The Good and The Forbidden

The Wedding Nails 2.0

July 26, 2018

Well, whaddya know, another wedding-related post. I was going to post this sooner but the old tale was I got caught by so many different excuses :p

Anyway, we were very lucky that we get to hold another wedding reception which was 3 weeks after the D-Day. This time, the guests are our friends! I suppose, call me for being extra. But I did want my nails to look different. Plus, the previous nails were getting long and I wasn’t comfortable with the length.

This was what I decided on.

My Wedding Shoes – Something Blue

June 7, 2018

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho

It is truly one of the truest quotes I live by. I believe we attract what our minds aspire to. As simple as, when we’re happy, good things come by. When we’re being negative, then bad things are everything that we see. It’s about seeing things in a different perspective, with a brighter note.

I wanted to try this post as a reminder for myself to never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

Yes, this post is also about my wedding shoes. And how I came to acquire them.

Wedding Souvenir – Handmade Soap Bars

January 11, 2018

Ever since from the beginning, I’ve wanted to make the wedding souvenirs on our own. With a fairly small the number of guests, I thought it’s still manageable. I wanted something that is personalized and ultimately, usable and functional. Of course, it needed to be able to be DIY-ed.

There were quite a few options. I thought about making scented candles with dried flowers. Or having a small cactus plant for each of the guests. But it ended up being a no-go because some of our guests will be flying from out of town. We didn’t want the souvenir to be a hassle for them to carry around, with the risk of breaking and all that.

So, something that is not fragile, durable enough, and doesn’t take up space. Handmade soap bars.

Watercolor Foliage Wedding Invitation

December 6, 2017

There were a few things in the wedding that we got help from and eventually enabled us to save the budget. These came from none other than our own family members. The wedding invitation was the very first that we worked on with our cousin, Marini. She was actually the one who offered to design the invitation before we even get to her!

My fiancé (now-husband) let me handled the idea and brainstorming process. We both kind of have the same taste and preferences so we trust each other. That way, we can split our duties to share the workload of the wedding prep.

So, shall we?

Our wedding invitation.

Our Wedding Rings

November 24, 2017

On, 5 November 2017, we are married in front of God with the Sacrament of Matrimony in a Catholic Church. After the heartfelt, sacred vow exchange, came the time to put on the rings. The wedding rings we put on symbolize our love and fidelity to each other.

To us, it’s more than that. Our wedding rings have a sweet background story that I’d like to keep as a memoir in this blog. Preserving the sentiments. And that maybe we can share it with our children (and grandchildren) in the future.

The Wedding Nails

November 22, 2017

The last time I wrote anything nail-related was in 2015. Here it is, 2 years later, I’m married to the love of my life *aww* This post will mark the first of the wedding series, where I’ll share few bits of pieces of our pre and wedding details.

Alright, wedding nails. I made it a decision early that I have to use gel polish. I didn’t want to fuss about my nails, looking at them, searching and wondering whether they’d chipped or not. As much as I dislike the removals and how they make my thin nails even thinner afterward, I have to make an exception. Gel polish is practically foolproof and that’s what I need.

So, here are the nails I wear happily on my big day.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Double Cleanse at night, a must!
Sunscreen at daytime, always – after moisturizer.

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

His & hers POV. His & hers POV.
It’s a beautiful sunny day, celebrating the laun It’s a beautiful sunny day, celebrating the launch of @jomalonelondon’s Blossoms Collection 2022, with Sardinian Summer as theme, right at the beachside 🧡 Warm weather, wind blowing swiftly and continuously, paired with greens, sparkling sand, clear blue sky and jeweled-colored sea. It’s picturesque.

For this collection, there are three, two new fragrances and one existing. They are Sea Daffodil, Bitter Mandarin and Silk Blossom. The notes are light, airy and flowing. Usually summer scents can be a little too strong on the citrus, tangy-acidic side, but these are put together that don’t make me feel heady.

I’m loving Sea Daffodil and it’s my number one pick from the collection. A mixture of Pink Pepper, Mandarin Orange as starters, Sea Daffodil and Ylang-Ylang as the heart, Sandalwood, Madagascar Vanilla and Vetiver to ground everything. Result? A smile-inducing scent. There’s this hint of sweet & creaminess that pulled me in right away. I close my eyes and I get the reference of that warm summer with the soft notes.

I’ll head down to the boutique soon to sniff Bitter Mandarin and Silk Blossom again. I have a feeling the latter might come home with me. It layers so effortlessly with Sea Daffodil and I can imagine it singing together with other scents too ♥️

Slide until the end 👀 I’ve always said the f Slide until the end 👀

I’ve always said the foundation of a healthy skin is hydration 💦 Gak perlu jauh2 dulu, fokus di hidrasi aja udah bisa bikin perubahan yg berarti. Basic skincare itu gak boleh dianggep remeh 👌🏼
 
Meet @blpskin Tremella Daily Hydrating Series! Dari namanya aja udah kebayang, Tremella - Daily - Hydrating. Tremella Fuciformis, atau yg kita kenal sebagai jamur kuping putih/snow fungus (sering kita makan di Peach Gum dessert) - ini jadi hero ingredient di produk2nya. As an alternative to Hyaluronic Acid, dia bisa menahan air 500x dari beratnya sendiri. Molekulnya juga lebih kecil dari lebih mudah diserap. Dia juga bisa kasi semacam lapisan film untuk membantu jaga skin barrier dan menahan kelembapan itu sendiri.
 
“Daily” di sini berarti these products are for everyday use! Straight-forward sekali! Cleanser - Toner - Serum - Moisturizer dengan fokus yang teramat jelas, hydration. Selain Tremella, tiap produk juga ada tambahan ingredient berbeda dengan tujuan masing2. Gak susah buat dimengerti, gak perlu pusing boleh mix ina-inu, gak ribet, tinggal pake aja 😄
 
Dari awal aku langsung suka sama cleanser-nya. Tipikal gentle cleanser yang aku approve, gak bikin ketarik. Toner-nya dengan tekstur air yang “gendut”, gak gampang hilang/menguap di kulit, langsung bikin lebih lembap. Serumnya sendiri bisa buat hydration booster atau di layer dengan serum lain with other targeted focus.
 
Untuk umurku sekarang yang udah mid 30s dan kondisi kulit yg semakin dehidrasi dan kering, the gel (cream) isn’t enough for my skin. I think the texture itself is great dan cocok buat humid weather. Pak D lagi suka pake ini sekarang. Kalo aku malah suka layer another heavier product on top biar lembapnya makin pol.
 
Menurutku @blpskin #TremellaDailyHydratingSeries ini bisa jadi pegangan buat yang baru mulai pake skincare; pre-teen, teenagers, early 20s. Yang belum ada kebutuhan khusus, pengennya maintain skin hydration and of course building the good habit 👌🏼
