[borathae]

Hii Sibi! I iust came here to say that I live the Magnus Venatio soo muchh. So much that the only reason I have been checking opening tumblr for the past month is to check whether you updated. I have had multiple exam for the past 2 months and whenever I take a break from studying I read you stories. They’re so good and you write so well.

Also I love the latest update. It played with my emotions in the best possible way🥲

The beginning was so cute and fluffy. Oc and Yoongi ahh my emotional support characters. And Tae being the absolute loveliest to Kook. And omgg I have started to dislike Jimin’s character more and more now. Like I get it you’re jealous… get a grip on yourself.

And Charles..fuc*ing di*khead..Tae’s friends are getting more and more problematic broo. First it was Fringella, then Jimin and now Charles. And Tae omg why’d you have to do that to Kook. All he wants is love.

The ending totally broke me. Yoongi☹️ he doesn’t deserve all of that all because he was trying to protect Kook

Thank you so much for your lovely words ehehe 🥺💜💜

ALSO LISTEN YOONGI x OC SUPREMACY!! THEY ARE!!! ENDGAME!! ahahha LOWKEY THOUGH TAE'S FRIENDS SUCK ASS FAJSDJF like he really didnd't choose great people to hang out in the past fnadsnf

ALOS PLEASE PROTECC YOOKOO AT ALL COST!! I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY ONLY :(

mahonia and aloe vera!

mahonia ⇢ what place, thing, activity inspires you most and how do you express yourself when it does?

(Keep in mind that i could be misinterpreting this question lmao)

Music!! Listening to music is a really good inspiration for me! sometimes i'll even imagine a whole music video in my head to certain songs hehehe. I like to sing along with them when i'm alone in the house :3

I think another answer might be just, talking about things with you and my other friendos! Like, i know i'm not the best at holding a convo sometimes, (/lh but sadly trueeee...) but a lot of my inspiration for art and stuff comes from talking to y'all! Whether it be RPing (With or without me) or talking about our head-canons about characters, sharing fanfics and music with each other, it all helps me think of new ideas!

aloe vera ⇢ what’s something (mundane) you really want to experience in life?

I really want to be able to go to the Zoo or Aquarium by myself! Every other time i've went to one of them, i was with either my parents or old friends from school, so i had to go with their pace instead of my own! Plus i would always feel self conscious about buying like, snacks or anything, so i wouldn't have to worry about that, eheh.

Namaste [Softwald AU fanfic]

Years in the past, a meditative meet-cute occurs in the forest.

no content warnings

but if you know me you know how much mindless fluff to expect

also the Soft Couple goes by “Oswald” and “Ortensia” here since this takes place long before Wasteland!Oswald falls into their world

It was a sunny morning in the dreamlike realm known as Wishland.

Oswald - or at least, the softer, quieter Oswald of this world - was on his way out to his favorite spot, along the side of the Wish River that ran through the forest not far from his home. He often came out here to meditate in the morning. He loved the quiet, serene, natural atmosphere, and the calming sound of the river flowing by. It was a very “spiritual” place for him, and he found it easy to slip into a deep meditative state here.

He had just arrived at the small clearing, when he noticed someone else there. Being as timid as he was, he hid behind a nearby tree so as not to be spotted.

There, along the side of the river, a female cat sat in a yogic position. Her fur was soft and pale, similar to Oswald's, and flowed along with the soft breeze. She wore a pink hat with a daisy sticking out of it, with a matching pink skirt. She seemed to be whispering mantras under her breath with a happy, serene expression on her face.

Oswald stood there blushing. His heart felt like it was beating at a mile a minute. She looked so beautiful, but he didn't want to disturb her. He slowly started walking away to seek a different place for his meditation.

As he walked away, however, the cat's ear twitched a bit. She seemed to have heard the sound of Oswald's footsteps as he turned around, and she looked over at him.

They both sort of looked at each other in silence for a moment, their cheeks both dyed a deep pink.

The cat finally broke the silence.

“Oh...H-hi there...” she whispered with a shy, yet friendly smile.

Oswald started to panic a bit.

“O-oh! I-I'm sorry...” he squeaked anxiously. “I didn't mean to disturb you...I...was just looking for a place to meditate...I'll leave you alo-”

“Oh! Y-you like to meditate, too?” The cat's face lit up at the mention. She was always eager to meet someone who shared an interest in relaxation.

“...Y-yeah,” he replied, seeming to calm down a little. “All the time, in fact...This is my favorite spot...It's so nice and serene, isn't it?”

“It sure is,” the cat sighed blissfully. “Oh! I should probably introduce myself, huh?...M-my name's Ortensia...What's your name?”

“O...Oswald...” he replied bashfully. “It's...It's really nice to meet you...”

“Would you...like to meditate with me?” Ortensia offered with a welcoming smile. “It'd be really nice to have company today.”

Oswald's limp ears perked up a bit. “A-ah...Are you...sure I won't be a bother to you?”

Ortensia giggled. “Not at all...You seem like you'd be a nice meditation partner.”

Oswald blushed even more and looked down. “W-well...If you say so...I'd love to...”

Ortensia patted the ground beside her. “Please, sit next to me.”

Oswald slowly walked over and laid down the blanket he'd been carrying to sit on next to her. He settled himself into a cross-legged meditation position and looked over at Ortensia.

“Well, let's begin, shall we?” Ortensia smiled.

“O-okay,” Oswald replied shyly.

They both closed their eyes, and Ortensia returned to her whispered mantra.

“Om...shanti...shanti...shanti...”

The words came out like a gentle breeze, caressing Oswald's ears.

He joined in chanting in unison with her.

“Om...shanti...shanti...shanti...”

They whispered in perfect sync, almost like a tuneless harmony. The sounds of each other's repititions sent soft, pleasant tingles down their spines, like a gentle pat on the back. It was such a beautiful sensation for both of them, and somehow they both knew that the other was probably feeling the same thing.

The whole atmosphere wove together like a silent symphony to their whispered song. The warmth of the morning sun on their faces, the breeze flowing through their fur, the sounds of leaves rustling and the gentle river stream.

Oswald opened one eye for a brief moment to look over at the serene face of his meditation partner. He felt a bit guilty letting himself get distracted, but she was just so beautiful. Suddenly, she opened one eye to look over at him, at which point Oswald panicked a bit and closed his eyes again, pretending he hadn't been looking at her.

Ortensia giggled silently and closed her eyes again. She opened up the palm of her right hand, which was right next to Oswald's left hand.

Oswald opened his eye once again and noticed Ortensia's hand facing palm-up. Ortensia opened one eye yet again, and smiled at Oswald. She nodded her head slightly towards her hand, as if cluing him on.

Oswald hesitated a bit, but he slowly stretched out his left hand, and placed it in Ortensia's open hand. Their two hands slowly clasped onto each other, gently, yet firmly.

They closed their eyes once again and returned to their mantra.

At that moment, a strange new sensation overcame them.

A warm, kindly feeling that started in their chests and flowed through the rest of their bodies.

They both felt as though they were existing outside of time and space. Like the rest of existence was a million miles away.

It was just the two of them, floating, as if they were just one entity, in a silent void of pure warmth.

No words. No thoughts. No distractions. Only one emotion...

...Love.

They were unsure how much time had passed in that state. It could've been minutes, or hours...They wouldn't have cared if it'd been all day.

But eventually, they both opened their eyes and began coming out of it.

They were silent for a moment, simply looking into each other's eyes, reflecting on what they'd felt.

Finally, Ortensia spoke up.

“That was...really...really nice...” she whispered.

“Yeah, it...really was...” Oswald replied, his entire face now a rosy pink.

“Thank you so much for meditatin' with me today,” Ortensia said, her face now also a deep pink hue. “I don't remember the last time I felt so...calm...I-it's almost like...we have some sorta...synergy...”

Ortensia froze for a minute and started giggling in mild embarassment. “Ehehe...S-sorry...That sounded kinda weird, didn't it?”

“Oh, n-no!” Oswald assured her. “I...actually feel the same way...I really do...”

Ortensia was now beaming in delight. She leaned in and wrapped her arms around Oswald, who then reciprocated the embrace.

“...Will you be coming back tomorrow?” Ortensia whispered in his ear. “I would really like to meditate with you again, if it's okay.”

Oswald smiled enthusiastically.

“Of course,” he replied. “It's a da--”

He stopped himself mid-sentence, now sweating a bit, worried he was being too bold.

Ortensia giggled. “..a date?” she finished for him.

“...a date.” he replied, grinning relievedly.

They both got up and picked up their blankets.

“Until tomorrow,” Ortensia placed her hands together and smiled. “Namaste.”

Oswald repeated the gesture. “N-namaste...” he whispered, blushing.

They both went their seperate ways. As they walked home, they had the absolute widest smiles on their faces as they remembered the experience.

Was this love? Real, pure love?

It could be.

It might just take a few more meditation sessions to find out.

[learning-to-think]

12th of October

I am late in so many things I start to panick a little bit.

I have two things to do in Arts, two “controls”. But I will do both on the hollydays, after the 20th. I alo have a control in English to do, an oral expression (I don’t like the topic). Then one in sciences: I just have to scan the doodle but I don’t know how to scan so ahahah. I think I will take a photo from my phone in the end. And to this add a German control! Oral expression plus comprehension. Oral expression in German is not really my problem, I just have to learn the vocabulary beforehand. The comprehension, on the other hand... I’m shit at this >< But anyway. I shouldn’t even be on Tumblr, I should be studying. But I’m tired and overwhelmed so I can’t focus.

This is not really language related, more study thingy but eheh. I’m just. panicking.

"Master Plannya RSUD Bantul Mantap"

Status w.a dari seorang mbak yang sekarang sedang memperjuangkan thesis MARS-nya (yang bahkan beliau menunda internship terlebih dahulu demi merampungkan thesis), yang selalu aku tanya-tanyain pas awal koass dan sering aku minta saran dari pengalaman beliau mengenai keresahanku untuk menghadapi tahun kedua ketika stase mayor sudah kelar semua yang mana insyaAllah aku akan menjalani dua bidang keilmuan yang agak berbeda walau masih sejalan juga :")

Aku balas, "Wah mba, lagi di Bantul?"

Mba Kasun menjawab, "Iyaa abis swab di PKU Bantul, sekalian lewat, kangen.. Abis aku tinggal malah jd bagus RSPSnya 😅"

"Ehehe iya mba, tapi belum pindah mba IGDnya. Tapi sedihnya ini kita blm di acc masuk IGD mba :( dr. Warih bilangnya ga usah aja :("

"Emmm gmn ya, ga masuk IGD ga dapet ilmu tambahan, masuk IGD pasiennya covid semua, kasian kalian juga..Ya udh belajar dr yutub aja sal.."

"Wkwkkw, siapp mbaaa.. memang koass angkatan covid serba onlen :") nnti pas keluar kita mau jadi Spesialis Alo Dokter aja mba keknya :") wkwk"

[seijohsremade]

mahal I bought skincare stuff today and thought of you I got cetaphil cleanser and aloe vera lotion

omg im glad u thought of me ehehe <333 i hope it works for you !!! lmk how it goes

[darlingpwease]

love what is it like to be the human incarnation of thaliacea?

/j

not to see the snow??? for years??? darling, and you live in the cauldron of hell, don't you?

undergroundphile </3

of course I know that in some countries people see this huge strange golden ball in the sky more than twice a year, but I didn't know it was true- I thought it was like those old legends that are passed down from generation to generation to scare little children /hj

as far as I know, monsoons appear in summer, so I really hope that your existence on land will get better. although monsoons are usually very dry, but you're probably not as water-loving as I am, so it's even better <3

'gardening'?;;; I'm sorry for you, my darling;;; don't think I'm not loving nature or something so much, because yes, it's true, but I'm sorry for you not for that reason </3

physical activity is always good, even if it's something like that; although, I hope you got your cool drink and shade after! don't let yourself overheat, please </3

your body is wonderful even if it works like this. I'm sure there is something that only it can do, given that in exchange for something we get something, you know?.. you know eheh <3

aloe vera can be unsafe in large quantities, so if you already decide to use it, then don't overdo it. to be honest, it never helped me, but you, as a constantly burning person, definitely know more about your body.

* still don't recommend it if someone else is reading it.

you know, considering this "my body in the morning and afternoon vs my body in the evening and at night", I'm sure I have two of them — just don't notice when they change. this is the most plausible and pleasant theory to me, because if this body is the same, then I have a lot of questions.

how can you approve of something like that gosh </3 /j

I swear, I thought that these jokes about pills that treat one thing and cripple another were purely hyperbolization, until I took a pill against abdominal pain - and now I'm sitting by the window because I'm suffocating due to an aggravated cold. finita la comedia.

Skincare Routine (2) : Getting Used to Taiwan

Assalaamu’alaikum.

Melanjutkan postingan sebelumnya mengenai skincare routine kali ini saya pengen sharing mengenai skincare routine saya selama di Taiwan. 

Memang bedanya apa ? Mengapa harus ganti produk ?  

Ketika tinggal di luar negeri, saya bukan hanya harus melatih diri untuk membiasakan diri dengan budaya dan lingkungan yang berbeda. Tapi juga harus melatih tubuh untuk terbiasa dengan kondisi cuaca yang berbeda dengan di Indonesia. 

Taiwan memiliki empat musim—musim panas, musim gugur, musim dingin, dan musim semi. Meskipun nggak seekstrim di Eropa maupun Amerika, saya merasakan dampak yang dialami oleh tubuh ketika belum mampu membiasakan diri dengan perbedaan musim. Mulai alergi debu yang makin parah ketika masuk musim semi*karena tercampur dengan pollen atau serbuk bunga hingga ambruk selama dua minggu lebih, puyeng kepanasan di musim panas, dan kedinginan di musim dingin. Duh, duh. Namun sejauh ini, hal yang paling bikin saya berjuang mati-matian sepanjang musim dan ketika pergantian musim adalah mengenai kulit wajah.

Seperti yang sudah pernah saya jelaskan, kulit saya termasuk jenis kulit kombinasi, kering namun hanya berminyak di area T-zone. Namun jelasnya, kulit saya merupakan jenis kulit yang sangat sensitif. Salah bahan atau salah tekstur, bisa-bisa kusam hingga bruntusan, jerawat batu, dan ujung-ujungnya berbekas.

Masa-masa terburuk kulit saya berada antara tahun 2012-2015. Masa-masa itu merupakan masa-masa saya baru lepas dari krim dokter dan saya harus berjuang dengan kondisi kulit wajah yang sama sekali nggak bisa diapa-apain. Mulai kusam, bekas jerawat, minyak, dan masih banyak lagi masalah lain. 

Saya hanya bisa memakai sunblock dengan SPF 30 setelah cuci muka dengan sabun. Sabunnya pun khusus, hanya bisa satu merk itu aja dan ketika saya mencoba ganti ? Jerawatan lagi. Saya ganti tekstur sabun dari foam ke scrub, alamat besok langsung jerawatan. Saya lupa nggak lihat bahan—ada alkohol atau bahan pemutih, besok jerawatan. Haufh. Hingga akhirnya, sejak tahun 2015 kondisi kulit saya cukup stabil dan saya punya daftar produk tetap yang saya pakai selama bertahun-tahun hingga sebelum ke Taiwan. Kondisi kulit saya pun sedang bagus-bagusnya—cerah dan nggak kusam, bekas jerawat tinggal sedikit dan memudar, jerawat muncul tapi pas haid saja dan itupun kecil dan tidak membekas, kulit mulai tahan terhadap berbagai bahan, dan yang paling menyenangkan saya bisa pake produk make-up lagi tanpa jerawatan !

Namun ketika saya pertama kali sampai di Taiwan, saat itu sedang musim gugur yang cuacanya berkisar antara panas-lembab. Kulit saya yang lama banget nggak berminyak tau-tau berminyak banget—banjir ! Saya bingung harus bagaimana, tau-tau produk yang saya bawa dari Indonesia nggak ada yang mempan. Kondisi itu berlangsung selama satu bulan, hingga kemudian saya disarankan menggunakan Nature Republic Soothing Aloe Vera Gel sebagai ganti pelembab.

Produk ini merupakan produk universal, mudah didapat, murah meriah di Taiwan. Jika di Indonesia dijual seharga 100,000 IDR atau lebih, disini dijual sekitar 80-100 NTD atau sekitar 40,000-50,000 IDR. Sayangnya, saya kelupaan nggak ngecek kalo produk ini ada alkoholnya. Bagi teman-teman lain nggak masalah, namun saya menyerah. Kulit saya breakout lagi setelah pemakaian selama kurang lebih satu bulan. Akhirnya saya bawa pulang produk tersebut dan saya kasih ke teman saya.

Kemudian saya juga sempat mencoba menggunakan Neogen, yang lagi-lagi sama—breakout. Hingga kemudian saya menemukan Soo Beaute Snail Essence di toko kosmetik bernama Sasa. Saya memutuskan mencoba produk ini setelah saya mencoba sheet mask dengan essence siput dan cocok. Kulit saya berangsur-angsur membaik. Karena harga sheet mask sebiji 100 NTD atau sekitar 50,000 IDR dan termasuk mahal, saya mencari alternatif lain. Saya pernah mencoba sheet mask dengan varian lain susah nemu yang cocok. Akhirnya saya memilih tetap di varian lendir siput, sayangnya produk ini susah banget nyarinya apalagi Benton atau CosRX.

Harga Soo Beaute Snail Essence 300 NTD, atau sekitar 150,000 IDR. Namun produk ini awet pakai sekitar 4-5 bulan. Saya pake hanya 1-2 pump selama satu hari dan teksturnya ringan. Gampang sekali menyerap. Meski belum kembali seperti sedia kala, kulit saya membaik. Akhirnya saya hanya menggunakan essence ini selain cuci muka dengan sabun ehehe.

Lalu kemudian datanglah musim dingin—the worst nightmare ever buat kulit saya. Seumur-umur, saya nggak pernah ngerasain kulit kering hingga mengelupas. Baru kali ini, kena dingin hingga kulit merah dan mengelupas. Frustasi ? Iya ! Apalagi produk yang cocok saya pakai hanya dua biji itu. Sedih sekali pemirsah. Saya harus betah dengan dua produk itu hingga menunggu selesai musim dingin, karena udah nyoba gonta-ganti produk dan nggak mempan.

Musim semi, kulit saya mulai cukup stabil—eh, musim panas nggak berminyak, nggak mengelupas, tapi merah meradang. Baru kali ini juga saya merasakan jerawat batu muncul gede-gede dan langsung merah meradang cenat-cenut kalo kena panas. 

Concern utama saya memang cuaca. Masyaa Allah, pusing banget menangani kondisi kulit yang nggak bisa diapa-apain ini. Udah nyoba produk ini itu juga mustahil. Bahkan saya nyobain tips skincare Korea yang 10 tahap, juga nggak mempan. Hingga perlahan saya kemudian mengetahui pola pemakaian produk-produk skincare sesuai musim yang affordable dan tahan saya gunakan hingga saat ini.

Clean n Clear Essential Facial Wash, tidak diragukan lagi kemampuannya dalam mengatasi masalah kulit saya. Saya udah pake sekitar 5 tahun. Sayangnya di Taiwan varian sabun ini susah nyarinya dan adapun harganya 300 NTD. Mahal kali~ Akhirnya saya nyetok sabun ini tiap pulang ke Indonesia, 2-3 botol dan tiap botolnya hanya seharga 19,000 IDR.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot, satu-satunya facial scrub yang bisa saya pake huhu. Karena saya sebelumnya nyoba chemical exfoliator dari Neogen dan nggak cocok saya gamang mau nyoba physical exfoliator yang teksturnya scrub gede-gede. Namun saya kaget, karena ternyata cocok dan sama sekali nggak masalah di kulit saya. Saya pake dua kali sehari setelah cuci muka dan hasilnya kulit saya bersih tapi yang nggak kering banget atau malah nggak keset. Saya nemu produk ini di Watson’s seharga 250 NTD. Sayangnya, varian yang ada hanya Apricot saja. Saya belum mau repurchase karena bahkan setelah hampir 10 bulan pemakaian masih ada sekitar 1/3 tube. Jelasnya saya bakal repurchase kalo habis nanti ! Oiya, produk ini bisa dipakai di segala musim. Hanya saya sesuaikan penggunaan air buat cuci mukanya saja, saya prefer menggunakan air dengan suhu normal yang nggak terlalu dingin atau pake air hangat. Air hangat bisa buka pori-pori makin lebar, sedangkan terlalu dingin bisa bikin kulit kering dan lecet saat di-exfoliate.

Freeman Peel Off Mask Cucumber, masker ini adalah jenis masker yang bisa saya pake selama di Taiwan. Saya prefer masker jenis kletekan karena masker bilas terlalu berat menurut saya dan masker kletekan ada sensasi ditarik-tarik gitu hehe. Waktu pakenya bukan di tengah-tengah seperti 10 step Korean skincare, tapi saya pake di awal sebelum cuci muka karena saya butuh buat cleansing bukan buat hydrating. Saya merasa cukup dari produk lain kalo untuk menghidrasi kulit. Sejauh ini nggak ada masalah, namun saya pake pas musim panas saja karena sewaktu musim dingin kulit saya lumayan kering dan nggak gampang kotor. Produk ini saya beli di sekitar Zhongli, harganya saya lupa sekitar 300-400 NTD. 

Cos RX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, saya sebelumnya sama sekali nggak pernah pake toner dan nggak merasa toner penting sebelum saya ke Taiwan karena dari produk yang saya pakai sehari-hari pun cukup. Saya sebelumnya hanya pake Kangen Water dan semprot-semprot selesai dan masalahnya Kangen Water saya sama sekali nggak mempan selama di Taiwan, hiks. Setelah browsing sekian lama saya akhirnya menggunakan produk ini. Karena tidak dijual dengan bebas di Taiwan dan nyarinya susah akhirnya saya beli di Althea. Saya pake produk ini selama 4 bulan dan alhamdulillah tidak ada masalah. Hanya saja untuk penggunaannya, saya selang-seling dengan vitamin C karena produk ini mengandung AHA/BHA. Produk ini saya gunakan pagi, setelah cuci muka sebelum lanjut ke Benton.

Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum, produk ini saya beli di Althea. Produk ini bagus buat untuk menutrisi kulit dan teskturnya kental karena dari esktrak bahan-bahan alami. Saya sudah menggunakan produk ini selama 4 bulan dan sejauh ini tidak ada masalah, kecuali belum terbiasa dengan sesnasi hangat di kulit waktu pertama pake dulu. Saya gunakan produk ini sebelum tidur 1-2 tetes setelah cuci muka sebelum lanjut ke Benton. 

Benton Snail Bee High Content Skin, sama halnya dengan Cos RX dan Dear, Klairs produk ini susah banget nyarinya jadi saya beli di Althea. Saya suka banget sama produk satu ini yang sebenarnya perannya sebagai toner namun saya gunakan untuk menghidrasi kulit setelah pemakaian Cos RX atau vitamin C. Produk ini teksturnya ringan banget kayak air sehingga cepat meresap. Saya sudah menggunakan produk ini selama 10 bulan dan alhamdulillah cocok.

Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence, saya sebenarnya memang mengincar produk ini lama namun nemunya malah Soo Beaute yang saya beli di Sasa. Awalnya saya kira teksturnya sama seperti produk sebelumnya namun produk sebelumnya malah lebih mirip dengan High Content Skin sedangkan essence yang satu ini kental namun ringan, watery gitu. Produk ini saya gunakan setelah High Content Skin, baik pagi ataupun malam dan sejauh ini alhamdulillah tidak ada masalah.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pink Transformer, jika moisturizer saya sebelumnya adalah Olay saya sekarang menggunakan moisturizer satu ini. Rupanya Olay terlalu berat saya gunakan di musim panas sehingga malah bikin jerawatan dan lengket. Akhirnya saya beralih ke produk ini. Selain ringan dan bisa bikin kulit lebih cerah seketika hasil aplikasi produk ini nggak bikin putih alay begitu dan bagus. Produk ini juga sudah dilengkapi dengan SPF 30/PA+++ ! Saya pake produk ini hampir 2 bulan dan sejauh ini aman-aman saja dan malah bikin kulit ternutrisi sekaligus nggak perlu pake suncreen lagi. Produk ini bisa dibeli di toko-toko kosmetik di Taiwan seperti RT-Mart, Watson’s, Carrefour, dan lain sebagainya. Saya lupa harganya, sekitar 200 NTD.

Yaps, itulah tadi serangkaian produk skincare yang saya gunakan selama di Taiwan hingga saat ini. Masa pemakaian produk terlama sekitar 10 bulan, hingga yang terbaru 2 bulan lalu dan saya nggak ganti-ganti lagi karena udah cocok. Nemu yang cocok aja udah susah, gimana mau ganti hiks.

Produk-produk yang saya sebutkan insya Allah aman dan jenisnya alcohol-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free karena jenis kulit saya sensitif dan kering jadi saya hati-hati pilih produk dan cek bahan dulu. Produk tersebut juga aman dipake di segala musim karena sudah saya pilih bener-bener teksturnya dan gimana cara pakainya. Jika dihitung dari masa pemakaian, hasil, dan kompatibelnya produk tersebut digunakan di berbagai musim saya rasa patut banget buat dicoba, terutama bagi yang menghadapi masalah sama dengan saya dan masih bingung dengan produk apa yang harus digunakan.

Sekian postingan saya kali ini, semoga bermanfaat ! 

Wassalaamu’alaikum.

sage and aloe vera for the ask game :]

sage ⇢ what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is?

OUGGHHHHHH !!!!!!!! writing aaaall the way :D i think it's because as a young child reading meant the world to me, and i wanted to craft the worlds i got lost in, the worlds that gave me hope and wonder. it's an art form that taught me that language is vast and as a young autistic kid struggling to understand a world that seemed to speak a different language, i wanted to learn as kuch as i could as best as i could. i wanted to be able to speak in a way i could be understood. now i've been writing over half my life, and i'm pleased to say i have so much more to learn :D

aloe vera ⇢ what’s something (mundane) you really want to experience in life?

ohmmmm maybe a concert! might be.. an interesting sensory experience, but it seems like it'd be fun! i want to go to a bts concert at least once in my life ehehe

tyyy for the ask :D have this cat !!!!
