My beauty tips for a busy mum

This March, my lil love turns 5 months old and so far it has been the most rewarding 5 months in my life. I love my new role as a mommy. I love the feeling of giving and loving lil love so much and it always surprises me in so many ways. I love smelling his baby scent, listening to his coo-ing, looking at his smiley eyes, feeling his little tiny hands grabbing my finger, and our daily pillow talk

But most of all, I love his demanding sleeping ritual; cranky and crying if anyone else carries him to sleep but ME. His neediness makes me feel...like a mother. He will just sleep and cuddle himself to me while playing with my hair, clothes or pretty much anything within his grasp before eventually falling asleep.

Being a mommy is awesome.

Apart from being a mom, I am also a marketing ninja by day, professional make-up artist during the weekend and an award- winning beauty blogger, and yeah...I guess I am one busy mommy. 

Despite, my tight schedule and the various roles I have to juggle, staying beautiful is still on my priority list...even though I might not have as much time to get ready as before! :D So,I came out with few beauty tips for busy moms like me!  

1. Choose the right skincare

 Just like a good canvas to start a painting, having healthy and smooth skin is a good way to cut down your make-up time. As you know, SK-II is my preferred skincare brand, and thank goodness because of this...I don't need to pile up concealer and foundation on my face :)

2. Get professional help

For me, eyelashes are important, that is why I have mine artificially extended.

And if you have problems drawing your eyebrows, go get an eyebrow embroidery done to save make-up time. 
I got both from Prestige eyebrow and all I need to do to create the look below is just a line of MUFE eyeliner, a dash MUFE pressed powder, Starlash, Estee Lauder blush and Jane Iredale lip plumper.

3. Get the engine revving 

I don't know about you, but for me I need a cup of good-quality coffee in the morning to keep my mind alert and get a boost good mood.

and I also have a good wholesome breakfast to start a day :)
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives you energy for the day ahead and keeps your alert. And we know that part of being beautiful is being vibrant and energetic instead of looking dull and tired. So never skip breakfast!

4. Be Happy

Spend time with your loved one :) A happy mind equals a happy face.

and do things that makes you and your family happy.

5. Get good sleep

No matter how busy I am as a mom, I always find my way to sneak out and have a restful sleep.
I know that as a new mom, to have a good 8 hours sleep seems like a dream come true!

 But, hey! You deserve it! I deserve it!

Do ask your husband/maid/mom/mom-in-law to take care of your baby for a little while so you can catch up with your beauty sleep.

Believe me, this is one of the beauty secrets that everyone knows but ignores.

That's all my tips to stay beautiful as a busy mom and remember...
Beauty is a state of mind, so start believing that you are beautiful in your own way.

Love yourself.

KUU Konjac sponge untuk Lil love ku :)

Makasih yaaaa KUU Konjac Indonesia!

Ethan dah dikirimin natural fibre sponge buat mandi :)

Ini sebentar lagi dijual di Indonesia dengan harga IDR 120.000 satu spon nya, he eh..emang agak mahal..tapi beneran deh..kalo buat baby..gw rela! ~ aku relaaaa...* dangdutan*

Daku seneng loh pas terima ini..datengnya bareng2 sama sponge Konjac yang untuk aku, tapi rasanya seneng aja kalo ada gift dateng untuk lil Ethan :)

Konjac ini tuh sebenernya Jelly traditional dari Jepang yang dibikin dari calcium hydroxide, sejenis kentang yang disebut Konnyaku.

KUU Konjac sponge ini alus banget teksturnya..agak agak mirip kue kukus gitu..kalo biasa sponge nya kan bolong bolong kasar yah..nah yang ini tuh engga sama sekali.

Trus yah, ini kalo dicemplungin ke air..keliatan banget air nya masuk dan bikin sponge nya makin moist abis. Dan setetes sabun Ethan ditarok di sponge ini bisa jadi banyak banget busanya en cukup buat satu badan. :) *irit*

 Trus yah, saking lembutnya sponge ini bisa buat kulit sensitive, bahkan untuk kulit yang ada eczema loh. Jadi aman lah untuk kulit baby, apalagi kulitnya Ethan tuh super alus banget en sensitive..jadi gw bener bener pilih segala sesuatu yang gw kenain ke badan dia.

Kan sayang banget yah, kalo kulit cantil lembut gini ga kita kasih yang terbaik..termasuk sepon untuk mandi :) - Iklan banget yah gw?

Tapi cobain deh pake sponge ini buat mandi-in lil one kita.

You will know what I am talking about :)

Lil Ethan is almost 5 months old

Dah lama gw ga update soal baby Ethan sama daily life yah? kemaren kemaren ini gw baca baca-in lagi soal blog blog gw yang dulu..yang super ngalor ngidul tapi banyak kenangan :) ..dan itu ngebikin gw pengen nge-blog lagi soal life and family.

Walo blog gw ini pelan pelan jadi ngarahnya ke beauty..gw masi suka terima email yang bilang kangen banget bacain cerita cerita gw kayak dulu, duh gw jadi terharu pisan..dan akhirnya - gw tekad mo nulis soal personal thingy lagi -

Pertama, soal baby Ethan..sekarang uda ampir 5 bulan!

Cepet yaaaa? uda lucu, uda bisa interaksi, uda enak di unyel unyel.

Tapi semuanya masuk ke mulut dong!

Dari kaen, tangan, toys, sampe ujung sarung bantal..semuanya Hap.

Nanti kalo uda mulai merangkak semua yang di lantai masuk ke mulut juga kali yah?

Trus Ethan uda tau kalo namanya Ethan gitu, kalo kita manggil " Ethan.." dia pasti nengok sambil angkat alis gitu :D dan langsung senyum senyum ga jelas.

Totally cute!

Trus sekarang hobinya maen kaen en ditutup ke mukanya ato ga ditarok di kepala kayak gini.

Gw yang selalu serem banget kalo dia pegang kaen, takut kebekep mukanya nanti ga bisa napas :)

- wajar ga sih parno-an gini? -

Soal perkembangan Ethan, di umur yang ampir ke 5 bulan ini..dia uda bisa tengkurepan sendiri..trus pantatnya mulai nungging nungging en kaki nya uda kayak mo ngesot..tapi tangannya belon ngerti gimana narik badannya gitu. :P

Trus Ethan uda mulai ketawa tawa ngakak..yang kadang kadang sampe keselek gitu.

Trus gw bingung, kok uda mulai ileran pol..teething gitu, maunya gigit gigit yang dingin dingin dan pernah satu ahri dia ngamuk pol pas teether nya gw cabut dr mulut dia. - sigh -

Lalu, Ethan ini anak yang narsis bo! saban liat henpon or kamera langsung dia menatap ke kamera dan entah lah ngapa2in berpose ato senyum ato pasang ekspresi muka ga jelas. lol.

It feels amazing banget yah to have a child.

Kadang gw kalo lagi gendong dia trus dia yang kayak try to talk to me in his baby language..gw bisa sampe terharu sendiri loh. Thinking that my baby boy will grow up soon..hur hur hur..

Lebay ga sih berasa gini?

My beauty (and other) tips for new mums

Being a mom is the HAPPIEST thing that ever happened to me.

Although it was hard at first, I have no regrets about my decision to put someone's life above mine. Having a baby puts the past and things I’ve done in a different perspective. Your view on life changes.

However, another thing that changes is your body and skin. All those hormones and extra weight can create havoc on your usual ‘body’ and beauty.

Let me share with you my tips to staying beautiful as a new mommy, sounds good? :D

~*~

I have been getting comments on how I look after I gave birth, and thank goodness, it's all positive!

Personally, even though I am still 4 kg away from my pre-pregnancy weight, I feel confident in my new curves. Although, I hope I can still improve on the tummy flab :P

Before I had my little love, I was always scared about getting pregnant and being a mom.

I always had the impression that being a mommy means having no time for yourself. You will look ugly, and people have to forgive you for looking like that, because you are a MOM.

-_-'

How about a big NO to that initial impression?

I think we, the new generation, can still be a mom and keep looking good.

I still need to keep le hubby on my bed leh.

^^

Anyway, here are my tips to staying beautiful as a new mum :)

1. Eat right

Everything inside will be reflected outside, 

so please choose what you put in your mouth wisely.

When I am at home and in a hurry juggling my work, taking care of lil love and having to cook, I usually throw in carrots, celeries, potatoes, lentils and some ground meat into the slow cooker to simmer.

Easy and full of nutrition – especially during my confinement period.

2. Choose the right skincare

As most of you know, it is SK-II for me :)

Remember I have 22 year old skin according to the SK-II Magic Ring test?

 Having a baby doesn’t mean that you neglect your skin. In fact, with all those hormonal changes, taking care of your skin is more important than ever.

My SK-II beauty regime has been with me for years and it continued to work during and work even now post-pregnancy. So find the right skincare products for you and don’t get lazy in your regime.

You can read more about my regime here

 3. Put on the right makeup

I am a makeup artist and I know the power of makeup.

See the photo below, she is one of the models I worked with before and take a look at how she looks after the makeup? Pretty awesome, right?

This is how I look like without makeup and my contact lens.

I don't consider myself naturally pretty...

  

But with a help of simple make up..

 

I create beauty!

The last tip and the most important one for me is...

4. Fall in love 

Something about love brings out the glow in us, so keep feeling it, keep spreading it and keep living it.

For me, I never want to be with anyone else but le hubby... 

It's been 16 years since I first met him and I still love the feeling of waking up to him each morning.

..and this one, no need to explain lah.
Lil love is my everything.

I was surprised at how I can love this little man this much.

 I guess that’s the beauty of being a mom, yes?

So…yeah, there you go…my tips on staying beautiful as a new mum.

You may or may not agree with me, but believe me...

It works!
