Beukenhof Restaurant

Beukenhof Restaurant is a European style restaurant that's located in Ullen Sentalu Museum.
After you finish your visit to the Museum, you might be hungry and interested to visit the resto or the art shop/boutique. This time, i visited the Restaurant.

The Outdoor View

There are lots of food choices and the price is pretty pricey. but i think it would be a rare occasion to do this kind of visit, so i think you must try something when you're here.

So, this resto has a vintage style and the ambiance of the place was pretty cozy. There's in  and outdoor space available, i chose the indoor room.

I ordered the Zenroro coffee (Cappuccino with cinnamon) and Irish Fish&Chips. I have to say that i like the original cappuccino (without cinnamon) better. As for the food, i think it had a great taste.

The service was good and pretty fast. At that time, there was only 3 customers. I'd like to give the other food another try :D

Innisfree Canola Honey Recipe Pack Review

Hello,

Kali ini saya akan mereview ‘Innisfree Canola Honey Recipe Pack’ J

  

Recipe pack ini merupakan semacam sample version gitu. Sepertinya tersedia versi yang lebih besarnya, karena recipe pack ini hanya berukuran 10ml. Berdasarkan review – review yang saya baca sebelumnya, recipe pack ini bisa digunakan sebanyak 3 – 4 kali pemakaian lhoooo.

Jadi, recipe pack ini adalah masker dan terdapat berbagai macam varian. Katanya sih biasanya produk recipe pack itu dijadikan tester sebelum membeli versi yang lebih besarnya. Klo cocok, bisa dibeli versi aslinya, klo gak cocok, cari varian lain yang lebih cocok donkkk :B

Menurut keterangan yang saya baca di Althea Korea, Canola Honey ini kaya akan flavonoids dan protein sehingga baik untuk kekencangan dan elastisitas kulit. Selain itu, canola honey ini juga bermanfaat unuk melembapkan kulit sehingga kulit gak tersa kering.

Recipe Pack's Purpose on Althea Korea

Setelah dua kali menggunakan Innisfree Canola Honey Recipe Pack ini saya merasa cukup puas dengan hasilnya. Sebab setelah menggunakan produk tersebut, kulit saya terasa lebih kenyal dan lembut. Selain itu kulit saya juga tampak lebih cerah bercahaya seperti matahari di pagi hari :DDDD

So far, saya merasa recipe pack ini sihhhh worth to buy. Mungkin klo ada versi yang lebih besarnya juga saya tertarik untuk membelinya.

Meskipun saya tertarik membeli kembali produk ini, tapi saya juga masih tetap suka dan ingin mencoba varian – varian masker lainnya J baik dari Innisfree atau brand lain, seperti yang sedang hits sekarang itu two step masker dari Blossom Jeju.

O ya, hal yang saya kurang sukai dari canola honey pack ini adalah stickiness yang saya rasakan saat mengaplikasikan pack nya, barangkali karena berbahan dasar madu jadi teksturnya benar – benar lengket seperti madu gitu. Selain itu aroma madunya juga cukup kuat sihhh. Tetapi packnya sendiri mudah untuk dibersihkan dan setelah penggunaan packnya terbukti sih kulit terasa kencand dan elastis gitu J

Soooo, i give this pack 3.5 out of 5 stars.

It’s really worth to buy meskipun kalau saya sebenarnya lebih suka sheet mask nya Innisfree sih (i can’t move on from the sheet mask, i love it sooooo sooooo bad J)

Demikian lah sekilas review dari saya semoga bermanfaat J

Bye!!

Stay healthy and maintain your beauty JJJ

PS : This is not a sponsored review. I bought the item myself on Althea Korea. The photos are myself, except the Althea Korea's site picture. 

Innisfree Aloe Soothing Gel Review

Annyeong!!!

I’m currently using Innisfree Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. It came in a very big green tube of 300ml. I bought it on Althea Korea. I don’t exactly know why i bought it. I just saw a lot of Soothing gel reviews and i find that one. I decided to give it a try because a soothing gel is like a multi task item. With that, you can use it as a moisturizer, mask, sleeping pack, hair pack.

Front look

I tried it and at first, i don’t really feel anything (any effect) of the soothing gel. I thought it’s just an ordinary gel. It has no scent (sometimes, i smell a slight scent of aloe). The scent is not as strong as the Nature Republic one. Personally, I prefer the Innisfree.

After a few minutes, my first impression changed. I kinda love it because it did soothe my skin. My skin felt really moist and it felt so great. I use it as moisturizer sometimes and to soothe my scars. I hope the scar will get better or gone if i use it regularly.

The only thing that i don’t really like about this soothing gel is because it contains phenoxyethanol. As i mentioned in my previous post about Tony Moly Panda Sleeping Pack, phenoxyethanol is a preservative. And lots of “natural-based brand” use that for the replacement of parabean. I did some research about that and i don’t find a really great review about that. So, i’m not happy about product with phenoxyethanol. I even think that my body prefers parabean over phenoxyethanol. Both ingredients are not approved by Ecocert and i don’t like this fact either.

I’m really concerned about the ingredients in my products (food or skincare) because it goes on to our blood stream and if we consume a bad things, it will give a bad effect for our health. Back to the phenoxyethanol matters, in Japan and EU, this thing is allowed in condition that it’s used under 1%. But as we use lots of products regularly, the total amounts of this can increase. And that’s not a good thing i think.

So, i love this product because it does soothe my skin and i’ll see if it really works for my scars (i’ll give you an update about this in the future). But i’m interested to try on another brand called “Aromatica” if i run out of this product. Because that one is Ecocert-certified and i’d like to inform you about the difference effect after using it.

*Update info : it can't be used to diminish my scars, but we can use it as a first aid for a little wound we get when we use tight sandals or something like that.. it makes the recovery faster. 

So, that’s all for me about Innisfree Aloe Soothing Gel.

Stay healthy and maintain your beauty, byeeeee J

Tony Moly Panda’s Dream White Sleeping Pack Review

Hellooooo alll,

It’s been a long time since my last post and i’m sorry for that.

Now, i’m going to review this cute Panda sleeping pack that i bought from Althea Korea.

I bought it like a month ago, and I've been using the panda ever since.

I used it once or twice a week because when i first got it, i tried to use it almost every day and it caused me breakouts. Not really bad, but i’m not comfortable with it and after been searching about the sleeping pack things, i decided to use it once or twice a week. And i don’t get breakout anymore. It’s all okay now.

Ok, here is my review after been using this for a month ([’m still using the product ‘till now :)]

First of all, i have to be honest that i bought this pack because the packaging. It’s sooooo cute because it looks like a cute little panda (you can see the picture above). And i love the cuteness sooo much. Well, I can’t read what’s on the package because it’s in hangul, but the product mention the production date and the expiration date is a year after you open the pack (it’s written 12m on the pack). 

Other than that, the scent is sooooo good and refreshing :) i really love it. The texture of the cream is not thick at all and it will eventually absorb to your skin after few minutes.

Next, i’m going to talk about the ingredients:

You can check the ingredients' picture and i don’t really find anything weird or dangerous. Moreover, it said in other site that it’s free from parabean, mineral oil, etc (look at the picture below this). But it contains the phenoxyethanol, i’m not sure about this ingredients (I’ve done a research regarding to phenoxyethanol and i found out that this one is a kind of preservative may be a replacement for parabeans, but i don’t know if it’s safer or not). Plus, it still use water in it, i think that purified water or mineral water is commonly used in lots of skincare products and it might be better than just water (it’s just my personal opinion).

Anyways, i personally love this product because i think that it makes my skin get brighter and healthier. It also does moisturize my skin and in the morning (especially after using it), i feel so fresh and relaxed. So i think it does a god job for me.

Another thing that i love about this one is it doesn’t feel sticky at all. It might feel a lil bit stick for a couple of seconds but then the formula is perfectly absorbed to your skin once you apply it to your face.

For your info, I also use the cream as a moisturizer before i put on my make up (sometimes). It feels really good.

The product claims is to make your skin smooth and moisturized and i think it perfectly does its job so my conclusion is i like the product and i’ll continue to use this product and if there’s any changes or anything new i’ll inform you about the product.

Last but not least, this is just for your info. There are lots of sleeping pack brand. And this item is currently a hype as a night time skincare step for Korean (especially women). The one that really famous and in my wish list is the sleeping pack by Laneige [i hope i’ll get a chance to try the product one day :)].

Bye - bye all, thank you for reading this my personal opinion about the product. Please tell me your opinion about this and don’t hesitate to tell me (via comment or email) if you find my mistake here or if you have something to say about the product. I hope this review could be helpful for you :)

Thank you : D

Stay healthy and maintain you beauty.

See yaaaa

EDCO 2013

Good night, everybody. How was your day???
I hope you had a wonderful day like I had today.
Honestly, i can't call it wonderful because in fact not really.

Why??
If you wonder about that, let me tell you my stories today.

Today was my first time to come and became a participant in debate competition.
Can you imagine it? DEBATE!!
i never did it before and i don't know if i want to do it again.
It may be sound simple or usual for you, but for me, following this competition is not something usual.
I don't really like anything that has to do  with debate. It seems a lil' bit scary for me.
First, I don't really like to talk.
I'm not an honest man. I'm not always say what i think straightly. One of my lecture said that it's the habit of Indonesian people. They take everything for granted ant that's why Indonesian people don't get their right. They don't have brave to fight for it. As Indonesian people, for some reasons i have to say that i agree. Well, it happens to me.

Words can hurt. 
That's why I try to use the good words, try to be patient (although i want to scream my dislike sometimes), but yes i don't have enough brave to do that.

Back to debate things,
I was in group with Wuri and Menia.
We did the three debates in pre-eliminary round.
Both of Wuri and Menia did their job very well while i just astonished by the condition of the debate (btw, it was my first debate and i don't exactly know how to do the debate)
We were against the team of IKK, TP 1 and JIAI 1.
To be honest, we thought that our journey would end after the 3rd debate, BUT, surprisingly we become 1 one 8 teams that went through to the quarter  final ( seriously, that time i didn't know what i should feel, happy or sad.)
And when my team competed in the debate against the 1st rank on the list. BLAM!! That was such a dead penalty for me (especially) because i didn't know what my team mate thought.
And as we had been predicted, we lost. We didn't go through to the next round, but we were happy. ( I think i'm the happiest one because i don't want to compete again tomorrow, and my head was filled by the desire to go to IIC). I'[m so sorry guys, i didn't do as good as you both did :(
And I also wanna say my big apology to the boy from JIAI 1, I'm so sorry for what i've done and wherever you are, I hope you can forgive me.

Ok, after doing this debate, i realized that i'm so lack of critical thinking. I couldn't do my job well because i wasn't really well-prepared and then i didn't really think that debate could be so 'hot'. I took many lessons from today and i think i have to fix my lots of mistakes. I need to evaluate myself about that things. I have to realize that I need to grow up, to learn to think critically and generally (means that i have to think about something from many point of views). And thanks a lot to my team mates, my rivals, the adjudicators and my LO that had helped me.

Good luck to all semifinalist that will be competing tomorrow. :D
