Seminggu lewat nggak ada postingan baru, rasanya gagal banget jadi blogger. Blogging is the only thing that makes me feel productive on daily basis. Maklum ya, kerjaan ibu rumah tangga nggak jauh-jauh dari urusan domestik dan anak. Jadi kalau ada yang bisa "diselesaikan" di luar itu, rasanya bahagia sekaliii.

Monday Favorites #6: Whats Up Moms (Youtube Channel)

I'm back with Monday Favorites! 

Udah lama banget nggak nulis topik ini. Blog feature ini tadinya berjudul Monday Favorite Links, penjelasan kontennya kurang lebih seperti ini: Monday Favorite is a blog feature where I share inspiring, awesome, lovely stuff from the internet world. 

Aku sengaja hilangin links-nya, karena aku pengen share satu hal secara keseluruhan. Jadi biar bisa lebih detil gitu, lho. 

Hari ini mau share sesuatu yang belakangan ini jadi tontonan favorit aku banget. It's a number #1 parenting channel on Youtube, Whats Up Moms.

Monday Favorites #5

Blue-ish scene at Sanur I snapped when we missed our speedboat off to Nusa Penida last month *sobs*

(1) "A Month Without Coffee" by Zen Habits

Since last week, when my brother was off for a week from his duties at hospital, everytime he found out me drinking coffee while I was working, he started to give me speech about why-drinking-coffee-everyday-is-not-good-for-health. I give my defense from articles that I've read but I think it's useless since I was talking with a doctor-wannabe, right? But I guess he's right, and I hope this report by Leo from Zenhabits, helps me commit to stop drinking too much coffee. Start tomorrow. *glancing to my cup of coffee this morning*

(2) "The Top 4 Cities to Get A Cup of Coffee" by Nerd Wallet (Levo.com)

While I should stop drinking coffee, I think this article is amazing. I always wonder how typical Americans have their coffee-break in a fancy coffee shop. I always think it must be cool. 

(3) "12 Rookie Decorating Moves You Might Be Making" by My Domaine 

I will be moving soon and that will be my first moving experience by my own. I might not be a good designer, but me and Andreas have decided to decorate our own nest soon (we even want to paint walls by ourselves!). 

(4) "13 Types of Girl: Which One is Your Date?" by Marcella Purnama 

I think Marcella is genius for making this list *calling for every boys to read this*. Anyway, at first I thought I am type number six, but I think I am more the last type. What number are you, ladies?  

(5) How to Treat Every Day Like It's Friday by Pop Sugar Food

Wish everyone of you have a wonderful and blessed a week ahead! Stay awesome!

Monday Favorites #4

Happy Monday everyone! What's your plan for today? I went to the gym this morning and joined Zumba class for second time. I came home with awesomeeeee feeling! Seriously they said exercise gives you happy endorphins, I think they're absolutely right. Here some my favorite links today, I hope everyone of you have a good one. Stay awesome!

(1) "Happiness Without Guilt" by Our City Lights

"Having a broken heart was the best and worst gift I've ever received", Diana said. She's happy after all. 

(2) "The Cult History of Starbucks' New Drink" by Refinery29

They are talking about Starbucks' new drink: Flat White. I don't even know flat white isn't that popular in US. Flat white is popular when I was working in Starbucks. Later I knew, it was invented by Australians. Maybe that's why flat white always in every cafe's coffee menu, many Australians here in Bali. If you are not a latte person, I urge you to try flat white. 

(3) "Quote of Day" by Andra Alodita 

These beautiful quotes are soooo refreshing! A little reminder how we can enjoy a happy life by thanking God about His miracles in our every day life. Starting now, girls! 

(4) "3 Intentions to Change Your View of Fitness & Health" by Anne Taylor (on Thoughts of Natalie)

One of my 2015 resolution: change my perspective about healthy lifestyle. 

(5) "Trouble Sleeping" by Anne Taylor 

I have my own trouble sleeping sometimes. Last Monday I got trouble sleeping, my brain couldn't stop working. I don't find my best solutions yet, maybe Anne's tips would help.

Monday Favorites #3

Happy Monday everyone. Another great links that I found and I hope they will inspire you through the day. Well, I mean for the next day, because I meant to post this in the morning but yeah whatever. You can read them before you sleep and feel good on the next morning. Have a great night and sleep well.

1. "Less is More: Tips on Living Minimal" by Pale Lily
I have been thinking about "simplicity" lately in every aspects of my life, and my mind was blown by reading this beautiful post. Everyone of us could live a simple life, but we normally turn it to a complicated one instead (I said normally, because.. it is!). I don't know why since when I feel like that I take my life as a competition. That makes me sometimes I am afraid that I am not good enough to be a better person. When I see people do better than I do, I start to compete. Sounds bad I know, but thanks God I realized everyone owns different life. If I won't live my life, then who will. Stop comparing myself is definitely my first step for living minimal.

Anyway, please do visit Pale Lily, Sofia writes beautifully in every post. A plus for the clean layout.

2. "10 Things You Need to Learn to Start Living The Life of Your Dreams" by Grease and Glamour
There's only one word to describe this post: fancy. I am not a girl who really likes or eager to travel around the world, but I always find in such an amazing way when people learn about life through a journey that they take alone. Again, it still related to living minimal, if you guys take a decision to live your dreams, let's doing these 10 things together. Scare yourself enough, push yourself enough, then let your future surprises you.

3. "How to Breath" by Zenhabits
In case you suddenly forget how to take a breath, this post is for you.

4. "Healthy Iced Coffee Protein Shake" by Simply Taralynn
I have a seriously relationship with coffee (in case you don't know about it). Since I haven't get my coffee maker yet, I always go for instant coffee and that's not really good. I am so glad to find this genius recipe from Taralynn (known as Undressed Skeleton). It's great recipe because I had my very first protein powder already and I can't wait to mix it with coffee. Sounds like this will be my next favorite drinks, we will see.

5. "Breakfast Hacks: 17 Ways You're Eating Breakfast Wrong"
My dear friend Sastika sent me this link, because she knows me that well about breakfast *wink*. Some of them I've been following right, the rest of them just blow my mind. And you're so wrong when you don't have your breakfast in a day.

Monday Favorites #2

 

Happy Monday everyone, how was your day? I hope everything is going well. Feel super great since this morning when I woke up. And as I remember, I was even screaming "what a beautiful daaaaay!" when I just opened my eyes, and realized it was pretty gloomy outside hahaha. Whatever, I should do this every day because it really feels good. 

This happy-good-mood brought me here to post another Monday links. Some my favorite links for this past week and I think that would be great if I share them with you all. Sharing is loveee, right? So here we go! 

(1) Personal Branding by The College Prepster
I never thought about personal branding for this blog, but this old post from Carly was like a ringing bell for me. This blog has been running since early 2010, I slightly remembered why I decided to begin this blog, the point is, I want to take this blog seriously. I am kinda curious how I "publish" my trueself through this blog for all this time, so personal branding is kinda important. And about business card, I have mine already since  Jesrisoles was born (I feel so proud when I handed my first business card and everytime I meet someone for business requirement, I'll hand over my card :P), but still I want to make another one. Maybe another design with the title "blogger/writer/entrepreneur/" under my name. Awww. 

(2) "You never know who you're inspiring" by Maxie
This post is like a little morning call for me (thank you Maxie!). Beside thinking desperately about how we are going to inspire others, please note this. Everyone's watching you. Every move you make, every words you say, people pay attention to you. We never know that our life is important for someone. So, live well. 

(3) "Oh My Coffee" by Dinda Puspitasari
Dinda's blog is my new favoriteeeeee! I started to follow her on Instagram because she has those cute illustrations and personal style (gosh, such a talented girl!). This link is a random post I found, but I was like "oppssss" when I read it. Oh my coffee, maybe I should cut my caffeine too? ): 

(4) 7 Ways to Sleep Better Tonight 
My sleep hours is kinda messy since I have this crazy working shifts. I used to go for bed at eleven, but now is really impossible to go to the bed on that time. I am trying to stack my pillows well, sprinkling my body with bedtime powder for baby in lavender scent before sleep (sometimes it works), and listen to my piano instrument playlist. I was thinking to move over my bed, because the position right now is really close to my working desk, which is not really a comfort zone (because my phone, my tablet, my laptop are near my bed, duh!). Having a really beauty sleep is hard, if you are a good sleeper, you are so lucky. I promise when I finished this post, I am going straight to my bed.

(5) Bali's Best 5 Hidden Beaches 
Andreas sent me this link and he asked me to seek these beautiful hidden beaches, I said yes. Bali owns much of beautiful, gorgeous, and romantic beaches ever. Some of popular beaches are full of tourists and I almost cannot enjoy the real itself anymore. Andreas will be back next week here and wish us luck as a beach seeker!


Well, that's it. As my promise, I am ready to bed now. Have a good night people, don't forget to stay awesome in the next morning. Sweet dreams!

Monday Favorites #1

 View from my spot at Waterbom Bali today

Happy Tuesday everyone!

We had been through a long weekend (I bet you guys had a great one!) and now we are all back for another great week *fingers crossed*. Honestly, I didn't have a great morning today, something spoiled my mood, and I had a little bit accident on the road on my way home. Thank God I am saved, and the person that bumped me from the back saved too, but my ride's body has damage. You might think today is really not a good day for me, well maybe yes, but it's not a big deal for me. I am still grateful because at least I had my chicken muffin for breakfast hehe (:
