There’s a very tragic disaster overwhelm my lovely country, Indonesia. In 26 October 2010, Mentawai hit by Tsunami there’s about 311 people died and 379 people are missing. In the same day, there’s only 35km from my house. Merapi Mountain erupted. 30 people died and bringing giant effect for around my place. It’s very heartbreaking, deep condolences for them #prayforindonesia

29 October, I went to the Pinasthika. I saw many creative adv in there and was shocked to see the amazing year books made by the local adv agency. I didn’t know if pop up year books is a trend now, haha! I wish my year book was pop up! Congratulation for Pinasthika winner and I backed home immediately because the situation was not conducive.

30 October, my plan was going to go to Jogja Fashion Week. But the reality was not support it, Merapi Mountain erupted (again) and the rumble was the biggest than yesterday. Almost Jogja covered by the ash dust fallen from Merapi Mountain. We couldn’t see anything over 10 meter, it was very dangerous go to somewhere. I decided to stay at home, even I was very disappointed, but it’s for the best.

31 October, me and my boyfriend went around Jogja to look the progress of situation. There were still several places covered by ash dust, but not that worst than yesterday. Even I was on car, I used masker just for in case if the dust came inside the car. I have very bad lung. So I will chock to the dead if I’m inhale lot of ash dust to my lung. My mom called and text me everyday, she was very anxious about the condition in Jogja and asked me to back home to Jakarta. My mom is overprotect sometimes.

Me and my boyfriend took an unhealthy breakfast. I ordered Vegan Italian mushroom pizza and Vegan calzones. Backed home, I watched Ghost Whisperer all day and ate vegan frozen food for dinner.

Today everything is back to normal, but the Merapi Mountain is still in dangerous condition.

I wear my old batwing blouse and brownie short pants that I bought yesterday. In here there’s no autumn season, but when I saw this pants, I think that’s cute color for autumn touch and it’s still logical wear short pants here. It’s hound’s tooth short pant with broken cheeks pattern; I really like it even it’s not in black color. And right now I’m crazy in love with ballerina headband, I wear it almost everyday.

It’s my very scary Halloween and hope everything will fine for everyone in this world.

Hi there! How are you? I’ve been busy lately. Big sorry for take a long time for updating my blog and I’m really surprise to look my visitor went through 1000 visitor, Gasp! How can be?!! Thank you so much for visiting my blog it means so much for me. I heart you!

Summer is coming and people ask me what you wear in the Summer, without slept on matter I say “I wear black and white or dark color as usually” I love color, but like what I told you before black and white is so me.

My friends asked me “How do you find the best make-up for sensitive skin?” this the answer (hope the answer can help you too)
1. Scan labels to make sure products are hypo-allergenic, noncomedogenic, and fragrance free, which are gentler to skin.
2. Learn to spotless irritating makeup, such as foundation free of anti-agers like retinol, neutral-toned shadow that packs fewer potentially irritating color pigments, and cream blush, which is made with less preservatives than the powder kind
3. Do a patch test by swiping the product behind your ears and letting it sit overnight. If skin doesn’t react its safe to use.
4. Clean brushes monthly with warm, soapy water to keep bacteria at bay.

4 -5 cups tiny broccoli florets (and chopped stalks if you like)

1 garlic clove, smashed and chopped
scant 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/4 cup almond butter
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons hot water

2 small crisp apples, cut into bit-sized pieces (if you aren't going to use the apples immediately, let them sit in a bowl of water with the juice of 1/2 a lemon)

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup toasted or candied walnuts or almonds
1/3 cup pan-fried crunchy shallots*
chives (optional)

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt as you would pasta water. Boil the broccoli just long enough to take the raw edge of - 10 or 15 seconds. Drain and immerse it in cold water (or let cold water run over it). At this point, I like to spin the broccoli in a salad spinner to get the water off, but a few good knocks against the sink in a strainer can do the trick pretty well. Set aside.

Make the dressing by sprinkling the salt over the clove of garlic. Smash the clove and chop, smash and chop - turning it into a paste. In a small bowl whisk the salty garlic paste with the almond butter, lemon juice, sugar and olive oil. Add the hot water and whisk until light and creamy. Taste, make any adjustments and set aside.

In a large bowl gently toss the broccoli, apples, red onion, most of the shallots and nuts with a generous drizzle of the almond dressing. Turn out onto a platter and finish with the rest of the shallots and chives if you like. Serve with your style.
