NOTHING IMPROVES YOUR MOOD LIKE A NEW MANICURE

Yup, That's true ..."nothing improves your mood like a new manicure" - (quote by sonailicious.com)


Last Sunday we had a girls pamper day and went to our favorite nail and beauty bar; Vita Luxe at Seminyak Village


First, the place is beautiful and cozy with a modern Parisian design concept. It has massage pedicure chairs. So imagine..we really feel like a first class guest...Chic!


Second, the service is good...The nail technicians are professional and polite ( very important !), dressed in a neat and beautiful uniform that goes with the whole concept of the place..."Parisian"



Third, to be in that luxurious place and having such a wonderful treatment, the price is very reasonable ( super important..!) How come it won't improve our mood !


So...next time you come to Bali, I recommend you guys to go to this place...pamper yourself and improve your mood.

STYLE HUNT - Seminyak Square Bali

Sejak saya tinggal di Bali, saya paling senang berburu baju di bazaar Seminyak Square, walaupun banyak butik2 dengan gaya interior super keren memanjakan mata dengan koleksi busana yang cantik( itu satu hal lagi yang paling saya suka di Bali...melihat gaya interior toko dan kafe kafe yang super kreatif), belanja baju disini tidak kalah menariknya.
Bazaar Seminyak Square terletak dijalan Kayu Aya atau yang lebih dikenal dengan jalan Oberoi. Disebut juga dengan Eater Street karena banyaknya restaurant di sepanjang jalan itu seperti Ultimo, Cafe Bali, Rumours yang sudah terkenal. 
 Bazaar ini digelar di halaman parkir Seminyak Square yang merupakan mini mall.Di sini kalian bisa menemukan baju baju dengan desain dan motif yang cantik dengan harga miring ( Kalau kita bandingkan dengan yang ditawarkan di butik / toko yang ada disekitarnya)


Buat saya pribadi belanja di tempat ini seperti "treasure hunt" . Memang harus punya extra waktu untuk melihat satu persatu. Masalahnya kalau di butik semuanya terdisplay dengan cantik sehingga lebih mudah memilihnya sedangkan disini tidak. Jadi memang harus sabar dan telaten


Ini beberapa baju hasil "treasure hunt" saya..... Ga kalah cantik khan .


Satu hal lagi yang saya suka, karena rata rata baju ini sisa ekspor ( bukan reject ya, tapi biasanya mereka memang membuat lebih dari jumlah yang dipesan ) per motif tidak ada banyak, bahkan kadang per motif hanya ada satu. Jadi tidak banyak kembarannya... Well, Bali khan kecil... ga lucu kalau kemana mana terus ketemu "kembaran" hahaha... ( itu cuma pendapat saya lho, ada banyak orang yang tidak keberatan dikembarin )

So...next time kalau lagi liburan di Bali dan punya extra time, silahkan hunting di bazaar Seminyak Square ini. Hopefully you find something that you like.

DIY: decorating your mug using Sharpie

Today my two daughters and I really had fun decorating our mug using sharpie
Many of you might have heard or done this before, while for us this is the first time that we finally could make time to do it. 

Now each of us have our own special mug and we were proud of it. At the end it's not about making a good drawing or not, but the effort and how we express ourselves  and most of all it's about having fun.

For some more ideas of  DIY with sharpie, you can go to BRIT+ CO
Have fun....

STAMP PAINTING TECHNIQUE

I wanted to try this stamp technique since long time ago. So far could not find the right time until yesterday, when I received this vintage look wooden candle holder.
Using a rubber stamp that actually for the use of decorating scrap book and an acrylic paint I started decorating it. As highlight, using cutting paper to create different pattern and a sponge I paint it on top using lighter color.



For the farm house look...shabby...or vintage, this is perfect. Love it !

Playing with Patterns

It had been a hectic moments lately. Moving the house seemed endless... opening the boxes, organizing the stuff, shopping for whatever needs, etc..etc...It just blocked my mind; no ideas, no creativity to do productions for my shop Tan Living 

Thank's God summer holiday came and off we go to disconnect from whatever we had been doing.  Once we were back home, I felt like a new person; full of ideas and spirit. 

I wanted to express what I saw and felt during those holiday into product that tells stories. So I started to make some drafts discuss it with my two good friends RIA LEIMENA and JOSECHU, and with their help, I am now having a new "baby"- a line of limited home accessories products that will be launched soon.We are now counting the days of introducing our first series; a collection that talk about nature;

MIDNIGHT MOON TREE, MIDNIGHT MOON and FOREST...
