Baby Ethan one month story

OMFG!

..ini kata pembukaannya penuh attitude ya bo?

Hehehehe..intinya lil love ku sudah 1 month old lewat (ya eyaaalah..judulnya aja geto), dan sebulan ini bener bener sebulan tercepet di idup gw..dan juga sebulan tercampur aduk perasaan di dada ini,
*lebay banget ga seh?

About me

Sebulan ini juga sebulan untuk banyak hal yang pertama kali gw " do something new " di idup gw, kayak:

- ngelahirin, 

- pumping nenen - yg gw masi takjub..kok bisa kuar susu yah? jadi berasa kayak moo moo, 

-gendong newborn, 

- mandiin, gantiin popok, 

- tidur less than 4 hours a day - yang gw takjub juga..ternyata gw bisa bo..secara biasa 8 jam tidur molo aja bangun bangun berasa kurang, apalagi kalo lagi mimpiin Daniel Henney ke interupt.

- cek in jaitan dibawah dan apa bentuknya masi "normal" *halah*

- dan juga GW MALES ngaca! karena mabok ngeliatin kapan badan gw dan segala kedekilannya bakal luntur dan kembali putih bersih?!

Awal awal gw balik dr hospital, hormone lagi drop kan..aer mata gw ngalain cinderlela deh..ga ada angin ga ada ujan bisa tes tes mengalir sendiri..entah kenapa, dan kalo malem..huaaah..jangan ditanya, gw masi parno sama proses lahiran gw, jadinya saban merem gw kebayang labour room dan dong gw nangis seram, padahal semuanya udah lewat.

About baby Ethan

So far Baby Ethan being such a lovely baby, asal gassy nya dia ga muncul aja..kalo pas muncul, yaoloooo tangisan anak tiri kuar membahana dah! gw rasa kalo orang denger bisa bisa kirain gw lagi apain anak gw kale. Dan segala lagu lagu dari baby song sampe indonesia raya bisa kuar buat nenangin si baby. hahahaa..kadang berasa konyol sendiri.

So far dia belon terlalu gimana banget sih ke kita..selaen jadwal bobonya yang sesuka ati, dan kadang bikin Arip " Errggh " karena dia pulang kantor ngarep ketemu anak happy lalala ternyata ketemunya Ethan yang lagi cranky karena ngantuk, dan gw baru baca di blog nya Dina - Cerita Bendi ternyata baby bisa diatur cara tidur, yok maree Ethan kita boot camp!

Trus di 1 month old ini, Ethan baru mulai mulai 1 x 2 x senyum karena reaksi kita, bukan senyuman baby dengan Angel yang jaga dia yah. Oh oh, pernah loh sekali itu..pas malem malem gw gendong ethan abis susu, gw jalan keliling2 di ruang tamu gw yang cuman sepetak ini, trus ethan buka mata, liat ke belakang gw en senyum kayak lagi senyum sama Angel gitu. Gw dong, serem! gw bawa masuk ke kamar lagi akhirnya..hahahahhaa..

Dan oh, Sabtu kemaren itu 1 mth celebrationnya Ethan, kita rayain sambil undang2 temen temen yang drop by pas lahiran Ethan di Rumah sakit sama temen temen yang shower Ethan with gifts. Ni anak dapet kado buanyak ajeee..sampe gw bilang ke yang baru mo kasih kado untuk ga usah repot repot..kasih voucher aje mendingan. hahaha..*mak oportunis*

Trus kita pesen kue 1 bulan Ethan yang ada gambar baby bobo, dan karena tema nya jungle..jadinya ada binatang2 di sekeliling kue nya.

Untuk thank you gift nya kita pesen cookies yang personalised nama Ethan juga buat dibawa pulang sama tamu tamu :)

Sekarang enjoy the cuteness, eke mudik dulu ke jakarta :)
Yok mareee kopdar!

See yaa later aligwator!

Light smokey eyes tutorial with Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil

This is actually a long overdue make up tutorial that I did while ago; 

when I was actually 39 weeks preggie ^^

I created this look to make use of my Urban Decay 24/7 glide pencil, I love the colours and this is a idiot proof way in making the smokey eye effect, because all you need to do is just simply rub it left and right.

I started with MAC powder foundation - studio perfect NC 25

Eyebrow - Cyber colour in dark brown

Contouring kit by NYX 

This is the series of the Urban Decay glide on eye pencil that I used.

As simple as:

1.  framing your eyes with UD Zero and blend the upper liner with a firm blending brush.

2. Layer the top liner with UD-demolition

3. Double up the lower liner with UD-Mainline

And I finished up the look with Urban Decay cream blush in slight coral colour.

Done!

Hope you enjoy this simple tutorial :)

Can post natal massage treats water retention?

I have completed my 10 sessions of jamu treatment from preg massage, 

and omg let me tell you..that was one of the best hours in my days!

I started this treatment around 2 weeks after my delivery, when my whole body was aching,  and i am just simply feel exhausted taking care of newborn. I am seriously so super thankful for every session, it gaves me a feeling of having a " me time " when actually with the newborn, " me time " is a luxury.

Apart from that, I believe in a " happy mommy is a happy baby " philosophy, and with having this post natal treatment that focus on recovering my body, i would say i feel better. I feel happier.

After giving birth, my whole body shape has changed. I am thankful for the fuller boobs and wider hips..but the leg water retention is a nightmare for me. If you have followed my instagram from quite sometimes, you've seen my swallon leg right? And in my case, even after the deliery..the water retention did reduce but never fully go away.

With just less than 6 session, my therapist, Ms. Diana, helps me to reduce the water retention on my ankle. It was slightly painful due to the water trap under the skin..but no pain no gain! And tadaaaa...look at my ankle now :)

I really like the technique that ms Diana did on me, it's very much Indonesian style of massage ; which is my favourite! 

and with preg massage, they only use certified organic oil for the treatment.

This relax massage oil is a combination of essential oils that will calm and relax the body and soul

Skin will feel nourished and soft

Ingredients:

prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) seed oil, lavandula angustifolia (lavender†) flower oil, linalool*, limonene*, citrus reticulata (mandarin) peel oil, pelargonium graveolens (geranium) leaf oil, cananga odorata (ylang ylang†) flower oil, cymbopogon martini (palmarosa) leaf oil, benzyl benzoate*, geraniol*. (*Natural constituents of essential oils, †Certified organic).

This oil absorb into my skin superbly, and i never have an overall smooth skin like i have today! 

Thank you to this safe and wonderful oil.

In this post natal package, I was pampered with the hot stone massage as well..

omg, the feeling is super shioook, and you might want to try this.

In my next post of my healing journey with preg massage, I will share the details part on how each treatment goes..stay tuned with me Mommies!

My post natal journey with Preg Massage

Now that baby E is already in Da House, I feel that I have less " me " time..and I somehow feels that my life revolves around baby E and nothing else. Don't get me wrong,  I love being around baby E, sniffing his baby scent, talking non sense wording with him..although in certain moment it could be very overwhelming. ^^

On the other hand i can't deny that i want and miss my pampering time..and this is why i am looking forward for my daily post natal treatment with preg massage.

My encounter with preg massage started when i booked a pre natal massage trial with them. 

My friend who earlier tried their service, introduced me to their service.

 I was on 37-38 weeks then and was looking for a professional massage treatment for my sore preggie body. I was really impressed with their service and decided to booked them for my post natal treatment without a second thought.

I am very particular about when it comes to massage therapy, i am so damn scared when some untrained therapist touching my body - its so direct contact to my muscle and literally - nerves. This is totally a part where i need to be safe than sorry.

With preg massage, i know that i am in a certified good hand and they are clearly know what they are doing and they are good at it.

After a exchanging a few email with Sheron - the general manager of preg massage to decide when will be the best time for me to start the treatment, Preg massage decided to collaborate with me and my blog - Pinkbuble In Da House in sharing about my post natal healing journey with them.

Super yay!! Not only that I feel so blessed that Sheron is a super caring person, my therapist - Ms. Diana has a superb skill in handling the post natal treatment, and the treatment works wonder on me, today - after a full session of Jamu treatment, i must say..the treatment with Preg massage is totally worth it!

Yes, it does cost something..but stay tuned with me on why i think it's totally worth the penny spent.
