DIY: PERFECT WAVES UNDER 1O MINS BY KRISTIN ESS!

Credit: article is taken straight from The Beauty Department

Perfect Waves under 10 Minutes 
by Kristin Ess.

Your goal with this is just to put some quick, polished curl from middle to ends of your hair so you don’t look too disheveled for work or school when you’re in a rush. This one is ideal for anyone with straight or limp hair. If your hair is wavy or curly, blow it out the night before and follow the same instructions. 

Steps for waves in under 10 minutes:
1. ) Divide your hair into 4 sections. I like to take the hair that falls in front of the shoulders + the hair that falls behind the shoulders and then split them in 2 to get my 4 sections. Clip the front sections up.
2.) Curl section one (see above). Start with the middle and inch your way down to the ends. I like using a 1″ barrel for this but you can also use 1 1/4″ if you have that.
3.) Curl section two. Make sure you’re directing everything back and down just as Melissa is in the photos.
4.) Curl section three. Try to avoid spraying with hairspray until after the final section if you can.
5.) Curl section four. After this section, go in for any little adjustments. Spray all over with a light to medium holding hairspray, and RUN! Don’t forget to unplug the curling iron.

PLA PYTHON LOVE!

I've been eyeing on this python bag for a while...! I love how they make the pleats around the bag. It feels soft and cushy! The bag is rather pricy due to real full skin leather. I got quite a deal for it today! 
Lovin' it! Yay!
My Pick: The Grey Color
Bag is by Pla
Available in different shades and colors.
Plaza Indonesia (near Minneapolis),
Jakarta-Indonesia.

THE HEAVENLY FIRST LOVE CAKE: THE CONTACT!

I've been getting so many inquiries regarding the Hokkaido Layered Cake that I posted almost a week ago. The Cake is simply heavenly!! Yummm...! Pure Awesomeness!!
Therefore, I've decided to share the contact with you guys on the blog:
First Love Patisserie
(+62)021-36232828
081-808843888
087-887680333
Jakarta, Indonesia
(You will need to order 2 days in advance)
PS: The cake will come in a frozen form, so you will need to thaw it in a regular fridge for approximately 3 hours. You will have to wait until the cake gets soft before serving it. Close the cake back with its plastic wrapping every time you're putting it back inside the fridge (to retain its moisture).
 *They don't put the instruction on the Box.
I'm a serious Die Heart Fan!!!
Enjoy Guys!!!
With Love,
E.
My favorite: The Original Flavor.

99 FOOD

@99 Ranch, Grand Indonesia,
Jakarta.
Deep Fried Calamari.
I like this one, because the texture is not so rubbery.
 ...
 Nasi Goreng Istimewa
For a restaurant that serves both Western and Asian food, the basic nasi goreng is quite fantastic! In Indonesia, the yumminess of the nasi goreng is the basic measure of how competent the restaurant's kitchen is, No? :D
The Hong Kong Noodle?
The noodle is very good, very spicy and quite satisfying.

As much as I love my recent splurge, the Celine Zipper Cobalt Blue Pants (which I wore almost with everything), I was COL aka. crying out loud when I saw this Zara Green Zipper Pants! The cutting looked almost perfect and the zipper was exactly in the same position, and best of all it only costs a portion of the Celine's price. Huaa..!!!!
