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?

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.

Beauty Review : Purbasari HI-MATTE Lip Cream Hydra Series (All Colors)


No. 1 Vinca, No. 2 Azalea, No. 3 Lantana, No. 4 Zinnia, No. 5 Freesia





Hello guys, I am on my Christmas and New Year holiday now. By the way, Merry Christmas and happy a joyful holiday with your closest ones. Meanwhile I am not doing anything special today, I will write my honest review about Purbasari HI-MATTE Lip Cream Hydra Series that I got from a drugstore called "Watsons". Pretty much is a famous drug store in South East Asia, especially in Indonesia and Singapore. They are selling medicines until drug store makeups or any other random cute products in a great deal.

Comeback to the point about this brand, Purbasari. Purbasari is a Indonesian local brand. I already knew this brand since I was a little kid. But back then Purbasari only produced skin care or body care products. In the past 2 years, they have been developing some new cosmetic products which is so surprising because THEY ARE DOING FINE. WELL DONE AND GOOD JOB PURBASARI.

I am writing this post not based on any collaboration or endorsement contract. But I tried their products. I use their body scrub / lulur mandi while I am taking shower, tried their matte lipsticks, and now I am trying all of their recent lip cream named HI-MATTE Lip Cream Hydra Series. I got all of these on holiday season and watsons offer me a good discount. THANKS WATSONS LOL.

Okay, let's put on review!

Positive:
  1. Packaging looks fancy meanwhile the price is so budget friendly ($5 each)
  2. Pigmentation = buildable for all colors.
  3. Magically all of these colors are suitable for all skin types and skin colors. If you have lighter or darker skin, you all are safe!
  4. It doesn't have any weird smell or any perfume in it.
  5. Applicator is not too big, it helps us for apply easier on our lips.
  6. Travel friendly!
  7. DRY LIPS? NO PROBLEM! These are not going to make your lips dry after application. But make sure you take care of your lips before application by using lip balm or lip scrub. Do not blame the product if your rusty lips are the real problem! lol
Negative:
  1. It's not kissproof or waterproof.
  2. Sadly they only offer 5 colors for a moment. (Personally, I don't put on a hate about this point, but might be some people want more colors in the future.)
My favorites are No. 2 Azalea, No. 3 Lantana, and No. 5 Freesia. This package is a great idea for birthday gift or christmas gift for your beloved ones.

Positive points:
  1. Well made packaging for such an affordable price
  2. So many good variation of colors. You still can rock these colors if you are not having a bright skin.
  3. Easy to use, especially if you are a beginner or non professional.
  4. Easy to blend to give you natural finish or lip tint / lip gradation effect.
  5. It smells like candy or cookies.
  6. Travel friendly.
  7. Affordable especially for you that living in a tight budget for makeup, ONLY $2-$3!
  8. About the color pigmentation, GREAT!
  9. Texture is creamy.
Negative points:
  1. Sadly you pay $2-$3 for a little amount of lipstick in that container. But well, this product is still good for beginner.
  2. Do not put under the sun / super hot sun light, it is going to melt for sure!
  3. Some people might like it and some people might hate this, it is not waterproof. Do not expect you can go swimming with your boyfriend and wearing this lipstick.
They are coming with highlighting sticks, color corrector sticks, and many more. I really recommend Play 101 Stick by Etude House!

xoxo,
Margaret
