DIY Project. Manage all stuff on and in your dresser and it's drawer(Mengatur segala sesuatu yang ada di meja rias dan lacinya)

Biasanya DIY project akan berformatkan video step by step pembuatan, tapi kali ini yang aku buat berbeda. kenapa? karena sumber daya yang aku punya terbatas dan hal ini aku lakukan karena iseng plus ada banyak tambahan barang baru setelah aku jadi pengangguran (jadi sering belanja, sebelumnya hampir tidak punya waktu).

Project 1 - Lipstick Case

sebelumnya, apakah lipstik kalian tergeletak seperti ini?

bukankah seperti ini lebih baik?

Alat dan bahan:

1. Cangkir/gelas yang tidak terpakai dan dalam hal ini aku punya cangkir gratisan yang berlabel asuransi kendaraan

2. Kain flannel atau pelapis apapun yang tidak mudah robek

3. Alat tulis untuk membuat pola

4. Adhesive spray (lem semprot). bisa ditemukan di toko alat tulis, tempat fotokopian besar, toko buku. yang terjangkau mereknya 3M hehehehe

Cara membuat:

sederhana saja, letakan cangkir ditengah kain, coba membungkus keseluruhan cangkir dengan kain tersebut dan gunting. Buat lingkaran yang berdiameter sama dengan lingkar dalam cangkir dengan kain yang sama. semprotkan adhesive spray ke kain, tempel dengan baik. kurang lebih jadinya seperti ini.

Project 2 - facial cotton box

kapas itu penting dan harus ada di meja rias perempuan, tapi bentuknya begini?

hmm? ini masih bagus bentuknya karena masih penuh, kalau sudah mau habis pasti sudah tidak berbentuk lagi. apa yang aku lakukan adalah memanfaatkan kotak bekas dari pembelian jam AC (box luarnya) aku bungkus dengan kertas kado, tralaaa~ jadi jauh lebih rapi.

bahkan bisa dibuka tutup. kan buat diusap ke wajah, jadi harus higenis. tindakan mencegah jerawat.

Project 3 - Space-friendly drawer (Laci yang efisien)

Kebetulan aku tidak punya foto laci meja rias aku sebelum project ini dilakukan. berikut tampak laci keseluruhan setelah project

Ada beberapa bagian penting dari laci ini yang harus kita kupas satu-satu berikut tipsnya

1. Permukaan warna-warni

kita bisa saja langsung mengecat bagian dalam laci dengan warna yang kita suka, tapi aku disini mengunakan kain taplak meja yang biasanya digunakan di warung pinggir jalan (tidak tahu nama kainnya). bahan ini anti air, mudah dibersihkan dan juga lebih murah dibandingkan membeli cat baru. aku membeli bahan ini di ACE Hardware Mall Artha Gading. kurang lebih bahannya seperti ini

semua bagian dalam laci aku tutupi dengan bahan ini. lagi-lagi aku menggunakan adhesive spray untuk melekatkan bahan ini ke lacinya. adhesive spray benar-benar memudahkan perkerjaan aku.

2. Divider - pemisah

Supaya laci ini bisa rapi dan space friendly, kita membutuhkan divider agar barang-barang yang ada di dalamnya tidak berantakan dan mudah untuk ditemukan. penisah itu aku buat dari plastik tebal ini

aku ukur panjang dan lebar laci dengan sangat baik (tips: lebihkan sedikit sekitar 2mm, karena kalau terlalu pas bisa jadi terlalu longgar dan malah tidak bisa digunakan sebagai pemisah sama sekali. pemisah ini tidak dibuat permanen di lacinya, jadi bisa dipindah-pindahkan tergantung kebutuhan. kalau misalnya terlalu lebar bisa dipotong lagi sedikit demi sedikit atau bisa juga di kikir. kemudian tiap pemisahnya jagan lupa untuk dibungkus dengan bahan yang sama dengan permukaan dalam laci ya, mengunakan adhesive spray juga.

Hasilnya:

3. Tempat aksesoris
Punya banyak aksesoris? mulai dari kalung, gelang, sampai headband. tapi tidak punya cukup tempat untuk menyimpannya? we're on the same boat girl.

Pertama kita butuh beberapa kotak bekas yang cukup tebal. kebetulan aku punya kotak bekas cindramata dan kotak bekas diary lama. bahannya cuma kertas kado polos, adhesive spray, gunting, alat tulis dan kain flannel

kotak pertama aku mengunakan kedua sisinya. sisi pertama untuk tingkat pertama yang menyimpan bando, headband dan anting. keseluruhan bagian dalam dari kotak aku lapisi dengan kertas kado, bagian belakang sengaja aku biarkan, toh tidak akan terlihat juga.
Tingkat pertama:

tips untuk bando kain, supaya lebih rapi bisa kita ikat dengan karet rambut bekas yang sudah melar seperti ini:

kanapa harus yang sudah melar atau terpakai? supaya bentuk headbandnya tidak berubah karena terlalu kencang diikat.

bagian tutup kotak (tingkat 2). fungsinya untuk menyimpan kalung (aksesoris favorit) agar lebih mudah untuk dicari. karena untuk menyimpan kalung yang rata-rata dari logam, bagian dasar dari tingkat 2 ini aku lapisi dengan kain flannel dengan harapan kain itu bisa menyerap keringat ketika kalung selesai digunakan dan diletakan kembali (mencegah karat)

kalau di rekap kurang lebih seperti ini agar tidak binggung dengan maksud tingkat 1 dan 2

1. tingkat pertama tempat bandana, anting, dll
2. tutup kotak yang dibalik memberikan ruang tambahan diletakan diatas tingkat pertama
3.tutup kotak (tingkat kedua) dengan kalung.

tips untuk kalung yang panjang. biasanya kalung yang panjang pasti digantung, itu berarti tempat yang terpisah. aku tidak begitu senang aksesoris yang aku punya dipisahkan karena hal tersebut mempersulit pemilihan aksesoris yang tepat untuk digunakan. yang aku lakukan adalah mengunakan paper clip!

tempat aksesoris selanjutnya adalah untuk gelang dan bangles. sama sepeti tempat headband dan kalung, tempat gelang dan bangles juga mengunakan peralatan yang sama

4. Little box for everything

yang kecil tapi banyak kalau dibiarkan = hancur

aku mengunakan kotak bekas (lagi) dompet. bagian dalamnya aku lapisi kertas kado

supaya lebih rapi, tentu kita butuh pemisah (divider) untuk kotak ini. aku buat dengan bahan yang sama seperti pemisah yang aku buat untuk lacinya.

 satu bagian kecil aku beri sokongan. fungsinya untuk meletakan peniti kecil.

 hasilnya:

memang butuh extra effort untuk semua ini, namun sangat worth to do deh. RAPI dan MEMPERMUDAH HARI. boleh banget buat projek weekend kalau sibuk di weekday. :)

For the one who nailed 1000 days with me

Dear Mr,
I never had any thought I'll become in a such long term relationship with someone before my 25th birthday. Yes, we rarely count days, months, and years we've been together when an android application automaticly counts our days and wow it already pass 900 days!! and the day I publish this post, will be our 1000 days.
1000 days mean countless words, chat, laugh, tears, gases, kilometres, lunches, dinners, snacks, smacks, arguments, fights, hugs, kisses, movies, songs, trips, just like running man has its 212 episodes, we had our own countless episodes from romantic comedy to horror special.

Dear Mr,
I hate you because you always know how to deal with my temper and childist side. I hate you because you're the only man I deal with my heart in my past 1000 days. I hate you because I have nothing to hide in front of you. I hate you because you know my flaws the best.

Dear Mr,
Thank you for grow up with me. we change together. I hope in the next 1000 days, you'll have enough strenght and confidence to pick me up at my front door. I hope we will be more open with our relationship. and I hope we will last forever*

Born Curly ~ Hair Routine

First of all let me tell you what kind of hair I have.
It's curly and (very) thick hair!

well, nobody born with ugly hair, so do I. I made mistakes, treatments that my hair shouldn't has.
let me tell a long story of my hair.

It was started when I was on elementary school when I had my first touch with heated-iron-for-fabric-use. My aunt doing something that I totally obsessed to! HAIR STRAIGHTEN WITH HOME IRON.
I really liked my straight hair at that time and swore I will make it permanent.

It was on my third year on middle school for my first attempt straighten my hair. It used white long board and high damage chemical. only took 4 to 6 months after done that, when my second attempt straighten my hair using the same method. after that, I found new method for more straight hair. REBOUNDING!

Rebounding was very booming at that time. the first time i rebounding my hair was when in high school.
I got my hair damage a lot because of it. this method called rebounding, causes harm on my hair. It became very dry with split end everywhere. but it didn't stop me for trying again.
yes, I've done rebounding for about three or four times before I realized that all of it was useless.
my hair will grow and remain curly as it's from my DNA. what I've done will only make my hair get worsen.
I stopped doing anything to straighten my hair but never stop using hair iron. why? rebounding make my new growing hair look very ugly. the hair-end was dry and straight while the new growing hair was super curly. That's why I kept ironing some part of my hair to became more "neat". The result of this action was some parts of my hair became more dry when some parts where I did not apply the heat iron was like more healthy.

The last time I kept my hair grow very long but what I didn't realize, the longer your hair, the more intensive care needed. It so hard to putting attention on your super sensitive hair when you are working as an auditor, don't you? then I decided to cut my hair like 15-20 cm a month ago and start all over again. NO REGRET!

That is how my hair routine have started...

let me share product I use for my hair from pre to post washing my hair (hair routine).

I have learned from youtube to be careful when brushing curly hair because it got tangled easily. if you brush the tangled so hard, it may made your hair broken (that's when split end started on dry hair) so I use olive oil before brushing my hair.

1. Ovale olive oil

first I dived my hair into some parts then apply the olive oil from the end and up until the scalp. after one part is covered with oil, I brush it very carefully. again it start from end up to the scalp to minimize hair for broken. I also using that pink hair brush (picture was deleted because link broken :'(). that kind of brush is very suitable with hair that can easily tangled like mine. I used to do this ritual before go to sleep. I will let my hair absorb the oil when I sleep and rinse it at the next morning. Olive has various function for your hair such as hair loss, hair strengthening, grey hair, and also anti dandruff treatment!!

2. Hair shampoo and conditioner for damage or dry hair

I don't have any particular favorite shampoo. I'm using one kind of shampoo only for 3 months before I change to another product. I usually using pantene, dove, or makarizo product. I choose spesific product for damage and dry hair only. be careful with anti dandruff shampoo, It will prevent your scalp from producing hair oil which is very important for dry hair. Natural oil!

Don't forget to use conditioner. It will moist your hair for like a whole day.

3. Hair mist

I just found out how to apply both product as my hair mist right after I started to write about them (so sad i have to delete the picture since it also broken). since I bought the makarizo product first, it's like a half bottle left so I decided to combine these two great item. it's like water and oil, they won't get along unless you shake it. hehheee~ I think that's the easy way to use oil as your hair mist.
You can have makarizo product on any supermarket now a day. but one item that you probably never see or know is the special Mizon - Multi 24 Enrich Dry Oil, multi-use miracle oil.

According to the official Mizon eBay seller and this particular product’s eBay listing, these are the effects:

- 3 seconds quick absorbing facial oil for the enhanced super moisturizing effect for extreme dry skin.
- It forms moisture-retaining film on skin that protects skin and keeps skin soft and moisturized all day
long.
- Olive oil and argan oil extracts give a rich moisturizing and radiance to skin.
- It absorbs into skin quickly without leaving stickiness, which is good for both dry and oily skin.
- It can be mixed with essence or cream for using.
- Essential plant extracts help keep the best condition of skin.
- Rosemary and ylang-ylang flower oils soothe irritated skin and protect skin from oxidation.
- Paraben-free safe formula suits for sensitive skin.

The Main Ingredients (according to the eBay listing):

- Moisturizing and balancing skin oil and moisture - Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil
- Skin nourishing and protection-Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Soothing skin and protection-Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil
- Skin moisturizing and softening- Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
- Reinforces skin elasticity-Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil
- Reinforces skin wall and firms skin- Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil

I don't buy it from ebay but another online shop for about IDR 150k included shipping fee. I only use it for about a week for my hair. there's no short term effect. I just like how this oil absorb quickly so there's no oily effect on my hair it just disappear but moisturize. good product! I can't wait to see the result after 2-3 months.

4. Makarizo hair energy - royal jelly
This product has become my favorite hair mask since 3 years ago! but because of my laziness I never use this product intensively. I really like how my hair became after using this product. I will let this product stay on my hair like 2 to 3 hours before rinse it without any shampoo (before using it, make sure you rinse your hair and scalp with your favorite shampoo, use it just like conditioner). It has been a month since I use this product at least once a week. very good product!

5. Hair styling 
To style my curly hair, I use Rudy Hadisuwarno styling foam - strong. I use it to divine my curly hair and to prevent messy curly hair. I put enough amount of this foam to my palm than apply it from the middle of my hair to the end and then split my hair into two part right and left. I used to braid and roll my hair and left it like that (picture broken) a whole night. in the morning, I will love how my hair look like. I only use this product on weekend because I want to look fabulous on weekend and I don't have that much time on weekdays. kekekeke. I like how this product keep my curly hair divine. The worst thing of using hair styling product is that you can't keep it on your hair more than 24 hours. It will become very sticky, your hair will get tangled more than ever, it consistently making you feel very hot and want to get rid of it right away.

to be noted: 

1. I clean my hair like 2 to 3 times a week only!
2. My hair is born curly and curly hair is naturally dry.
3. All of the product above is own by me personally.

Let's recap my hair routine in order:
Oiling and brushing hair >> Rinse with shampoo >> Use conditioner or hair mask (once a week) >> Half dry the hair without any heat >> Put personally mixed hair mist >> Ready to go on weekdays >> Friday night using hair styling foam

This what I got because of these special beauty effort

do you notice the different between first photo and this photo?

everyday skin routine and product review

Mau cerita dikit nih soal produk perawatan wajah. bisa dibilang gue udah intens ngerawat kulit muka itu udah dari SMA dengan mengunakan produk Natasha Skin Care. Cocok sih, muka bersih, jerawat puber juga minim, kulit wajah juga jadi cerah, halus dan kenyal cumaaaaa harganya lumayan juga yah jadi makainya irit hasilnya wajah jadi biasa aja. ga gitu kinclong tp jg ga butek.

baru-baru ini gue coba eksperimen. ganti produk perawatan. yang tadinya pakai resep dokter sekarang pakai produk korea. 

Jenis kulit gue normal cenderung kering di daerah T. kulit gue ga gampang iritasi ataupun ga cocok sama satu produk tertentu (baru ngeh kalo ga cocok kalau udah coba produk lain terus hasilnya lebih bagus) tapi kulit gue cepat banget bereaksi kalau produk itu cocok (misalnya: jerawat di daerah-daerah langganan jerawatan langsung hilang hanya dalam 1-2 hari). Jangan ngiri ya dear sistah. hohoho

berikut everyday skin routine plus reviewannya

1. Secret key Snail + EGF Repairing Foam Cleanser

Cukup lembut di kulit, ga ada wewangian yang aneh. after usenya kulit berasa agak kering tapi tidak terlalu kering. ga tau sih fungsi lainnya apa selain ngebersihin kotoran di wajah. di beli karena tertarik sama rangkaian perawatan kulit wajah dari snail. hehehe~ biasanya di pakai tiap hari sambil diselingi pengunaan facial foam no 2 dibawah

2. Skin food Lavender Tea Salt Mask Foam.

Facial foam yang satu ini mengandung salt scrub yang cukup lembut, wanginya enak. saran buat para pengguna, sebelum digosok ke wajah sebaiknya di buat cukup berbusa dulu di tangan sampai scrubnya cukup lembut soalnya kalau tidak cukup lama di blend, scrubnya menurut saya terlalu kasar hasilnya kulit jadi terlalu kering dan dipaksa untuk regenerasi.

3. Skin food Tomato Whitening Toner

Wajib hukumnya mengunakan proper toner atau facial mist atau treatment essence (water based) setelah mencuci wajah dengan facial foam. karena habis mencuci wajah, kulit kita jadi super kering dan butuh diasupin nutrisi segera! nah, gue pakai toner ini. bintang lima buat wanginya! suka banget! kelebihan lainnya, toner ini bener-bener berhasil mengangkat sisa kotoran yang ga bisa dibersihin facial foam.

4. Secret key Snail + EGF Repairing Essence

Super cocok sama essence ini. jerawat ilang, wajah ga kering juga ga berminyak, kulit jadi super kenyal dan sehat. kayanya gue emang cocok deh sama produk wajah dari keong. lagi kepingin beli gel creamnya. ga mahal sih tapi berhubung masih pengangguran dan berhubung masih jarang keluar rumah, creamnya baru jadi wish list. hehehehe~

5. Skin food Tomato Whitening Serum

Kalau yang ini gue pakai berselingan sama snail essence rasionya 2 kali pakai snail essence, 1 kali whitening serum. fungsinya cuma buat ngabisin produk ini aja (karena udah dibeli duluan). bukan karena produk ini jelek looh! gue emang jatuh cinta sama wangi produk Tomato skin food dan emang terbukti produk ini bikin wajah gue lebih cerah tapi sayang dia ga bisa ngontrol jerawat di muka...

6. Skin food platinum eye kit

Lumayan bikin kulit di daerah mata lebih lembab. berhubung umur gue masih dibawah 25 tahun, eye cream emang belum ngaruh sih. btw ini gue dapet gratis dari skin foodnya. hadiah untuk pembelian diatas 1jt. ada tiga jenis. yang grape, honey, sama raspberry. grape untuk mencegah (20++), honey 30++, raspberry 40++ (yang ini buat mamah).

7. Body shop born lippy strawberry

Fungsinya simpel, mirip lip balm tp konsistensi minyaknya lebih banyak dan sedikit berwarna. yah supaya bibir tidak kering saja sih selama tidur. produknya biasa saja, sebaiknya mengunakan lip balm saja kalau ada.

jadi urutan every skin routine sebelum bobok cantik itu:

Facial foam >> Toner >> essence/serum >> eye cream >> lip balm

Simpel

gue masih order beberapa produk secret key lainnya seerti starting treatment essence sama facial mistnya

terus juga order 24 Enrich dry oil merek Mizon. ketiga barang itu sepertinya masih dalam perjalanan dari Seoul menuju Jakarta. ga sabar nyobain!!

The Unemployed Concerns

hmm.. the last post I said about absurd things not to resign from my recent company
here I am posting posting about my unemployed time.
only took 2 weeks after I finished my study, I have to do my first time job. now it's more than 3 weeks already since I have no job.
the main concern about being unemployed is MONEY!! I NEED MONEY!!
Thank God I can do some saving for about 1 mio per month and now I still live like yeah I can spend some money.
the next concern is THE NEW JOB! my last employer can paid me in average 7 mio per month for a fresh graduate in Indonesia! well if I forget the overtime, approximately my take home pay is about 5 mio per month. that's still quite high right? BIG CONCERN! I want to paid at the minimum 20% higher than my "pure" salary before which is about 6 mio with less than 1 year experience. I couldn't find any job available that fit my standard until now. *sigh
another concern is STUCK AS AUDITOR AGAIN. well, if I want and really need the money, should I apply a vacancy as and external auditor again? T_T
I want more relax time at office

to be remembered

well, here I am again with never ending overtime. hahahaha

being a consultant, pushed me to my limit. I have to learn by doing in a very short time with very tight deadline. but what doesn't kill you make you stronger laa~

but the best thing when you work is THE PAY.
I'm exhausted, I'm stress, I want to quit! but they paid me well.
5 weeks without weekend! but they paid me well.

I think the Company is very fair when it comes to your pay. If you done well even when you suffer, they replaced it with the pay. If you done so so and you suffer, they still pay you but with actual work time.
The thing is it's ok to charge overtime if and only if you have the work done or there's a proof (by documentation) that you are working.

What I love about my work space are:
1. All of we have the same age (22-30), so we are here working professionally but we can still have a talk like a friend (even with your manager).
2. Flexible time. it's ok if you are sick, you want a half day, if you can't go to office because one or more conditions, it's ok if at the end of booking day, all of your work is done correctly.
3. Great benefits. I got the insurance that can cover grade A hospital cost (all risk). I could take some vaccine injection such as Hepatitis, Cervix, and Flu. I could reimburse a glasses every one year. I could have 15 days annual leave per year. and I still could take the "sick leave".

I want to wrote this because I want to remember the positive things about working as a consultant before I submit resignation form later... :)

Di January...

I've mention "peak season" on my last post. some people might not know what is peak season mean by an auditor.

peak season is when auditor fight to collect as many as evidence in a very short time (2-3 weeks) to prove that all accounting matter was recorded properly without making user of financial report got confuse and make a wrong strategic decision for the company. this usually happen on Dec-Feb.

on December to the very first week of the years, we were busy stock taking our clients inventory, that's why on 31 Dec 2013, I went to Bogor, choosing sample and start counting plastic bottles. why on 2 Jan 2014, I went to Palu and on the next morning I should start counting fertilizers.
by the way, Palu is beautiful. even when I was in the middle of the city, I can see the clear sea and some fish swimming.

@Swiss-Belhotel Silae Palu

I've spent one night in the city. Young people gather on the beach on saturday night eating pisang stick and a traditional Palu's drink which I forgot the name (sorry...)
I also have the opportunity the new image of Hassanudin Airport (which I am over-excited about).

@Sultan Hassanuddin Int Airport

My grandmother was visiting me there. Thank God I was chosen to go to Palu so I can met her. :)
The thing that makes me moooore excited about is the MONEY!! yep I can make more money when I go to different city especially when it was WEEKEND! why? because the more time I spent for weekend-work-travelling, the more firm paid me. kekekekekek
let's taking a break....
hu
hu
hu

Well, you just read the exciting part of being an auditor when it comes to "peak season". let's start to talk about "the reality"....
I went to Palu on Thursday at dawn, I just arrive to my mess at 9pm. the next day I have to wake up early because the electricity got cut to cooling down the diesel engine (since PLN (State Power Company) is not reaching this area). I started my work after breakfast on 8am and done my work at 5pm. On Saturday, I do the same thing as Friday but what I did that day was to negotiate and making my stocktake report together with the Clients. I also get back to Palu on this day. I went to the Airport on 3pm on Sunday, and on 1am I just stepped on my front yard in Jakarta.
on Monday, I take half-day sick leave so that I can went work after lunch and I came back to home on 7pm.
the next day was coming.. I never sleep before 1am after that even on weekend. We did working on weekend. non-stop! yeah, I live like a robot for 3 weeks.

THE PEAK WAS ON THIS DAY--------->

when I touch down my bed on 3.30 and woke up at 8. :'(





3 of my peers resign on this peak season, 2 of them are my very best friend, we are like geng in the high school. always together. I wish them the best sincerely.. :(


I can't even celebrate by birthday properly... :'(
Alhamdulillah I still can met my my boyfriend on that day, and I still have my super friend who congratulate me 

but now peak season is passed, I passed it ALIVE with "no exception noted" marked. hehehehe


You know, it's very rare for me to write a Full-English post. I'm so sorry if my english is lacking. I just have the feeling that you'll know what this post is about.
