Trip ku ke Hakone - Japan..

Hakone is definitely one of my favourite place to go in Japan!

Waktu bang Arip bilang kl kita bakal ke hakone, gw yang " heh? " ada apa coba disono? Dan dijawab " onsen. " ma bang Arip. Gw bukan penggemar onsen sama sekali, jadi waktu tau tempatnya terkenal onsen..gw jadi yang niat ga niat gitu kesananya. Tapi yasudala, niat ati kan mo explore jepun ya.

Kita naek kereta namanya " Romance Car ", ntah napa juga dinamain gitu..ga ada romance romance nya sama sekali padahal. 

Gw bawa majalah ini dari SG, buat bekel bacaan di Jepang. Btw, majalah Glamour ini bagus yah..gw demen banget cara editornya nulis, dan gw feel ke-inspired banget sama artikel artikel mereka.

Oh ini, bekel satu lagi buat di Jalanan..rasanya mirip banget sama kue sus kawin silang sama papa beard dan yah..yaoloooo enak banget!! 

YUMMY to the max.

Sesampenya di Hakone, kita ketemu bunga sakura cantik macam gini..hampir sepanjang jalan ke hotel kita gitu. It's pink and it's pweety :)

Ini hotel kita :)

Cantik abis kamarnya, trus dapet dinner pula.

So far, ini kamar terluar dr semua hotel yang pernah kita tinggal di Jepang, walo termasuk kecil banget untuk ukuran suite.

Kita ambil hotel ini karena pengen nyobain onsen, tapi eke ga pede ber " i see you, you see me " an beramai ramai di onsen umum bo. Bingung itu anduk segede lap meja mo buat tutupin seimprit badan ato muka :D hahaha. Jadilah kita ambil kamar dengan private onsen ini :)

One thing yang gw inget about Hakone, ini tempat DINGIN MAMPUS di spring.

Beneran sampe menggigil yang bikin badan gw jd numb gitu loh, agak kapok deh gw - dan buat yang mo pergi ke Hakone pas spring bawa baju thermal deh. Jangan kayak daku :(

Oh well, ini photo gw pajang karena lightingnya bagus aja at that moment. :)

Salah satu alesan kita ke Jepang April lalu itu untuk ngerayain 3rd anniversary daku dengan bang Arip. To the one that forever hold my heart, the best partner in life that could understand the unique me, and the best daddy for our little family that I could ask for. Looking forward to spend many more years to come..and grow old together.

Toast!

Sekarang, MARI MAKAN!!!

Aku orang ndeso yang ga pernah makan makanan model gini, kok sayuran di Jepang bisa enak gini sih? Beneran bisa deh diet kl model sayurannya macam ini.

The rest of the photos ini semua makanan yang the i ever tasted di Hakone!

Kenyang. Puas. Mau lagi.

-----***-----

The next day, kita harus balik lagi ke Tokyo, akhirnya cuman jalan jalan aja sambil poto poto dan makan es krim :)

Es krim ku rasa SAKURA, dan ada daonnya dong :)

Sekian Hakone adventurenya, 'till we meet again!

Time to go back to Tokyo.

[Beauty Review] Salon styling for lashes!

First time hearing that? Me too!

Because it is for the very first time our lashes could join the styling department with Salon de Cara.

When I received this items, i must say that I beyond excited to try out this brand. I know that Clio eyeliner is one of my favourite, but I am quite picky about a good mascara. Do you wanna know what I think about this brand? Read up!

The first mascara that I tried is 001 Hair Roll Cara

Honestly, this one is slightly heavy to my lashes. Slightly clump together..but it gives the most WOW factor on my lashes. It's thicken, and darken my lashes by almost 300%..no kidding!

The second one is 002 Roll Brush Cara

I love how the brush work on separating my lashes without clumps and how it gives the volume on my almost none lashes. I always love Maybelline mascara, but now I think this one goes to my favourite bucket as well.

The third one and definitely my favourite!
003 Finger Cara

Super like this one!

somehow it has the fiber inside the wand that makes my lashes goes longer and longer..at first i thought it was my lashes dropped in the want, but when i keep loking at it..it's not my lashes, instead it's the additional secret in this favourite tube to give some extension on lashes.

Pure genius!

All in all, I would say I love this newly found Mascara, it just somehow made for asian eyes, and it works. Especially if you damn short lashes like mine, this wand gives you hope :)

Although it's not a magic..but it does appear like one :)

This is my lashes look like on this 3:

If you are not sure which one to pick, follow the guideline below here, and I hope you enjoy the fun of playing with mascara. 

Retailing at $24.90 at selected Watson stores.

[Beauty Review] Kiehl's Vetiver & Black Tea range

December is definitely my favourite month, and what makes it even wonderful is the new scent that recently launch at Kiehl's. I personally think this is a very good gift for Christmas present for mom, sister or even for yourself. We need to give extra present for ourselves in the month of December, yes? Haha..why? Because it's the 12th month of the year and we've been through the wonderful year up to the end! 

So, let's indulge a little more on this wonderful collection!

From left to right: The body cleanser ($33), The Eau de Toilette natural spray ($45), and the Skin softening body lotion ($43). I was always a fans of Kiehl's bath and body collection, and this one just join the club! 

Expect a combination of citrus, vetiver and black tea as the outcome. It is light, refreshing, and yet linger in a beautiful scent behind. Like any other Kiehl's cleanser, it is gentle to skin and this even works on my eczema skin. The Moisturizer, SUPERB! Even if you are the " on the go " type - this moisturizer definitely fit to your busy schedule.

Call me perfume/eau de toilette addict. I can't seems to have enough perfume to join my collection.

My mum used to gave me all the travelling size of cute little perfume bottle when i was little, and everytime she came back from overseas trip - she will gave it to me as a present. I grow up with that memories in me, and it makes me the perfume collector i am today :)

And this Christmas, Kiehl's collaborate with artist Craig & Karl to design this sassy box as a gift box!

I was at Kiehl's store at Centrepoint to do personalized my box. There are many pre-packed gift box that you can just pick, pay and go! Otherwise, just fill it in with your favorite items and pack it in.

Isn't make such a beautiful and vibrant gift?

Sungguh, gw rasa gw berbuat baik di idup yang lampau to deserved this kind of kind heart in this very life. Thank you so much for the effort.

Dan gw ga pernah berasa " well done El " Shoulder tap to myself as how i felt on his birthday.

Kayak, gw yang sungguh culun to be a mom, for not knowing how to hold a newborn, how to bath him, and how to change diaper..finally made it to the most precious year in our both life!

We made it Ethan!! Looking forward to enjoy our family life in many many years to come!

I love you so much, maybe too much at some point of time, but if you read this one day..

i want you to know that you are one of the best thing that has ever happened to me.

You are my joy, my pride and will always be apply of my eyes.

My...precious...*ga ding! itu LOTR.

Enjoy your Prezzie Ethan!
