Let's talk about Health & Beauty

Package ordered from tkoskin.com

2011-11-14T00:28:00.001+07:00

Hello, it's been awhile since my last post. I miss blogging so much!
Work has been making me sooo busy, my Winalite business has been too! Oh well, I enjoy making money, LOL.

This post is about my order from TkoSkin (http://www.tkoskin.com/). I've been subscribing to the mailing list for awhile. Had a thought of back and forth to buy the products. I know Tonya makes amazing unique products there.
I decided to buy when she had limited number of coconut complexion polish on July 25, 2011.
Here's my order:
- Bombshell Pack w/Free Bonuses ($99.99)
- Coconut Complexion Polish ($32.95)
Shipping was free at that time. I sent them to my husband's address. So when he came here for our wedding, he brought them with him.

What are they in Bombshell Pack?

- 10 Oz of Body butter beautiful (BBB) + Vit E
- 12 Oz of Shea Shoufle + Vit E
- 20 ml Vit E
- Large Egyptian loofah to scrub away blemishes and stretch marks - Two bars of the best quality Raw African Black Soap (oooh, I have been dying to try this kind of soap!)
- Free Soap Dish & Travel BBB

I also received sample jar of Coconut Complexion Polish.... I've tried this in small jar.
"The Complexion Polish is an organic scrub which polishes your complexion... after you use it once, you fall in LOVE with yourself all over again. The clarifying cane complex uses enzymes within the sugar to reveal a fresh new face which is tight and full of life" (from the website)

I've been using BBB for 1 month now. It's creamy texture, but absorb easily to my skin and doesn't stain my cloth. My skin feel smooth after application after shower.
I've taken the pictures of products but haven't downloaded them to my laptop, so pictures coming soon!

If you remember, I bought African beauty products long time ago from Afro*scent*ric.
I've just checked her Etsy page, seems she is not there anymore :(

Wedding Day

2011-09-26T01:32:00.018+07:00

Here I am.... The wedding, on September 17, 2011.
It took more than three hours to finish everything. One and half hour for make up and the rest for doing the head cover with many many many pins.... From 2 PM to 5.30 PM
Mrs. Dewi, my bridal make up artist, was ill so Ms. Vera, her daughter did the make up. She also did the decoration of my wedding throne.
Vera put heavier coverage but I still love it. Many people said I looked different, glowing....
I was soooo stressful when saw my uncle's text. He said he'd be late to pick up Hakim from airport. I couldn't think anymore. I just prayed and prayed. I know Hakim will manage to contact us.
Voila! Our first meeting, he was at my door, smiling. We chat for awhile then he got ready with his suite.

Bridal make up test

2011-09-04T01:06:00.015+07:00

As I'm moving toward to my wedding date, I decided to get bridal make up test with the make up artist. She's the mother of my friend's. Her name is Mrs. Dewi.
When I was at her place, we discussed about the color of the my wedding dress, how I'd like to have my head cover, and many more. I also discussed about the decoration of wedding "throne", which will be done by my friend's older sister. Yes, the family has a business related to wedding :)
So Mrs. Dewi prep my face by cleaning, toning, and apply ice cubes to my face.
She picked up neutral colors, which what I have in mind.
Here's the result (taken after few hours, when I got home, I forgot to bring my camera with me):

When I flew back to Jakarta and transited in Changi, I bought Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Refining Toner. I bought this at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, alas.... I cannot bring it through Jakarta, I was allowed to bring this only until Singapore! So I canceled this in Shanghai and bought at Changi Singapore.

The price is not much different from the one in Shanghai, around USD30

What it says in the website (http://www.kiehls.com/Rare-Earth-Pore-Refining-Tonic/793,default,pd.html):
This dual-phase pore minimizing toner is formulated with Amazonian White Clay to help remove excess dirt and toxins from the skin while helping to control surface oil and refine the look of pores throughout the day. Skin will appear softer, smoother and more matte with healthy radiance.

Benefit of Anion, negative ions

2011-07-11T21:54:00.002+07:00

Last week, I had a chance to listen to a testimonial of a lady, who has a 17 year-old boy, who's been sick for four months. They come from Maos, Cilacap.
A week before, I heard about his case for the first time, from a friend of mine who met this lady's husband.
So, the boy had a disease called Pemphigus Vulgaris (owkaaay.... the name scared me)... It happened to one in a 100,000 people!

(Check out what Pemphigus Vulgaris is here and here)

It started from a sprue on his mouth inner wall, then spread to the whole area. All over his body, from head to toe covered by absces... He lost his weight, couldn't move.

My friend suggested the father to put one Anion chip on his forehead to test out. After one night, the result was that the absces skin below the area of the Anion chip has dried and recovered.

My friend was inspired by Baby Rupert from Philippines, who's had skin disease too.Baby Rupert had Skin Scalded Syndrome (Scalded skin syndrome is a skin infection in which the skin becomes damaged and sheds, http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001352.htm)

I searched whether there's information in Youtube about that baby.... And yes! I found several clips.

Here you are..... Amazing.....

Organic Vanilla Beans benefit for beauty

2011-06-14T23:49:00.001+07:00

One of my online shops provides Organic Vanilla Beans.
My partner wrote this interesting articles in Bahasa, and I decided to translate it and post it here.

Get beautiful by using Vanilla? Is it possible? The answer is why not! Just imagine if perfume products we often use is tasteless, odorless or just plain, certainly would be very boring, isn't it? Vanilla is one of the many types of herbs that can be used as fragnance natural materials for beauty products. It's found that around 300 natural ingredients contained in the vanilla bean can provide many benefits to women's beauty treatments, ranging from skin care types (natural skin care), hair care (natural hair care) and oral care (natural oral care).

Trend of natural herbs for beauty products application started in France and Germany. The awareness of the dangers of synthetic fragnance which has been the dominant use in beauty products arose. An interesting data obtained from a consumer research organization based in Germany the Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (GfK) in 2009, the market potential for sales of beauty products made from natural herbs with no artificial or synthetic chemicals in the German Panzers were to grow significantly by 7% each year , recorded in 2009 when the associated value of sales of beauty products made from natural herbs in this country which is around 717 million Euros.
Likewise, a study conducted by an international research institute that is Kline Group, predicted up to year 2014 when there will be a significant market growth of demand for beauty products made from natural herbs good for the Asian market (13%), Europe (9%) and USA (8%). So what exactly is to be excellence in beauty products that use these raw natural herbs? As written by De Anna Nelson in his article 5 Different Natural Cosmetic Trend:
a. Going Organic, Environmentally Friendly & Equipment Caring for Nature.
b. Natural Colors, No Artificial Dyes presence in the creation of a Creative Product
c. Natural Ingredients, Natural Herbs Materials that do not cause side effects
d. Eliminating toxins, Reduces Risk of Chemicals as Toxic Body
e. Reduce allergens, Reduce Allergies normally generated Effects Cosmetic Products

Ever heard of Vanilla Bean Facial Scrub? Vanilla Bean Lip Scrub? Or Vanilla Brown Sugar Body Scrub? Massage Oil with Vanilla Beans? Homemade Vanilla Bean Bath Syrup? The use of vanilla bean as a raw material for natural beauty treatments in practice is already common for people in Europe where even become a kind of home-based or Homemade recipe Recipes, including has become a business opportunity as well as commercial products traded with attractive packaging. Just be cautious in buying beauty products made from raw natural vanilla on the market, the label is not yet pure vanilla can be a guarantee that such products using 100% natural vanilla bean, because the manufacturer could have used a synthetic vanilla in order to make profits.

A Natural Cosmetics Conference event held in the city of Nuremberg Germany about 2 years ago emphasized the importance of supervision and standardization for all products made from raw natural beauty on the market so that the beauty products are made from synthetic materials can not be expressed naturally. None other than this considering its market potential and opportunities that will continue to grow about 1 billion U.S. dollars per year. The standardization is also expected to create a better distribution channels and orderly for beauty products made from natural herbs that have the potential to increase its sales from year to year.

To honor a heroine who fought for women equality, R.A. Kartini, we observe Kartini Day every April 21.

My niece chose to wear Balinese outfit and my sister asked me to do her make up.
Oh la la, what do I know about Balinese make up??? I tried to recall and made it as similar as possible.
I used mineral make up foundation and powder on her from Aromaleigh.
Even though I have applied moisturizer on her face, somehow it wasn't blending to her skin.

How Negative Ions Are Effective In Treating Cancer

How Negative Ions Are Effective In Treating Cancer

Author:

Julie Health
In 1950, Dr. Haskell applied negative ions to patients of hypertension. Amazingly, negative ions were proven to have a significant effect in lowering one\'s blood pressure, while no beneficial effects were observed with positive ions. Negative Ion are also effective against influenza, asthma and especially bronchial diseases.
Another study done by the University of Frankfurt involved a 'Cancer Team' led by Dr. Kusturica that further studied the physical effects of negative ions on cancer cells.Different types of cancer cells were transfused into the bodies of rats. In order to have a base of comparison, one groups of rats were put into a negative environment each day while the other group remained untouched.
As a result, the rats in the negative ion environment lived, on average for 59 days, while the rats that were untouched lived no longer than 34 days.The rats from the experimental team live 25 days longer; some even lived as long as 80 days! The experiment\'s results confirm the effectiveness of negative ions in treating cancer.
Another research team conduct a similar experiment. Cancer cells were transfused into small mice. The research team then compared the mice in a negative ion environment to ones the did not have negatives ions in order to examine the proliferation of the cancer cells.
Consequently, the cancer cells inside the bodies of those mice that were not in a negative ion environment increased 58 mg per day, while the cancer cells inside the bodies of those with negative ions increased less than 27 mg. It was even more amazing to find out that in about 1 third of these rats, the cancer cells decreased significantly and eventually disappeared completely!

Organizing make up stuffs

2011-01-17T19:29:00.020+07:00

When I realized I have more and more make up stuffs, and I just piled them up in the corner of my room, I had to do something, otherwise I will spend time just to find what I look for when I'm doing my make up.
I bought one container from Lock N Lock a couple of months ago. Yesterday I went to Giant hypermart, tried to find the same container, but it wasn't sold there. But I found this pink organizer.
When I got home, I re-organized everything.
Here's how it looks like now:

My vanity

Right shelf: foundations and face powders

Left shelf: miscellaneous

Samples of eye pigments

My brooches

The pink organizer

Lock N lock container for lip products

1st shelf: eye products

No more cramps during period: experience after using Anion Love Moon Pads

2010-12-25T17:34:00.029+07:00

Really, I'm amazed!
Today is my first day of my period and I didn't feel the weak feeling, the mood swing, or the cramps around my belly area, as I always felt on the first day of period.
This is my second period after I used Anion Love Moon sanitary napkin.
I and my sister went out of the house since morning to visit her sister-in-law.
We went to swimming pool near by her house, we did home meeting, we stayed there til evening.
When I drove back to home, I realized that I didn't feel anything I felt as usual. So, this is a good condition to experience.
The first time I used Anion Love Moon pantyliner, I experienced a detox process. I was late to have my period, I discharged a lot of fluid for about a week, and I felt itch for three days down there. My friend said I was undergoing detox process, so what I needed to do was to change the pantyliner every four hours.
I feel clean now, my discharge has stopped.
My period also occur faster, from seven days to five days.

Even I don't have any abnormality (such as myoma, cysts, or cancer), no cramps during period means an improvement. Of course, for ladies with that health condition, Anion brings more benefit and helps their lives.

Anion helps to regularize body system, balancing the hormones. So if you are having irregular menstruation, Anion can improve that.
A friend of mine had myoma, she had Anion treatment for awhile and the myoma got treated. Her obgyn doctor confirmed that she's clean and healthy now.

Cousin's wedding reception, look using Meow's Rain Forrest Collection

2010-12-10T18:43:00.023+07:00

I was in Surabaya for three days to attend my cousin's wedding.
The wedding ceremony was on December 6, 2010. We agreed to wear beige color for our outfit.
I picked a broken white dress with yellowish hijab.
Since the outfit color was very soft, I opted bold color for my eyes: Red and golden combo from Meow's Rain Forrest Collection and one color from Simple Pleasure Collection.

All face make up was using Meow's foundation, face primer, finishing powder, and blush.
Lips using Revlon lipstick.

Here's the eye and overall look:

This is my niece, Syahira. I brought her with as one of her training to travel away
from her mom. She's five years old.

With bride and groom (my cousin)

The outfit was from Banjar, Kalimantan, where the bride is originally from.
I didn't attend the reception on Dec 7 evening, because I needed to come back early due to office work.

My closing Aromaleigh order arrived

2010-12-03T17:34:00.016+07:00

Knowing that Kristen allowed International order, I managed to buy some stuffs!
For this order, I used office address because at that time no one at home for sometime. I waited, and waited for the package to come. I checked USPS website to check the delivery status. But the status only stated untill the day of package sent out of USA.
Alas! The South Jakarta Post Office sent me a notification, I needed to pay some duty tax for that package (IDR 98,000, about USD 10)
So odd, I don't understand our custom. A couple of weeks before this, I received two packages from USA of my online orders but they sent to my office and I only paid IDR 7,000 (USD 0.80) each. That's their repackage charge.
Anyway, I had to find time to go to this particular post office in between my working hour :(
The place was far, but at the end, it was worth it.
I received many free items from Aromaleigh! I didn't expect that.

Enjoy the beauties:

Original order

Blush on and finishing veil

Free lip products

Free samples: eye colors, blush on, veil powder

When I was blog walking and read a post from a beauty blogger who I follow (Gosh I forgot her name, I'll get back to you on this soon!) about this brand, I was intrigued.
I went to the Etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/ProvidenceAndGrace.
Found pretty lip colors and eye shadows.
I read the profile and it has its own website http://www.providenceandgrace.com/. There was sale on the website. I sent message to Jen through Etsy and asked why there was price difference, lower price on her website.
She said that the cost and fees for her website are less than fees for Etsy, so she can afford to offer her products at a better price there. She also has a better selection of items on the website.
So go there now, hehehe

I purchased below items:
