Random : Hello, I am starting a new chapter in my life as first graduate!


Finally, new blog post!

Hi!

I am not dead. I am still alive. For the longest time, I am wondering about my future. I graduated in December 2017 from Binus University. I took International Relations as my major. I learned Politics and Diplomatic Relations between states. I really want to work in some organizations that connected with it but at the end, my heart is keep saying no.

I am not applying work at famous company or any office like my friends' do. I know that I am not able to work under someone else and working about something that I done truly love. My dad actually asked me to apply to his friend's company but I also declined the offer. I am sure that easily getting bored with routine is my biggest problem.

After long debate with myself and deal with stress, I decided to continue my business. I am teaching Korean language in @Korean101_id and I opened the study service for the first time when it was around 2015. I continue offer several study services such as private course, online class, TOPIK 1 lesson, and also study club. I am okay with this business, the market also grown bigger but I don't know until when Indonesian people would love to learn about this language. I believe that Education is never stop improving, I hope many people still love learning new things such as learning korean language. It is going to be a good opportunity for me.

If you really curious about Korean101 please check our instagram account!

Outside of that, I launched my instagram online store called @areumdaun.pibu, it means beautiful skin based on Korean language. I sell korean original skincare and beauty products. I learn that I don't need to think too much to start something that I actually like and concerned about. I really love selling something and offering people something. Idk why, but I really enjoy it.

***

I also need your support to make my business and efforts grow better.

I don't think to earn much money, you need to always work under someone else. I honestly earned more than most first graduates' income in Jakarta. I know that having our own business is quite hard and every month we can have different amount of incomes. Meanwhile, people who work in the office can earn mutual/the same amount of money every single month. 

But hey, if you are doing things like me... don't be afraid! Let's face it and show them that we can do better than just working under someone else's arm. If you are prefer working under someone, it doesn't mean your decision is wrong... it's just a matter of preference.

Wish me luck and I hope you discover your near plan!

Memulai Hidup Sehat dengan Minum Yogurt (ekstra: Bukti Foto Healthy Program)


Hello guys, kembali lagi sama Margaret disini!

Di blog post kali ini, aku mau cerita aja nih soal pengalaman nyata aku mengenai bentuk badan yang tidak proporsional khususnya daerah perut dan pola makan yang tidak teratur. Kalian pernah ga sih merasa sudah sibuk dan merasa pola makan sudah tidak teratur?

Sudah 1 bulan belakangan ini aku sibuk dengan aktivitas aku mengajar dan juga mengurus usaha aku yang baru. Ga kerasa kalau aku selalu pulang malam dan juga susah mengontrol dalam hal makan. Olah raga juga ga aku lakukan karena tidak ada waktu. Hal yang membuat aku bingung adalah aku selalu sibuk beraktivitas, tetapi perut tetep aja buncit. Seharusnya karena aku sering bergerak kesana kemari, logikanya harusnya aku ga akan buncit. Mungkin perut buncit ini ga keliatan karena aku selalu pakai baju mayoritas tertutup. Merasa bentuk badan di umur 23 tahun ini mulai tidak terjaga, akhirnya aku cari cara untuk bisa hidup sehat dan juga mengganti waktu olah raga dengan kegiatan aktif yang sama membakar kalori atau lemak jenuh di badan.

Aku baru sadar ternyata beraktivitas tanpa dudukung olah raga atau pola makan teratur dan sehat itu juga percuma untuk maintain / menjaga kondisi bentuk badan.

Akhirnya aku mulai merubah pola hidup aku. Aku dalam 1 bulan ini selalu bangun jam 9 pagi walaupun aku selalu memiliki jam kerja di atas jam 1 siang. Aku isi dengan sit up atau lari-lari kecil di rumah. Diawali sarapan buah dan juga banyak minum air putih. Kalau lapar banget, ya aku makan karbo sedikit seperti nasi dan lauk. Nah, kebetulan dulu aku selalu sedia yogurt di kulkas karena gatau kenapa selalu merasa lebih kenyang "sehat" dengan minum yogurt. Karena belakangan aku jarang peduli sama kesehatan, aku ga pernah lagi stock yogurt di kulkas.

Biasanya aku stock yogurt Heavenly Blush yang 3 rasa, Strawberry, Blackcurrant, dan Peach. Aku bahkan juga pernah membuat review waktu dulu karena aku penggemar berat dari brand yogurt ini. Karena rasanya ga terlalu manis, jadi enak kalau sesudah makan minum ini atau bahkan sebelum makan pun tetep enak ga buat kembung / mual / rasanya juga pas tidak kemanisan. Justru kalau kemanisan aku takut karena ga akan bawa perubahan ke badan. Adanya gula bisa naik lagi, padahal umur masih muda.

Nah akhirnya sebulanan belakangan ini aku kembali stock yogurt-yogurt di kulkas. Berasa kayak mba mba jualan yogurt di rumah. Ga masalah, yang penting ada asupan untuk memperlancar metabolisme badan dan buat lancar BAB. Dengan harapan perut buncit hilang dan lebih sehat lagi.




(Kalian bisa lihat kandungan nilai gizi di packagingnya dan packagingnya sangat travel friendly. Tidak mudah tumpah dan mudah dibawa kemana-mana. Cocok banget buat kalian yang sibuk kerja atau beraktivitas tetapi tetap mau bertekad hidup sehat!)


Aku cuma mau kasi tau Heavenly Blush ini juga mengeluarkan yogurt series namanya Greek Yogurt.  Semenjak ada seri ini, aku juga beli beberapa kotak untuk stock di rumah. Kebetulan orang rumah juga pada suka yang rasa classic ini.

Uniknya juga bisa langsung diminum dengan texture creamy dan kental kaya dengan nutrisi yang menjaga perut kita, memperlancar BAB, dan juga menutrisi vitamin dan lemak baik dalam tubuh.  Biasanya kan greek yogurt ini selalu hadir dalam bentuk cup / mangkok dan agak susah dibawa-bawa karena aku harus sedia sendok. Biasanya aku makan greek yogurt selalu aku bawa di tempat bekal dan dibawa-bawa setiap aku berangkat kerja, kali ini aku cuma perlu bawa 1 kotak dan dimasukin di tas setiap harinya.

***

Kalian mau lihat setelah minum yogurt dari Heavenly Blush terutama yang rasa classic dari Greek Yogurt seriesnya, perut aku berhasil perlahan kembali ke bentuk semula. Tentu didukung dengan banyak jalan kaki dan sit up atau olah raga ringan. Aku memang selama di rumah selalu olah raga ringan dan waktu menuju tempat kerja biasanya aku banyak jalan kaki. Jadi memang tidak tiba-tiba langsung hilang perut buncitnya. Ada jeda waktu 1 bulan dan ditambah aku rajin minum yogurt selama 2 minggu terakhir.

Ini aku ada perbandingan fotonya ya!

Bulan lalu perut aku masih terlihat buncit, Maret 2018 :


Sekarang aku menulis blog, tanggal 20 April 2018:


Aku sendiri pun ga percaya kalau kebiasaan hidup itu jika diperbaiki juga bener-bener ada hasilnya. Tapi tetep kebiasaan ini harus selalu dijaga teratur. Kalau engga pasti bentuk badan dan kesehatan akan jadi buru lagi. Ini foto tidak diedit sama sekali, aku foto pakai kamera handphone.

Cheating day aku setiap hari minggu dan biasanya aku bisa makan apa pun yang aku mau. Tetapi dari hari Senin sampai dengan Sabtu biasanya akan aku kontrol. Pagi jangan terlalu banyak nasi atau yang terlalu berat, siang aku makan kenyang, dan malam juga aku mengurangi nasi. Berhentilah makan sebelum terlalu kenyang kalau kata orang. Makan yang penting cukup, tidak berlebihan dan tidak kekurangan.

Nah kalau kalian gimana? Disela-sela kesibukan apa nyempetin berolah raga atau minum yogurt? Atau apakah kalian menjaga pola makan dan apa yang kalian makan?

Oia, Heavenly Blush juga lagi ngadain lomba sharing cerita unik kalian di blog dan sosial media platform loh! Hadiahnya bisa menangin tiket ke Yunani dan masih banyak lagi!

My Journey in Jakarta - KOPI KOTAKU + Simple OOTD










KOPI KOTAKU

Jl. Wijaya I No.73, RT.10/RW.1, Petogogan, Kby. Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12170

Opening Hours:
Monday - Sunday 9AM-9PM

Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! Long time no write (what kind of phrase is this lol). I want to put a good cafe review in Jakarta for some people who want to explore more about Jakarta and more good cafe to visit with your clients / business partner / family / your partner / yourself. I went to this cute cafe after I got a recommendation from my other friend from her social media. I really love to visit cute or aesthetically pleasing cafe. Even tho, I am not an aesthetic person or tumblr addict. I just easily getting bored with same place.

I usually grab my coffee in Starbucks which is nothing special. Everyone in this world knows Starbucks and I couldn't take good photo inside Starbucks because ... Starbucks interiors are all the same all over Indonesia. I don't know about the other country. I ever visited Starbucks in Thailand and their stores just the same as others. 

So let's get straight to the point about this cafe called KOPI KOTAKU. 

Interior and Concept:

They use Japanese minimalistic as their cafe theme. I am not knowing much about the art of coffee in Japan or Japanese related things, I just love the place because it's clean, simple, and a great place to take some pictures for your instagram feed or your own collection. Also the price is quite affordable, way cheaper than Starbucks. 

Food and Beverages:

I ordered Matcha or Green Tea Latte and my second drink was Coffee Milk or well known as Kopi Susu in Bahasa Indonesia. Also a single salted egg / cheese (I don't remember much) croissant. My friend also ordered Vanilla Latte and one cup of Kopi Susu. You can search on ZOMATO phone app about the menu and the price details. I couldn't write one by one all their menu here. 

Services:

Everyone who helped me and my friend with order is nice. Quick service and I have no complain. Wi-fi access is quite fast as well.

Beauty Review : Catrice DELUXE Glow Highlighter 010 The Glowrious Three





Hello guys, I am back with another beauty product review. This is my first time trying a highlighter palette or highlighter product in general from Catrice. Honestly I am not a fan of using highlighter, that's the reason why I am so picky with highlighter. Once I hate, I probably never want to use it again. Because what's the point using highlighter that has nothing to do on my skin right?

Let's come back and talk about this product!

Positive Points:
  1. Price is affordable. [I am pretty picky with price on makeup. Sometimes I spend more for high quality makeup, but not every time I will spend $50+ only for one product lately. I have some other things that I need]
  2. Compact packaging and it doesn't look "too cheap" as drugstore makeup.
  3. These 3 colors are great in every kind of skin tone in my thought. Because this product is suitable for makeup beginners who don't know much about where to apply highlighter and the real function of highlighter.
  4. You can see pretty much all details about this product at the back of the packaging. Also guide picture for makeup beginner.
  5. Travel friendly, you can carry on inside your makeup bag or traveling pouch. It's not heavy and you will get 3 colors in one palette.
  6. If you like less highlight pigmentation and really like "no makeup" makeup, probably you will love this!
Negative Points:
  1. I really want to try to love this product with all my heart. But I can't. The pigmentation is not really there. If you see from the swatches, you definitely can see 3 colors from this palette... it is because I am swatching those colors more than once. Unless you are pretty patient, you can reapply over and over again on your face until you see the highlight color pops out.
  2. The formula is not creamy and too powdery. Somehow it makes this product a little bit chalky.

Beauty Review : Innisfree Mineral Shading No.02 (Swatch on Hand & Face)





Hello guys! Welcome back again to my blog. Recently I am being into blogging and shopping. Shopping some beauty products and happy trying those one by one. I actually want to try this mineral shading from Korean Brand called Innisfree since long time ago. Because I am sticking with my current shading or contour powder from elf.... I started to think to search another product that I might love.

Here it is, the Innisfree Mineral Shading in No.02. For this series, Innisfree also produced some blushed and some variety colors of shading / bronzer / contour powder. Mostly are natural colors and wearable for your daily makeup. If you are a pro makeup artist and not into natural makeup / k-beauty this product might be not your cup of tea. But for me, I love korean makeup and I love natural makeup. My boyfriend also compliment my makeup everytime I use this mineral shading on my face.

By the way this is not sponsored by Innisfree Indonesia, but I do wish Innisfree Indonesia approach me tho. lol. Because I am being a loyal customer of Innisfree. Everytime I go back to Korea, Innisfree store is always on my travel list as must visit beauty store.

Let's go talking about Positive and Negative points!

Positive:
  1. Natural result.
  2. Affordable price. Around $8
  3. Multipurpose item. It can be used as eyeshadow, shading/bronzer for your nose and also other parts of your face without feeling too much.
  4. Travel friendly.
  5. Minimalist packaging and you can see directly what color it is.
  6. 70% mineral or less chemical than usual makeup product.

Negative:

  1. Natural result, it can be because it has less pigmentation. Back to your own makeup preference.
  2. Packaging is plastic, quite fragile. Basically you get for what you paid for.
