Last day before Christmas 2015. Sorry for the hiatus, I had a little getaway in Derawan Island for these past three days.

Although it’s not a white Christmas in Balikpapan but it is a wonderful one!

Enjoying the Holiday season here with big family (even this year I am not with my parents because they celebrate Christmas with my Grandma from dad’s side), I’ve been blessed by Christmas blessing, life has been giving me this warm and fuzzy feeling and I wanted to share it with you. Greatest news I got this month was I got accepted to be a Visual Merchandiser of H&M. God is too good. I never thought I would work in Fashion industry because I have my bachelor of Public Health as the education background. I think I am tasting sweet after bitter. Even I have to postpone my double degree program next year (I will, but not next year).

"Sometimes there is No Next Time, No Second Chance, No Time Out. Sometimes it is about Now or Never"

 We can't really believe 2015 passed too fast as our brain starting to remember the past things we've done, all the bad and good things that happened this year. I am truly blessed. And I still want to keep this blog alive because through this blogging activity, I am trying my best to let you all into my life a bit more so that we could inspire each other.

In terms of Christmas fashion, here I gave you my kind of last minute Christmas outfit for you who love to dress in a simple and timeless classic look. Red, blue and black are such good investment for Christmas vibe.

I have basically been living in dresses lately. This look I wore when I attended BPNFoodies gathering at Coffee Chat and for interview with H&M Indonesia at Quest Hotel. And in my opinion, this look can be applied as Christmas outfit for tomorrow occasion ;p 

This black dress from Zalora is the versatile one, the cutting is perfect. I can move freely in this dress paired with a long blazer and oxford shoes from Aldo. This time it’s all about comfort. I can say that Red and Black nearly go with everything. You might want those colours hanging in your closet as well, right?

Through this post, I want to share my Christmas / Holiday playlist.

Here are my Top 5 Christmas songs I've listened recently.

1. Glee Cast - Extraordinary Merry Christmas

2. Ariana Grande - Last Christmas

3. Pentatonix - Little Drummer Boy

4. TaeTiSeo - Dear Santa

5. Fifth Harmony - All I Want For Christmas Is You

Have yourself a Merry Christmas, gorgeous people.

BPNFoodies held their 10th Kumpul Foodies yesterday at Coffee Chat Balikpapan, a cozy and warm place to eat and IMHO, this is a perfect place to have a chit chat with your loved ones as well. I really love the interior of Coffee Chat, it's clean and simple, especially their outdoor area, I can't say no to take my OOTD photos with #teambeserangan.

Coffee Chat is located in Mulawarman street, Sepinggan. The general manager of Coffee Chat was too kind to invite and entertain us, not only by preparing the place for foodies gathering but also he served us with their delicious foods and not to mention, for their casual-friendly service from the waiters. Since it was just a foodies gathering, allow me to explain this gathering with pictures only. Enjoy <3

*The cameras always eat first >.<*

Thanks to Ice Cream Pot Balikpapan as well to bring their super delicious ice cream pots.

And for this homemade delicious cake from O'Corner Balikpapan.

I came late that day so I only managed to take only few photos, next time I'll try to capture all the foodies' photos :'D big thanks to BPNFoodies for allowing me to put their photos on this blog. I should come earlier for the next gathering.

See you on the next Kumpul Foodies <3

After sharing too much fashion and styling project articles, I think it's the best time to share another Top List post on SRS Blog.

3 months ago I had shared about My First English Book collections and this time, I'll be sharing and giving a little review for Flamma Publising (self-publishing books). Flamma publishing actually is intended for young people to take a part to change the world in Christ through literature and books. But in my humble opinion these books are suitable for adults as well. They are written mostly in Bahasa. Although I got them for free, I definitely will give my honest opinion and review. And since the books are mostly in Bahasa, allow me to write mostly in Bahasa, okay? Deal. Well, shall I start?

1. Wake Up Princess (Women Series). This one is really entertaining and inspiring. I mean as a woman, saya sendiri sering merasakan betapa enaknya mendengarkan sebuah janji, pujian yang manis yang memang enak untuk di dengar ketimbang mendengarkan kritikan dan saran terhadap kenyataan yang sebenarnya. Walaupun begitu, I tried to change that mindset.

Banyak perempuan tanpa sadar lebih memilih untuk percaya kepada kebohongan sebagai kebenaran yang akan membawa kebahagiaan. Bahkan ada yang dengan mudahnya percaya terhadap kebohongan tersebut karena merasa tidak percaya diri dan mulai kehilangan jati diri yang akhirnya akan membawa keunikan dalam dirinya dan arti kecantikan yang sejati hilang begitu saja. Wake up, Princess! kecantikan yang sejati sesungguhnya terdapat di dalam keunikan setiap pribadi, hal pertama yang perlu dilakukan ialah pribadi dari kita sendiri. Perempuan wajib bisa menemukan kekuatan dan kelemahan pribadinya dan ketika perempuan sudah berhasil menemukan keunikan dari dirinya dan mulai dikembangkan, well she will be more beautiful and more confident with herself.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future"

-Proverb 31:25-

2. You Deserve The Truth. God gives us brain, use it. This one is really good book for those who are in relationship. It teaches us that when we protect our bodies, we'll protect our hearts. Ketidakmengertian akan arti cinta membuat banyak orang muda terjebak dari satu tipuan cinta pada tipuan cinta yang lain.

3. Sexy And Holy. "Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you are pretty sexy and you are taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with" (Sex and The City). Don't star a relationship, if you are not ready for marriage. We must take action untuk bisa sungguh sungguh menjadi orang yang lebih baik.

4. Where Are You, Real Men? (Men Series). This book is presented for those men who are not easily giving up and for those who want to keep striving to be better. Because man is created to know how to fight for a battle, to learn to take risks for an adventure, and to learn how to protect women to rescue the beauty.

5. Shake Your Body. Love is giving, cinta tidak mengambil atau memanfaatkan pribadi yang lain demi kesenangan dan keuntungan sendiri. Fokusnya adalah, hidup yang diberikan itu selalu lebih membahagiakan daripada hidup yang difokuskan hanya demi diri sendiri.

See you in the next post :) Cheers.

I use contact lens from New Look, bought them at Optik Melawai.

My favourite things <3

 Just in case you're wondering what I use at night. I always maintain myself to take care of my skin in more natural ways. Getting lots of sleep and drinking lots of water will always save my skin from pimples and blemishes. I can say I am lucky to have non acne-prone skin, thanks to my parents’ genes but I still get a few little blemishes here and there whenever I forget to take care of myself.

Biore pore pack to save the day.

I always tell myself to keep my face moisturized after taking shower. And this Olay Age Protect face moisturizer helps me a lot. Recently I’ve noticed how much better my no make-up face look now compared to before. Sweat all the dirt out, wash your face properly, eat clean then be surprised that you actually have a natural glow and healthy face skin.

I use The Face Shop (you can purchase The Face Shop products at Sociolla as well) power long lasting sun cream when I go to beach or when I am going to spend all day outdoor.

Viva Skin Food Cream for my neck.
