Being a mother is such and incredible handful job. I love my job, it's happy and fun as well as sometime could cost me feeling struggle. I am sure that there are a lot of moms out there feeling kind of a same in many ways. But we have to keep ours head high and be ready to give love to ours baby without conditions. For me, before I ever reach my handout in the morning to my LO. I need to get my self together by prepared my mind in somehow. For example I have love and passions for beauty and love to made my self looking like I have 12 hours beauty sleep plus double shots of espresso ( even though I quite drinking coffee long time ago and never sleep more then 10hours in my pre baby). I woke up a little bit early then my LO start to buzzing the crib. Get my morning routine by sipping water ( sometime I do just chuck it, oh! you know life is could be like an action movie sometime right after you wake up), brush my teeth, wash my face (I did shower very clean right before go to bed, so), shower (if I have a moment to do), skincare routine ( this how I got my self together...starting), sunblock ( for anti-wrinkle and sun spots specially in California wooohoooo!! sun rays is giving us so much love), GET MY EYEBROWS (aka my wings bitch) IN PLACE **this is my drive of everyday, no brows no life. And spray my face-mist on for a refreshing dewy glow. That is it!!!! After that for a day long day I am ready to rock the life of motherhood and stay shine!! It's anything, anything that make you feel better before you pick the lovely diamond of your eyes out of their crib. Take a time/ manage it to get you soul ready. It is not easy to be a mother. To lift weight of baby all day, cardio around catching them, bottles, feeding, reading, cleaning, diaper changing, cuddling, and so on and on and on..... Moms, you deserved to get that inner bitch together to get it down for the day and raise you child for the best that it could be. Cheer!!

Beside my breakfast is a thing that I can’t live without before start my day. My morning routine recently that I’m very obsessed is to apply my magical beauty tool. “WONDER GLOW” from CT (aka CHARLOTTE TILBURY), I was accidentally discover it while I’m at CT counter looking for the new blush color.
As it sell it self as a “wonder glow” status. I’m surprised that it just. like. what it named. I can’t live without this beauty soft focal flash cream. It’s like you are lied to eyes when looking at the skin after apply this cream and reflex to the light. Behind the package it said “Powered by Fluorescent core that convert UV light into skin luminosity for and instant soft focus spotlight effect.” Yes, that was all I need for my skin and it become my daily routine -after I apply my sunscreen. I’ve been using it as a skin base for the day I don’t need foundation for make up, before apply the loose powder. For the special day I prefer to apply it before mineral powder. My friends not even notices what is happen on my skin. Accept they said “you look glowing” or “Being pregnant it’s suiting you” -I’m in 34weeks pregnant and at this time I’m can be out of my energy and the natural glow will not cooperate with my skin everyday. But really it’s the WONDER GLOW cream that is safe my life. It’s perfect to wear even while traveling when skin not hydrated enough help skin look healthy and not look tried like you been sleepless or watch 5 movies during the flight.
The cost of damage is $65. But it worth every cents I’ve spend. Use just one tiny bean size per day. Been using it for 2months and still have 80% of the bottle.
It’s come in one color that suited with universal skin tone.
I’m kinda feel funny that I’m lied to lots of people I’ve meet so far that my skin is absolutely healthy and glowing. But I’m happy that I’m look good and glow everywhere I attending to. Woman always need a bit of tricks to shine!
Don’t wait, go play with it At CT counter.
Love,

Way to keep bathroom neat and clean.
I was always tried to find the way to keep my bathroom neat, specially the sink area. It’s always messy and hard to make it look clean and organized when I living with someone who’s busy rushing to work in the morning like my husband. My side is already messy enough, but his side…. Let’s put it this way, he’s a manly man. Been try so many ways to keep it look perfect and functionable yet simple, easy to keep it clean and easy to keep it organized. I’ve found an idea to keep it thing around my sink in place by put his bathroom essential and min on Little Lazy-Susan for a few weeks. I think it easier to grab stuff and put it back. Also it’s makes more room for storages. It’s been works well with my bathroom and no more things are all over the sink!
Try this.
Love,

pregnant have to : Eating for 2 (Really…??).
Like an old wives tail had said.. When you are pregnant, you are eating for two. Yes, please allow our (pregnant) self to believe this fact. But before you have an idea to go against the old wives tails. I would love to share my opinions on this myth. Beside all craving symptom that could happen while pregnancy mind covering my brain. I did eat for two, 3 full meals/ days or 5small meals/day (not including dessert). My previous eating harbor is very healthy but much lighter then while I’m carry my unborn child. •Previous eating habit before pregnant
Morning: Green smoothie, wheat toast or thin layer of pancake and black coffee with honey follow up with a shot Noni juice or orange juice w/cayenne pepper.
Lunch: Meat or fish with 8-10 table spoons of Brown rice, soup or big plate of salad or big bowl of soup (lots of veggies).
Dinner: I allow my self to have carbohydrates for dinner 1-2 a week. But not more then 8 table spoons and follow up with a shot of Noni juice.
For desserts 1-2 a week.
••To be thin is my ideal. But not to be too thin and feel unhealthy. These are including workout 3-5times a week weight training or boxing, core exercises and yoga. I am not try to diet at all. I just love my combination between my eating and exercising
Since I’m pregnant. It beyond handful, craving, unstable hormones and energy burning. I’ve been eating more than ever and I prefer it this way. But “Eating for 2” in my opinions. Is have to be debate on what is healthy for my body. I’m thinking about my self first not because of I’m a selfish mom to be and care only about myself. But what is healthy for my body will also be healthy for my unborn baby that I’ve been carrying. Yes, also I spoiled my self with what I’ve craving. I wasn’t a big fan of ice-cream or ice/cold drink at all and yes, carbs. But I let my self have what I’ve been crave for while I’m pregnant because it’s good for my mental. But also I need to pull my self back and eating something healthy. By choose to eat healthy carbs, healthy ingredients and control how much calories I choose receive per day that already calculated including nutrition for my baby. It’s sounds complicated. Let’s say I have been eat more just plus .5 of amount of food I’ve been eating previously before I’m pregnant. I’m gaining 1-1.5 kilograms every months. My OB doctor happy that I’m healthy because I gain the right weight for my pregnant. The old wives tails have said it right. I’m eating by using brain and heart bigger then my stomach. But use it on the healthiest way. Because my plus on is so tiny. They need nutrition. But not a twice as much as I usually eat.
Ps. And its important to keep exercising while pregnant. It’s the key to many things. Healthy body, healthy baby both are mentally happy and less morning sickness or even non.

Mom to be #1.
I’m in halfway of my journey 20weeks happily pregnant. Couldn’t ask for more, so happy and at the same time is very nervous. As longer as I’m pregnant I become realized that it is very important how I will living my life from now. Because my next priority will be the best thing that waiting for. Dealing with my emotions while pregnant is not easy for me also I’m sure it would be very difficult on my husband. But as a mother to be, supportive and understanding from life partner is very matter. And I feel thankful for it. I’m trying to stay in a good shape as much as I can. Exercise is a big part of my pregnancy. Release stress, create positivity, create strength, also amazingly help my body managing morning sickness. Because since I’ve pregnant I’ve been stay active and never have to deal with the worst.
My activity during my blissful journey:
���Passes First trimester by walking and light stretching (light yoga), meditate and a lots of rest. •Now I’m on second trimester still keep exercises with strength training (did lots of squats), light weight lifting, walking or jogging, stretching/ yoga and meditate or prey also lost of nap time.
Tip: if I have evening schedule, I will make sure I take a nap at least 1hour and half for recharge my body.
But these whole activities have to be approved from my doctor to make sure it’s all safe.
Other then keep my self active. Healthy eating routine is also important. I’m doing 5meals a day including my snacks or dessert. I allow my self to have what I’ve craving. But have to make sure that all the ingredients of what I select to have is good and safe enough for my pregnancy by selects an organic and fresh ingredients, warm and cook meals and not go over limits for food that have rich of mercury. I do stop eating immediately if I’m feeling full and will start eat again when I’m hungry. Just not try to over stretching my stomach just because I’m craving. Because during pregnancy the body will crave for more food naturally. So, I’m not break my limits. But still eat with happy tummy. Being pregnant is the healthiest moment I ever been. Because whatever I eat I need to make sure it is good enough for my little one and my self. I’ve gain about 3lbs/ each moth in my first trimester and 5lbs/ during my second trimester. It’s matters to have a healthy diet during pregnancy for my healthy journey and healthy future. Average baby will weight only 5.5lbs-10lbs. So, it make me think why healthy eating and exercise is the must for my pregnancy.
Other than food, exercise and sleep. Is just keep my self happy and busy with baby’s nursery and Mommy’s journey.
Love,

Carrots/ Ginger/ Tangerine Booster.
I have pet at home. The are 2 dogs and both are big fan of carrots, my husband also like to have raw carrots with dipping sauce. For me carrot is okay…. vegetable, I can eat but not a fan. I feed carrots to my dogs as a snack as well as (I feed) my husband. But for him he’s more fancy I need to add more variety. So, this time I made carrots juice shot for my love.
Why it have to be carrots? According all love I have for husband. I believe that all the wives would want to give a good health to their gentleman.
Carrots have •Vitamin A: That will help with vision good for keep his eyes healthy from looking at their phone or computer screen for so long, Antioxidants Beta-carotene absorbed in the intestine and convert to vitamin A. Beta-carotene is also know that is good benefit for young man because it may play a protective role against Prostate Cancer yet the beta-carotene also powerful to help for digestion. Anti-oxidant also help with blood pressure regulation. Oh!! do not forget Anti-oxidants is great for youth of skin (Woman will benefit from drink this juice too!). And also have Vitamin C, Iron and calcium.
Ginger, why I chose it? •Ginger can solve stomach problem, gassy situation, reduce pain -in this benefit ginger is know as herbal an version of pain killer that could kills inflammation, headache problem, menstrual problem -“not that my husband has it but it’s good for woman body. Because I would share some cheers with him.” Others than these benefits the warming effect from ginger also help stimulate circulation keep body and organs warm for healthy reasons, also healing the cold of cause it’s help keeps body warm. Tips: I added slices of ginger to my water bottle since I’m pregnant (I’m in my 19weeks now) to kill vomit feeling, refreshment is what I need so far.
And Tangerine ??
•Tangerine is known for Vitamin C, and fiber. This time I added to make for flavor sweet and a little bit of sour taste of tangerine is help this juice I made easy to drink and very refreshing.
Making juice:
I have mini carrots at home this time, I added about 30~ ish of mini carrots. but still need to cut is half or smaller for maintaining my juicer, throw it in. Added 2 tangerines and a 2 small slices of ginger or more of you like the taste of it. I got almost 13oz. Of juice, for some silly reason I did added 2table spoons of water. But I’m not going to do it again next time.
Other tips: if you have dog. Feed raw carrots to them as a snack is very healthy idea. It’s help with digestions, also natural mind sweet taste is healthy for them, also keep they teeth clean. Oh and They’re poo-poo will never stinks again.

I just got a new juicer and realized this is the time that I should update my cooking recipe since it been way too long.
My husband and I just moved to new place. We’ve ordered a juicer and it’s the first time I’ve own this machine. I love drinking juice … I mean, whose not like juice. Easy to drink and healthy as long as they are less-process and fresh.
I tried my juicer machine this afternoon with leftover tangerines in the fridge. But that is not the recipe I would like to share.
TOMATO•STRAWBERRY juice is the recipe to share this time.
Why it’s TOMATO•STRAWBERRY?!??! •• I’m specifically made this juice for my husband the whole benefit of it.
-TOMATO is good for male because it’s rich in Vitamin A and C yet, it’s also have rich Beta-Carotene that may protect male body from prostate cancer, Alpha-lyophobic acid that can turn glucose to energy help body cheer up all day, help body have less risk of diabetes, Choline that’s help with sleepless problem/ muscle movement and also assists in absorption of fat. And antioxidant that reduce anti-aging help skin conditions and a little facelift!
- STRAWBERRY, At first I did added Strawberry just the reason that I’m not a big fans of Tomato.. It’s taste toooooooo tomato to me ever time when I drink tomato juice. So I just purposely drop strawberries in my juicer this time. But I feel like, it hit the jackpot. Because these little cutie heart shaped fruit has loads of benefits. Such as Vitamin K, C, Antioxidants, fibers, potassium and magnesium. It is good for eye visions, bones, skin, help burn stored fat, good for weight loss, lower risk of heart disease and boost the short memory (when my husband drink it hope it will help him never forget our anniversary). Also strawberry is a symbol of Venus the goddess of love because it is heart shaped. So makes me feel like I added my love while I make this juice.
So, both are good and rich benefits it’s taste good, easy to drink. If you or you loved one is not a big fans of tomato juice.
4 tomatoes and 5 strawberries give me almost 16oz of juice, but it depends on their size. Cut it small enough to fit with your juicer and enjoy the sips!!!
It’s better to store 2-3days. But I prefer to drink it right the way.
Love,

Hand made is always the best.
It been my another passion to design and make dresses. never once believe that I will capable to do this kind of stuff, because of my low-patient persona. It is almost like fluke when I finished the dress. I’ve made my self this dress for my friends wedding back in last summer. I’ve remembered back in that time it was hard for me to choose the dress that I would wear at the wedding. I’ve been to many boutiques and online shops looking for dress. And at the end I just gave up and went to fabrics store to see if I could find the fabrics I would purchase and made my own dress. -I never made dress for anyone before, I did made a couple pieces of clothes for my husband and friends. But to made dress is beyond what I could imagine. But at the time was told my self “let’s try this” if it not work I will wear the old dress I have, I did said to my self. -whatever, my back was against the wall. So, I did start to sketch design on paper and draw the mini version of the pattern and start to make it from scratch.. I use sewing machine for the long stitches along the big ribbons for shoulder straps and length of the skirt, and using hand sew to connect the top to skirt part to make it a dress and hemming finish by hand and zipper. The secret on making this dress. I just tell my self that “ I can do it” and pictures my self styling the dress, wearing and happy with it. The most pressure part of making the dress is the fabric cost. I bought a cotton fabric from LIBERTY COTTON and this dress use almost 4miters of fabric. It’s cost me about 100 dollars ish.., I did put all my best and time almost 4days to put every pieces together. It worth everything I put it down for.
The reason I did use cotton fabric, the wedding was in Hawaii and cotton is breathable also could handle my unprofessional skill of sewing (but luckily , I did made any mistake on this dress even one stitch.). Cotton is very easy to wear and sew.
The concept of the dress. -I’ve been obsessed with Italian woman fashion. With the prints of this dress is not quite Italian style but I made the pattern inspired from Italian formal dress with bold ribbon shoulder straps bring out the feminine yet innocent side the dress. The lower cut square neck part to show collar bones and neck length that could bring sexy twist on any curve of woman. The floor length skirt also help to make the dress more formal and look classy as the dress of European princess dress. Added some fun with prints to make the dress interesting also it’s a trick to add more detail in to dress and to help cover my beginner skills.
I did styling this dress with my vintage pair of earring I’ve got it from Indonesia , colorful clutch, a pear of classy looking sunglasses ( it’s afternoon ceremony) and the simple nude heels. Also keep my make up simple with natural tone yet neat and flawless, Add some fresh flowers the I could find around me at that time on my center part low-chignon.
I’m happy to finally made my way out to see my beautiful friend who’s the bride with out any part of my dress fall off.
What do you think about this dress? Do you like how it styling?
Love,
Photo Cred: My husband, my lovely friend Nina and Simon.

New hobby that made a beautiful mind.
There’s no place like home. As much as I care about life outside meets and chats with friends, shopping and spa treatments. But really, home is the place that heart should be. When we are lucky enough to have a place and roof we can living. It is also important to make it look like place that put hearts together feeling rested and recharge an energy for the next days. I found my self enjoy gardening recently. After I’ve married, -life has changed from rushing days to days. Since after I’ve decided to become a housewife. At first it my life almost empty and very stressful because so much time I have. When I was young, I’m hardly like woman works like… Cleaning, washing dishes, laundry and yes, gardening. I wasn’t felt my self at that moment enjoy it at all. Even think it’s very boring nothing entertaining about these events. But my table has tune little by little, after I’m at my teenage. I had study in special classes for Buddhism at the temple. I wasn’t enjoy my class neither, I often lost my focus and got punished by my master who are the monks. The punishment is unharmed and never be painful but it is very irritated at the first-many time. Such as meditation by sit and take a breath, sweeps the floor or help another monks take care of garden area. At the time I was thinking “why did my master punished me this way?” Will I learn any lessons??? Finally I did asked the master why my impatient and curiously mind. It take the master so long and lost of orders with same stuffs after I asked, finally they’re told me. -“To punish it is doesn’t mean it always have to hurts them. It could be something to made them learn what’ve they done and clean there’re mind with mercy. I’ve told you to meditate and cleaning because it’s help cleans your mind and change your energy in to some positive ways. You maybe not learn it now, but this things you’ve done today will stay with the roots of your feeling one day you will understand.”
It’s take so long to understand what the master said, but now I know why turn out love to sweeps the floor instead of use vacuum machine every time, why I’m enjoy gardening. It’s clean my mind when I swiped the floor it make my self come back to center and peaceful just like meditation. I enjoy gardening because it’s growing some peaceful plants in my heart.
And gardening is my new favorite hobby since my mind had sparked with what my master said. I’m feeling so calm and peaceful. Feeling the the plants are also appreciated that I took care of them. It’s just makes everything so beautiful and happy.
-“it is that simple. Just stop and turn the back to what it makes you busy for a second watering some plants, take a deep breathe and enjoy life.”
Love,
