How I Shave My Bikini Area

Around my shaving routine because I have a coarse and dark hair over my body which is needed to be shave once a week or two week. After I posted about shaving my legs and feet yesterday, I was thinking to make one more or two or three more subject.

Bikini area. Don’t get me wrong I was not going to talk about porn or something risky. Bikini are very sensitive part to be shave and you really need to be careful and very very careful. The underlined is to be very very very careful. Here’s the tips based on my experience to get nice, smooth, pain free shave your bikini line and bikini area :

1. In my case, I choosed a clean & clear mons pubis. I don’t really like make a landing strip and heart shape. I need to keep it nice and simple as far as I can. And I’m choosing a very simple mons pubis, too.
2. Cut your pubic hair using a scissors, nicely. In my case, don’t ever try to cut your pubic hair if your pubic hair is short. It will be painful.
3. Start you washing routine and make sure your pubic hair and bikini line & area is wet enough. It will helps you to have a smooth shave. You can also soak in the tub for a while, if you has it.
4. After your pubic hair is wet enough, then apply some shaving cream or gel over it. In my case I applied a thick layer of shaving cream and let it soft about five to ten seconds. I don’t know, it just helps me. A little advice if you want to invest on shaving cream or gel make sure your shaving cream or gel are non-foamy soap. Or you can just using a regular shaving cream.
5. Once again! RAZOR. Even unused razor is more nice to get a nice & smooth shave. If you didn’t own it or something make sure that your razor: clean, sharp and CLEAN. In my case, after shaving my bikini area once or twice time that’s the time to change my razor and make sure that your razor has an Aloe Vera on it and it designed for women.
6. I used to think that shaving my bikini are is pretty much same when shaving my legs & feet: shave against the gain. But this time, you have to be very careful and shave with long, slow and even strokes in the direction. Do not pulling the blade too hard into your skin.
7. Remove as much hair from mons pubic as you like. I like to shaving it clean. So I shave it all.
8. After you finish shaving, pat your bikini are using a soft dry towel. Don’t rush. You don’t want have a red bumps or irritation.
9. Then pat your bikini are with baby powder and baby lotion after it. It will reduce of any irritations.
10. Shave your bikini are periodly. If you want a hair-free mons pubis then you need to shave it routinely, in my case I’m shaving it about once a week.

That’s it. All you have to do is CAREFUL and CAREFUL. In my case, I put a mirror when I was shaving my bikini line and make the mirror as my guide to shave. I asked my mom's help to that and now I'm using mirror which I place them with my hands. And if you find any missed spots, all you have to do is repeat the entire steps and make sure that you apply thick layer of shaving cream or gel. Somehow, you will be need to invest in shaving cream or gel to get a safe and pain-free and smooth shave. I didn’t using my dad’s shaving cream anymore when shave my bikini area, because they quite too regular cream 'shaving' and I can't bring my self to regret about injuring my bikini area. I'm using an Vaseline Aloe Vera lotion by the way, I just really can't find any sensitive shaving cream. Otherwise that I will using Veet and I'm not really comfortable use that because I can't find any warning or instruction if Veet can be use for shaving bikini area. And also, there's a little tips after you're shaving your bikini area: don't wear any skin tight clothes like skin tight jeans, legging, or stocking. It will be hurts will be somehow irritated you. And don't ever wearing some tights underwear after you shave. Beware of any red bumps after you shave, in my case I even have some of them. But now, I reduce them using baby powder or Aloe Vera gel/lotion. If you want a hair-less or hair-free look then you will need a periodly shaving time or maybe you can lookin' forward to laser removal which is will allows you to get a hair-free look. I've heard that mons pubis hair does an amazing job when inhibited some bacteria or fungus will be causes some disease.

This bikini area shaving requires more careful steps. Here you can see the complete tutorial. What do you think? I recently keep on track with Wiki How posts. Have you ever shave your bikini area? And how did you do it? Let me know!

How I Shave My Legs & Feet Hair

I have a coarse and curly hair on my body (don't laugh but I have a few hair over my navel and it was kinda funny!). It was a genetic from my Dad which is known had a Middle East blooded on his so it came over me and I feel so blessed! That’s become my point and my id: she’s got a coarse hair and she’s on it. And I’ve been dealing with ‘shaving time’ since I was 13. At 13 my parents allowed me to do shaving over my armpit and legs. I have to tell you about it that my legs is looks scary when they didn’t got shaved up for less than a month. OMG! Maybe the myth is kinda true, if you ever shave your hair they will grows faster. But not in head hair.

So, after a serial of mistaken I did during the shaving time and there is alot lesson I learned around shaving your hair, body hair. I injured my armpit during shaving time, I injured my feet when I was too rushing, and there is a thousand scarfs on my legs when I was shaving.

Here’s the tips if you want to shave your hair using a manual razor (I used it and I never used an electric razor) :

1. Razor is your weapon. Please make sure that your razor is clean, sharp and undamaged. In my case, I have three different razors: armpit razor, bikini area razor and legs + feet razor. My tip is if you’re the shaving girl, you have to make sure that every single razor you had is specified. And you have to change your razor everytime you feel the blade pulling or catching when you shave. Buy you’ll get a best result if using new razor!
2. Bath before shaving. It’s also important to keep your legs / feet / armpits are wet properly about two – three minutes. And DO YOUR NORMAL WASHING ROUTINE BEFORE YOU SHAVE. I scrubbed my shaving area using body scrub to unpeel a dead skin for a good shave.
3. Take a seat or your legs against the wall. I don’t have bath tube or shower in my bath room so basicly I spread my one legs to the water tube. My water tube is not too tall so I got a perfect position to shave. Again, in my case I let my legs bent so I can easily reach my ankles.
4. Apply a shaving cream / conditioner / baby shampoo. I’m using Dad’s shaving cream and it has kinda lemon extract on it and also smelt good and I read that it has moisturizer on it. And why conditioner / baby shampoo? Conditioner will allows your hair to get moisturizer and smoother to make you easier to shave. As well as baby shampoo. But in my case if I couldn’t find a shaving cream or my bath room is used and I need to be shave as soon as possible, I’m using lotion and just layered a thick coat of lotion then shave it up then rinse it out using warm towel.
5. Shave it from the bottom of your legs: ankles. And remember to always shave them with a long strokes upwards and against the gain, and DON’T RUSH. If you’re rushing your skin will get injure and I’m sure you don’t want it to happen!
6. Ankles them feet. Just repeat the step when shaving your ankles. From bottom to top.
7. If you’re finished with one legs just repeat the same entire process to your other legs. I’m not recommended that you will be straightly shaving your other legs after you’re finished with the other legs.
8. Checked (and rechecked) your missed spots. Run you fingers to your legs to feet and if you found there is a missed spots repeat the process. When you’re done rinse them off, towel them off using a warm towel are recommend.
9. Don’t stop. It has to be moisturizing as well. Use an oil (for body not cooking oil!), a moisturizer or lotion or baby powder. In my case I’m using Vaseline Aloe Vere Lotion to reduce the red bumps or scarfs. I also rubbed an ice cube on my legs to make them rests.
10. (Optional) If I ever getting lazy to starting a shaving time which will be takes time. I purchased Veet (Sensitive skin) which is soooo mush easier and faster too. Otherwise I want to having a shaving time then I always picked up for some cute and bright colored razor. A woman razor is regularry pink.

I'm sooo happy that I finally can describe tutorials over my words and I'm sooo happy about it. Finally my point about A Week Without Pictures Challenge are grown. Next day my post is going to be about 'eyebrow'.

Thanks to Wiki How for this tips and also there is a tutorials too. I was one of people are helping by your post. I just go clicked a related links. For you guys in case you’re curious with this article you can just go click here to see the complete article. Enjoy!

P.S. : Asking parent’s or mom’s permission ARE very important. Mine, took about a few months to finally my mom knocked her head which is the sign: yes. Please if you’re young and never been shaved before do this under adult’s surveillance.

How We Met, and How It Goes...

Yesterday, my boyfriend was home already and he stopped to my house right away he arrives. We sat in my living room, cuddling & forehead kissing. I’ve never felt this before, this is the first time I ever missed him this much. He went out for three days to work. Maybe I became too over at all. Remember how close we were, we can texting all day and had a phone calls in night. I’m not the type who can handling my hands and ears on the phone. I’m more to texting person. I would like to tell the story about us a little bit.

We met three years ago when he texted me when recess time. I was on high school that time and I was around sixteen. My classmate, Hajid, introduced him to me and he asked him to text me first. Hajid already told me that someone would to text me. So I reply right away and we texted until school finish. Which is we texted sooo long. One day, I didn’t reply his messages, he kept texting me. At that time, I’m not ready to open up a relationship because I just broke up with my ex boyfriend about one year ago.

One Saturday he asked me to go out to date. I was picking the place, and I thought: book store. At that time, I really become a book junkie who loves to go to book store at downtown. I can see that he wasn’t a book person after all, because he don’t know where to go and what book to read. Okay, I was thinking maybe he’s not my type. We don’t have any chemistry in the air in our first date. I remembered that I was wearing white blouse, white flip flops & blue jeans. I curlied my hair like gorgeus ways. Which I prepared my self nicely. And he was wearing short and ugly sweater. I saw straightly at him and thinking: OMG that was just sooo ugly.

In our second date, we went out to running in the morning. I met my friend with her boyfriend and I introduce ‘him’ as my friend. But she is knew the sign I made for. I was wearing my army hot pant. We had a breakfast at Soto Ayam. I remember that he gave me his wallet to pay our meals. At on the way home, he told me that he doesn’t like my pant because it was way too short. We continued texting all day long. One day he calls me ‘honey’ and ‘babe’. I’m sort of wondered what the heck was that? He tells me that he likes me. Okay, I’m okay with that. We met again in out third date. We went to theater watching movie. I don’t really remember what film we watched. Again, I stopped to a book store to see the new arrivals. At on the way home, again he told me he doesn’t like my skirt. I was wearing white skirt and pink sabrina. And that day was his birthday. I noticed it when I looked up to his Facebook page. I’m soo free to not giving him a present.

I was invited him at his birthday party. The party was on his place. The food was sooo great and nice. I love seafood! When we were all alone at his living room waiting for his friends and people coming, he told me that he likes me and he wants to be my boyfriend. I said, yes. So I came home and I marked January 19th ever since.  Then when my friend is hosting a birthday party and he became my date that time so I introduced him as my boyfriend. I took a picture and set them to profile picture on Facebook and people are go crazy. So that time I pronounced him as my lover.

We’ve been together for these past three years and I felt so happy about it. We broke up and get back together like alot, I mean there is no a smooth relationship all the time. I’m seeing someone elses when we broke up but none is ever getting too deep except of him. So did his. We’ve been through bad and good times as a boyfriend-girlfriend together. We had our ‘alay’ moments, sad moments, happy moments and thrill moments, as well. I think all relationship does. That’s the art of relationship. Now, that we know each other stands, character and our stuff, goodly. I wrote a book of our first two years together as his nineteenth birthday present. And also I gave him ‘sarung’, ‘peci’, and ‘tasbih’ that I hope he will be pray more often. He was so happy about it and when the last time I come to his room, he kept them over her desk. It was displayed. He makes me proud. I mean anything I’ve done to him is treated nicely. Insya Allah, we will be planning our engagement party next year. We haven’t discussing this with my family and his family, as well. Let it flow. We have so many good plans about our future together.

He is my best friend. I love him so much.

So today, I would like to introducing him, please meet Dhiarbima Adi Yuwono.

Our Lebaran Day

A Week Of Without Pictures Challenge, day 3!

Are you guys ready for the lebaran euforia? All the sounds, all the crowds, all the shoppings, all the lebaran days? If you're not Moslem that's okay because when you had a friends who celebrates lebaran you will be follow the waves! I'm sure you must be celebrating lebaran with family and friends even you are not Moslem!

We’re having a fabolous lebaran every single year with our family. It was such a fun. We came to grand house (she is the only grand we had and she is not becomes great grand mother!) and just gather there and shares lebaran happiness. During the lebaran morning, what I like the most is me and family were having a little tradition called ‘sungkeman’. After Idul Fitri shalat in the morning, we were nesting in our living room and closed the door. My mom will be sungkeman with my dad at first because Dad is the oldest man in the family and our Dad and Mom’s husband so he always got the honored. Then my mom will be sitting beside dad and my sister turns and me. We kept it as our family tradition. We don’t have to mudik when lebaran because grands is living in the same city as us.

Last year, sister’s husband was joining us to our tradition but then mom told my sister to kept it original. Sister’s husband is allowed to having sungkumen after we finishes. I love this tradition because it will be trafficing a sad feelings in the air and this is a moments what makes us a family, I think.

Then we visit our neighbor houses who stayed home. Most of them are went mudik, already. We tasted a little treats of cookies! Sometimes I tied my camera on my wrist just to make sure I took every moments.

But before the lebaran morning. We went to grand house to see a Malam Takbir. It was always been fun to capture the ceremony at grand house because since I was a little girl I’ve always having this moment every year with my sister and cousins. Now when we are grown up, we still having a little moments of this the differences is they already had a kiddos which is so much more fun. I often to stood by and watch my sister and cousins when we are all grown up. I feel so blessed we had our grandmother beside us and she had a loooong age and I hope she still had it all untill I have a family of my own. We still had a little something-something to steal ‘kembang mangga’.

Two or three years ago I ordered my families to be worn white as our lebaran outfits. Turns out, not everyone wearing white they like a colorful outfits. Dad, Mom, sister and I (before my brother born) are wearing white and it was kinda back to clear canvas when lebaran. Last year, I wore white maxi dress too. In case you want to know my last year’s lebaran outfits you can see them here. I'm a fashion girl sometimes, I think about how I dressed when lebaran becauseeee we're about to meet the whole family and guess what? Dress are important, for me.

The most exciting was when my aunties and uncles giving us (the youngest member. Somehow I still one of them!) a little treats on the envelopes: money. I just love it. This is what I up to for lebaran. But maybe I can’t be expecting that I would have to get money at lebaran too much. Lebaran is about the winning day of Moslem when fighting on with thirstiness, angriness and patientness for 30 days.

I totally can not wait to see this day coming! I miss the adzan sounds all the time, and the cookies, Opor, and lebaran stuff.

Next time I will be challenged my self to make Opor Ayam. It is a traditional lebaran cuisine. I’ve heard that Indonesian cuisine is the hardest cuisini to make. But I have to try it. Mom sister and I will make Opor Ayam few days from now. Soooo excited!!!

How about you guys? Have you planned your lebaran day? What's your lebaran's tradition? :)

A Week Of "WITHOUT PICTURES" Challenge

Hey friends! How are you today? I’m good, like very good.

Just like they say about ‘girls philospoy’ something sounded like ‘girls went to shopping’. And, yes, it does. As i mentioned in my previous post about I was about to having a little break and went shopping with my girl, Ina. Yes, I did it! And I loved it. Who doesn’t love shopping? Even I’m not kinda a new arrivals seeking about clothes, but in some cases I will placed my self for shopping.

So, today I challenge my self about posting on my blog without pictures. Ina asked me to. She is kinda getting too tired captured me clicking a shutter button, all the time, everytime I catch a good dresses and stuff. She figures it out why I always tied my camera around my wrist when I walked by. I want to make something really good on my blog. People love to see a good cute pictures. It is becomes like the bonus, isn’t it?

Today is a busy day. Why? I went to bank to saving money, and the weather is kills me, as hell. Even know, I don’t know what is it in hell. My feet are burning, they printed my sandals shape in V. OMG! I have a zebra skin. I realized there is new products claimed that they can make my skin four times brighter than before: Vaseline Insta Fair. Okay, I got the product. And Clean N Clear, too. I’m an influenced girl on ads. So try to influences me. I swatched Vaseline over my legs. To be honest, nothing’s change. It doesn’t look brighter as they promised. Sadly.

I scheduled today is for shopping. I went to Carrefour and buy a few things: Pepsodent Sensitive Espert System Kit (I got a great prices too! It contains  in Pepsodent Senstitive tooth brush, Pepsodent Sensitive tooth paste and Pepsodent Sensitive Mouthwash for 23.000K!), Baguette (Apologized! I’m not fasting today, I’m having period), and Teh Kotak.

This is not my monthly shopping routine so I took an emergency products.

After finished grocery shopping. We moved to Paragon Mall for lunch. I choosed Solaria for my lunch, because Solaria had a friendly prices and nice taste too. I’m having Rice + Chicken Katsu Teriyaki. Tasted soooo nice.

We finished lunch, and I was opening my eyes to any Spongebob clothes as a gift to my little brother. I love giving gift. But every baby and kids clothes store don’t have a Spongebob. I was searching for second list: new journal book. But nothing’s is interested me at Toko Gunung Agung. Third list: ear cover or I don’t know what is it called. You know the head band for covering your ears when winter comes. I’m having plan to go somewhere cold this August (which I planned to share my plans tomorrow)! Fourth list: beanie. Again, nothing’s good enough. For me, I don’t really like a girl stuff which is too feminime. But I like pink. Not too much.

Today’s shopping day is went smoothly. I enjoyed my time with Ina. We walked by and our hands is holding each other hands and people staired at us in funny. They might have some thoughts if we were a thing. But it is not. We love holding hands, that’s what best girl friend for. And we stopped by Pameran Batik at the first floor. I was in love with a strapless mini Batik dress. As i looked to the price tag: 3.500.000K. OMG! Kill me now!

I was thinking about my lebaran shopping! I missed to do it again! How about you friends? How was your shopping time? :)
