Crown Royal Saloon vs Volvo

Mosok sih mobil 1,3 M dikalahin ama Volvo? Hehehe
FYI: RI 37 itu big boss gue :)

The Body Shop Seaweed

I purchase this Seaweed Purifying Facial Cleanser because I have normal-oily skin...and because I love the concept that TBS accept empty bottles!! Here's what I got from the site:

A mild oil-free and soap-free milky cleansing lotion. Effectively removes make-up, impurities and daily grime,without drying the skin. Leaves the skin feeling cleansed, soft and supple with a shine-free, matte finish.

I have nothing to review on the texture. It's just...well...standard. Just like any other milk cleanser. It smells like Viva Milk Cleanser actually :P

Price: IDR 99,000

Also I purchased Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash because I feel that using a milky cleanser only is not enough to clean my skin. It's a mild oil-free and soap-free foaming cleansing gel. Effectively deep cleanses to clear open pores and rinse away excess oils, make-up, impurities and daily grime. Leaves the skin feeling cleansed, purified and refreshed with a shine-free, matte finish according to the site.

I don't like the thin consistency of this one. Too thin. Almost like water, I think they should call it Facial Water (hehehe) and it should come with a pump packaging.

Price: IDR 89,000

So? Are these good products?
I use my regular facial toner to make the comparison (a blue Garnier) . They really make my skin very clean, no dirt left on the facial cotton. But the claim of leaving the skin feeling cleansed, soft and supple with a shine-free, matte finish is not achived :)

Along with those cleanser, I also purchased Deep Pore Cleansing Pads. What the hell is this?

For me, it's just very cute adorable 4 tiny towels :)
For the site, it's a pack of four reusable polyester and cotton cleansing pads as soft as cotton wool but stronger for deep pore cleansing. Used with a facial wash or cleanser, each pad will help draw out impurities and gently remove dead skin cells.

I dampen one towel to remove the Purifying Facial Cleanser. I even put the Facial Wash on it, using it like a cloth wipes.
it would save soap...and water when it's time to clean the cloth!

Price: IDR 49,000

A Reply

I put picture of my Moonbow in this blog, 'complaining' about the small hole, so I think I should post the reply from the seller:

"The small pin pricks you see are actually where we used to attach the price tags for the product before. Because it's on the wing, it should not affect product absorbency or effectiveness at all. We do not do this anymore as we now display things in resealable bags that get reused in our shop instead as it is better for hanging for display"

They also offer me some credit for my next order.

I really appreciate that. Thanks a lot for the response :)

Still Searching for The One....

I'm talking about cloth pad!!!

I posted in Tinytapir FB wall about holes in my Moonbow(s). She asked me to email the picture of the hole and I did it. I also put a link to my review about Moonbow and Freshmoon.

She replied, said she can't open the pic :(
But she did read my review and said I should try Cyclez. Here's her email:

Thanks for the links to your reviews. It's true, the moonbows and fresh moon will become much more absorbent the more you use it. Please note for the moonbow, because the water resistent layer is wool (more breathable and natural), it may still show a stain coming through on a heavy day, but it should not leak onto your panty unless you've really left it a long long time.

I would actually recommend you try the Cyclez pad, i think you will like it better than the natural fabrics as your primary concern is absorbency, no leaking through the wings and very easy to clean. The cyclez pad is much more absorbent than the moonbows and fresh moon, you definitely will not get a leak from it as it uses a PUL backing and it will not flip up when you pull down your underwear (due to the wide wing design, it's not like the moonbow). Also, as it is all man made fiber, it's super easy to clean - just soak it for about 6 hours and the blood washes straight out.

Thanks for the advice! I'll order it next time...
...when I have the budget :P

Extra Carry-on

This is what I bring everyday to office. One towel, 1 plastic bag and some pads (above)
I also bring a lunch box, it's a Tupperware.
Sorry, I forgot to rotate the pic!
Together, they look like this.

While it's true that I do more effort to bring this everyday, actually I could just leave the Tupperware in office. But hey, they're Tupperware, it'd get lost if I leave them!!!

Hole in My Fussybutt Moonbow Pads :(

This is a picture of my Fussybutt Moonbow....the fleece regular and X-large. Look closely and you'll see tiny holes near the snaps.

Also I have the fleece-petite (7.5") with hole near the snap too, but it's not pictured because I left it in my parents' house.

Then I realize something...probably the holes came from the price tag ?

Happy New Year!

Happy new year my friends!!!

I do little flash back back in 2009, here they are:

I started a relationship :)

I did almost nothing in when it came to career last year. But I traveled a lot.

I was blessed with relatively good health...me and my family. Alhamdulillah

I turned 31...and I had to accept the fact that it would be harder to maintain my ideal weight :P

I went to Hong Kong, sponsored by my aunt :)

My father sold some of his cars, beloved Silver 960 was included....and he bought S90 Executive.

I grew awareness on 3R last year. I started bringing shopping bags; using towels instead of toilet paper, bringing lunch box to office and the most expensive one is using cloth pad.
