beda dengan postingan saya selama ini. Tentu kita perlu dong punya mindset yang benar, lifestyle yang sehat, pribadi yang baik dan pikiran yang bijak. Tidak hanya melulu memperhatikan outer beauty, tapi juga memperhatikan inner beauty :)

Kali ini saya mau membahas tentang WANITA YANG MEMESONA. Dalam konteksnya adalah menjadi wanita yang tidak hanya memiliki penampilan menarik tetapi juga pribadi yang memesona.
Saat saya memikirkan tentang tema ini, jujur saya bingung mau nulis apa... Topiknya terasa sangat luas dan melebar. Karena itulah saya mau mengerucutkan pembahasannya dan membagi topik ini menjadi 2 kategori, yaitu Wanita Memesona di Mata Wanita dan Pria. Sebenarnya apa sih yang membedakan? Apa sih yang disebut sebagai pribadi wanita yang memesona itu?




Selama proses pengumpulan materi dan penulisan artikel ini, saya menemukan beberapa fakta-fakta baru mengenai wanita dan bagaimana sih tipe-tipe wanita yang memesona para pria? Tentu sebagai wanita kita juga penasaran dong.. Sebenarnya di mata para pria, kami itu dipandang seperti apa sih? Dan apa rahasianya menjadi wanita yang bisa memesona lawan jenis?

Demi menulis artikel ini, secara spesial saya juga melakukan interview singkat dengan 25 orang pria yang merupakan teman-teman saya dari berbagai usia dan berbagai kalangan. Kira-kira apa jawaban mereka ya? :)

Good Bye Rini...

This post is dedicated for my good friend, Rini.

Dunia beauty blogger Indonesia berduka atas kepulangan Rini ke Surga... Kemarin aku benar-benar kayak disamber geledek pas denger berita tentang Rini... :'((( Bagi teman-teman yang belum tau, Rini Cesillia dari www.rinicesillia.com baru saja meninggal kemarin pagi tanggal 13 Desember 2016.

Sampai kemarin malam aku masih dalam posisi denial terhadap kabar itu, karena aku ngga nyangka sekali bahwa Rini bisa dipanggil Tuhan begitu cepat. Dia adalah teman yang baik, cantik, sehat dan ceria... :'((( Dia adalah salah satu teman blogger pertamaku sejak aku ngeblog tahun 2012...

Ngga ada yang nyangka sama sekali bahwa kepergiannya ke Bali ternyata menjadi kisah hidup terakhirnya di dunia...
source: @rinicesillia
Untuk penyebab kematiannya adalah sengatan listrik.. Kecelakaan itu terjadi di kamar mandi waktu Rini sedang pakai shower dan dia kesetrum :'(((( Jalannya Tuhan emang ngga ada yang tau...
She got electrocuted while showering and she's gone... This is too devastating and we're all really sorry for her family and relatives...

Kami para teman-teman sesama blogger benar-benar kehilangan Rini :'(((

Blogging 101: Perlukah Blogger Menulis Event Report Setelah Menghadiri Suatu Event?

Halo semua! Sebelum bercerita lebih lanjut, di sini saya tidak bermaksud menyindir atau menghakimi siapa-siapa. Topik ini sudah lama ingin saya bahas, siapa tau bisa jadi referensi juga bagi blogger baru :) Mungkin post ini ngga relevan bagi sebagian besar pembaca blog ini (karena tidak semua pembaca blog ini adalah seorang blogger), tapi aku harap setidaknya post ini bisa menjadi insight atau latar terbuka bagi kita semua untuk bertukar pikiran ^_^




Perlukah seorang blogger untuk menulis event report setelah menghadiri suatu event? 
(tentu saja menuliskan di blog mereka masing-masing, bukan di surat pembaca yaa..)


Bagi kota-kota besar di Indonesia seperti Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Bali dst, keberadaan bloggers semakin diakui dan bloggers menerima berbagai macam event invitation. Bisa berupa event kecantikan, motherhood, lifestyle, gadget, gathering dst. Setelah bloggers menerima undangan dan datang ke acara, tentu selanjutnya akan muncul pertanyaan di diri para bloggers sebelum atau sesudah menghadiri event tersebut. 

"Perlu gak sih gua nulis event report di blog setelah ini?"
"Wajib kah saya menulis blog post tentang event ini?"

Jawabannya: bisa IYA, bisa TIDAK.

BYE 2015, HELLO 2016!!

Hello everyone~~~ Time flies really fast, doesn't it? Year 2015 has been a great and memorable year for me, as I encountered many ups and downs and I'm grateful for all He has done in my life :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!


I admit that I have many weaknesses, and one of them is.. I am a person who can be easily bored about anything, LOL. For example, I bought a planner on the edge of 2014; I started to fill in the planner diligently until August 2015 and I was too lazy to write on planner anymore XD That's why when adult coloring books becomes viral in Indonesia, I don't buy it because I'm afraid I can't even finish the half of the coloring book; moreover those coloring books are quite pricey IMO. *I wonder why this random thoughts came up suddenly, LOL*

BUT, don't worry that habit not apply on terms of blogging and making videos. I still have passion in sharing my thoughts through this blog and my Youtube channel. I just need some time to settle my schedule and take care my personal life, work life and blogger life :)

I have upcoming posts for this blog and I'm still working on them ^_^ Please wait patiently and I really appreciate your support! Your e-mails and supportive messages mean so much for me ♥

Love you all THIS MUCH!


Wish you a great year ahead guys! :D
God bless you!

3 Kebiasaan yang Nampaknya Sepele tapi Menghancurkan

Before today ends, I want to write something for Indonesia on my blog. Yes, today my country is celebrating Indonesian 70th Independence Day. Wow, we sound so old, don't we? But I believe there are many aspects that we have to improve. To achieve improvement of Indonesia, we can't only rely on government, we NEED to do our parts as well.

Let me say this.. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY INDONESIA!
Dirgahayu 70 th Indonesiaku :)

Ehem, I know I might lack of knowledge about Indonesia (I learned about Indonesian history in school, but I forgot the complicated details many years later :p), and because I don't master about Indonesian history and government bureaucracy, I won't talk much about those aspects. Instead, I will "pour off" my minds about Indonesia in other aspects.

Heart to Heart 1: Another Year for Me

Hello everyone! I decided to make one more category on my blog! :)
Yes it's "Heart to Heart" category. I know it may sounds strange, but I don't care! Hehe.
On this category, I'll try my best to express myself in English.. because I hardly write diary in English XD It's quite difficult to me to express myself in second language.. because, I'm too lazy to construct grammars and such. LOL.

Hopefully I can post this "Heart to Heart" section at least once a month! Aside of improving my English, I also wanna be closer to my readers ^.^ Kindly leave some suggestions about interesting topics please :D

Anyway, I just turned into 25 few days ago.. X"D
And I feel so old!
LOL at my weird nose. The lighting was so terrible! >__<

It feels so surreal for me.. I was a little girl few days ago and I am a woman now!
I'm grateful for my life and I can't thank more for God's love and blessings :')

BYE 2014, HELLO 2015

Hello there! How do you celebrate New Year Eve?
As usual, I always spend my NYE in my hometown, with no party or Instagram-able fancy things ^.^ Having simple dinner and spending quality time with family in front of TV while snacking and do some chit-chats. Sounds boring? That's what we always do every year and I enjoy it =D Then we watch and play with fireworks till get bored with those stuffs. LOL.

Anyway I also want to send my sympathy and deep condolences for some of passed-away passengers of Air Asia QZ8501 :(( None of my friends/acquaintances/relatives were in that crashed plane, but my heart was also sinking as I heard about that devastating news..
If you were relatives or friends of those passengers, please do not lose hope.. We still have more passengers that haven't found. Keep praying and hoping they're still stay safe and sound.. wherever they are.. And hopefully we will hear about them as soon as possible..

Have you re-check your 2014 resolutions? How many resolutions that you've finished successfully? :p As for me, I only finished my half! Time to make another resolutions list. LOL

Travel Story: Hello Again Malaysia! [Part 1]

It's been a while since my last visit to Malaysia. 
I remember that my last visit before this trip was in 2006 -__- *feel so out-of-date*
Finally I visited Malaysia again December last year, woo-hoo! ^.^

Though Malaysia is near to Indonesia, I haven't any chance to visit Malaysia (again) these past years XD
My trip was running on 10-14 December 2013 and my travel mates are my elder sister, and my sister's friends from Bandung and Jakarta ^.^

Are you ready to read my travel story?

Apa Motivasi Utama Menjadi Beauty Blogger?

Hello all :) Let's have a heart-to-heart chat!
Melihat fenomena yang terjadi beberapa bulan belakangan ini, membuat aku memikirkan berbagai macam hal mengenai blogging...
Pertama kali aku blogging itu bulan Februari 2012, saat itu jumlah Beauty Blogger di Indonesia sudah terbilang cukup banyak.. Saat itu beberapa blogger "pelopor" yang masih sangat teringat di memoriku adalah Stella, Ci Cominica, Ci Priscilla, Ci Phanie, Ci Nellin, Ce Shasha, Kak Mada Foe, Kak Carryn, Gabby, Lala, dan masih banyak lagi.. Tapi masih bisa dihitung di angka puluhan sih..



Awal Blogging?
Dulu aku menjadi tertarik dengan dunia make up gara-gara nonton tutorial di Youtube dan aku jadi banyak belajar dari situ (sekitar tahun 2010-2011). Kepengen juga bikin video di Youtube tapi gak pede :p Berawal dari hobi belanja makeup, aku jadi sering cari review di google, dan dari situlah aku "berkenalan" dengan para Beauty Blogger senior yang dari Indonesia juga.. Review dari mereka sangat membantuku.. mulai dari swatch, plus minus suatu produk dan rekomendasi mereka..
Kemudian aku pikir.. daripada aku udah nyoba-nyobain produk tapi ga berguna buat orang lain (hanya ngefek di aku), kenapa aku ngga coba aja bikin blog yang isinya memang banyak review produk yang udah pernah aku coba? Siapa tau dari pengalamanku, orang-orang bisa terbantu untuk memilih produk yang kira-kira sesuai dengan mereka? ^___^

Ahemm.. Gong Xi Fa Cai for everyone~! Sorry for the late post (-____-" )
Valentine's day has over yesterday and I just post about CNY (How late I am)

I hope you don't mind to read my super late >.<
I was in Jakarta at January 10th-12th for Chinese New Year Celebration.

The celebration was held in Ritz-Carlton Ballroom Hotel and My super-close family was the host of the event.

My family, uncles, aunties and cousins worn same outfits ^.^ Finally I have new cheongsam!
