Summer Getaway in Tanjung Putus

As I said on the previous post, I spent my Eid al-Fitr holiday last July in Tanjung Putus Island, Lampung with my family. We went there almost every year since I was a kid and truth be told, the island never made me feel bored after all this time. Call me an island girl, because I'm a sucker for beautiful quiet beach and this one in Tanjung Putus is definitely on top of my list.

Moreover, Tanjung Putus also has a very wonderful underwater life to be explored. I can go snorkeling anytime, no limit, as often as I want. Also I can canoeing around the villa too to enjoy the scenery where mountains and sea collide. For you who would like to have a calming and lazy holiday, I personally recommend Tanjung Putus Island for you. Here you can enjoy your free high quality time away from the city crowd with your loved ones.

Oh, no need to worry about the food during your stay in Tanjung Putus Island. Even it's located far from the city, the villa where I stayed will give their guest the privilege to taste the seafood fresh from the ocean. You can even go mussel hunting or squid fishing in front of the villa in the afternoon until late evening. The mussel and squid will then be cooked by the chef in charge. Don't think the chef in this villa will be looked like the chef in a five star hotel, because it's definitely not the same. The chef is also the contact person if you have any further inquiries regarding your stay in Tanjung Putus Island.

Kindly watch the video diary I took during my 3 days 2 nights trip. You can get a glimpse of how life's going in Tanjung Putus as well as the delicious food and short footage of the underwater life. Prepare to drool over the coral reef, yes, the coral reef (besides the food, of course). ↓↓

Spent my summer holiday last month on Tanjung Putus Island, Lampung. It's an island of my childhood and I will never ever get bored of having a short escape there. The beach is not oh-so-fantastic actually, but the coral reef is. If you ever want to have a calm summer holiday, try Tanjung Putus because it's located from the hustle of the city. Besides you can go snorkeling or canoeing err-day and err-time (if you want to). I personally never want to miss the snorkeling part. Will tell you more about my trip on the next post and it's coming real soon (I promise)!

PS: took all of the photos only using my phone, hence I'm sorry for the low quality.

Anyway, how do you usually spend your summer holiday? I am a beach kinda girl and would never say no to beach. Are you with me? Kindly let me know on the comment below :)

XOXO,

Flower in the Dark

Forever 21 Top | Uniqlo Skirt | La Dulce Necklace and Stocking | Selkius Maxwel Shoes | Unbranded Clutch

The title of this post kinda inspired by my skirt that makes me think, "it's amazing that flowers can look extremely beautiful even in the dark." Somehow I also think that we should be like flowers who look beautiful even we are going through hard times in our lives. Be beautiful in your own way. No need to compete with others. Because just like flowers, they are all beautiful no matter what type of flower you see. And people always have preferences over their favorite flowers. So, keep blooming beautifully and let them in awe.

Oh, it's a throwback post anyway. It was what I wore to Indonesia Fashion Week 2014. I think it will be wasted if I don't post the picture on my blog ;)

Have a nice weekend,

Daily Make Up Essential

Have you ever really eager to dress up but feel very lazy to put any make up on?

Well, I feel you :")

Make up always been girls' best friend but sometimes I feel not in the mood to wear make up, even when I'm traveling out of town. Ever since then, I always bring my sunnies to cover up half of my face! Very useful to hide your eyes with no make up on. No doubt for it, right? And the best part of it is you'll still look presentable and stylish as well. Say YEAY for the win-win solution!

But, then.. you know you can't wear sunnies everyday and everywhere you go right? That's why I also wear make up for my daily activities at college or to hang out with friend around the town. I always choose for natural-and-friendly-themed make up to accompany me everyday. I never wear eye shadow and not really into it except when I go to a party or anything formal. 

Another confession from me about make up: Shopping for make up at the mall can take a lot of time! Do you agree with me? 

If yes, than I have a solution for you! Just discover that Zalora Indonesia have a huge collection of make up to complete your collection! It's on the beauty section!

I can now feel relieved when my make up is running out because I can purchase it from Zalora anywhere at anytime. You should try to head over to Zalora Indonesia or simply click here to browse all of their make up collection with many popular brand!

Here are my daily make up essential that I wear almost everyday and thank God, I can find them on Zalora Indonesia!

ETUDE HOUSE Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit 1 | ETUDE HOUSE Dream On Face Powder 01 | THE BODY SHOP Brown & Liner Kit 02 Brown/Brunette | THE BODY SHOP Liquid Eyeliner 01 Black | ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Proof Mascara Washable | ETUDE HOUSE Lovely Cookie Blusher 06 Ad

Hope my daily make up essential suit you well and is it okay if I give you bonus? Yes? Okay, then here are selfie(s) of me wearing my make up :)

Have a nice day! XOXO
