You're Beautiful! Yes, You!!


To be honest, tank top wasn't my thing. I have a pair of big arms and I was so afraid how if people mocked me, because I'm in their standards. 

I wore tank top as I wore at this post, I have to say that I wasn't really comfortable that moment, not only because of people glares, but because of my own perception about 'perfect girl'. I always thought that I don't deserve to wear tank top and feel beautiful about this body. When I took pictures for this post, I constantly hate them, and asked my friend to take another pictures, again and again. 


But I asked myself,
Aren't you tired for pleasing society with their 'beauty standards'? 


So now, I decided to walk away--step by step--from my insecurities, about body image that I always thought 'beautiful' that beautiful girl should be has flawless skin, straight hair, slim and tall body but still has 'a shape' (I mean, aren't most of us constructed like that?)
And,
I talked to myself, "Hey it's okay for not pleasing society."
Been struggling many years to love myself. I put much effort to love my curly-wavy hair, my not-so-fair skin, not so skinny body, and my scars especially acne scars on my face.

Top: (X) SML
Pants: Pomelo
Shoes: Berrybenka, Gia
Bag: HnM
Pom-pom: @dailynoonstore
Ring: I don't remember 
Sunglasses: Vintage, my mom's belonging

And I now, I encourage myself to wear anything that I want with confidence, chin up, and proud with the fact that it's my body and I love it.

    Hello Malisa! It's been awhile since the last time I visited your blog and inspired by it! Wanted to let you know that I really liked how the whole outfit turnt out on you! Your light skin can definitely match with any dark colours! Not for me, well it took me years to embrace my tanned skin. But I can now! completely. Though still hating the sunlights! You're contented and enough, perfectly imperfect. Don't let anyone tell you differently!

    Anw, is the vintage jeans by Pomelo has a good price equalled to good quality? consider to buy one cos bestfriend birthday.


    Love, Lucy x

    Girl, we have the same problem because I also have a pair of big arms that just a little below people's standard of beauty. Added the fact that I'm so tan so sleeveless clothes aren't really my friend. Plus, they make me uncomfortable as well because I'm not a huge fan of showing too much skin. I hope I get to have some of your confidence one day though because you look so beautiful here.

      Is okay for not wearing any sleeveless shirt if you're not comfortable with it, just wear anything that makes you comfortable and happy 💛

Fifth Step: [REVIEW] COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream

 Menyadari kalau perlu moisturizer yang bener-bener melembapkan dan bisa nge-seal semua produk dan kelembapan di kulit dengan maksimal, aku nggak bisa pakai mosturizer yang ringan.I need heavy-thick texture moisturizer, tapi dengan kandungan yang tepat buat memperbaiki skin barrier. Setelah liat page Sociolla.com beberapa hari, pilhanku jatuh pada COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream ini. Moisturizer ini bener-bener nggak neko-neko dan gimmick-ish gitu, straight-forward untuk melembapkan kulit karena ada kandungan Hyaluronid sebagai bahan utamanya. Inilah key ingredients yang ada: - Glycerin : salah satu kandungan yang memang baik untuk melembapkan kulitmu yang berguna untuk menjaga lipid kulit di antara sel-sel kulit kita dalam keadaan sehat, melindungi dari iritasi, membantu memulihkan/menguatkan skin barrier. - Sodium Hyaluronate : Merupakan turunan Hyaluronic Acid yang memiliki 'partikel' lebih kecil jadi bisa masuk ke kulit lebih mudah. - Arginine : Semi-essential dari as

Second Cleanser (Part 1): REVIEW Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser (Indonesia)

Haloooo! Udah sebulan lebih aku mengikuti anjuran pemerintah untuk #DiRumahAja. Karena aku merasa banyak waktu luang selama di rumah, jadi aku memutuskan untuk kembali menulis di sini. Teman-teman, jangan lupa untuk jaga kesehatan dengan nggak usah kemana-mana dulu, kalaupun memang ingin pergi baiknya langsung bebersih diri begitu sampai rumah. Kalau kamu ngerasa bosen, bisa mengisi waktu dengan baca-baca tulisan blog ini dan kasih feedback apapun ya, HEHE. Kalau sebelumnya di sini ngomongin soal first cleanser yang aku pakai, sekarang aku akan bahas soal face wash atau second cleanser di sini. First thing first, kondisi kulit dan skin concern -ku saat ini adalah mengembalikan skin barrier yang rusak akibat overexfoliate, yang tentunya akan lebih baik kalau pake face wash yang lembut. Sejujurnya, dulu sempat abai soal facial wash karena menganggap kalau facial wash ini kan hanya ada di wajah dalam waktu singkat. Jadi, nggak akan ada perubahan yang signifikan 'kan?

Apa yang Lucu dari Pelecehan Seksual?

Sumber gambar:  https://relationship.popbela.com/single/dinalathifa/pelecehan-seksual-2 Saya mendapatkan pelecehan seksual sejak saya duduk di bangku sekolah dasar. Sekolah saya merupakan sekolah yang religius, membawa nama salah satu agama di sini. Tidak ada yang namanya aurat--yang selama ini disalahkan--terdapat di sana. (Pada saat itu) pasti tidak pernah terpikir untuk mendapatkan pelecehan dalam bentuk apapun, tapi teman laki-laki saya berkali-kali mencoba membuka rok saya secara paksa, tanpa consent saya. Lalu saya-lah yang merasa malu dengan perlakuan mereka. Sementara mereka? Tertawa, seakan pelecehan ini lelucon belaka. Menginjak semasa SMA, pelecehan seksual rupanya tidak berhenti begitu saja. Tak terhitung berapa kali merasa tidak nyaman ketika teman laki-laki saya bersorak ketika saya lewat, kadang sendiri atau bersama teman, terkadang juga meneriaki kata-kata yang membuat tidak nyaman. Saya menunduk malu dan takut. Sementara mereka? Tertawa. "Ini kan cuma lel
