There was a strong demand for the Pâtisserie Series

Cream baby cream!

I'm so in love with this cute packaging cream from Steam Cream. The texture is soft and moist my dry skin. Unfortunately I cannot find this thing in Indonesia. This cream can be used for body, hands and also feet. The smell is sooo nice. Soft like a baby powder. I bought one when I went to Japan a few months ago. I had the Little Twin Star design!

For your information, Steam Cream have so many so many cute, creative, collaboration designs. Please do check their website to see the cuteness overload!

Ayat al-Kursi

Ayat Al-Kursi is one of my favorite merits from Quran. I always read this ayat everyday. A few days ago, I told my husband how I love this ayat so much. Then he said : "Why don't you find out what's the ayat means".

Then the searching is begin, and I found this from Islamic Information Center : 

"ALLAHU LAA ILAAHA ILLA HUWAL HAYYUL QAYYUMU. LAA TA'KHUDZUHUU SINATUW WA LAA NAUUM. LAHUU MAA FISSAMAAWAATI WA MAA FIL ARDHI. MAN DZAL LADZII YASFA'U 'INDAHUU ILLAA BI IDZNIHI. YA'LAMU MAA BAINA AIDIIHIM WA MAA KHALFAHUM. WA LAA YUHITHUUNA BI SYAI-IN MIN 'ILMIHII ILLAA BI MAASYAA-A. WASI'A KURSIYYUHUSSAMAAWAATI WAL ARDHA. WA LAA YA-UDHUU HIFZHUHUMAA WAHUWAL 'ALIYYUL AZHIIM"

In English :

"In the name of Allah the Most Merciful, and Compassionate Allah 

There is no god but He,

The Living, the Everlasting, 

Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep,

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. 

Who is there that can intercede with His, except by His leave? 

He knows what lies before them and what is after them, 

And they comprehend not anything of His Knowledge save as He wills. 

His throne comprises the heavens and the earth,

The preserving of them fatigues Him not, 

And He is the All-High, All-Glorious"

In Bahasa Indonesia :

Allah tidak ada Tuhan melainkan Dia yang Maha Kekal lagi terus menerus mengurus makhlukNya, tidak mengantuk dan tidak tidur KepunyaanNya apa yang di langit dan di bumi. Siapakah yang dapat memberi syafa'at di sisi Allah tanpa izinNya? Allah mengetahui apa-apa yang di hadapan mereka dan di belakang meraka, dan mereka tidak mengetahui apa-apa dari ilmu Allah melainkan apa yang dikehendakiNya. Kursi Allah meliputi langit dan bumi, Dan Allah tidak merasa berat memelihara keduanya, dan Allah Maha Tinggi lagi Maha Besar. (QS : Al-Baqarah : 255)

The reason why Ayat al-Kursi is the most excellent verse, is that this verse mentions the names of Allah Most High more than any other verse (i.e. this verse contains the most remembrance (dhikr) of Allah Most High). For example, some verses of the Quran may mention the names of Allah Most High two times, some may mention the names of Allah Most High four times, and some ten times. But in Ayat al-Kursi, the names of Allah Most High have been mentioned seventeen times. Ayat al-Kursi mentions six attributes (sifat) of Allah Most High, all six being mentioned in this single verse. The attributes mentioned are: the Divine Oneness (Wahdaniyyah) of Allah Most High, His Life (Hayah), His Knowledge (?Ilm), His Kingdom (Mulk), His Divine Power (Qudrah) and His Will (Iradah).

Heavenly words. I love this! :)

Hello, make up..

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile,

 I am just a girl who wishes for the world".

 -Marylin Monroe- 

A real woman always wanna feel beautiful and sophisticated. It's not always about the face, but also the heart and the attitude. Inner beauty comes when our heart feels happy and comfortable itself. But having a really truly nice looking face, is a 'bonus'. 

I'm a type of woman who's not that into make up. I am more a 'beauty things' like soaps, lotions, lip balms, and nail polish. But lately, I fell in love with make ups. Especially the natural and the light one. For days, I used to wear a moisturizer, compact powder, natural eye shadows, blush one, and natural lipstick. Sometimes when my lipstick fading, I retouch it with lip balm :).

Here's a tiny bit make ups that I have :

• I'm using Oil of Olay for moisturize my dry skin face. It's a vert light moisturizer and also cheap. Sometimes, I also using this BB cream from Baby Pink Mineral Cream, that I bought in Japan. It has a very flawless color. Makes my skin glowing but also natural. Love it!

• If I used the Olay moisturizer, than I used the Revlon Compact natural color. Because it's more patch the color. But if I used the BB Baby Pink, then I also used the BB Baby Pink Compact. It's a very tiny package. If I go to the party, I used this powder from NARS. 

• 
  
  

• I also using this creme eye shadows from Revlon. I like the peach one, makes my eyes more brighter. I have this new eye shadows from H&M that my sister in law bought me. It has a glittery colors, pastel and also matte. I'm sure I am gonna need this to the party.

• I love using a pencil eye liner from Revlon, NYX and a black mascara from H & M. I chose the pencil eye liner because it's more stay longer then the liquid one.

• I'm using this pink blush on from Revlon. Because makes my cheeks looks blushing and nice. I don't know why, but I just love Revlon.

• As I said it a few times, I am so into lip balms. I love the the fruity one, the vanilla one, the shea butter one, and the chocolate one. I think lip balms makes my lip more healthier. I also using this lip scrub from The Bath Box. Soap & Glory, The Body Shop, Wet & Wild, Shiseido  and H & M are my favorites!

• I love the natural colors for my choosen lipsticks. I used to wear 117 Almost Nude from Revlon, and then Color Busrt also from Revlon, and this shocking pink H & M lipstick that my sister in law gaves.

• I also a lotion or body butter person. I used Shea body butter from The Body Shop (which is already run out), this Victoria Secret Pure Seduction lotion. But my favorite most is, this Little Twin Star lotion that I bought in Japan. Too bad, I only bought 1 pack. 

• The last but not least, I have these favorite scents that I always used. I used this Victoria Secret Pink Lush body mist and White Musk Libertine body mist at home. Escepcially before bed time. I love the sweet and cute smell. For a days, I'm using Christian Dior J'adore or Glamour Excessive from Bourjois. The smell is soooo long lasting!

So, all the woman out there, let's make ourselves more beautiful not only with a good make up, but also a good heart and attitude.

If you were a boat, my darling

A boat, my darling

I'd be the wind at your back

If you were afraid, my darling

Afraid, my darling

I'd be the courage you lack

If you were a bird, then I'd be a tree

And you would come home, my darling, to me

If you were asleep, then I'd be a dream

Wherever you are, that's where my heart will be

Boat Song by JJ Heller

Stop complaining!

Lately issues are the World Cup 2014 and also the Election for the new President and the Assistant President. For me, the second one is more important. The election is for the future. A good men and a good women have a right to choose. Because we are the national people. Once, I read in my friend status about how he "don't fucking care!" about the election. Because the reason is "Those people cannot do their works well". I tell you what my dear friend, to manage this Country is the most hardest thing that a person can do. It's not a simple thing like you write a status on your Path or something. It is a hard job! And it's not funny when you posted a photo about how you chose and 'coblos' the two candidates faces. Where is your empathy and your respect for this Country? Sorry to say, but you are so shallow. And no doubt in my mind, I unfollowed you as my friend list.

Before you judge something, make sure you are perfect. And if you are complaining, you are the one who must find the solution. If you cannot have the solution, then stop complaining and whining! Thank you. 

You want some tea?

Off course I would love to. Especially because I am so into this Yogi Tea. This tea is very unique, because it has a wisdom words on the tea bag lable. But the most important thing is, this tea is very healthy and made from organic. I like the smell, because it's so spicies!

Luckly, my sister in law brought it for me from Holland. Because trust me, you won't find this tea in Indonesia :)

Bookworm

                                                 "I read books not because I have to.

                                                          But because I love to"

                                                                  -anonymous-

You know what, sometimes I think bookstore is a castle for me to find and read lots of good books. For me, reading is one of my biggest hobby. I don't say that I'm a smart person who always collected good and 'heavy' books.  I just love to buy and read books, if I know there is 'something' about the books. My favorite writers are : Nicholas Sparks, Paulo Coelho, Jostein Gaarder, Mitch Albom, and lately, I read books from John Green. And soon, I am going to read some books from Haruki Murakami. There are so many talented people who can write a nice and unbelievable stories. 

just read this book a month ago. The story is very touchy. And a week ago, I saw the movie on cinema, and yes, it was also nice. And I lied if I say 'I'm not crying" :)

Still read this book till now. And I think it's a very nice and funny story. I hope I can finish it soon!

And soon, I will buy and read all of these books from Haruki Murakami

The Holy month

Today is the 6th day for Moslem doing their fasting in this month. It is Ramadhan month. People say that Ramadhan is 'The Holy month' to all of Moslem. Maybe is true. Because in this month, people always increase their worship. I believe we all increase our Shalat time and praying time. Which is good I think. But, what about after Ramadhan? What will it be if the Ramadhan is over? Does people still care about praying? About how to act nicer to everyone else and about their fasting. No eating or drinking allowed? 

I think that's the point of Ramadhan or holy itself. With or without Ramadhan, we all people must do those things. Must have a good heart, without counting how much the reward or merit we can get. Well, it depends to themselves by the way. I remember, I wrote this post about Ramadhan also. And still, sometimes I have this 'question mark'. 

?

Kenapa hanya di saat bulan Puasa saja orang-orang
berlomba-lomba untuk bersabar?
Untuk beribadah?
Dan untuk bersikap baik?
Apa kabar jika di bulan-bulan yang lain?
Orang-orang pasti nya sudah berubah lagi!
