Have you heard about Diapers Cake?

I know that this post has been long overdue, but it doesn't stop me from smiling whenever I saw this photos - it just so pretty and worth to share..so I decided to blog about it. 

A diaper cake is a fun and practical baby gift, perfect for new or expectant parents. They are great for baby showers, hospital visits, first month and office celebrations. They are made entirely of disposable diapers and baby necessities and gifts. All cake ingredients are both decorative and useful to the new parents and baby.

 All the Diaper Cakes are wrapped in premium gift box packaging and come in 3 different sizes:

When Ethan was born, my friend- Adeline..the founder of Diaper Cakes came and gave us this 2 tier hamper. We love it and in fact, because we liked it too much..we didn't open it up. Heehee!

It's looking really cute with Mickey on the top and it feels very personalised with ETHAN name below.

 

I think this is one of the best gift you could gift to your friend :)

Less headache, and it just a matter of choosing the theme - baby boy or girl.

It comes with:

It's pretty much the all things that the newborn would need, right?

Diapers, blanket, socks and the basic necessity is included inside :)

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?

HO HO HO! Preg massage is having a festive package :)

Olla mommies and mommy to be! I wanna share something worth the share on this festive season..

It's the festive package from Preg massage :)

If you have followed my blog, you must have read my experience with Preg massage after my delivery, yes?

No? Read it HERE and HERE.

I personally feel better after the whole session and i keep encouraging people to at least give it a try on the trial session that preg massage has to offer. I think it's really beyond customer service that preg massage give a trial session without any obligation, they understand that to invest on this amount you should at least comfortable with their service. But, let me share with you on how comfortable the massage session is:

The session started with stretching to relax the muscle, and the therapist start the massage process from toe to head in a very constant and organize pressure point to relax the muscle tension. For me, the therapist would put extra pressure and longer time on my shoulder. Oh my goodness, it was good and oh man..i miss those moment. >.<'

After the whole body massage, the regime continues to head massage that helps to ease the giddiness due to lacking of sleep (new mommy, any nods for this?) and also to helps any wind trap. 

 Once it is done on the back, I was told to lay on my back and the therapist start working on the front side, same goes like the back massage, it started with stretching the goes from toe and moving upward.

My therapist put this shit looking herbal on my forehead. It feels weird and warm in the same time.
She said this is to get the wind out of my head.
Interesting.

The highlight on the front side massage is the breast massage, yes you might feel awkward at first, but who cares about bobbies when you already let the whole labour room nurses see what's between the legs *grin* hehehe. ehem, anyway.. If you are breast feeding, or having a slow breast milk circulation like i do, this breast massage is a savior act. The massage technique helps to unblock the milk duct, promotes healthy milk circulation to avoid engorgement.

Another highlight is the tummy massage!

The massage on my tummy started with hot stone as a start to relax my tummy muscle and keep the wind away, and also breaks fat tissue. Another interesting function on this tummy massage is to promotes the intestine circulation, to ease constipation and help the womb to shrink faster.

You must have heard about how good ginger for a lady after giving birth, right?
Before my therapist ends my tummy session, she applied ginger cream to keep our tummy warm.
I love it.

Then the final steps of every session is the wrapping time :)

Believe me, it works to keep your flabby tummy in place for a good 6-8 hours.
The support on my back while i was wrapped is amazing, i often feel back pain whenever I am carrying the lil love, and this wrapping helps me a lot.

So yeah, that is the whole regime of every session of the post natal detox massage I experienced from preg massage. Do stay tuned with me for more preg massage experience :)

Oh, Lil love is going to get his very first massage with preg massage as well!

I'll keep you guys updated.

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!
