Surprising Aromas

There are many things that can bring back memories and the feeling of joy. The easiest one is from photography. We take pictures to let the moment stay and to always be there to be remembered and also to make our days joyful. But I also have this unique (I guess a bit weird) habit, that can actually make me remember the old days or just give some more colors to my day. Which is from…  aromas. All sort of aromas. The smell of magazines, new books, guava fruits, new shoes, and pretty much everything! You know, these smells just have its own uniqueness that can totally make my day. Like for these hot sunny days right now, tropical & fruit smells are my favorite! And I guess I can’t be luckier because I just found the perfect aroma combination that can accompany my summer days, and i thank myself to this Agnez Reve Eau de Parfum!

 This new released perfume by Agnes Monica that has a slight mixture of floral fruity dewberry & tropical mango did a great job making a fresh vibe. This kind of combination is made from various unique aromas of prune, cassis, and tearose. Well actually, it has 3 stages of composition,  they are the top notes (green,pineapple,mango,orange,dewberry), middle notes (jasmine,freesia,prune,water lily,tearose,cassis,passin fruit), and bottom notes (musk, amber,peach,caramel,vanilla). I couldn’t possibly realize that this lightening fresh aroma came from a very unique combination. But the only thing I know for sure is that these combination of fruits & sweets successfully made my day! 

But sometimes, u cannot only judge a perfume from 1 side of view, which is only from its smell. U also need to know a bit more deeply about them. Like myself, I’m the type of person who only buys 1 type of perfume for a lifetime, so I have to make sure that i chose the right one.

So ever got puzzled between the differences of Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, and just perfume? I used to, but I finally know the differences, because well for a person like me I think it’s pretty important to know about these things. Ok so Perfume (Parfum), it is the strongest fragrance available, consists of a 15-30% concentration of perfume essence. This means that not only do you need to use less, but also that the fragrance lasts longer, typically for up to 6 hours, depending on skin type. Then Eau De Parfum (EDP), It is lighter than Perfume, with an 8-15% concentration, but still has long lasting characteristics, from 3 to 5 hours. It is less expensive than pure perfume. There is also Eau De Toilette (EDT), It is lighter than EDP, with a 4-8% concentration of the essence. It usually lasts for 2 to 4 hours. Lastly Eau De Cologne (EDC), It is lighter than EDT, often referred to just as Cologne and has the greatest dilution of fragrances with a 3-5% concentration of perfume essence. It usually lasts for 2 hours. Choosing the right perfume is between easy and not so easy. But the only thing u have to consider is ur needs. Which type actually suits ur daily activities? Do u need the ones that lasts the whole day or perhaps u only need a much more lighter one. Now I guess u know which one u have to choose, right?

So since this Agnez Reve is a type of Eau de Parfum that lasts for 3-5 hours, it’s a good thing to keep it close by and to always bring it wherever u’d like to go. But considering its slim body, I think u wouldn’t face any trouble carrying it.

 There’s so much uniqueness in this perfume. Its elegant design paired with the lime green liquid in it is very…brave. But well, being brave is actually something really important and something that we need to have in ourselves. Just like this perfume’s own philosophy, it is inspired by the perfect collide of beauty  and the braveness in pursuing a dream. What I most like about this perfume is that not only does it make u smile and happy the whole day with its fresh aroma, but it also urges u to be brave and go out for ur dreams. The aroma just somehow makes u more spirited, the spirit we all need to do our daily activities and pursue our dreams. It seems that Agnes Monica also wants us to achieve the success of life, just like herself. I couldn’t ask for a much better inspiration. 

So I do think that this is the kind of perfume that we all need. And good news for all of u! U can get the same perfume like mine and can also feel the same freshness and spirit by ordering it at Blibli.com! Blibli.com is having a wonderful promo, so u can order this Agnez Reve Eau de Parfum in a cheaper & easier way! But u also have to know that it is…. Limited girls. I’m pretty sure that these were made for all special woman out there . Sooo go ahead and CLICK CLICK

Duo Bonds

In days like this, days where u spend most of the time at home, it's a good thing to keep a good relationship with... ur sister

So we were really enjoying these new novel book we just got. Well as u can see that it's all about fashion and also stories of dream catchers, in the meaning of people going for their dreams. I'm probably fed up with some school books that i've been "holdin on" for the past entire time, so it's a good thing to just let my mind relax and serve it with books full of imagination. The story is very lightening and has a very adventurous plot, u can actually feel the Paris atmosphere by just reading it, because it explains very detail about the whole surroundings also with its French words. But i'm not going to spill it out all here because it'll be waaay better if u read it on ur own! U can these books over at PT. Bentang Pustaka to start an imaginary adventure :)

The patterns & colors on these twinny tops are very rich! Glad these top from Main Street Store came by, to give more variations to my closet. To be honest, to me, no matter how simple the cuts and design of an apparel is, as long as it has the creativity of using patterns&colors, the result will be an ultra hit! So 1 for Sabrina, and 1 for moi!

It's a good thing to keep our stuffs in proper places, but also we want a cute looking "place" to put it. I've seen many in stores but i just can't stand the price. So then i thought out a way to..... make one instead! This one only cost me... Rp 26.000 :)

Here are what you need:

- 2 Carton boards (make sure u choose the hard ones, so it would be strong enough to hold on to ur stuffs. You can find the big sized ones in various stationary stores or gramedia, the price range is Rp 6.000 - Rp 13.000 each)

- 3 Patterned wrapping paper (u can find these everywhere!! bookstores, scrap stores, stationary stores, everywhere! the price range is Rp 1.000 - Rp 4.000)

- Polypropylene Ribbon ( in Indonesia it is usually called "Pita Jepang", but u can use any kind of ribbon! The price range for 1 roll is Rp 5.000- Rp 10.000)

- Glue (try to use the super sticky ones, like aica aibon or super glue. but u have to be super tidy and careful when using them)

Here are the STEPS:

 Super easy 10 steps right?? But what u have to concern here is that cutting out the carton board is 1 heck of a job... which means it's hard! U will need extra energy and 1 (very) sharp scissor. Becareful though.

 Soooooo goodluck!! :D

You Still Care?

(My Current Artwork, dedicated to yesterday's International Free Tobacco Day)

It has always been a beautiful feeling, when u can see someone committing to change for the good, for its own good. Many people speak out loud and spread news for people to quit smoking, but did they actually pay attention to their close ones first?

I've been in a situation where i tried to convince a person i care much about to stop damaging itself. it was HARD. It took months and years, until that person decided to... change.
It was more of a step-by-step change, and because of some pushes. Some people just need to get a slap on the face, to realize things. But as long as it's affective, then they really do need those slaps.
I give my standing ovation to people who are willing to change, and stop. Because it's something faaaaar from easy, but that didn't mean it's impossible. it IS possible :)

The matter of time

 These photos were taken in the morning, where things were just calm and exciting to start the day.

But we can never predict the future, and we'll never know when a meteor is going to crash the planet. It's just a matter of time, when things could turn all the way around.

I'm pretty sure that god wants me to struggle first, before getting the best. God didn't want me to feel too excited, because god wanted me to face the "real" life. This is all a new beginning.
