MY GO-TO QUICK AND HEALTHY SNACK

Tuesday, April 18, 2017

I know in the past year I’ve mentioned that I was attempting to make lifestyle changes, from trying new foods to finally register myself at the gym. Keeping a regular exercise routine isn’t easy but I do what I can. Weekly training sessions concentrating on weights and legs workouts. Not a huge amount has changed here haha I’m still having a pizza when I want a pizza, ordering takeaways at night ;p yup I'm being honest now that I can't live without eating snacks (especially chips and chocolate bars etc) everyday. Yeah when you need something quick, it's super easy to go for a bag of chips, chocolate bars or something else that may not be as nutritious but helps to get rid of those hungry feelings, right? ;p

Talking about my go-to snack, belakangan ini aku lagi suka banget makan snack bar Soyjoy yang rasa Almond & Chocolate as substitution for those unhealthy snacks. Semua teman aku bilang rasa Soyjoy yang satu ini enak bgt dan I must agree! I get hungry very quickly so this one is good a choice for a snack.

Soyjoy Almond & Chocolate ini mengandung sumber protein, tinggi serat dan bebas gluten juga loh, pas banget kan dijadikan camilan sehat. Snack Bar ini dibuat dari tepung kedelai seutuhnya, kaya akan vitamin (A, B1, B6, E, dan asam folat) dan mineral (magnesium). Berasa makan coklat gak pake takut gendut deh :D

I can say that these Soyjoy bars are a healthy alternative to various snacks that are available. When I am in a situation where I feel no energy and needed some food to pick me up. I always choose a Soyjoy bar over a bag of chips or chocolate bar now. I really like the taste of these bars and feel full after eating them. It is a perfect snack when I am running around and don't have time to stop and eat. I definitely recommend them, you can't go wrong with these.

I liked the texture, easy to bite and chewy but not too sweet. You can even see the bits of real almond in the bar and they are not very big or dense.

By the way, akhir-akhir ini aku suka banget bolak balik baca-baca artikel yang ditulis di Beautynesia; mulai dari artikel berisi seputaran gaya hidup, informasi & tips seputar skin care dan produk kecantikan, tutorial sampai urusan diet (these two categories have been my kind of favorite "ebook" now: http://beautynesia.id/diet and http://beautynesia.id/food). Thanks to BEAUTYNESIA for always reminding me to keep living my life the best way I can, I’m definitely going to start kicking myself into shape.

MOIST SKIN, HAPPY SKIN

Tuesday, April 11, 2017

As someone with dry skin, I prefer Asian cushion foundations and I admit it I disliked CC cushion before because hey never lasted on me nor provided me with adequate coverage, now I've changed my mind. Thanks to Charis Official, I finally got the opportunity to try out W.Lab's W-Snow CC Cushion with SPF50+ PA+++. I got mine in shade #23 “snow beige” (which is the darkest shade that they have) and surprisingly it matched my skin tone perfectly! I really love the result, it leaves a natural finish on the skin. Oh, a reminder for those who have oily skin, you would need to powder it down to make it stay on your face longer.

Not having much expectations for it (as like any other CC cushions), I decided to try it out for the first time when I went out with cousin to get lunch and meeting with my co-workers (I brought this cc cushion when I was having my short getaway in Jakarta). This cushion compact offers flawless coverage alongside moisturizing also whitening benefits, wrinkle improvement, UV protection and a cooling sensation (this really helps because I've lived in humid area everyday). This cc cushion is packed with nutritious ingredients including Green tea water 41%, NMF, Eco-ceramide, retinol and Vita Complex. It is safe for acne-prone or sensitive skin.

I spent around 12hours catching up with my seniors that day and I was amazed that this CC Cushion is actually great. It provided me with a decent medium coverage (not too dewy nor matte) and my freckles and blemish were perfectly covered. My face looks radiant and healthy, no streaking or patchiness. Honestly I was pretty skeptical myself. How can this be good? It lasts all day long and I love the finish of it. This became my holy grail of CC Cushion. I definitely will buy it again.

Overall I'm satisfied with this product especially for the price, it only costs around IDR 320.000 at Charis Official. It's definitely better than some of the over hyped cushions in the market, give this one a try, you won't regret it.

Just pat pat pat and you're ready to go!

CHARM FRAGRANCE

Tuesday, April 11, 2017

How many times you make yourself worry due to your period because the smell of the period stains?

As a woman who lives doing both career and hobby at the same every day. I have learnt a lot of new things, dealing with hurdles and overcoming challenges, keep my confidence up each day by adapting myself in every situation, especially when my monthly-period just gets in the way of my confidence in career.

Well, memulai aktivitas kerja dari pagi hingga malam saat menstruasi membuat aku gak nyaman banget sih specifically the smell of the period stains. Ya jujur sebagai wanita, satu hal yang cukup mengganggu dan membuat aku jadi gak percaya diri saat menstruasi adalah munculnya bau yang ‘khas’ dari darah menstruasi even it’s a normal thing tapi aku tetap aja selalu was-was. Terkadang bau yang ‘khas’ saat menstruasi bisa dipengaruhi oleh makanan yang dikonsumsi, tingkat kelembaban daerah intim kewanitaan, iritasi karena infeksi bakteri/jamur serta kurangnya kesadaran menjaga kebersihan daerah intim kewanitaan kita; salah satunya dalam pemilihan pemakaian pembalut yang tepat saat sedang menstruasi.

Dalam sebulan ini, semenjak aku menggunakan produk terbaru CHARM Fragrance (produk pembalut pertama di Indonesia dengan keharuman bunga mawar yang menyenangkan) aku gak perlu khawatir lagi sama bau yang ‘khas’ saat menstruasi.

Based on experience of using this product, CHARM Fragrance is the right kind of pad I ever tried karena memiliki daya serap yang extra cepat dan dilengkapi double block line yang membantu menjaga daerah intim kewanitaan tidak lembab selama menstruasi karena tidak gampang bocor saat menstruasi lagi banyak-banyaknya (on heavy flow days), secara tidak langsung pembalut ini membantu mengurangi peningkatan pH (tingkat kelembaban) daerah intim kewanitaan yang menyebabkan bau yang tidak sedap pada darah menstruasi. Well I can’t imagine how bad the smell from the period stains kalau pembalutnya bocor, gak nyaman banget kan pasti dan tentunya akan mempengaruhi aktivitasku seharian. Pembalut ini terbukti membantu menyamarkan bau ‘khas’ dari darah menstruasi loh.

This CHARM Fragrance Super Slim Wing is totally my savior-kit when I am having my monthly period. Both on my heavy and regular flow days, pembalut ini dapat diandalkan banget, aku gak perlu khawatir bau apalagi saat urgent harus ke toilet untuk buang air kecil saat menstruasi karena pembalut ini membantu menyamarkan bau darah yang “khas” saat menstruasi. Mau melakukan aktivitas apa aja seharian aku akan tetap percaya diri karena aku gak keganggu lagi dengan bau ‘khas’ yang muncul saat menstruasi :)

I admit it, I always feel uneasy about my periods, jujur sampai sekarang aku masih gak bisa memprediksi kapan siklus menstruasi datang hahaha that’s why preparation is needed, I always make sure to always bring extra CHARM Fragrance Super Slim Non Wing 9pads everywhere I go, yup akan lebih baik jika selalu membawa cadangan pembalut dalam dompet kecil, untuk dipakai sewaktu-waktu. Lagian aku juga memiliki kebiasaan untuk megganti pembalut setiap 4 jam sekali saat during heavy flow days/pas lagi deras-derasnya (dan minimal 2 kali sehari during regular flow days). Menurut aku, dengan cara rutin mengganti pembalut saat menstruasi haid, membantu banget untuk mengurangi menumpuknya volume darah menstruasi di pembalut yang ujung ujungnya akan menyebabkan munculnya bau ‘khas’ menjadi terlalu menyengat.

Our period can really affect our activities a whole day, we just need to learn how to deal with it the best way we can. It’s something that occurs monthly so don’t let your period control your life. I hope this article is helping you to deal with the smell of your period stains :) You should try this product too.
