Natya Hotel (By Pass Ngurah Rai, Bali) Close to Airport, Comfy Bed, 24/7 Minimart, and One AC Plot Twist
Last Wednesday I went for a blogger invite at Natya Hotel. (thanks, Tya from the Markom team!❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ )
If you’ve got an early flight, this location is a win: on By Pass Ngurah Rai, roughly ~15 minutes to the airport when traffic behaves. Also near Mall Bali Galeria (hi, H&M—my wallet is trembling) #peopledonotcareanyway
It’s somehow March, and last year’s “I’ll deal with it later” has turned into no free time, high stress, every thought is a loud thought. I’ve been dodging friends because I don’t want to turn brunch into a TED Talk about my breakouts.
what i feel right now lololol
The acne started small and cute (a pop here and there) and then, over 3 months, it mutated—itchy, angry, and marching down my neck + cheeks.
I suspected triggers, so I cut back on dairy and oily food (hard mode in Indonesia) and still crave Caramel Macchiato like it’s oxygen.
I started food-logging in an agenda like a stern aunt, and like everyone with a face in crisis—went hunting for a cleanser that wouldn’t make it worse.

Product I Tried

[Review] Selamat Tahun Baru / Happy New Year: Resolusi Nggak Niat & Etude House Dear Darling Tint (Real Red) Review
Halo dulu (ID)
*spoiler alert, broken indonesian, half otaku words, and broken english.
Tahun baru = tambah keriput + malas tulang (hormat dulu ke osteoporosis).
Rewind nggak ada, jadi ya sudah move on.
Resolusi gue? Makan tanpa mikirin timbangan.
Berat? Iya, literally.
2015 banyak perubahan: sedikit lebih dewasa (amit-amit), besties sudah tahu kadar kewarasan gue yagitulah.
Intinya: semoga tahun ini kita lebih tabah dan hidup lebih baik.
Kalau nggak bisa kurus & tinggi, ya mimpi aja dulu.

Still at my previous review about Eyebrow mascara from Etude, I'm gonna review about etude's liptint. I don't really know about liptint, I know it from my friends that keeps talking about 'tint' things. I bought it because i think it looks like lipgloss becase they give it a gloss and shine on your lips. So I made my own conclusion: Liptint provides more collor than gloss but more lightly than a lipstick. This is why I moving on from my lipgloss.
Someone once said “be a proper woman and happiness will find you.”
I said “okay but can she eat?”
Anyway, this week I tried Etude Color My Brows because:
(1) Korean girls’ brows are unfairly cute and,
(2) pencils scare me.
Mascara-for-brows = simple.
What it is
Ms. Hills is heading back to Surabaya (😭). I still have three weeks of holiday and approximately zero humans to kidnap for hangouts.
Balinese friends?
Busy.
Me?
Also “busy”
… auditioning for new friends. T^T
So the night before she left, we did the logical thing: cooked a farewell dinner. She’s a legit good cook; I’m a feral gremlin with a knife.
Cooking class, chaos edition

I spent nearly one hour just cutting ingredients. Chefs do this in 0.5 seconds on TV: witchcraft.
Ms. Hills patiently bossed me around (chef energy), which is why anything got edible.
Waiting for food as a heavy eater? Torture. My stomach wrote a complaint letter.

The menu (and the mayhem)
