Now that 2018 almost come to an end (seriously?), I’d better tell you more about my summer trip to the beautiful and quaint Luang Prabang (LP). We stayed at the Old Quarter area and spend most of our days chillin’ at the coffee shop or taking little strolls around the city. At night we’d go…
One thing that is close to my heart from Laos is their food. The mixture of French, Vietnamese, and Thai influence resulted in the fresh, astringent, and sometimes spicy taste of Lao dishes. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a few Southeast Asian countries (three to go!) and I’d dare say Laos has one…
When the husband learned about cooking class in Luang Prabang, he was determined to take one. There are a few restaurants offer cooking classes here (see Tripadvisor’s list here), but my heart went for the one by Sofitel Luang Prabang. Not only Sofitel is a renowned hotelier, but with our short stays, Sofitel offers cooking…
Three days after our second wedding anniversary, we looked at our bank account and decided to just book a return ticket to Laos for no reason. It was a now or never decision, so… in the most impulsive way possible, we got ourselves a return ticket from Jakarta to Lao PDR’s capital, Vientiane. It was…
‘I’m definitely more of an introvert now, but when I was younger I was the opposite. I was so incredibly loud and bubbly, to the point where no one could really contain my energy. I guess you realize as you get older time is so precious, whether it’s with your family, your friends or yourself.…
After almost three years of trial and error, I am finally ready to tell you three of my biggest skincare mistakes.
What I think about MINISO makeup brushes and beauty sponge, compared to Real Techniques brushes.
BLP Face Powder beserta beberapa produk BLP Beauty terbaru lainnya pertama kali diluncurkan pada acara JakartaXBeauty-nya Female Daily akhir April lalu. Aku beli bedak ini nitip teman ketika dia mampir ke BLP Beauty Space di Kuningan. Awalnya nggak tertarik untuk beli bedak ini karena kayaknya di rumah udah banyak bedak, sampai suatu pagi RCMA aku…
“Many people with combination skin just don’t think that a cleanser is where their money should be spent. … Their cleanser is kind of an afterthought,” explains Renée Rouleau, Hollywood’s favorite facialist. “But the proper cleanser can make or break your routine. You never want to start off your routine already putting your skin into an unhealthy…
Mungkin beberapa dari pembaca blog ini tau kalau dulu aku pernah keren, alias pernah jadi wartawan selama kurang lebih 3 tahun. Kenapa berhenti? Itu akan jadi cerita panjang di postingan lainnya. Yang mau aku bahas hari ini adalah, hal yang aku pelajari selama liputan yang aku rasa mungkin worth untuk dishare, karena masih pantas untuk…
Suatu sore yang cerah, aku iseng mampir ke toko Martha Tilaar di Gandaria City untuk beli serum, karena kok serum Korea lebih sering bikin break out daripada bikin bening. Eh terus hati ini tertambat pada botol-botol warna hijau cantik dari rangkaian Solusi Martha Tilaar. Berbekal iming-iming organik, akhirnya aku memutuskan membeli face serum dan face…
What is your favourite skincare item? One of mine would be lip balm. It’s one of the most convenient to be done and carried around with you. Especially given the never ending liquid lipstick trend, I’ve come noticed how important lip care is. Here are a few lip balms I regularly use in rotation and…
When I saw Colourpop came up with a traditional bullet lipstick, wrapped in a typical-millennial-packaging of shiny rose gold case called the Lux Lipstick… I knew it was time to rekindle my relationship with bullet lipsticks. Although by this point, I admire anyone’s loyalty to liquid lipstick because I am borderline sick of it. As…
Last week I arrived home and there was this beautiful little kitten outside at our porch. She was sweet, and she chirped like little monkey – how cute. We decided to feed this kitten and when we’re about to put down the food bowl, her brother came! A handsome ginger kitten! Whoa I couldn’t take…
It’s been quite a while since I write anything in this blog, first of all, sorry for the missing beauty posts – I have some new products I have tried and worth reviewing but just haven’t figured out the right time to do it yet at the new house. Right… on to the life’s update:…
