January Madness Recap

I can't believe today is the end of January! New year seems like yesterday and tomorrow we will face the second month of 2016. For me, January is all about detox, workout, and friendship. It's been a great month so far and I was thinking to make a monthly madness recap on my blog by the end of the month. Let's get back to what happened in January. As I said on my previous post, the first month of 2016 should be full of detox. What happened in 2015 have to stay in 2015, it's time to tossed away every toxic in your life and January help me did those things.

Green juice is my best friend and I tried to workout as much as I can. It feels good to feel stronger after a sweaty body combat and cardio still on top of my list.

Squad Goals. Surround yourself with positive people and you will live a happy life! That's true. I feel like this month I have so much fun with my friends. We went out for some nice food, talked about our crazy life, making fun of someone we hate because apparently we all hate a same person, and after all we had too much laugh. I'm really grateful I could always had a good times with old friends, new friends, and co-workers. I also make some new friends this month which is surprisingly because I knew them from unexpected places and they always make my day even better.

Work and project. January is about planning. As you might know, I work as Social Media Specialist and I also have some side project such as fashion business and music thingy. I've been really busy in the past few months and I feel like I can't manage my side project. So this month is all about plan and plan. If you haven't write any plan for anything that you want to chase this year, you better start now! Dreams wouldn't come true over night, so write down on your journal and make some plan about it.

Trip. Work hard is a must but you also need vacation. I have a few plan for some weekend getaway and to make it come true, January should be a month to manage everything so we don't need to worry about what would happen on the next month and so on.

Treat Yourself. After detox and workout, of course we all need to have a day off and get a nice snack once in a while. The day I have too much to do at work is the day I need to have something like chocolate or a frappuccino.

Kahlua. By the end of the day, what's your favorite drink? My favorite is Kahlua. You've been work really hard this month and you deserve your favorite drink.

Justin Bieber? Wait what? I'm not Belieber but I should confess that I love some of his songs from his new album. I love Skrillex and I think they make a great collaboration. But the song that I love the most is Love Yourself. Well, no surprise because apparently Ed Sheeran involve in this song and I fell in love with the lyrics! I feel like I need to shout those lyrics out loud and that's why I posted a song cover of Love Yourself. Feel free to check it out:

That's how my January madness. It was great! Nothing much about fashion though because I haven't attend any fashion event this month. But January left me with some great moment with so many surprise.

What's your favorite January moment?

How To Find Happiness Before 2016

Floral Printed Shirt // Pull & Bear

Short Pants // Etienne Aigner

Sneakers // Guess

2015 is almost over! It's time to look back to the weirdest year ever. Why I said the weirdest year ever? Because every good and bad moment on 2015 always came to me like a lightning. Everything went so fast, every single good and bad moment came without knocking, they came like a zig zag hit me like a dart. But I feel grateful of everything that happened in 2015 because this year has taught me a lot of things and you should be grateful too!

By the end of the year, I started to reflect on the things that happened in 2015 and I know that 2016 would be a great year if you let yourself to have a great year. As a person with anxiety disorder, trying to be less over thinking is the hardest thing that I could do, but this year I feel like I need to see everything in a different perspective and I am really surprised with what I've got.

Friendship is everything
Nothing could beat my sorrow on June and that's when I know which one is my very best friend. You could have a lot of friends, but best friend is different. I'm grateful to have them in my life and when you surround yourself with positive people, your life would be so much better. Never let anyone drain your energy out of you by doing anything that makes you feel bad about yourself, your life, or anything. You deserve better!

Detox and Workout
I've been doing this a lot in 2015 and I think it's been a few months since the last time I did a Juice Cleanse, feels like I want to do it again before 2015 is over. The first benefit from detox is your health but I have my own thought with Juice Cleanse and anything like that. I want to clean all the toxic (any kind of toxic, including bad things that happened in my life) and it works really well, because it would make your body feel so much better. Beside Juice Cleanse, Cardio is also my favorite thing.

Spread Your Happiness
I rarely get mad, but when I do..It's gonna be a doomsday because usually I put my anger somewhere and one day I will blow up at the worst time. Being mad is exhausting! I lost my focus, my days are ruined, etc. That's when I start to put this in my mind: Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy. So yes, I start to make sure everything that I do will makes me happy and I kinda ignore what other people think as long as it's a positive things to do. I think everyone deserve to be happy, but are you ready to make yourself happy? Because sometimes you should do things that you never do before to be happy, get out from your comfort zone and find your happiness.

Start With A Blank Space
I read this quote somewhere and I can't remember where is it from but they said Don't get burnt by the same flame twice. New year is the best time to write your life in a blank space. You can't take back everything that happened to you in 2015 and you can choose not to look back and take it as a lesson. You can't forget things that happened to you though, but you can laugh about it one day. I don't hate the bad things that happened to me, because apparently it made me understand that I'm stronger than I thought, I know I have a very amazing best friends and a really great mother, I figured out that a psychopath is real and she might reading this blog right now (what?!? Oh hey.. hello there!), I know how to deal with my anxiety way much better than last year, and so many things that I can't explain one by one. Make a list and you know that you're more than ready for a new year.

Only 4 more days and you will say goodbye with 2015, make the best of it. End this year with happiness so it will leave you with a nice memories. Happy Holiday, everyone!

7 Things To Do When You're Sick Before Fashion Week

Stripe Shirt // H&M

Black Pants // Topshop

Sneakers Wedges // H&M

Bag // Elle

Back to basic and comfy thingy. This stripe shirt is really comfy, I got it from H&M last week. Oh and by the way, that's my new hair, I took some pictures as soon as I leave my hairdresser because I love it. My hair is too straight so I love how my hairdresser could styling it.

It's been a hectic week so comfortable clothes and chopped my hair is definitely a right decision. I was hardly take a rest in the past few weeks and suddenly BOOM, I'm very ill. It's only a week until Jakarta Fashion Week and that means we all need to be as healthy as we could, right? Tonsillitis attack me for a few days, I can't barely talk and my throat feels like burning. And I should take 2 days off from my work which is sucks to stay in bed all day. Have you ever feel that way when you are sick? The only way you could do is to entertained yourself in bed. And here's a few things that you could do when you have to bed rest for a few days.

1. Green Tea, Honey, and Lime.

This is make me feel better! I'm a huge fan of tea so I can drink this for a whole day. It makes my throat a little better and it taste good.

2. Books

When I have to stay in bed, books would be a good company. If you find a good book, time will fly and you don't even realize you spent a whole day in bed just to read a book.

3. TV Series Marathon

This is what I do in the past few days. Thanks God all my favorite tv series are back with their new season just in time I need a movie marathon. So I spent my day to watch American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Scream Queens, and My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. 

4. Soup Of The Day

Soup always makes you feel better when you're sick. My mom made me a veggie soup (because I'm a pescetarian) and that's really delicious! It's good to be at home for a while even though I hate that I'm sick.

5. Eat Banana

I heard if tonsillitis attack us, we could fight it with banana. It help a little bit I guess, because it wasn't too hard to eat when you're sick.

6.  Fall Asleep To Your Favorite Song

When you're sick, all you need is take a rest. D'oh..I can't believe I said this because when I still doing my work in bed when I'm sick, but don't do that if it's not that important (in my case, it's really important). Your favorite song could make you relax so you could take a rest. I've been repeating One Direction's new song, Infinity. God knows how much I addicted to that song!

7. A Fever You Can Sweat Out

When you have fever, you need to sweat a lot.. that's what they said. Stay inside your blanket and drink a lot of hot water. Because hot water could calm your soar throat and the steam will make you feel better.

So yeah.. that's what you could try when you feel bored and need to feel better for Fashion Week! I'm not helping you that much, right? LOL. But hopefully at least you have something to read (read: my blog) and get well soon for every person in this earth who feels sick just like me!

Now That's The Spirit: How to nailed it on September

Purple Outer // Custom Made

Crossbone Tank // H&M

Skirt // Forever 21

Sneakers Wedges // H&M

Salem Bag // Elle

I can't believe it's already September! So many event this month from Runway Show, Jakarta Comic Con and the day that I've been waiting for: Bring Me The Horizon new album, That's The Spirit. September is getting me so exciting. Speaking about That's The Spirit, apart from the album title, I was impress that BMTH new songs could explain what I am feeling in the past few weeks. You know that kind of feeling when you found some songs and the lyrics are so related to you, it's like the song represent your mind. One of their song called "Throne" for the example:

"So you can throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack. Beat me back and blue, every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne. The sticks and the stones that you used to throw have built me an empire".

The worst thing in my life, the people who secretly try to drag you down with them, and all those things who could possibly be the bad things in your life could be your weapon to have a better life and to make your dreams come true. I'm so glad some people throw me to the wolves and I already come back as a leader of the whole pack. I'm grateful that I could make the worst thing in my life as a trigger to change my life, it works! Every pain has a reason, that's your choice for you to turn it around. If you think your life is sucks or you need a better month, give September a chance. Here's a few ways for you to nailed it on September.

1. Leave your comfort zone.
This is the hardest part but it's the only way to change your life. Of course it's hard to leave your comfort zone because your life would be find but it won't help you to climb to a better place. Challenge yourself and you will surprise with everything that you've got after you leave your comfort zone.

2. Think outside the box.
If you want to leave your comfort zone, you have to think outside the box. Make a list of something that you want to achieve and how to get there in so many possible ways.

3. Excercise more.
Excercise every morning could help you to get a spirit for a whole day. I love doing cardio and 8 minute abs every morning. It's pretty fun!

4. Surround yourself with inspiring people.
I read somewhere (I'm sure it's Pinterest but I forgot the source) that the 5 closest person to you could reflect yourself. So if you surrounded with the lazy people, there's a chance for you to be as lazy as they are. Being surround by people who wants to achieve their big dreams could inspire you to work even harder and you could even support each others. But don't worry, if your friends isn't have a huge ambition to reach their dreams, you could put it as an example that you don't wanna be like them, you have to be better. Get inspired with every little things around you.

5. If all fails, hang on and try again.
If you still have a bad day after you tried a lot of things, hang on.. don't stop trying. You're not the one who has a bad day. Try harder to make yourself happy, there's always a way and sometimes you don't realize what it is, you just have to figure it out with a clear mind.

Now that's the spirit and go beat your September!
