Beauty Appetite by Jessica Simon

I visited Royal Garden Spa with some of my friends last week, they just opened a new Platinum store with the theme of Archipelago Heritage Masterpiece, bringing valuable culture of Indonesia to become king in his own country.
Royal Garden customers will be greeted with aromatherapy, music relaxation, products made from natural ingredients, skilled therapists who are competent in their fields, and a variety of package attractive treatment such as: whitening, gold, green tea, chocolate, facial, and hair care. Customers of Royal Garden will also be pampered with a variety of attractive promotions and comfortable facilities.

I couldn't wait to try their service. Even though this branch is called Platinum, I must say that they have the most affordable spa packages! It's only IDR 300,000-450,000 for 5 treatments (or more!). I decided to get a full body massage last week.

I don't know about you, but I really like the ambient of the place. Though they use advanced technology for the services, they have traditional decorations all over the place, and my friend Catra from www.shinelikeastarr-beauty.com said that it reminds her of her hometown :)
Getting ready for a full body massage!

The aromatherapy smelled good, the therapist was competent, it definitely was a quite good and relaxing 60 minutes for sure :)
Sophie got foot reflexology and face massage (totok wajah) that day.
It was indeed a great experience, and I'd love to come back to Royal Garden Spa Platinum with my friends and family. Anyway, here's a little sneak peek for you guys:

As you can see, I got myself a new cut, on my bangs to be precise. It was awful, I accidentally cut it too short and decided not to upload any pictures of myself. I'm the kind of person who prefer to do everything by themselves instead of relying on somebody I cannot trust, and in this case, my bangs. I always cut my own bangs, and they always turn out well, except this time hahaha. Believe it or not, I spent the whole 10 minutes just to straighten my bangs so it'd look longer than it seemed to be, which as you can see, is kind of pointless here.

Have you ever experienced the same thing? :P

It's been a long time since my last collaboration with Miu from The Peach Beauty, so we came up with an idea to exchange gifts of beauty products! I was curious of what she bought for me, because we have different preferences, skintones, and also styles... Watch the video to see what I got from Miu :)

Don't forget to check Miu's video to find out items that I personally chose for her.
Tata for now!

I may not be the fittest person you've seen, but I always try to be fit by doing small things like avoiding too much carbs, sweets, and soft drinks, and not to mention I workout every other day, at least twice a week. I don't do it specifically for a good body—though who doesn't want a toned bod anyway?—but for my own health instead.
It all comes from our lifestyle, I've been trying to achieve my fitness goals, and since motivation is key, here's a list of how I keep myself motivated:
  • I keep track of my gym schedule. I have to go to the gym at least twice a week (once every two or three days)
  • Have someone to motivate you. Either your personal trainer, or gym buddy, either way it's better than working out alone
  • Having good music. Keep your iPod's playlist updated
  • Do home workout. I do this everytime I'm too lazy to drive, too tired to face the traffic jam, all I need is some weights and yoga mat
  • Dressing up. Who says you can't be fashionable with sporty style? I always treat myself new workout apparel at least once a month. When I look good, I always feel good and motivated :)

Always use the right 'gear' when you workout, as it'll help to maximize the result. Workout clothes is all about fit and comfort, but I can't never say no when they're also fashionable ;)

I hope my tips will help you to keep motivated to achieve your goals. Don't you know that Nike also hold annually NTC Tour? Let's come and join the club! This event is dedicated to women only, let's stay fit and fabulous together! I'll see you guys there... For more information: www.nike.com
Stay fashionably healthy guys!

We've all heard some ridiculous myths about hair, and recently I read this article about hair myths and decided to share it with you guys, just in case if you haven't known about it already. Some of the myths have been going on for years, here are some of them:

Myth No. 1: Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster and/or Thicker
False. Shorter hair often looks and feels thicker, but cutting your hair won’t alter its normal biologically determined growth rate or overall texture. Thin, limp or fine hair will not ever grow thicker in response to a haircut.
Solution: Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair
care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or getting a texturizing perm or
color treatment.

Myth No. 2: Hair Grows Faster On Different Parts Of The Head
True. There is some scientific evidence that the growth rate of hair may vary on different parts of the head for select people. There is also some indication that the growth rate of hair on babies may be faster on the crown than on any other parts of the scalp. Usually the growth rate differences are very marginal and will not impact the hair appearance in any way.

Myth No. 3: Hair Will Always Remain The Same Texture
False. Although you may be born with straight, curly or wavy locks, there are many circumstances under which your hair’s ultimate texture can be permanently altered. Pregnancy, medication, chemotherapy, age and other variables can cause your texture to be temporarily or permanently altered.

Myth No. 4: Smoking Causes Gray Hair
True. According to J. G. Mosley of the Leigh Infirmary in Lancashire, England in an article in Science News (January 11, 1997) smokers are four times more likely to have gray hair than nonsmokers. Even worse, smoking has been conclusively linked to accelerated hair loss.

Myth No. 5: Washing Hair Every Day Dries It Out
False. The right shampoo for your hair type and texture will actually add moisture, body and beauty to your hair. The key is to finding the correct shampoo designed for your hair.

Myth No. 6: Wearing Tight Braids, Ponytails Or Buns Causes Baldness
True. Traction alopecia is a very real hair loss condition that may result from wearing tight ponytails, cornrows or buns over an extended period of time. Over time, hair breakage or loss as the result of tight, stressed styles, can become permanent. Avoid this potential problem by opting for looser styles that minimize scalp tension.

Myth No. 7: A Sunburnt Scalp Can Lead To Hairloss
True. Severe sunburn or a series of burns that occur over time may damage delicate hair follicles at the root level. People with a genetic predisposition towards hair loss may accelerate the onset of hair loss activity. Avoid scalp burns by applying sun protectio products to your scalp along with your hair.

Myth No. 8: Brushing Thinning Hair Makes It Fall Out Faster
False. As long as you use a good brush on your hair, normal daily brushing will not accelerate the normal loss of hair from the scalp. If your hair is suffering from a hair loss condition like alopecia brushing will only cause you to lose hair that is already.

All in all, I can't stress enough to tell you that hair is one of the most important part of your look like I mentioned in this post. And that's why I always remember to apply hair conditioner, vitamins and also hair serum like CG 210. I've been using CG 210 daily for about six months now, and the result is amazing, my hair is much stronger and healthier than ever.

I truly recommend CG 210 to anyone who has hair problems, or basically anyone who wants healthier and stronger hair :)

Hi guys! I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been extremely busy lately, and too tired to take even a single picture. But now I'm back with a makeup tutorial! So I started learning Korean couple weeks ago, and I decided to start watching K-Dramas. I'm so hooked with couple of series and I'm inspired by their beauty to recreate Korean makeup look. This is pretty much my current makeup routine that I do daily, it's easy, simple, and practical! So let's jump on to the tutorial then ;)

I'll talk and review a bit of the products I used in this post, so this is gonna be a very long post. I'll try to be as thorough as possible, but if I missed anything please do ask me in comment section below.
Since I was introduced to Hada Labo CC Cream (click for complete review), I can't stop using it! It never break me out, it's creamy and easy to blend, and the coverage is da bomb! Unfortunately, the CC Cream only has two shades: Royal Ivory, and Elegant Beige. I use the Royal Ivory, which is the lighter shade, but it's still too dark for my skin tone :(
But that doesn't mean I'd stop using it! I mix Hada Labo CC Cream with Regen Cosmetic CC Cream (click for complete review) to get the perfect shade. Regen Cosmetic CC Cream instantly makes skin looks glowing, but since I have oily skin, I always have to top it off with powder.
Recently, I prefer to use my Sigma F88 Flat Angled Kabuki Brush to apply my makeup base. It's much easier to reach the under eye, side of nose, hair line, etc.
I've been trying out the Beyond Angel Aqua Grinding Powder, because I'm running out of my Lioele Skin Fix Powder Pact, do you guys have any powder recommendation for oily skin? This one is good, because it's a grinding powder instead of loose powder, so you won't have to worry much when you travel. BUT, it doesn't have oil control as good as my Lioele powder.
 Grind, grind! & Tap, tap!
This NYX Tame&Frame Tinted Brow Pomade is quite good, I enjoy using it everyday because it won't budge throughout the day. Why do I seem care? Because I had seen a girl with runny eyebrows down to her eyes, it was horrible because I was in a meeting and I wanted to laugh so bad. I'm not sure about brow product she used, because I pretended I didn't know, why bother asking? But after that day, I made sure that my brow products won't smudge and budge even in craziest day/night.
I use angled brush to apply it. Lately, I draw my brows straight for a more youthful look. I'm using Chocolate shade if you're wondering.
The second step is to use a browcara (brow-mascara) to lighten my brow hair color, because I dyed my hair to dark brown. I'm using Etude House Color My Brows for that, it does a great job to lighten my brows.
If I intend to use eyeshadow, I apply NYX Eye Shadow Base beforehand. Applying eyeshadow base will help to intensify your eyeshadow color and makes it long-lasting too.
I take the product out using small brush and blend it with my ring finger.
You can get this product at Sociolla. 
Neutral eyeshadow colors from my Urban Decay Naked Palette (as always!).
Because I want to achieve more-natural look, I prefer to use brown eyeliner, instead of black. I love this Lollipops Eyeliner, the felt tip is different than the usual, but it's easy to control, so I can create wing liner, cat eye, or simple straight line.
This product can also be found at Sociolla, don't forget to use this code 'JSM50' to get IDR 50,000 off your purchase :)
This one is an oldie but a goodie, The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Cushion Blusher (click here for complete review), I've always loved to use peach shade as blusher and I had stopped using this product for a while and recently found it! I think I need to get a new one, because they have repackage this collection haha.
I've hit the pan as you can see. Been using this religiously! 
What look is more Korean than gradient lips? I, too, also love gradient lips! I use two products to achieve that... I use The Face Shop Ink Lipquid all over my lips, and use Etude House Dear Darling Tint only in the center part of my lips to create the ombre effect.
And it's done! When I'm in a rush, I usually skip the eyeshadow base, eyeshadow, browcara, and the second lip tint.

So here is the final look, let me know what you think about it :)

XOXO
