Quarantine list pt.1

#2020 6:07 PM

I know I know quarantine has over and it's now the new normal era, but I still quarantining my self at home. It's because I just enjoying my time like studying and interning from home. Well, I some kind of a homebody person, you can say.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought so many things. It forces us to normalize the things that we don't usually do and also give us the opportunity of doing the things that we couldn't do before. For example, I really wanted to write my blog frequently, but it's because I don't have much time to write due to my tight schedule of collage and organization stuff, so I couldn't write my blog frequently. Much worse, I ever write just two articles in a year.

Since I go to my hometown and spend most of my days at home, I can do so many things that I really wanted to do, but haven't got the change before. I could write my blog more frequently now, I could take a digital marketing certification, and any other things. I'm not trying to say that my activities at college have a stand in the way my self from doing such activities, but I just want to highlight the bright side of my quarantine.

In this post, I'm going to share a few random favorite things for me to spend my quarantine. I'm thinking about making this kind of post into a series, but I don't know. I still have to think about it. If you find the part.2 of this post, then I decided to make it as a series.

The Alchemist

This book tells us a story about a young man, Santiago who traveled far from his country to search for a treasure. He wanders from Spain to Egypt, looking for a treasure that a king told him. He is facing a lot of obstacles while he tried to find the treasure and searching for his own dreams.

Reading this book makes me call my inner adventurous soul. I really love this book. I know this book from my high school best friend, Sifa. Hi, Sifa! if you reading this. She told me that this was a good book and I'm going to like the story. Turn out, she is right. I really like the story. This book is a "must-read". This book makes me want to travel to Spain and Egypt and Africa and anywhere that has a desert and dry place. I was really curious about how it feels like to ride a camel in the middle of a desert, how it feels like to see pyramids, and how it feels like to see a wonderful city with a lot of unique buildings. Spain and Egypt are definitely on my travel bucket list!

Since I can't travel anywhere, this book feels like brought me to the place inside the book where Santiago go and this book makes me imagining the places that Santiago visited. Oh, I hope that I can visit those places soon.

By the way, If you guys have any books recommendation for me, please let me know :)

K-Dramas

I've been watching and liking K-dramas lately. Now, I'm a huge fan of it. I really love to see handsome Oppas, lol. I actually watch a lot of it, but I think in this post I just want to recommend you guys a few of it because if I recommend all of my watching lists it will be a very long post. So I'll recommend a few dramas that come from 2020. I'm going to continue it on the other post, I guess.

I've been watching a lot of crime, thriller, and action dramas. I recently watched The Flower of Evil, but it hasn't finished yet and now I'm waiting for the next episode. But, I saw an Instagram post last day telling about the production of Flower of Evil that has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I just hope the best for the drama.

Find me in your memory

I think that's all for today. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and don't forget to wear your mask wherever you go.

Layering 101

#2020 1:58 PM

Layering can be tricky sometimes, isn't it?

I love layering my outfit, especially because I live in a city with a lot of highlands, so it's quite cold and windy sometimes. I found that layering was a fun thing to do. I can mix and match a few same items without feeling bored of wearing repetitive clothes.

Layering sometimes can be tricky and hard. It can make us look bulky or it can make us look like a sick person. So, today I'm going to write about a few tips for all of you my beloved readers and friends on how to layering your clothes from my personal perspective. Disclaimer: I'm not a pro so this post is just my personal opinion and the things that I applied on my self whenever I'm layering my outfit, lol.

1. Add some basic and play with pattern

Adding some basic items to your layering outfit could balance everything. For example, you can put a basic t-shirt underneath your tartan outer or patterned blazer or you can switch the positions. Playing mix and match basic and statement items can be so much fun and avoid us from 'boring' outfit.

2. Play with colors

Mix and match your outfit and play with the colors. You can wear a bright outfit with a neutral color. You can mix a dark color with a nude color. Even more, you can mix and match a bright color with a bright color as long as you can mix it the right way. I think that wearing colors that match your skin tone is really important too. To find out more you can click here and it will lead you to an article that I found may be quite helpful for you to find out more about how to match your skin tone with colors.

3. Put fun Accessories

To complete the whole looks you can add fun accessories such as hand watch, necklace, bracelet, ring, or whatever you want.

4. Put thinner layer inside

It's like the most important thing about layering. If you don't want your self look bulky, you should apply these tips. I think if you put both of your thick clothes on your layering outfit you will look like someone comes from the Iceberg or unleash you're living in a country that has crazy winter.

Andddd finally, here are a few references on how to layering your outfit.

I hope that it is useful for all of you and if you guys have any feedback or suggestion for me please let me know because sometimes I just really don't know what to write and how to write well, so the readers won't get bored on my writing. I really wanted to write engaging content.

I found out a new hobby

#2020 4:30 PM

Hi, people! how are you?

First of all, I would like to say happy Eid al-Adha for those who celebrate it, even though it's kinda late (I know).

Beads jewelry has been on trend this year. Many online shops sell this kind of thing. I've seen them on Instagram and they have such a cute item, starting from ring to necklace and bracelet. I think that this trend comes from Korea. I've seen so many Korean influencers and artists wearing beads jewelry and it's been running on my Instagram explore.

OMG, THAT'S SO CUTE RIGHT?? and after thinking for a while I think that to fill out my quarantine and spare time and also to cure my burnout after working on so many things, I decided to buy the material (the beads, the string, etc) for making my own beads jewelry. Also watching youtube to see how I can make it. I'm a kind of a homebody and I often feel too lazy to go out if it not too important or I'm not in the mood of going out. Especially today, during this pandemic. So, making beads jewelry at home could be a good and fun thing to do.

That's the tutorial that I saw before I make my own jewelry and don't be worry the videos have English subtitles. And here I'm making my own beads ring.

A little fun fact but it's not important (lol) that I really love flowers, that's why I took those pictures with flowers as a background. Ok, back to the topic.

I really love making something at the weekend to spend my time. It is really making me away from my phone for a while. Maybe, other people found out about their new hobbies in this quarantine, such as cycling, cooking, or gardening. For me this is my new hobby, making beads jewelry. I often do this activity while I'm watching Korean drama or watching Youtube. For now, I can make the simple style one and in the future, I want to learn how to make the complex one. Later, I also want to make another kind of jewelry not only ring. You know finding a new activity or hobby is quite interesting and fun. It can make you less stressed, especially in the middle of this pandemic.

Happy weekend all, I hope that you guys have a wonderful day to rest and to do your hobby!

xoxo,

Just a friendly reminder in the middle of the day

Hello people, how are you?

I think it's been months since I rarely go out and just stay at home for most of my days. I really miss going out and hang out with my friends. And how about you?

Lately, I've been thinking about reducing my time on social media. If you guys asking what is my favorite social media? I would like to say Instagram and Twitter. To be honest I really like to see my social media, especially Instagram to look for inspirations and because I'm a visual kind of person, I really like to see pictures. Due to those reasons, I can't delete or deactivated my social media for a long time, so I thing reduce my time on it is a win-win solution.

Talking about social media, I think a lot of people share a lot of things on it. Starting from lifestyle, achievement, personal story, traveling journey, or any other things that the account owner wanted to share. I also do those things. I try to share a wonderful moment in my life or just simply my #OOTD. Social media can be a very useful channel if we use it wisely and it also can be destructive. Believe it or not, social media give us a huge impact on our daily life. It can make us lazy by making us lay around and scroll our social media all day long or lately, Tiktok has been trending, so it can make us making or practicing Tiktok choreography all day long and forget about any other important things that we should do in that day.

Manage your time wisely on social media is really important. You and yourself who have control over your life have the decision on how you want to manage it. Be true to your self on what the things that you really want and the things that really matter. I, in my personal opinion, suggest you split your time, like when you should do your works and when you can take a rest while scrolling your Instagram. It, hopefully, works for me and I hope that it also could work with you. Just a friendly reminder for me and for all of us.

I hope you guys have a wonderful day and stay well.

xoxo,
