Bikram Yoga: Hot Stuff to do in Jakarta

26 positions for Bikram Yoga

First time I heard Bikram Yoga, I thought it was some kind of kinky sex combine with Yoga. I was so curious. So I started a small research on YouTube (Yes, I search for 'what i think as' porn in YouTube). I was surprise it was a different kind of porn. It was porn for sport maniac. I mean in a good way. All the moves seems pretty easy and fun to do. I widen my search through Jakarta/Indonesia Bikram Yoga, turned out Jakartan seems to think Bikram Yoga is pretty cool or hot (suit yourself).

A couple hours after starting my research on Bikram Yoga, at this point, I am already hooked and baited by Bikram Yoga. I decided to find a class with reasonable price. Then I found a link on voucher selling website that they were selling Bikram Yoga voucher for really really cheap price. My boyfriend encouraged me to buy the voucher. Well, actually he bought the voucher for us. 35$ for 10 visits per person. Not so bad, compare to 150$ per month.

We started doing Bikram Yoga on weekend. Unfortunately the place was pretty far from our place, so we only managed to visit the place 3 times. We were both too lazy.

During the visits, we learned to breath properly during the practice and respecting other's exercise is highly important. There are rules inside the hot studio; like you are not suppose to leave the room, if you are tired you may sit down, you are not suppose to talk or disturb other people, make sure to drink plenty of water before-during-after, and all other rules. Tho some of Jakartans seem to think less of the rules; some of them comes late to the hot studio, talk to their friends, or drinking water when it is not the time. Ah well, what do you expect.

But the practice of Bikram Yoga was wonderful. Too bad we didn't come the day after our first day to get use to the practice. We also gave up on the 7 more visits. The place where way too far, taxi fee cost a lot and we are way too lazy to take public transportation.

If only, I had a chance of getting another voucher for Bikram Yoga for a closer place. I would gladly buy it. The exercise was fun and relaxing in the same time. I would like to do it again someday.

Anyway, if you are Jakartan and currently wanting or planning to join Bikram Yoga exercise, these will be my recommendation for the studios.

Quick Review: Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

Gyaaaaaaaaaaa Finally I got my Wonder Pore. This is the product that I have always want for past couple of months I saw a blogpost about it.

I asked boyfriend to buy me this in Incheon Airport on his way to Indonesia from America. He looked around for Etude House store but couldn't find it. I forgot the store was on Garuda Terminal, not in the main terminal. So he had to visit 3 Duty Free stores to find it.
Funny thing happened when he was looking for this stuff. He keep having trouble with the sales person since they barely speak English (weird they work in Airport with soooo many foreigners). He said 2 sales person in 2 previous stores hinted (his guess) that the Wonder Pore is solo popular that it is always sold out. So when boyfriend asked for it, they just said "No more pore, no more pore!". I guess maybe what they meant to say is that the Wonder Pore is sold out..hahaha same thing also happened when he asked for Cracked Nail Polish from Face Shop, the sales person just said "no more nails..no more nails" makes no sense at all.
Finally he found it on the 3rd store...pfffffuiiih. I am just so glad he did.

He bought me the biggest size of 500ml for price of 15$ almost the same price with Indonesian price for Wonder Pore 250ml.
See the comparison of how big it is with my hand.

I got one free Alphabet Mask "B-Bulgarian Rose" yeaaay

Here is how it looks like on the back and side cover of the packaging;

And here is what the lid of the bottle looks like;

push on the lid and the liquid will come out.

I put a short video on how to get the liquid out.  Here

The bottle is too big for me to use and according to the picture on the back cover of the packaging, it says I can use it as face mist too. So I took some of it out and put it on a pink bottle.

Hehe it looks so cute when it stands near the big bottle. I just used it once or twice. So I won't be able to make result review yet. But I will try to update it once I got the visible result. Btw, I also planning to try this product on my boyfriend's skin. He has orange skin pore because he used to have acnes. I would like to see if this product is as good as what people say even if the skin problem is more visible. I have pores but not as big. What annoys me the most is the tip of the nose area. It's clogged. I hope this product will make it better.

Hope you enjoy the quick product review. Follow me for update on the product result. I will try to review Face Shop: Face It CC Cream and Tony Moly: Luminous Aura CC Cream and the comparison of both products.

Stay Tune and Stay Healthy!

New Year 2014 Beauty Resolution and Late Christmas Gifts

Hi there, beloved readers!!!

Happy New Year of 2014! Yuhuuuuuu!!!!
Have a great holiday? I hope you did.

I just got back 3 days ago to Jakarta after 8 days Overland trip to Bali-Bromo and boyfriend who has been away for 6 months also coming back 2 days ago.

He bought me some stuffs from Korea since his flight had to make a stop in Incheon. He had to stay overnight there and decided to buy me some stuffs that I have always wanted.

These are what he got for me;

1. Korean Snacks and Coffee
2. Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner and Alphabet mask "B-Bulgarian Rose"
3. Tony Moly Luminous Aura CC Cream
4. Face Shop Face it Color Control CC Cream

I forgot to put other pictures of candy and snacks that he also bought from Korea. He bought Korean sambal/chili paste (Ssamjjang and Gochujang) for me. He has no idea what was it. I guess he thinks it was pudding or something. Silly guy.  Too bad he can't find Smart Digital BB Cream from Face Shop and Nail Polish too. He got this from Duty Free. They only sells the best seller stuff.

New Year Resolutions

I went to Bali for an 8 days Overland trip of Bali-Bromo. My skin color has become more tan now. I spent New Year party in Kuta Beach with so manyyyyy people. It is like people from all over the world came to celebrate New Year in Kuta and Seminyak area.

I was with my Indonesian, Argentinian, and Italian friends there. My 2 beautiful Argentinian friends taught me what they usually do for New Year tradition that will bring good luck. I think it is like a cleansing ceremony that involves people throwing water. They also taught me to say 'Cing" for a toast drink, like 'cheers'. My Italian friend, on the other hand, opened a bottle of wine right after the New Year and told us that it is better to drink wine on New Year. He taught us to wash our ears with Wine as a New Year tradition. It was soooo much fun.

Anyway, this New Year made me thinking. Do I have any resolution this year? I guess I do and some it involves Beauty life too. Here they are;
1. Write more blog posts
2. Learn more tricks to do make up
3. Be braver on using make up ( I am new on make up thingy, sometimes I am still too afraid of using make up)
4. Don't let others determine how you feel about yourself.
(I had some friends who seem to like commenting on people's body, especially my body parts. For example: I don't look nice in a picture because I look chubbier, or my arm looks too huge, my boobs looks shaggy, etc. Usually it always comes with 'nice' advice, like I should go to a gym and get my boobs&arms shape perfectly, or wearing clothes that will hide my horrible huge looking arms. I don't know if they mean well or maybe they did. But do they know that saying those things will just hurt the recipient? From that experience, I decided that when someone says all those horrible words to me. I will let them know that I don't like it. Hopefully they will understand. I mean we are woman with decent educational background why bother degrading ourselves by commenting on someone's body parts? Leave my body parts alone, thank you for your concern. Let me be happy with what I have. Sigh I got emotional again. I really dislike it when my friends commenting on my body parts. I love my friends but I hate what they said about my body parts. I have never ever comment about how fat her tummy looks or her face covered with acne, etc. Why? Because I know better than that and I don't know how the recipient will take it if I say those comments. I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling by saying so. I have way too many concerns other than your body parts. Besides, I think all women are pretty when they have their own flaws. It makes us humanly pretty.)
So that were my Beauty Resolutions.

Do you have any Beauty Resolutions for 2014? If you have it, do share it with us. Maybe a new blogpost about your New Year Beauty Resolution and share it with your reader. Tag me or copy paste your link on the comment section, I will definitely check it out.

Happy New Year, Happy People.

First Vlog: Beginner Vlogger, Night Make up Routine

Hiyaaa...

I am excited to let you know that finally I muster my courage to upload this first video of me reviewing/commenting/telling on Beauty Products or Beauty Routine.

But I have to remind you, I was really nervous on my first video and I messed up al the grammars. It was like complete gibberish. However, I still want to put myself more out there. This is definitely a beginner video. I haven't even figure it out on how to create better video. This video that I upload was not going to any editing process. I want to be honest to the viewer that I am indeed posting my first video. I promise I will keep learning to make better quality video and better way of delivering speech on Beauty Products.

This video is about my night routine. I will post it on other blog post for detail review of the products I used on the video. I hope you will like my video despite of the lack of professionally in my part.
Night Cosmetic Routine

Have a great day, Chikas!

Liebster Award and What is it?

Horeeee I got nominated to get Liebster Award. I got so excited this morning when I read a blog comment that someone nominated me for this award. So, I thought what kind of award is this? I decided to research more for this award. So here is what I found;

Liebster award is a kind of like chain mail. There won't be any team celebrating your winning, no team giving you the award or no gift what so ever. Definitely no strings attach. It is a fake award created to get more traffic ( I suppose, or any other reason). Here is a link for more thorough research on Liebster Award Liebster Origin.

There are so many rules and it keep changing all the time, someone said you have to nominate 11 blogger with less than 200 follower, some other said to nominate 5 blogger with less than 3000 readers. The one that I got is to nominate 11 blogger with less than 200 follower and answer 11+make 11 question for those you nominated. It does require a little bit extra work. But no harm in trying. This Liebster Award might not be genuine but It might help new blogger or less famous blogger to get more traffic and to be recognized by readers.
