Cara Menjaga Bibir Lembab Sepanjang Hari (DIY Lip Scrub)

Saya dulu memiliki bibir yang sangat kering dan pecah-pecah. Meskipun sudah pakai lip balm, nggak tahu kenapa bibir saya tetap kembali pecah. Padahal sudah mencoba berbagai lip balm, tapi hasilnya tetap sama. Matte lipstick juga serasa menjadi nightmare buat saya, karena hasilnya akan pecah-pecah juga. Not looking good, really.

DIY: Sequin Phone Case

It's been a long time since I posted a DIY article on the blog as my life on campus is quite hectic. So, I don't really have time to make DIY. The last DIY post was on last January when I re-created my old binder to be a lot more vintage just like what I wanted. Currently, my posts are mostly about skincare and makeup as you may notice. 

Sudah lama rasanya saya nggak memposting sebuah DIY di blog ini. Sebenarnya, saya juga nggak punya waktu untuk membuat DIY karena sedang cukup sibuk di kampus. Terakhir DIY yang saya publish sudah beberapa bulan lalu (bulan Januari), tentang mendekorasi binder lama agar jadi lebih bagus. Sekarang, blog saya memang lebih dihiasi dengan skincare dan makeup. Kalian juga pasti memperhatikannya kan. Hehe.

Kemarin, saya baru saja mendesain ulang blog ini, bagaimana nih menurut kalian tentang blog layout saya yang baru? Saya juga ingin menerbitkan artikel baru, tapi sepertinya belum ada ide sampai akhirnya saya ingat kalau belum membuat artikel tentang DIY binder ini.

Birthday Gift Ideas for Boyfriend

Boys don't like the same thing like us, indeed they don't like cute things such as trinkets, or something too girly (of course, they aren't girls. LOL). But they might like surprises from us, because they will think we care enough to them, and always there to make them happy. Especially, when it comes to his birthday, it will be an annual moments of happiness that will always be remembered.

So, here I'm gonna show you a birthday gift ideas that you might want it to be gifted to your boyfriend. It was J's birthday on last 24th November, and I gifted him a little surprise that I sent to his friend's rental (because he's there and I'm here, and he doesn't have his own rental bcz he's studying at a military-based school, so ya..)

It's a crafted by me to surprise him, so let's take a look at my DIY stuffs I gifted to him.

That's the whole package. It's really simple because I know J doesn't really like something too much, he likes being simple. I made the box myself, with a cardboard, and I just simply wrapped it with a wrapping paper. I like to make a DIY, so I decided to make my own box for him.

And that is the inside. I made some quotation cards that contains of my own words to say Birthday to him. A card a word, and I put a hint at the back of each side with number of dots. So, he can arrange it to be a quote that is connected. So sad, I didn't capture it to show to you the backside, but the quotation cards were captured in above picture. I still have the file, so I'll show you the sample:

I also made card photos contain of birthday cake, flag banner decoration, foil balloon in J letter, and the main gift. It's better for you to use such kind of polaroid camera, because I don't have it so I decided to make it in square with a same size as the quotation cards.

And then.....about the final wrapping, I only added a cord then wrapped it around the box.

I also inserted two torn tiny papers contain of sentence to make it not look so plain. Hehe

Then, done! I hope it inspires you give a surprise for your boyfriend's birthday..
Thanks for reading.

The Art of Life

Moving away from hometown for college by myself doesn't really matter for me. I like to be free basically, because I don't like being ruled that much :p I can assume that I am independent enough. Believe me or not, I rarely feel homesick. I love being alone, I love my spare time so much! I always enjoy every second of my life. However, I'm still a kinda spoiled girl when it's the time, I will visit hometown if I have time since it's only 3 - 4 hours from my college.

DIY: Scalloped Top

One thing I love to do when I become a college student is that I don't need to wear a uniform again. I can wear outfits that I like, mix and match clothing items as I want.
