"It's About Mel"

I grew up where I have no siblings but I'm lucky enough to have cousin that is literally like my sibling. From fight over which cartoon is the best, who's more awesome than the other, fight over a new year trumpets and share a bowl of chocolate chips mint Baskin Robbins ice cream.

When I decided to leave Bali and come to Australia it was so exciting, first thing popped up in my head was " God finally I have a new life and for once not always being with Mel!!" You know what, after a month being abroad I miss Mel my stupid, silly, inefficient cousin/sister so badly. 

I realised no one I can screamed at because she took so long just to get ready (trust me it's ridiculous! Especially when she wash her hair!), can't picked on her stupid decision and the worst is I miss being around her and do something so simple such as buying frozen yoghurt just because it's a hot weather (like it's always been in Bali 36 degrees for life all day everyday YOLO), driving in the night and see our stars which I can't see here, take a ride to the beach with our motorbike just because something upset us and eat ice cream while watching sunset.

Last month she decided to come for a visit and it was one of the best week I've had this year, being abroad for almost 4 years and things has not getting easier and to see face that you know all of your life it's like a piece of ease (Mel please don't get it as a different context!). 

To everyone that living abroad, live far away from your family and friends all I can say is, it's never will be the same like being home but we turn our small circle of friends into a family, we turn problems into experience so next time we can help people when they need it, people come and go and it's just the way life should be don't blame yourself for it, we appreciate making random call to family and friends and we appreciate small things just like how I actually miss silly stuff that Mel always does whereas usually it will pull out all my nerves.

So " It's about Mel" make me learn how to appreciate small things, keep grounded, focus in positive things instead counting the bad things and I can't be more grateful to have a sister like her, love you to the moon and back!!
It's 3 weeks left till I got home to Bali and see everyone and making more memories and see my silly sister again.

PS. This winter temperature is ridiculous!!!

 Summer Essentials

Summer is almost come to an end here in Australia it is a little bit too late for me to discuss about this but, I think it is worth to share.

There are few products that are really good to use during summer my favourites are definitely Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration and Midnight Recovery Serum. Sometimes you buy few products and it cost a fortune and it doesn't work while Kiehl's actually working.

Applying the ultra facial cream for intense hydration in your face before you apply your sunscreen will moisturise your skin while stay under the sun and after you go to the beach to recover your skin after those hours of tan session at the beach, trust me you can feel it the your skin absorb the cream really fast since it hydrate while you are under the sun.

Not only the moisturiser that worked but also the midnight serum as easy as apply 3 drops of the serum before you go to bed and it visibly restore your skin appearance by morning. It also contains lavender oil, evening primrose oil and it is 99.8% naturally-derived and paraben-free.

I placed few others products as well in this post which includes, Body Shop with the tea tree to help blemish skin, Napoleon Perdis mascara and eyeliner that i got as Christmas presents which i really love (thanks Honey and Kawangi!!) , Lush bath bomb and some everyday essential such as The Horse Watch and my friendship bracelets which my friend in Bali Sisca gave me from her fun trip in South East Asia.

It is less than two months before summer end, hope everyone enjoy their times and making heaps of memories. Go to the beach, go hiking and do not forget to protect your skin from the sun!

Denims and Etceteras

 By the time weekend comes there are so many things that I have to do, from doing my laundry, studying, do my groceries and heaps of to do list that need to be squeeze in within 48 hours! I always use my Saturday morning to have a morning run and then going out in the night but, on Sunday it is definitely a relaxing day that I spend with watching movies, having brunch or just having a nice coffee in the afternoon with my friends.

This time I include denim as one of my favourite what to wear on Sunday, I think most of us found it difficult to find those perfect jeans.

If it is fit perfectly it will be over price and do not match with your budget (especially if you are student like me) or sometimes it fits in your thighs but not your waist and so on.My suggestion looking for perfectly fit jeans is always have your options wide open, browse few different brands and make sure your jeans not strict you to move around such as picking up stuff from the ground!

I found this ribbed boyfriend jeans at Ally, it was on sale just for $20!! Once I tried it was perfectly fit on me and this jeans just match with anything from basics top, white t-shirt, crop tops, boots, sandals and heels it just one of those thing that you will wear for any occasion. So yay for the good bargain!

I think Sunday need to be relax and comfortable so I also include few essentials that I would love to use especially in this summer temperature.

Happy weekend!

Love
