Disney on Ice 2015 "Dare to Dream" at Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE)

Today is the most awaiting day for Aurelia (and me :P) . Because we're going to watch Disney on Ice for the first time.


Actually this is not the first time Disney on Ice come to Jakarta. They come every year, with different theme. But we never watched it before because the place was too far from my home, at Istora Senayan, Jakarta. And this year, they will play at 2 different venues, Istora Senayan (as usual) and Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) at BSD Serpong. How glad i am to hear that. Finally i have a chance to watch Disney on Ice with my daughter.






The show held on ICE for 3 days, from April 17th - 19th, 2015. I chose to watch it on Saturday.

They also sell some food and drink. But we already have a breakfast at that time. So we didn't eat there.


Well, this is what Aurelia wear to go to this event. Looks good?


I was going earlier, about 1 hour before the show started. I was worried if the place will be crowded. Although with my Platinum ticket, we already have the seat number. But that's ok, so we still had a time to take a picture first.




There are 5 parts at this show:
- Opening Dance
  They're dancing and showed Tiana as the princess.


- Snow White





- Cinderella



- Tangled (Rapunzel)











- The Final of the show
   All of disney character, including all the prince and princess came out and dance in white costume. Pretty ^^

Eugene and Rapunzel  


Overall, I really like the show. Especially "Rapunzel" part. I like "Eugene" character and my daughter too. Even she never stop laughing when she looked  him.

"WATCH" your style

Most of us would love to wear accessories, whether it be necklace, earrings, bracelets, and watches. Accessories is really important to complete your look. Not just women need it, but also for men. Watch is one of the kind of accessories that can be used both for men and women.


I also like to wear accessories, especially necklace and watch. But it's very difficult for me to find a suitable watch for me. I have a very small wrist. Almost all the watches that I tried, were to big for my wrist. That's why I don't have any collection of watches. The only brand of watch that i can wear is "Swatch"





Swatch is a brand for watches from Swiss. They are selling watches for casual style. Not just for adults, they also have watches for kids. Don't worry about the price. They have a very affordable price for their watches.

Where to buy it?
You don't need to go to Swiss to buy these watches. Now you can find the stores all over the world including Indonesia. Just say in Jakarta, almost in every shopping malls you can find Swatch. Don't have a time to go to mall? Just do online shopping in Zalora .

UNION Brasserie, Bakery and Bar at Street Gallery, Pondok Indah

Last month, i went to UNION at Street Gallery with my family. Its located at Pondok Indah and connected with Pondok Indah Mall 1 & 2. We were going on weekday, so we could get a table without waiting.


First time I saw the place, I think it is not good for children. Its quite dark and crowded. They also said that after 4pm, all the rooms will be free to smoke. But when I saw the rooms inside, I think it's ok to eat there, because they have a large door open. So the smoke will be not smelled by us. Otherwise, i also feel curious with their food - people said that they have very delicious food.





It only take a few minutes to see the menu. They make the menu simple. Doesn't like another italian restaurant which use italian language for their menu.




I ordered "escargot" for the appetizer. I love escargot, but its little bit hard to find escargot in Jakarta.

Escargot IDR 95k

The escargot is really good. It is chewy and salty. Although they only use butter and garlic to make, but it tasted delicious. 1 portion isn't enough for me.

For the mains, i ordered pasta (it's a request from Aurelia). It's a spaghetti, cooked with alba truffle sauce, pork crackling and bacon lardons. Sounds good~~



When it was coming, i didn't think it's a good dish. The presentation is just so so. Not impressive. I only saw the white creamy spaghetti with some pork crackling on top. Looks nothing special. I tried a bit before gave it to Aurelia. Surprisingly, it's so tasty. The saltiness of the truffle sauce, and the savoury of the pork, make it perfect. It's not a big portion, but it's also not too small. However, my daughter can finished that all. She said that it was yummy!!!

Another dish that we ordered is pan seared duck breast with cranberry sauce and roast vegetables. It was one of their recommendations for the western food.

Pan seared  duck breast IDR 160k



The presentation is really good. Unless the roast vegetables which they put in a bowl. It looks "black", and i didn't feel interested to eat that. I ate a bite of the duck breast. It's so tender and juicy. The duck ia cooked very well. But i don't like the sauce. It doesn't taste like cranberry, even more feels like BBQ sauce.
Camomille Tea IDR 30k
Actually we also ordered the pizza which use the wood-fired oven to cook it. But there was a mistake so we canceled it.


Beside the restaurant, they also have a bar and bakery. My friend always recommend their "Red Velvet" cake. However my tummy was really full, and the Red Velvet has a big cut. And i saw another interesting food, cronut..




There are 2 kinds of cronuts, chocolate and cinnamon. I chose cinnamon cronut. It looks tastier than cronut with chocolate on top. In fact, the cronut is out of my expectation. It's crispy, and taste really good. There's a lot of sugar  (with cinnamon powder maybe) at the cronut, and i like that. Even i ordered 1 more cronut to take away.

Cinnamon Sugar Cronut IDR 40K



I'm so satisfied with all the foods here. The price also not too expensive, worth it with the taste of their foods. I'll come back again next time, and make sure i can try their "wood-fired pizza".

Laneige White Plus Renew Night Cream

Hola gurls!! Do you always use the night cream before going to bed? If not, perhaps you should consider to start using it. Night cream is really important to nourish your skin while you're sleeping at night. The cold weather (from Air Conditioner) will make your skin dry without a night cream. So i never forget to put on the night cream at my routine at night.

At this time, i'll review my newest night cream from Laneige. I choose Laneige White Plus Renew Night Cream,  because i'm going to use White Plus Renew line, to make my skin get brighter. But, I didn't buy a full set of White Plus Renew line because i want to make sure that it doesn't have any side effects on my skin. I have a very sensitive skin.




You can see the ingredients of this product at the bottom of the box.


You'll get a small spatula as the applicator to take the cream. It looks good with "LANEIGE" word on it.



The cream texture is really light. You will not feel greasy after use. It also have a very good smell, which it will make you feel more relax during the night.

I have used it for 3 weeks. Now my skin is getting moist (not dry like before), but still get little bit oily on my T-zone. (FYI, i have a dry - combination skin type. Very hard to find the skincare to fix that skin problem). I still haven't felt the whitening / brightening effects. Maybe i will wait until i finish it. And if it works, i'll buy a full set of Laneige White Plus Renew.

P.S. : I bought Laneige White Plus Renew at Seibu Grand Indonesia (IDR 510k)

Chocolate Cassis by Dulcet Patisserie for Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine everyone!! What are you doing at Valentine's Day?? I think it might be something romantic with your couple. Since i was married, no more dinner for me and my hubby at Valentine's Day  :( We have to go with my daughter, or not going at all. And i think it will be weird if we have a dinner with my daughter, at Valentine's Day.

Then i found something interesting for this Valentine's Day. It's a heart-shaped cake by Dulcet Patisserie. They have 2 flavors for this special month, Chocolate Cassis and Incroyable d'amour. I chose Chocolate Cassis because they said it's more delicious than Incroyable d'amour.


Chocolate Cassis consists of special French chocolate cake, blackcurrant tea infused whipped White chocolate ganache, and more chocolate shaved on top. Hmmmm....... Looks good????





If you're looking at the picture, you might be think the texture is too dry. But it's not!! I also think like that at the first time I cut the cake. When i ate the first bite, i didn't feel it's too dry, but it also not too soft. The texture is just right. I don't know what's inside the cake, but there's something crunchy (like peanut) and it makes the cake become perfect.


The taste is also good. The chocolate cake taste not too sweet, and the cream too. When i eat that, i always take the cake, cream, and chocolate shaved at 1 spoon. And i feel it's very delicious.

Dulcet Patisserie is an online cake shop based in Jakarta. They sell a wide variety of typical French pastries like choux, éclair, mille feuille, etc.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Crystal Limited Edition

Hi girls!! This is my first post about skin care. And I will write about a product that has been trusted to make the skin look younger, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence.




Actually this is not the first time I use SK-II FTE. But this time, i got this beautiful Crystal Limited Edition bottle, which the packaging is so gorgeous. This isn't the newest edition. As i know this is the limited edition for Christmas 2013. But i really like the packaging, so I just bought it at Seibu, Grand Indonesia.


For you who never know about SK-II FTE, i'll give you a little explanation about that. Facial Treatment Essence has more than 90% Pitera, an ingredient found more than 30 years ago but still remains the same to this day. This formula gently helps remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and helps the skin surface rejuvenation cycle.

It can help transform your skin 5 dimensions: help disguise dark spots , helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, helping to improve skin texture, skin feels firmer and helps the skin look brighter. The skin looks more radiant captivating crystal clear.

How to use it?
Moisten a cotton swab and rub gently on face for 1 minute. Use the reverse side and gently pat your face and neck for 1 minute. Do this every morning and night after cleansing and toner use.

I have a very sensitive skin. First fime i used it, it was purging my skin. In the first week appeared a few small pimples. But i keep use it twice a day and now all the pimples gone ^^

You might be feel an anti aging product isn't important for you at the age of 20. You don't have any wrinkles on your age. But if you use it from now, you can see the result when you're 30 years old. Your skin will not get older. Even though the wrinkles appear, but it isn't as much of wrinkles that appear on the skin that don't  use the SK-II FTE.


Beside the FTE, i also got the SK-II Whitening Source Derm Revival Mask. I haven't use it before so i can't give the review for that. But i'll use it soon so i can review it.
