Living Life Lively: Oktober 2014

Hollaaa Bloggy!
Here I am again! yay!
Haha I think I am too soon to coming back again here. I know you dont miss me so much yet. But I'm really missed you already :*
But actually I just doing nothing here...oopsiee :p

BBOOO!

I dont know what to tell anyting here but I think I have one because I wake up and I feel so blessed to have this beautiful thing in my life.
Yes you knew it already, my hair! lol
I love my hair so much. Like nothing is more beautiful in my than my hair. I keep her like a baby. Yes she is my pretty baby :3

She is so lovely, isn't she :3

Always let her down to let her free

Basically I have natural straight hair. Like no curl, no bouncy hair, and no volume. Just straight!
Sometimes I try to get curly hair by night time curling without heat. I use head band, put on my head like bohemian, and twist little by little to the headband. I let it set overnight, I sleep and I take it off when I wake up. Voila! I have curly and bouncy hair!

Pillow face and lovely hair lol

Curly hair for hang out!

But, another to make my hair curly. I also love to let my hair straight

Effortless straight hair

Going to work. Pale huh?

Another than that, I also have some routine for my hair to keep healthy, shiny, and look beautiful. Maybe for some readers those would be tips and tricks for them (if I had readers haha).

1. I dont wash my hair everyday.
I dont really know about the scientific explanation. But if you wash your hair with shampoo, it will make your hair dry. Because hair also produce oil to make your hair looks shiny and get reduce when you wash your hair. So if you wash your hair everyday, you dont give time to your hair to produce oil and you get dry hair.

2. Use conditioner first then the shampoo.
Hahaha maybe you think this is weird. Every conditioner used for after shampooing. But not for me for over few months before until now. I dont know it will work for people out there. But to me it has much better resyult when I do that as my routine hair-wash. First I wet my hair with the water, then put my conditioner from almost my scalp until my end of hair. Not for you, dont touch your scalp with conditioner. Because it will make your scalp dry afterwards and cause dandruff.
Wait until 30-60 seconds and rinse with water. Then you can wash you hair with shampoo as usual. Dont have to put conditioner again afterwards ;)

3. Dont dry your hair when your hair is completely dry.
First, you will waste of your time. You will break your hair to give heat too much onto your hair. I almost never dry my my hair with the hairdryer. I cover my hair with my old clean shirt instead of the towel. Because it absorbs water from hair faster than regular towel. Well, it depends on the material of the shirt. You know which the material absorbs water fast. And when it is damp, not too wet and not dry. I let it down without heat. Or if I want to go somewhere and dont want to go with damp hair, I use low heat hairdryer.

4. Dont tie your hair too tight.
Besides it makes you headache, your hair will easy to get break. You can just give a little bit loose high pony tail for everyday hairdone. Or just pin your hair with bobby pins to keep your bang away your face.

5. I add olive oil and coconut oil to my regular conditioner.
You already know what are the benefits of those both oils, didnt you? So why not you add those oils to your conditioner? Give 3 spoons each oil to the conditioner bottle and shake it off. It gives me shinier, smoother, and healthier hair.

6. Use powder as my dry shampoo.
I dont know you will like this my idea, guys. But it helps me sometimes I'm in travel and I dont have time to wash my hair. My hair basically get flaky, oily, and sticky in hot weather in 2 days without shampooing. So when I I'm in a rush or dont have time to wash my hair, I will just dabbing my scalp with powder, give it little scratch with top of my fingers to give it nice distribution. It will absorb the oil of my hair and looks much better!

7. Natural hairmasks!
So this is my favorite part! Give my hair natural treatment to prevent stress hair. My hair layer is very smooth so it easy to get break. So I give it some nutritious ingredient for my natural hairmask.

Tea Hairmask. Soak a back tea in hot water, let it for overnight. Wet your hair with the tea water, give your hair little massage, and cover your hair with hair cap/old clean shirt or towel that you dont mind to get stained. Let it for about 2-3 hour or any long you want to. Rinse it with water and continue with your regular washing hair routine. It will make your hair grow faster, give volume for you hair, easy to maintain, and to thicken your hair.
Oils Hairmask. Use olive oil or coconut oil. Give distribution on to your hair from your scalp to the ends of your hair. Let it for few hours and wash your hair. Make sure you not leave the oil on your hair because will make your hair too oily afterwards. The oil mask will give you nice smooth and shiny hair.
Yoghourt Hairmask. Add yoghourt, coconut/olive oil, honey, and mix them well in a bowl. Put and give a nice distribution onto your hair. Give a little massage. Let it for few hours as many hours as you want. The longer will be better because the ingredients will get absorbed in to your hair roots. This mask will gives you smooth hair, prevent any breakach and split-ends of ends of your hair, also gives your hair strengths. Oil will give you shiny hair.

So Bloggy, I love my hair so uch and I keep it like a baby. Just, I have little bit problem. I have terrible hair-fall. I know for some reason it is normal. But still freaking me out! huhu
But now I got hair tonic for my hair. It give me better strength for my hair so mot rally bad hair-fall.
I hope you like my post for today Bloggy...or people who read!
Dadaaah~

Bonjour!
Lol new language huh?
Just kidding! Yes I do learn new language now. But hold on, dont ask how hard it is. That is pain in the ass!
Fortunately, I got so nice teacher. Oh...wait. I dont want to tell you that one this moment.
*whispering* "I want to keep it as a secret. He is so charming. I dont want everybody knows I have a charming teacher".
I want to tell you about another story. New atmosphere, new experience, and much more laughter!
So let me start it.

Do you know Couchsurfing.com? (CS)
Oh, come on Bloggy! Dont be 'kudet' (kurang update - updateless)!
That is a website to connect the travelers/expatriates in a country to the locals. So they could meet, hang out, or even traveling together. It will be way more fun to traveling with the local because they know their place. And yaaa so many benefits from the website for travelers all over the world. You know what I'm trying to say, dont you.

So now, why the hell you are talking about travelers and traveling? Do you do travel? Really? You are broke as fuck!

Dem yu Bloggy!
I know I couldn't afford to travel...yet. I still have many things to do and fulfill the bills. I have work, study, hang out time with friends, and bla bla bla I'd rather to sleep than hiking to the top of mountain. Well, if I have partner (-not in crime), I would love to. Just not the right time for this moment. Okay? Understand?

Now let me to continue my story.

I knew about the website was from one of my group chat friends. She posted a photo that she was guiding 2 Germans around the city. And everybody wondering where they know her to guiding them. She said from CS and gave more the details.

I was interested to be like her. Guiding 'bules' (please, dont think that I am bule hunter-_-) to the city, sharing cultures, experiences, and look cool around Indonesian lol. It is kind of public secret that Indonesians are little bit 'racist' because they have higher expectation to the Caucasians. They appreciates more than to the Indonesians themselves. Thats why whenever I walk with bule they will smile and greet me very well than I just walk alone (truth!).

So I make an account on the site and start looking around what everything the site has, how to use it, and what everything we can do from the website. Still very tricky for me because I can see the peoples' profile and they got so many 'references' that opinion from the people she/he has hang-out together or was hosted (means like any connected friends) about him/her.

Then I found there also has events nearby my location. And my friend who told me about the site invites me to join. It was my pleasure to join.

So we met at the place where the gathering been held. That was many people who join. From many Indonesians, one Singaporean (I think), 2 Indians, and 4 Frenches.

Speaking English was a must because there was a multicultural event. Thats why I felt challenged to speak very well because I must train my English skill for sure. And fyuh~ everyone was understand everything I have said haha

So we did introduction for each comer to introduce themselves to everyone...fortunately my coice wasn't so micey lol
