Back again with the natural and organic-themed beauty! As the popularity goes higher, you can tell there are more skincare and makeup brands that put the word "natural" on their products. But I would like to suggest you look beyond the tagline. Support a company that you can trust. Let me share with you how. Aside from the company integrity, I am sure we are all looking for products of good quality, especially when it comes to makeup and skincare. When natural is not enough, performance is still the number one checklist to pay attention to. Let me introduce you to a brand I just tri ..read more

Greenwashing or not, I think people start to think more eco-consciously and apply the value to their business. In Canada alone, the eco-friendly trend is getting high and higher - which is good, but you don't actually know if they try to "greenwashing" us or not. What is greenwashing? Greenwashing is the process of educating incorrect information about the sustainability of a company. In other words, giving false promises about their products or services such as ethical, eco-friendly, zero waste, even though the reality is not the case. Well, it all makes sense, hey? Since sustainabilit ..read more

Armpit - a lowkey, uninteresting body part where nobody really wants to talk about. Some people even feel embarrassed with their armpit, including me. It seems that society has its own "standard" for this particular area to be worth before we can show or talk about it in public. I guess society doesn't always know the best, huh? Taking care of your armpit is as important as other body parts. Did you know that your armpits are chock full of lymph nodes? These lymph nodes are actually an important part of your body's immune system and serve to filter toxins out of tissues. They also produce a ..read more

Let's deep dive more with Holistick Canada Essential Oil Incense ;) Holistick is a wellness-beauty brand from Canada that provides natural products inspired by Bali. As a #proudindonesian living in Canada, I am in love and fully supporting this brand (of course, because they have super amazing stuff as well).

Too much on Instagram will give you an idea of how to spend money. Usually, my biggest spend is for skincare and makeup. I rarely pay any good attention to my hair care and I think it's the time to really give a nice treatment for them.  I have several concerns for hair and scalp health such as itchy, dry scalp leads to flakes, and light limp texture, but my core problem above all is hair fall. Tried so maaaany products from the mainstream brands to organic-plant-based products, but never really feel any difference. Then I discovered this brand Function of Beauty since it was lit ..read more

How's everyone holding up here? I hope you are all well. In this time of the Covid-19 quarantine, some people are suggesting some activities to do at home, some having rest, some still work.  Whatever you guys doing during this uncertain time, I just want to say "We're in this together, you are not alone. Do things that comfort you, don't make yourself in any pressure. But remember to be safe and think about each other." My update: I am doing well here, still (thank God) working from home and do lots of cooking/baking.  And now I present to you my latest collaboration with Amel ..read more
