BOYFRIEND GIFT GUIDE

I've been in relationship with amazing guy for three years and I've learned a secret of giving a gifts to him, or to a boyfriends of yours. It's no secret actually, but most of us (a girlfriends) is giving up when your boyfriend's birthday is about to come or in case you have a little tradition with him to exchange gift in your anniversary. Finding a perfect gift to your boyfriend is not really that hard, yet not easy. Now I'm learning the art of boyfriend gift and discover the secret. I got these guide from Elle.

1. Start with a little simple gift to your boyfriend, such as maybe phone case, or sunnies. He will like it I guarantee it. But maybe you can start out with something more simple, like maybe a scarf? It has a good point, in case this is Summer, you give him a scarf because you want to still with him to Autumn or Winter.
2. You want to move into a higher level. Why not give him a nice wine or beer you might enjoy it for two? You have to know what kinda wine he likes or what kinda beer he likes. Make him bar space with a little taste of yours.
3. Now that you know about him, more. Let's be involved in his daily routine. Give him a shave set, or a perfume that he addicted to or maybe you can give him a perfume you picked it up for him, a cologne, bar soap, deodorant will makes him smell good maybe. Let's be more pay your attention to his face, give him a face wash or men face kit. It never go wrong.
4. He's now trust you, good news! Give him a nice (maybe leather) sling bag, a multifunctional bag will be better. Sport bag or backpack is perfect for him. I believe your boyfriends love sport, you can give him a sport bag in his favorite soccer team.
5. It's all about the stationary. You noticed him using the same ballpoint and binder since you were dating, get him new stationary in bright color, like blue or the color he likes. I bought my boyfriend a ballpoints and binders everytime I went for stationary shopping, he layed on me in stationary stuff now. It's good finally I hold his trust.
6. Pay more attention to his foot wear. He believe on you to picking up his style. Now, let's have a match Converse with him. Spread up your masculine mode, pick red or yellow or light blue! You'll be rock on your step and people will think you two perfect for each other.
7. It's dance night and a sit down diner for two you and your boyfriend celebrating something. Why not: bow tie or tie match to your dress? He'll like it for sure. Nothing's go wrong with a nice lux ties.
8. You and your boyfriend spend your night watching TV and soccer games and there's a big game and it's local, all you have to do is get him a tickets and make sure he'll get a nice close view. He thank you after and maybe he will make a surprise by get you a tickets for a movie you've been waiting for.
9. It's his birthday, you already gift him bag, shoes, scarf, tie and stationary, now what? Time to go luxe watches. It will cost you more, be sure you get a affordable prices. Why not give him a wooden luxury watches? You be amaze him.
10. It's winter time and rainy days. Time to go warmer stuff, like jacket or sweater. Be sure it's warm it's kinda show how much you love him by sweater (I don't know what I'm talking about)
11. Back to fashion where you passion built. I think jeans and trousers. It's nice and cool and your boyfriend will love it I bet he will. Rebel old-fashioned jeans just great.
12. My boyfriend is addicted to flannel shirts, he had a bunch of flannel shirts hanging on his closet. Once I went shopping with him and I decided to got him a nice new bright flannel shirt which he really love until now. SO I can say flannel shirts, why? Guys love it girl. Even I love a flannel shirts, to be honest.
13. You're getting a little obsession on his style and you want to make it personal and plus you noticed that his wallet soo soooo soo ugly and it turns to pale color. It is time to wallet shopping!
14. He loves hat, especially snapback hat. It comes naturally that you want to give him one and it also comes naturally to pick a nice light color hat, I can say.
15. Soccer, football and basket is on his blood. Now, you need to searching a tumbler, towel, tshirt, a basket balls, or maybe a soccer shoes, wrap it nicely and make a surprise by putting your nice wrapped gift on his bed.
16. Bed sheet, make it personal girls! Maybe it starts up with a bed sheet the bed will be yours, and again I don't know what I'm talking about.
17. Costumize his headphones to fit his personal style, you can even get a matching headphones.
18. Books never (can) go wrong to guys. Let's start with a sport magazine, and then an auotomotive magazine, and books finally. My boyfriend doesn't reading a book, so I could simply get him magazine he likes.
19. Now you've payed attention, you want to move to more luxury things like gadget, why not give him an iPhone if you can afford them, or why not give him a Blackberry, or Android phones, or just a simple classic iPod? Like it?
20. There's more gifts you can give to your boyfriend. To final guide of mine, take him for a romantic vacation for two. Booked a plane tickets, a hotel room, a resort spa, an amusement park tickets, or anything you'll need to complete your romantic trip.

Good luck girls and you know what the decisions are all on you hands.

Eid Mubarak - Day Seven

Last day of lebaran euforia. To be honest, at day seven, I stayed home all day long, just stucking in my bed room and laziest girl in home. But this is my holiday version.

I found my purse is like a pieces of trash! All trash! What am I gonne do? Of course make them tidy and go organize my own stuff. I think last day of lebaran is the perfect time (for me) to have a nice quick tidying up.

Just look at that picture above? I think it was lovely in the outside, it has kinda animal skin leather (faux) details, I even fell in love with this bag at first sight, for sure. I even had a little fight with a woman for this bag hihi.

Look at that trash? Bill papers, hair band, lipstick + body lotion + body mist & handsinitizer(what?), hair brush, wallet, anything unseen and everything goes? Did you notice that photos? Uh. And what makes everything getting wild is everything on my wallet was loading to it. BUT don't worry, there's a way to make them tidier, nicer, cleaner, in less than 10 minutes or maybe 5 minutes!

Kindly reposted your stuff into its own sections: in my case daily survival kit (Vaselina Serum, Belia Body Mist, Oriflame Hand Cream, Johnsonn Handsinitizer, Maybelline Lipstick, Oriflame Kajal Liner. Because I just need to carrying a few of them, I don't really need any case such as clutch and stuff. I put it on the smaller space on my bag. It usually at the bottom of the zipper, generally. And hair brush, sunnies case, coin wallet. The most important thing is resection the entire things that supposed to be on inside the wallet.
It takes only five minutes or ten minutes to the max. It's very easy and soooo quick. What took me about 30 minutes is taking a pictures on it, hehehe.

There you go! You're good to go, now! My purse is now more clean, lighter, and clear as new (not 100& true!). I've always carrying that transparant box everywhere I go because it was basicly a very all-in-one case where I can put my lipstick, lipbalm, lipgloss, flashdisk, elastic band, pins, and spidol. See? It's much better than before, isn't it? I promise I'll make this keep clean and tidy as long as I can!
Tidying what's in your bags or purses stuff is highly recommend for make you easier to pick up your things on it. Love love!

Why You Should Love Vaseline!!

Okay guys. First of all, I've been using Vaseline since I was born. I mean when I was barely seven years old, I remembered that my mom using Vaselina, so did my sister. Because I was not allowed to using Vaseline that time, even I know they claimed Vaseline is safe for all ages.
I'm using Vaseline in my whole entire life. Once, I remember I'm using Vaseline Aloe Vera Lotion when I shaved my legs and feet.

This Vaseline Serum & Instafair suddenly becomes my best girlfriend. I'm not much for fairness or brightening products, but I'm an Ad girl. I always been diving to all Ad stuff. I purchased these two Vaseline last month. And somehow, it works.
I promise I'll be honest about this.
Most of you, must be wondering 'is that trus if Vaseline could change my skin into 4 time brighter than before?'; 'if I get it, am I one of those stupid girls who right away buy what's on this morning's Ad on the TV?' The answer is, it is all up to you. But if you decide to get these Vaseline, serum or just Instafair, I promise I guarantee it, you'll be just fine.
In my case, I'm lazy though. I don't wanna be too risky to trying around my lotion. I'm a loyal person. So everytime Vaseline launched a new lotion, I grabbed it on my shopping trolley. Just when they claimed that four times brighter, uh c'mon! Be real. I don't believe it. Turns out, I checked to Youtube and there's a dozen of people who reviewed these Instafair. So I catched by one of that waves. I decide to get it very soon. Even these Instafair were available on Indomaret & Alfamart. I can say, they were right about everything. I count on these Instafair, I promise. But FYI, you have to apply a thick layer of coat of Instafair. Once I applied a nice thin layer, I can't see any insta-bright on my skin. I repeat on thick layer, and now I know that Vaseline won't be lie to you, guys.
When you're about to apply these lotion, you can be straight away swimming or get wet, it will be faded. Even these lotion has an SPF on it, it is not a sunscreen or sunblock, people. You don't wanna be exposing your skin under the sun, it highly not recommended, I read the 'warning'. For the best result, you need to apply it twice a day. After shower, in my case did.
For the bestest result, I combined while using Instafair with Vaseline Serum. I always be true, and you have to trust me. I applied Serum before Instafair, and let it cool for one or two minutes after you applied it, and then apply your Instafair.
And why I had to let it cool after applied Serum? Over my dictionary, when I was about to applying two lotion is the first lotion it has got be absorbed to skin eventually and then the second lotion is about to covering for the best result. Even, I know Instafair has already moisturizered my skin nicey. I don't know, it just me.
Here's I had the demo:

First, I applied Serum, regular layer. 

Let it coooool for one t0 two minutes or 30 seconds just fine.

Then I applied Instafair, thick layer of coat. Nicely & evenly. 

 Here's the finish skin. Unedited, unautocolored. Or maybe you have to demonstrate it all by your self to see the real result. How's that?

Vaseline Instafair and Vaseline Serum both cost me close to 60K. I bought it both at Indomaret. Or you can get these on Carefour (the cheaper version). What do you think, eh? Interested to try? Just go try it on! Love.

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.

Wild Road, Wild Bike

Last Thursday we all gone to Salatiga attended our beloved uncle and his daughter will be married and she invited us all to witnessing her beautiful day. We took a road down and ride our bike nicely and i drove my bike nicely and properly. It was quite a long road and the weather was not friendly at all, all road long. We (sister, dad, mom, brother, sister, aunt and i) fight to weather and wind. And because it was quite a long road way, my sister and i had to prepare to every emergency cases so we brought all needed stuff into our purse. And, those ankle boot is the perfect choice to take a long bike road because it will cover my feet and keep them warm and protect from heat. We took a rest at Salatiga's mushola and take a deep breathe to contines our way. Just take a look Rakka! He still bringing his 'car' and he loves it.

Here we goes! The wedding is about to started and i placed my self right behind my mom and waiting to congrats the bride and groom. And, finally im eating something! There is wedding, then i can not missed to the outfits! Because i drove a bike, i didnt wear something unwearable like skirts, tanks, any accesories, or dresses.

 

Food was nice

And, this is might be the only time for us to met families at Yk. Which is always been like funny and happy moments every time we have met. Plus, i catched the moments when see my niece and nephew is growing up and my uncles, aunties, cousin. This is a RARE time we only had like once or twice a year.

Look at Chika! Isnt she the cutest?

Meet my cousin! Edo!

And take a look to my aunt (left) and my mom (right). They look soo sisters.

The wedding was over. We are all coming home BUT stopped by in my aunt's home (dad's younger sister) to resting and having a lunch plus dinner.

 Just unwrapped a wedding gift! SO useful

 I'm wearing: Blouse: City Girl, Jeans: Dual, Boots: Undiscovered

Lets sneek out to my aunt's lovely purse (is it clucth or purse?)

And, i just love any golden things and especially when they combined with black or dark color it makes them so much elegant and classic. I asked her if i can owned those clucth and she just said NO :p

And, i will give u all some tips if u want to take a bike road and have to drive for hours :

1. Make sure ur bike are good. Check ur wheels, oil condition, gas etc

2. Wear a jacket, glows, shocks, sneakers even better, face mask, and sunglasses. Jacket is for keep u warm or keep u screen out of sun, glows are for cover ur hands out of sun, shocks are for cover ur feet as well, sneakers are for make ur step more moveable even when u decide to to wear a flats its up to u!  Face mask, should i have to explain? Cover from a road dust of course! And sunglasses are for keep ur eyes nice and keep out of sun.

3. Bring water, snacks, tissue.

4. Bring plastic bags.

5. Bring a sandals and other needed shoes.

6. Be careful. In my case, i drove in fresh condition and ready to drive condition.
