Guest Speaker at Friends of Merry Riana: Komunitas MRCA by Merry Riana

Hello everyone! I was so honored to be the first guest speaker in Merry Riana Radio Talk show with Komunitas MRCA in Heartline FM Radio. I was invited by a friend of mine, Rindang, to be the guest speaker to talk about business and how can i be grateful in everything. The talkshow was on Monday, 27th July 2015, started on 17.00 PM, so i ran out from campus right away after finished the class to fit in the schedule! Hahaha.. It's better late than never, so i decided to still write this entry! ;)

The script was prepared by the radio crew, but in fact, we didn't really stick to the script, we enjoyed our time during the talkshow and the discussion flow nicely!We also got lovely feedback question from dear listener from Heartline FM Radio.

With Mr. Charles, our host that day. He is very friendly and have a nice way of talking, i surely adore radio host profession! They can play with attractive words and help us to communicate better. In this talk show, i shared my business experience with my double profession as a college student; how i maintain my business without failing my study. Well, i don;t say it's easy! It's very challenging, which i like challenges. I gave tips that the key is about priority. You just need to manage your time and your top priorities. I put my study first, the second is family and the third is business. Next, i can go for hobbies, leisure, etc.

In this talk show, i stated that in every aspects and things we do, we must be GRATEFUL. Why? I confessed there that i am nothing without God, that He is the one who makes me ABLE to do such things. I learned not to complain when the situation is hard, therefore in every situation we have to be grateful because every day is a good day. god doesn't want us to be or in the bad day, He just tested us.

Grateful is really in the business. When your sales are high, you feel grateful. When the sales are reaaalllyyyyy low, you should also be grateful. Grateful isn't about a feeling when you feel loved/ succeed/ happy, but it is how you appreciate all efforts you made along the journey with its ups and downs and you can still smile and happily thank God. Without being grateful, you won't be able to see things wonderful, you will ended up being so unsatisfied.

The talk show began...............

With our co- host of the day, Mbak Frenty!

Did i mention 'we'? YES! I was not alone during the show, there were Natashia and Melisa from the Komunitas MRCA (Merry Riana Campus Ambassador) who explained what is MRCA and gave the testimony about joining this program. By the way, Komunitas MRCA is a young community formed by Asia's woman entrepreneur and motivator, Ms Merry Riana and her husband Mr. Alva. They created this community to choose 60 best college student in Indonesia to be thought and intensively trained by them without no charge at all. Ms Merry and Mr Alva do hope that these 60 young people to do activities that aims to make positive impact to 1 million people all over Indonesia.

Clearly we know that Ms Merry Riana and Mr Alva put much effort for our beloved country. They are an example we young people should follow: that being a success person is not about rich or all about money, but how you appreciate life and become blessings for others, at least we can make IMPACT to others. For now on, through this post i also encourage whoever reads this entry, yes YOU, let's make changes for our country start by ourself.

We can begin in simplest way we can. We started to join competitions, started to learn how to be in organization. Make social programs, charity campaign. Simply you also can start a good habit such as reading books and interact with the experts/ guru to study more about your passion. Try your very best to make your God proud, yourself, your family and your nation. Let's be a blessing!

Thank you Komunitas MRCA for the invitation as your guest speaker, i enjoyed the time very much! I do hope the listeners feel happy and inspired with my little experience in business. I believe there are a lot of entrepreneurs out there whose much more expert than me, all of you also must learn from them too! Absorb their strategy and ways to achieve success. I really do hope and will try my best to be a great entrepreneur; i'm just a newbie, i need to learn so much things! 

Cheers! Let's make Indonesia better and better!

Healthy & Yummy: 3 Fruits in a Juice

Hi everyone! Last post, i talked about some health issues. As my promise to myself i want to keep myself healthy by eating right, i am commited to start it more routine! Just started with a very simple step: making a healthy juice for me and family. I do hope you guys doing well! Hope you all stays fit and healthy, and of course happy! In this post, i wanna share my usual juice recipe which i like very much.


First, you gonna need:
- Knife
- A Juicer
- Sugar (2 table teaspoon)
- Mineral water (1,5 normal-sized drinking glass)

And the fruits are...

1. Berries! Look at that bright red color. Natural at its best.
I usually put my berries in the freezer, it is better to keep them in a freezer so they can stay longer and you can enjoy drinking it cold.

2. Papaya

3. Stawberries

Some of you may not like the taste of the papaya, because for some people, papayas are a bit stinks? I love papaya, i don't have any problem at all eating it. Oh well, in order to be healthy, you don't always eat and swallow your favorite food right? I mean, sometimes you have to swallow the one you don't like either! That's why i'm sharing my recipe of fruit mixing, so the papaya wouldn't taste awful for you non- papaya lover! Hope you can try this ;)

Steps:
1. Cut the papaya in a cube size
2. Wash the berries and strawberries with clean water. Make sure to wash them clean, we don't know if there is some amount of pesticide on it.. Just be aware!
3. Put the fruits together in a juicer, add the water
4. You can add small amount of sugar if you like, but don't be too much! Remember, to much sugar leads you to diabetes and fat.
5. Start to blend your juice until its done and looking smooth.
6. Serve

If you'd love to, you can try to add some condensed milk, without sugar. The taste would be nice, it adds some sweet flavor. Anyway, sugar is also important for our body. We need energy! So, no need to be afraid of consuming sugar if you eat healthy, sleep well and do exercises!

It's so easy right? You don't really need much effort by making this. Drinking juice is one of the simplest thing to do. Yet, it is so yummy and healthy atthe same time. When you drink juice, you can feel like you are refreshed!

Do you know that berries are good for skin and digestive system? Berries contain high minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It is also an antioxidant for our body. Oh! You can also whiten up your teeth by using strawberries! Simply cut the strawberry into 2 pieces, rub it over your teeth back and forth after you finished brushing your teeth. Do it for 1-2 weeks and see the result! You can also take picture before- after so you can compare. This works on me! Welcome, bright smile!

Papaya is also a miracle. It is good for digestive system, ashma prevention and good for diet. Papaya contains calium and vitamin to prevent the heart- sickness and maximize our imune system.It is rich with minerals, papaya is very awesome for our skin. No wonder, we can get a flawless looking skin by consuming fruits and veggies routine.

Enjoy! Hurry, you can start eating healthy NOW! ;) Please tell me your exciting story when it comes to eat healthy, or simply drop comments below :) See you on the next posts!

In the Forrest: Leopard Pullover

Last week, I went out with my blogger friend Sonya from sonya-thaniya.blogspot.com ;) We had our little chit chat and of course, photo time! :p We talked a lot about local brand and fashion industry. It was so fun, let's do it again sometimes!

- Leopard pullover: H&M -

- Unbranded corduroy skirt -

- Black ankle boots: H&M -
- Watch: 

So happy to wear this outfit combo! It's so comfortable and very easy to wear. Who has pull over? Almost everybody owns it! Pullover gives you warmth, it has so many cute designs made from textured/ patterned fabric as well. From girly to boyish, from comfy to dazzled- sequinned, you choose! Mine here is from H&M. LOVE!

You can also view my daily outfit and activites on my Instagram: @thelmakisela :)

I didn't plan to match this leopard pullover with the 'forrest- like' beckground, though. It was really a coincidence, haha. We can associate leopard living in the jungle, right? So that's the main reason i created this blogpost title 'In the Forrest' ;p And..... Look at my skirt! Definetely an earth tone color that match with the theme, LOL. It looks like the branches of the trees in the forrest though.

Sonya and I found this spot and we're so happy to see the result. All photos here were taken by Sonya with her camera. Thank's to you! <3

Since i have a skinny body (People always comment "You are so skinny, eat more!"), i wanna look 'fatter' in this outfit! Hahaha. I just love slouchy and grungy style, with oversized dress/ tees and still can look effortlessly stylish. I love the idea of the loose outfit itself; it is like a statement that you are "easy going" and "effortless" for being cool. No, this outfit don't really make me look fat, it just adds little volume on my body.

I don't have any food disorder, i just can't get fat. Every time i gained a little bit kgs, it will be gone quickly too! I eat 5 times a day (gosh), i never count my calories intake (i eat pizza, the dessert will be an ice cream, and at the night i still can eat martabak), i have never been into a diet. I am also not a sport/ gym enthusiast. i even don't do sport promptly, only once in a week i dance hiphop. I think this is my core family gene; my mom, dad, brother and sister also can't get fat! Consider me lucky to have that genes!

Well, my mom provides healthy food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think i eat healthy, drink a lot of water, i have positive minds, i am happy. The problem is, i never consider my food intake. I mean, the sugar/ junk food intake (since i never consider about i will gain kilos). These warn me. How about cholesterol? I might have it! How about HDL, LDL and so on? I possibly have it too!

So realized, even though i can't get fat, i must maintain my health from now by eating right. junk food, desserts, fried- food are absolutely okay, BUT i have to eat them only a little. Well, you gus should too! Health is the priority.

Lately, i love wearing big earrings. Well, i love it because they are all cute and have a lot of unique designs. I got mine ethnic this time, a boho look with a circle shape and beads on it. FYI, i got this earrings for a long time ago only for IDR 10K! ;)

One great styling tip i always remember: be confident! No one else is like you. What ever your flaws are, you just need to focus on your positive side so you can shine bright! with confidence, you surely will be stand out in fashion or anything else ;)

What do you think about this outfit? Do not hesitate to leave comments below! <3

Brave Red

Hi everyone! :) AmyGo just launched many new arrivals! You can direct check on Instagram: @amygostore to find more! This time, we realized that hot weather is beating us down! So i decided to produce some light- weight, airy and breezy shirts! They come with many colors to suit your days, day and night. The fitting is also nice and what i really love from this item is  its material, made from fine Paris cotton. Many colors available for you to choose.

I wore this ruby shirt in bright red when i was dancing. This time, i did not wanna wear something heavy/ complicated costume for a dance. The theme for today is red with a touch of black/ gray. I just put on a black tank top worn underneath and paired it with tiny stripe cropped trouser. My feet were to 'tired' to wear some boots or high- top sneakers, so instead of wearing those, i wore this black and white slip on! My slip on shoes is from The things Corner (Instagram: @thethingscorner)

Recently, i just got a very severe blotch, it was VERY painful- i even couldn't stand up or walk. It's holiday, but just ended up laying on my bed for the whole weeks :') the good news is, now that blotch has gone, leaving a very ugly mark on my skin. I am on my treatment to clean it away! Wish me luck!

Hat was borrowed from my friend Vania. I intended to borrow her hat and wear it on stage, but plan was changed since this hat won't really stay on my head. I was avoiding some risks my performance out there would be failed because of the fallen hat, hahaha! Well, just put this hat for a photo :p

I love to wear my shirts a bit loose and also make the sleeves tied up. Oh! I usually wear my shirts with some tank inside. I don't know.. this way is influenced by my mom's style. She likes to wear shirts with a tank underneath. she said by wearing it that way, you do layering and make the plain shirt not too formal! Awesome idea, Mom.

Red is identic with brave. Talk about bravery, i admit that sometimes i am not a brave person. I was also not a brave woman. I'm late for taking decisions, so those good chances just flew away. I even can't handle myself for being scared to insects (i hate it the most)  But... I learned! Now, i am more a self- motivated person. If i started to think that i'm not brave, i'd think of the oppsoite that: I am brave! The one who can change yourself is YOU, not other people. Self- motivation is powerful. You just use your own mind to control yourself. Remember, you can control yourself. You can control yourself to be success, or to be a loser, you are the one who decides!

By doing seld- motivation, you will understand yourself more and you can also handle yourself too. Self- motivation guides you to see things more clear and encourage you to be a better person. Example:

Imagine you are in school, studying math subject you really don't like. how to self- motivate yourself?

First, you MUST throw away your negativity about math. Throw that "uh this math thingy is very hard" or "would i even use it on my real life?" Trust me, just throw first!

Second, begin to think you can. Simple, you just think that you can. "I am able to finish this because i have brain. brain can solve things, so do math!"

Third, motivate yourself! "Come on, if others can do this math, you should be able too! What are the reasons that you can't?? Solve them!"

Fourth,try and do your best. never stop, just try to do it well and maximal. Don't chase only for the result (read: score), but chase the learning process!

 

Hope you guys can do your best!

You can leave a comment and say hi to me! ^^

Hot Pink Lipstick!

I know! So lack of posts these days.. I feel guilty over myself because i left this blog for too long! I miss blogging :') Been sooooooooo busy like crazy with my uni life, yet i still have to manage my online fashion brand! I love to work (i think- a bit workaholic) and i love keeping myself busy. If i ended up at home for just lazying around on bed, i can feel GUILTY, like "oh my, why am i here doing nothing? I'm young, i should make an impact or do something worth and useful!). Yep, call me workaholic then :p

I LOVE any kind of lip products! Either it's a lip balm, lipstick, lip tint, lip scrub, you name it! This time, i got my new cute NYX butter lipstick in hot pink from Beauty Store Indo (Instagram: @beautystore_indo). They sell varieties of cosmetics in affordable price! They can get you USA cosmetics such as LA Girl, Covergirl, Cetaphil, etc. They also sell Sephora, Anastasia Beverly Hills and more!

I am going to post my daily make up here. girls and make up can't be separated- though some girls/ woman don't really like using make up, but once they put them on, i am very sure make up transforms a lot! Make up should enhance your natural beauty, not being a fake one.

Wearing bright color lipstick will make my skin stand out. I look pale if i don't wear any (is it just my feeling or the fact?) but i feel more confident with some color on my lip! That's why, i NEVER leave my home without a coloured lipstick/ lip tint/ lip balm (and off course, my eyeliner and eyebrow pencil hahaha)

Before

Natural looking lashes from (Instagram: @beautelash)

When it comes to make up, i love simple make up. my every day look is using sunblock, loose powder (sometimes) eyebrow pencil, eyeliner (gel/ liquid), and lip tint. When there is special occasion, i add peach blush, natural looking falsies and if i am in the mood, i'll use my BB cream. Since i have a sensitive skin (acne and blackheads are like my best friend, even though i don't wanna be friends with them -.-), i avoid using too much skin cosmetics such as BB cream, foundation, powder, blush, etc. so sad, because actually i really love to use BB cream and blush. They make your skin glows, hiding the tired face!

Falsies are my fave! I love the natural- thin looking one. Just add mascara, and eyes opened wider! ;)

After 

Tadaaa, loving the result! The texture is just lovely! you will not feel like you're wearing heavy lipstick on your lip. The color also pops, instantly brighten up my whole face. I love this kind of pink color, this gives you some feminine look, but still colorful. You can either wear this color for day and also night!

If you'd love to, you can also lining up your oter lip with a pencil lipliner, for more defined looking and fuller lips! I am sure for some woman, lips are the most valuable assets in body, besides hair and skin, right? ;) Don't forget, best make up you can wear is SMILE! Smile more, for the world is beautiful and full of blessings!

Cheers! Till' we meet on the next post!

Success Young Generation

Hope everything is doing well! I clearly realized that as young generaion, leave your sadness! Should be happy in every way because the grace and blessings we accept is more than enough. i frequently think that many of relatives of mine don't know what they are doing. They also go very slow to reach their dreams, even they dn't even know what to achieve. In fact, there are soooooo many hobbies or things we can do as young people. Find your passion. No matter how tired you are, as long as you do it with passion, you will never feel tired at all. Or simply you can analyze and look inside you: what are the things i completely fall in love with? What things i do until i forget the time runs so fast? Identify and find your passion! :)

So this passion- searching should be driven with the right reasons You can have many reasons. For example, you wan't to be a success person to make your parents proud. You wan't to be success to prove yourself that you are able. You wan't to be success to make your life meaningful, to be a blessing for others. You wan't to be success because you think you must be a success person.

No matter what your reasons are, be still and consistent! Success won't come if you just seat calmly there in your cozy bedroom and doing nothing. Success even won't come if you can't  manage yourself and make disciplines. Success won't also come if you are still doing wrong on your daily activities. God knows when you are able. God sees, whether have you worked hard enough or not? If He thinks you are not crazy enough to work hard as you really wanted the dreams to come true, the dreams won't come true.

Why i post so many flowers in this blogpost? Simply i love flowers :p For me, flowers are beautiful, they grow beautifully and spread good vibes. They seek minerals deep in the soil to make them stay strong and grow. That is exactly what we should do! We need to seek, we need to find the passion. we need to seek good minerals that is good for us. In this case those would be good friends thatsupoort you, find community that you can grow, read good books and so on. When you seek and find the great minerals, you will grow and be beautiful (also read: excellent). Your input= your output. You can never expect to have a positive life when you don't even fill youself with positive vibes.

Lovely photos took by boyfriend, it's great right? :) I do suggest to visit his blog (www.stvnar.tumblr.com) He has great taste on photography and composition. His photos are interesting in great tones! :) In this post i just involve in writing and capture the flowers ;p

Stay bold and be known! Let your life be meaningful. There are so many people out there that is not lucky enough like us. Be grateful for what you had but you still need to seek: "What more i can do for me or my family or my neighborhood or society?" Let's start a positive and and meaningfull life! :)
