What 2017 has taught me

I can't believe it is November already, time flies so fast. 2017 has been one of the happiest, the hardest and the best year to me. There are probably a lot of things that i learned, and i feel like 2017 is a transitional year, because i feel some (good & bad) changes in me and my life.



So, here's what i learned in 2017:

1, HEALTH IS EVERYTHING
There was a day in 2017 where i got stressed because i just realized there is something wrong with my body. I got panic and cried. Believe me it was the most uncomfortable feeling in the world, when you notice something strange in your body and at the same time, you were so afraid to meet doctor, just because you were afraid to face the fact. 
But finally i visited the doctor, my body was shaking and i was so afraid. But thank you God, i got the good result, and everything is fine. Maybe this will a reminder for myself, to maintaining more what i eat, to workout more often, and to always take care good of it. 

2. Negative Mind Will Never Give You a Positive Life
In 2016, i was tend to be a pessimistic person, who has negative mindset and never really excited for whatever i'm done. But in 2017, i have new job and new environment which has bring a new excitement in my life. I remember back in the days in 2016, i just waiting to feel better without did anything, and in this year i finally realized that 'if you wanna live better, you have to think better'.



3. Procrastination is Tempting But Also Kills Your Life
This has been my bad habit, and i think it getting serious. 

4. Social Media is Exhausting, and We Should Take a Break From It
Have you ever realized that we spend so much time scrolling into someone's else life through instagram and feel anxious everytime we post new photo just because we scare is it the kind of photo everyone will love or not. After all the anxious nights, i proudly say that i have done the instagram detox for 2 weeks, and it feels sooo relieving, i didn't deactiveted my account, just installed it from my phone and realized there's so much things we can do instead of just staring at phone.

5. No Matter How Busy Your life is, Family Come First
Being and having adult life with so much things to do, sometimes makes me only focus with my plans and routines, sometimes we forget that when we growing up, our parents is getting old too. Every night i always say their name in my pray, hoping they will always in health condition and happy.

6. Falling in love with soul with People who Worth Melting for.
I think i had so many dating mistakes (and lesson) in 2017. After break up (with my 5 years relationship) i became someone who tend to disbelieve of love and got myself hard to falling in love to someone. So 2017 has been a rollercoaster to me. 
From chased the wrong one, idolizing someone who i never met, got close to guy from gym, the super hot rich guys that continuously broken my heart, playing hard to get, being too passive, being in 'almost relationship' several times, etc. 
Until i realized, after all the mess, i recognized someone who always there for me. Do you realize that (maybe) soulmates don’t always need to be someone who romantically you involved with. Maybe sometimes, your soulmate is your most trusted friend, that one person who knows you completely and without judgment. Your soulmate is your best friend who can complete your sentences and know what you’re feeling without you even saying anything.

7. Run to Clearing Your Mind
This year, i have new hobby to enjoying life; running. One of my friend invited me to join run club, although i'm not really good yet at it, but i found myself enjoying much. I looove the feeling after workout, how the sweat can give you positive mind and endorphines (hormones that make a person feel happy). Sometimes i run on sunday morning and do yoga.



8. You are What You Think, Fake it Until You Make it
It's okay to imitating confidence and set optimistic mindset until you get the highest point of things you want. I remembered back in the days in 2016 when i feel empty and didn't know what kind of person i wanted to be. So i got my turning point, i tried and took direction to the life path i always wanted.

9. Consistency is Key of Everything
I realized to achieve some high point in life, we have to be consistent. Well, noted to self. 


Well, time indeed flies so fast, and its funny when we looked back, everything is different. There are so much things that can happen in one year. Good or bad, happy or sad, depends to how we react to it. For me, in 2017 i learned so many life lesson and in 2018 i have to feed myself more, feeding my soul with more good books, music, amazing people with new perspectives and new places. Because why not..

MY BRUSHES CLEANING ROUTINE

Hi guys, i have been using brush as my makeup applicator lately, instead of beauty blender etc, just because it takes faster to applied. My job required me to wear makeup everyday, so these brushes has become my bestfriend.
I know, i know, it is sooooo lazy to clean it everyday (but we need to!).

I have been gone through this laziness process by using natural product, such as olove oil, to regular handsoap to clean my brushes. But, lately i found faster method and amazing result by using this product.

Nivea Makeup Clear Oil Control 2in1

This product is made for remove makeup on face, but it is totally works on brushes as well!

It only need one step, and voila! It remove ALL the dirt and makeup residue on your lovely brushes. I got mine in mud series.

PS: Nivea Makeup Clear Oil Control 2in1, i think its not only 2in1, but 3in1. This product can used as makeup remover, makeup brushes cleanser, and since it contains mud, you can use it as mask too! Worth to buy!

What It's like to living your passion



Beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya berkesempatan magang di majalah Cosmopolitan Indonesia. Pas tau dengar kabar kalau saya keterima magang selama 3 bulan? rasanya senang banget! IT FEELS GREAT! bukan tanpa alasan, kerja di majalah adalah mimpi saya sejak dulu. Sejak SMP saya sudah suka baca dan koleksi majalah, waktu itu bacaan saya masih majalah Gadis, masuk SMA majalah yang cocok buat saya waktu itu, kalo enggak Girlfriend atau Gogirl!. Masuk kuliah intensitas beli majalah sudah enggak sesering waktu sekolah, karena mungkin informasi sudah dimana-mana dan saya lebih sering baca-baca portal media untuk perempuan, misalnya fimela.com.

So, back in topic, saya jadi anak magang untuk bagian beauty di Cosmopolitan. Karena pada saat interview, saya ditanya apa kesukaan saya, saya jawab beauty stuff. Karena mungkin pada saat itu saya sedang suka-sukanya nonton beauty guru di Youtube. Jadi deh saya berperan sebagai kontributor beauty, membantu tiga staff beauty di Cosmopolitan.

So what it's like to living in your passion? Yes, it's feels like heaven. Menulis, mengerjakan photoshoot, mencari referensi trend terbaru, menghadiri undangan dan bertemu orang-orang terkenal, itu semua menjadi rutinitas saya dikala magang. It's like dream come true, agak berlebihan memang, namun tidak buat saya yang sejak kecil bercita-cita kerja di majalah, hihi. Jika berbicara tentang menghidupi impian masa kecil, hampir semua impian saya terwujud saat itu. Waktu kecil otak saya terbius oleh majalah Dewi punya ibu saya, bahwa hanya orang-orang hebat yang bisa duduk di frontrow acara fashion show (dan saya ingin!), waktu kecil saya ingin sekali nama saya ada dibagian kru majalah nasional, dan saya selalu memerhatikan detail lembaran fashion spread berharap dapat menjadi bagian didalam sebuah karya kreatif tersebut, dan percaya atau tidak, semuanya terwujud!Entah bagaimana, saat ini satu persatu impian masa masa kecil, muali dari impian sepele sampai impian besar terwujud.

Tapi, kerja di media bukan serta-merta tentang bersenang-senang. Ada saatnya deadline menumpuk, kesalahan penulisan, dan masalah-masalah lainnya datang. Kerja di media mencakup tanggung-jawab besar. Tapi apa pun itu, selama hidup dalam passion, buat saya menyenangkan. hihi

Berikut ini foto-foto saya ketika magang sewaktu gedung Cosmo masih di Thamrin, fyi sekarang Cosmo sudah pindah ke TB Simatupang.

What It's Like To Be In a Long Distance Relationship

So, i have been in long distance relationship for two months now. My boyfriend and i have been together for about 5 years. The decision to reach our dreams and career after graduation, that what's made us living in different town.
We have been together since high school, we know each other too much, we always spend time together, we always celebrate birthday together, he always there whether in happy or hard time, he know how to make me smile again after hurricane.
Being patient is probably the number one rule in LDR, knowing that our relationship is worth it, is something that keeps me going. Being patient because i see it in a bigger picture.
Maybe there always hard time and bad day and loneliness, and all we need is hug.

When you are in LDR, it forces you to be independent. But, honestly i have no struggle to be independent, so it's not really hard for me. I am the kind of girl who usually have my stuff done by myself, i can traveling alone, i can do all by myself. Because knowing you don't dependent with others is the best feeling. But the hardest time for me right know, is knowing that he can't really there beside you, because we were usually have quality time together, we can talk about everything for hours, i can always tell him everything, but now it just feels different when we talk through social media or gadget. Knowing he's busy sometimes make me happy, because he's working for the future, but sometimes all we need is ears to listen and shoulders to lean on.

When you are in LDR, you start to have love-hate relationship with the airport. Seeing him on the other side when you are landing, is probably the best feeling in the world. When we finally catching up, we just apreciate every moment together because it's something that we patiently waiting for, even for just little thing like stuck in traffic or every minute we count until next departure.

We didn't plan to be in long distance relationship, but love finds us unexpected places<3

20 years old people feel about relationship

I just turned 20 years old about five months ago. So, i guess this is what people said about early 20s life exactly. I think i already live the adult's life. Everything in adult's life feel so differently compare to my high school life. Especially in relationship, i mean the real relationship between you and people around you. 

I don't know about you guys, but the way i treat people now is so different than when i was in high school. I started to feel that the way you choose friends, the way to treat them, and the way they treat you back is just.. so different. My life now is not as easy as when i was high school. 

Relationship feel so complicated. Maybe you can become bestfriend with this girl, but then couple months you two become stranger. But its really doesnt matter, because you meet another close friend. Well, i started feel this when i become freshmen in college. I just thinking, why we cannot make friends just as easy as we were in school. 

Everything seems so complicated. Well, i know that people change. People just cannot stay the same as we grow up. But maybe people dont change, their priority does. 

I tell you, adult people have their own ambition, they have they own goal and their own thing. These what makes "grow up" doesn't feel as good as you thought before :) I hope i can't pass "this" phase well.

Btw, Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. This is my very first post. I hope you enjoyed it, and lets be friends here because i will back soon with another post about life, love, and even make-up and healthy tips. thank you so much for reading <3

xoxo,
