Fashionably Affordable with Ada Buti (SPONSORED)

Hey guys!!!

How ya doin? Me, not so good... Currently down with cough and flu, i am actually super high from cough meds at the moment so if i seem incoherent in this blog post... You know why *LOL*! It's been a remarkably cold day in Surabaya, my hand are as cold as ice and i really want to snuggle with my comforter but first... Gotta get this post up :D!

Last Sunday Surabaya Beauty Blogger held our very first Soiree, all planned, prepared and executed by us - and i am very proud to announce that it was a total success :D!

One of the sponsors/collaborators of this first Soiree is the local fashion brand : Ada Buti. I don't know if i ever mentioned it in this blog yet, but i am actually a huge fan of Ada Buti. Ada Buti is a store that... Pretty much has everything you look for. From something super casual and timeless, to trendy statement pieces, i believe if you have a good eye - you can always find your gems here, and another plus? Everything is affordable here (most stuffs are under IDR 200k each). I personally have been a loyal customer ever since they opened up their first store in Surabaya, i always make a point to visit their stores and more often than not, leave with some new clothes >.<).

So with that history that i had with Ada Buti, i was expectedly very excited when they became one of our collaborators ^^!.

As one of the hosts of the soiree, i had the privilege to choose some pieces from Ada Buti for myself that we wore to the soiree.

And this is my outfit!

Our resident fashion expert, Chelshea, gave us this rule when picking our outfits : monochrome with a touch of red :)).

All bloggers in Ada Buti outfits

Holiday season is approaching super fast and Chelshea focused on the Fall/Winter 2017 trend, hence the color selections ^^.

I am not told to say this, but Ada Buti is having LOADS of promotion at the moment, their already very affordable clothes become down right cheap! My flared grey skirt was IDR 79.000 or something after 50% off >.<, if you are in need for new outfits for upcoming holiday (or you're simply a shopaholic like me) then you should head to the nearest Ada Buti store, NOW!

Touch of red for me come in the form of my adorable heart shaped clutch and my classic red lipstick (it's Viva Cosmetics' Perfect Shine Lip Color in 208 Gorgeous Red, btw)

My outfit is pretty simple and plain so i jazzed it up with a statement necklace

The main focus of my outfit is obviously the unique sleeves! You can't see the details here because white on white is... A challenge, but i will feature an extra photo where you can!

This outfit is also ridiculously comfortable.. You know i'm all about comfort now! Long are the days where i would suffer for fashion :))

Both top and skirt can be paired with different pieces, the styling option is endless!

Other than the statement necklace, i also wore a Swarovski wrap bracelet and ring. I also wore a pretty fun earrings but.. I can't find the pic and i'm too lazy to ask my photog (Olin, ofc) for it now hahaha

The heart shaped clutch is monogrammed, i wanted my initial MT on it, but they only honor one or three initials WTF. On second thought i should do "WTF" coz it's practically my middle name HAHAHA

My hair seriously needs a retouch, eh?

And here's a bonus shot taken at Warung Wakaka later that night, when my face already became super "meh", my lips faded and my shoes changed into my fugly sandals...

But here i think you can see the details of the wavy ballon sleeves better

I also did a Holiday inspired makeup even though we have no winter (but at least lately it's been so cold i can at least imagine like we're having "winter" instead of flood everywhere)...

Loads of glitter, shimmer and a classic red lips

My fave eyeshadow technique lately : halo eyes!

I am the person who believes that you can buy expensive clothes, but you can never buy style. No matter how expensive your clothes are, if you don't have that sense of style... They would look crap on you :)). On the contrary, affordable clothes can look extra chic and fashionable too as long as you have the right fashion sense and eye. That's why i can safely say that Ada Buti really is one of my fave fashion haunt!

What about you? Would you wear affordable clothings as long as they look good or you would only wear fashion with high price tags?

October Movies

entertainment

Hey guys!

November is almost over, so even though i should probably try to clear out my deadlines, i really want to up my monthly movies review first. Last month we spent half of the month in South Korea so we didn't actually watched all that much movies at all. Only four in total and i like most of them!

1. Pengabdi Setan

You know i'm a die hard horror movie fan, and i really support high quality local horror movies. Lately it seems like the good horrors are reemerging (i think those highly sexual, comedy horrors are finally subsiding!) in the local scene-a total cause to celebrate haha! But in all honesty, i wasn't very enthusiastic about this movie (which title translates roughly into Satan's Worshipper). I saw the trailer quite a number of times in the cinema but i was not too interested in it. It looks super old (it's actually a remake of a classic local horror movie, but the storyline is quite different) and gloomy but it didn't peaked my interest. But then it blew up while we were in Busan. It was such a big hit that i ended up dying to watch it so as soon as we arrived in Jakarta, i nagged hunny to go watch it.

The movie's set in 1981 (i wasn't even born yet haha), an aging singer has been lying in her bed for years with an unknown illness. She is wasted away in a super creepy way that even her children (except for whom i think is her fave, second child Toni) are scared of her. When she finally passes, the father left his 4 children at the care of the 2 eldest child (the eldest one is an adult at 22) to take care of some business (back in 1981 cellphones are obviously not available yet and they don't even have house phone so if anything happen-and pretty much EVERYTHING happen-they can't even contact him). Strange and eerie things start happening, it seems like their mother is back from the grave to pick them up.

I love this movie! It's not perfect, but it's very, VERY good! I personally like almost every aspects of this movies aside from the few last minutes in the end (which i find pretty much destroys all the eerieness built up in much of the movie!). This movie is very very gloomy, a bit slow but not boring in anyway, i love how they make the accidents look real (a rare feat in local productions. Especially if you watch made for TV movies/sinetron with super slow motion accidents where the car never even touches the person but then the person almost always dies hahaha) and how creepily realistic the makeup is. The built up atmosphere is very hardcore and engaging, the music, the acting... All are top notch. I highly, highly recommend this movie for all horror fans, just ignore the ending and the zombie pocong part *LOL*, i would still rewatch this movie for the good parts! I sure hope they make a sequel tho because well, they should make another movie that's as good as this one, and also because they need to answer a lot of unanswered questions (that seems to be a total plotholes at the moment) in this movie.

2. The Foreigner

A rare movie where Jackie Chan is being serious. Ofc hunny gotta drag me to watch it... You know i like Jackie too so i didn't actually mind.

Quan is humble Chinese restaurant owner in London whose only child (he has no other family member left other than her) is killed in a terrorist attack that blows up a bank nearby a little boutique she is heading to. Consumed by grief, Quan looks for an answer on the identity of the killer, his rentless investigation leads him to an Irish Deputy Minister, whom he believes know about the terrorists and would stop at nothing to get the answer he wants. Turns out Quan is so much more than meets the eye and soon, everybody knows not to underestimate the old, Chinese man.

It's a pretty solid movie, it has none of the usual happy-go-lucky Jackie movie, instead he embodies the role of a grieving father perfectly. Storywise, i don't think there's that much to it, it's pretty straigh forward but then again you don't really go watch a Jackie Chan movie for the drama. It's definitely pretty good and engaging, i wouldn't exactly call it a must watch, but it's definitely a good watch.

3. Thor Ragnarok

Ehh... I do enjoy myself pretty much all Marvel movies. Never been a fan of Thor movies tho, i do like Thor, but i prefer him in Avenger movies, he just seems... sillier there. But the first two Thor movies were quite "meh" for me personally (i find Thor to be too vanilla and prefer cheeky Loki instead), so i was nowhere near as excited as hunny was when Thor Ragnarok played. I was in for a surprise tho because i ended up liking this one a lot! It's just so much funnier than the previous two movies that i was thoroughly entertained.

Asgard has turn to be quite a chaos in the hand of Loki who impersonate Odin, when Thor forces him to get them to Odin - they witnessed the real passing of Odin, which also means the release of Hela, Odin's first born who is just pure evil. She threw them both out of space to die, but ended up in Sakaar. Thor finds himself forced to be a gladiator, only to realize that the big enemy is no other than Hulk. Meanwhile in Asgard, Hela is turning it upside down, killing everyone in her path. Thor must find a way to go back to Asgard and save his people.

Please, don't complain of the storyline being too simple, you should know what you're walking into when you're about to watch a super hero movie - it's definitely not for the plot. The entertainment level tho, is through the roof. It's hilarious, with a lot of crazy scenes and CGI ofc. A must watch for all Marvel/superhero/fantasy movie lover, i doubt you'd be sorry.

4. Geostorm

Geostorm is another classic example of a movie in which i have no interest at all to even go see but ended up liking quite a bit.

When natural disasters are getting really crazy due to climate changes, our very survival is on jeopardy. Goverments from around the world united to create the Dutch Boy program, which is a world wide net of satellites that work to control the earth's climates and therefore, preventing natural disasters from happening. The Dutch Boy's designer however, is kicked off from the program not too long after because of his cowboy-ish way of not following protocols and orders from higher authorities. Two years after its stellar performance, something is starting to go very, very wrong.

It's a very interesting and engaging movie i think, granted... The ending is pretty predictable and not exactly the movie's strongest point, but as far as disaster movies go... It's not bad. I'm actually surprised at the low score it got in IMDb because i personally don't think it's all that bad. I read a very strong (negative) review there so you should probably take a look at that review too because i know i don't want to be accused of making you watch something you might potentially see as "garbage" *LOL*. Me, i enjoyed it. It's not the best movie of the year (or even the month) or anything, but i wasn't bored and didn't leave the cinema feeling cheated. But that's me and our opinion might differ.

Okay! That's it for now! TTYL!

Lip-Talk 28 : Moodmatcher by Fran Wilson (SPONSORED)

beauty

Hey ladies!

This month Surabaya Beauty Blogger has a LOT of collaborations with lippie brands, and one of which i am most excited about is with MoodMatcher by Fran Wilson!

Have you ever heard of Moodmatcher before? It's been quite trending lately (although they have been around since 1986 - meaning they are almost as old as i am >.<) and i honestly been eyeing them for a while. Moodmatcher is a long lasting lipstick that can last up to 12 hours and the name MoodMatcher i guess is inspired by those old skool mood rings (i used to love those!) because like those color changing rings, Moodmatcher immediately changes color once become in contact with your lips. They would turn to various wearable colors depending on your lip's PH level, which means even if you and i wear the same shade from them, the end result can be different. This also means that even though they come in mostly crazy shades on the tubes, they are actually very, very wearable.

I always have a thing for color changing stuffs, especially lippies. When i was little, i had those Arabian yellow and green lipstick (not unlike these Moodmatchers because they also have similar shades) and i loved them - Moodmatcher brings back my sense of nostalgia on those good ole' days and i couldn't wait to try them when they arrived at my doorstep!

Other than the way they uniquely change color on your skin and being very long lasting, Moodmatcher also contains vitamin E and Aloe Vera that helps to moisturize your lips all day long.

Now it's time to check if all their claims are met upon testing!

Each member of Surabaya Beauty Blogger was allowed to choose 2 shades, i decided to choose a light and a dark shade and hope that they would translate into different shades on my lips.

I chose Light Blue and Black

Packaging wise, they are not my favorite. They come in a plastic tube with clear tops, the tube is the typical affordable lipsticks, very light weight with the tip of the lipstick bullet peeking out-this is total disaster for such a clumsy person like me because i would very often nick the bullet accidentally when opening/closing the lippie and that would ruin my day! Having said that, these are their old packaging, their new packaging is more modern looking, sleek, and most importantly - less accident prone hahaha. Some of my SBB fellows got the new packaging, you can check out their posts to see how the new packaging looks like.

The shade name can be found on the white sticker sealing the tube so once you remove the sticker, you can no longer find the shade's name. You don't really need them tho because the name of the shade is very matter-of-fact and the cap is clear so you know which shade you are grabbing no matter how many Moodmatchers you have!

Each lipstick contains 3.5g of products inside

Since Moodmatcher changes color according to your lips' PH level, i find it a bit hard to swatch properly on my hand. They do change color but the swatches look very sheer and kinda dodgy >.< so please don't judge this lovely lipstick from the hand swatches!

L : Light Blue, R : Black

Even though they call it a lipstick, i personally would categorize them as lip tints. They glide very buttery and effortlessly, it feels very moisturizing and it does leave a slight sheen on your lips (not like lip glosses tho, the end result is more like a very pigmented tinted lip balm), they don't give you a full coverage as usual lipsticks do, but they give a vivid, lovely tint instead. They feel good with/without lipbalm underneath (if you want it to stay very long without reapplying then wear it alone) and my lips didn't feel dry or crumbly at the end of the day at all. If you eat or drink heavily, the sheen would be gone but they would leave a pretty deep stain on your lips and i actually love that! This is perfect for lazy girls who don't want to keep on reapplying their lippies but still want some color on their lips!

They have a bit of a classic lipstick scent, which i am not a fan of-but the scent is very subtle so i didn't even detect it before holding it very close to my nose. Staying power is very very good, especially if you wear it alone (i always put on lip balm underneath any lippie and that would make this Moodmatcher glossier and more slippery. I would have to reapply after heavy meals because i would have patches of bare skin peeking but i really don't mind it).

The effect that they give you is those lovely, just-ate-lollies-and-it-stains-my-lips kind of thing. Very pretty, and very nice to do Korean ombre lips with.

Moodmatcher in Light Blue

On my lips the light blue turns to a bright pink shade with a hint of purple, very very pretty and fresh!

Look how juicy it makes my lips look!!! I love love love it!

Even though the color payoff is quite sheer, you can build it up quite well. Not to an opaque result ofc, i already stated that you can't do that with Moodmatchers-but you can achieve a very bright shade by building it up!

Moodmatcher in Black

The black one actually turns out to be quite similar with the light blue one but more purple and a lot darker

It's darker and sultrier

Works well with darker, more full makeup too!

All in all - a very very lovely product! I love it so much that i keep on wanting to wear it every day because they are so pretty, comfortable and effortless!

Granted, i wouldn't recommend this if you are the type that always want a full, opaque, polished lip - but i personally think it's a very nice addition to any girl's makeup collection, plus - it's always fun to apply a light blue lipstick in front of people to shock them but then it turns out super normal looking *LOL*.

If you are a fan of lip tints, i would highly, highly recommend trying out Moodmatcher. In comparison to the usual watery lip tints, i find Moodmatcher to be more pigmented, much easier to apply and blend - plus they are not drying at all!

These Moodmatchers that i tried are the original variant (they also have other types like the pearl, split *very very cute!* and they now even have a liquid ones that i am dying to try!), other than light blue and black they also have a lot of other shades to choose from :

Price wise, Moodmatcher is quite affordable at IDR 66.000 each, you can purchase them online directly fom their website or you can also find them in various drugstores - i often saw them at Guardians!

Thank you Moodmatcher for the chance to try out your lovely products, they have found their permanent place in my makeup pouch :D!

You see the slight tint on my lips? Those are the remnants of the light blue Moodmatcher after a heavy meal (and wearing lip balms underneath) ^^!

How to Dress for a Tropical Cruise Trip

fashion

Hey guys!

So i'm just back from yet another trip (i don't normally plan my trips so close to each other, but i actually thought that we weren't going with the South Korean plan so when i saw the promotion for this cruise trip-i've been wanting to try out cruising for the longest time!) and because i have no energy to make a more worthwhile blog post (like a review or travel posts), i decided to write an easy, light blog post (because i HAVE to blog WTH, i don't want the quality and quantity of my blog post to drop crazily!) : a guide on how to dress for a tropical cruise trip hahaha.

I personally always picture myself in a the prettiest, lightest, floaty dresses when i finally go on a cruise (because well... I am vain like that -___-. When i think about a cruise i think about the beautiful spots i can take pictures at and pretty dresses that might seem a bit out of place in the mall!), guess what... I did pack mostly floaty dresses for this trip and i would say that they are totally perfect for a tropical cruise trips (i would dress more warmly on any other country with different climate, ofc) - with a few adjustments.

I don't know how Westerner cruise trips would be, but i was slightly disappointed on how casual most people dresses during this cruise trip *LOL*. I just thought that most people would dress in floaty sundresses (because... isn't that what you wear on cruises??? No?? They are basically a moving, floating 5 starred hotel, you would probably not wear your ratty t-shirts in a 5 starred hotel, won't you? Except when you're in your room because nobody should give a shit on what your wear inside your door) but since there were mostly Singaporean in the cruise (our port of embarkation), they dress like how most of them dress daily in town-in super simple tee and shorts. Most people dressed up on the last day (because we were actually advised to), but there were still quite a lot of people showing up in tee and shorts >.<. As someone who loves fashion, that kinda pains me a bit hahaha.

Anyway, let's go in on how I dress in the 3 days (we had to leave the ship super early in the fourth day so i'm not gonna go into the 4th day's outfit)

This is my ultimate cruising dress, i actually bought it for the sole purpose on wearing in on this cruise trip. Yeppp, i am that type of person ofc

This dress is from N.Y.L.A and i found it in the sale section (it costed me IDR 90k hahaha), it is floaty, airy but maxi-length (winds are super strong at the decks, i don't think short dresses are a good option, unless you don't mind your skirt flapping around your head), and it's off shoulder (i am super conscious about my arms so i will never bare them unless i suddenly drop 20kgs-which i don't see happening because i have no intention to starve myself) : absolutely ticks every list i have for my perfect cruising dress. Plus the shade is the prettiest light blue - cruise, the ocean.. blue... Perfect match, yea??? (yea, i think of it down to the shade coz i am insane liddat).

What's not so good? The material. It's light cotton and it creases like CRAZY, even after being ironed meticulously by my OCD maid (i have a love and hate relationship with this woman), it comes out of my suitcase looking like a kimchi -___-. I had to iron it like a crazy person using our futon (coz we can't find our ironing board in our condo. We don't live there and 2 of the rooms are rented out so we don't really where things are stored) on the floor as the board (it's such a long dress too!) and ofc it's still crumpled coz it's the type of dress which you simply have to steam -___-. But all in all, i felt super pretty and princessy in this dress and i was very happy wearing it the whole day!

Excuse the quality of some of the photos, the first photo was taken using hunny's Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and it's just awesome in daylight, this one is taken using my Oppo with a strong backlight situation so i had to lighten it up with the only app i know how to use : Beauty cam :)))

Seriously love the interior and the stair case (although i am deadly afraid of staircases) coz it's so dreamy and has a strong Titanic vibe

In our super cozy stateroom. I had the BEST night of sleeps during this trip, hunny accuse me to be a baby because i immediately fell asleep once my head touches the pillow due to the gentle (very gentle!) rocking motion made by the sea -and this NEVER happens. I usually find it very very hard to fall asleep

As you can see in the photos, i am wearing my white Adidas sneakers. I'm all about dresses and sneakers so i don't see a problem with that, but if you're super fashionista then you might want to change into some pretty sandals. We walk a LOT whenever we are in Singapore so i normally wear sneakers everyday, i do bring some sandals (which you will see in the next outfit set) but they're nowhere near as comfortable as my sneakers so i didn't bother to switch it up on the first day. I would suggest not to wear high heels because it is a ship after all, once in a while they do sway gently-and it can be very slippery in the deck so i would stick to rubber soled footwear-but ofc, you can wear whatever you want, i am just here to give some friendly advises *LOL*.

I normally wear a brand new bag on every single trip (i wear brand new clothes every single day on my trips too) just because i love wearing new items on photos (don't judge me. I mostly buys cheap/discounted fashion anyway), but i was so busy after getting back from South Korea, and it's suddenly time to go on this trip so i ended up wearing my most beachy (coz cruise fashion should be close to beach fashion, elevated... No?) looking bag - a cute straw bag from Stradivarius (that i brought to our Bali trip back in July) that's roomy enought for my wallet, makeup pouch and even my sunglasses.

I actually bought a cute straw hat that would be such a perfect pair for the bag, but i BLOODY FORGOT TO BRING IT FML. Grrrr. Bring a straw hat, they would look so pretty for your OOTDs and they would shield you from the super strong sun too. Sunglasses is a must too ofc, i could hardly open my eyes whenever we stepped out to the decks!

You should also bring a light jacket/cardigan/throw because the entire ship is air conditioned (quite strongly) and on the first day we watched the ice show, i really kicked myself for forgetting to bring anything that remotely resembles a jacket and i was too cheap to buy a new one in Singapore because i didn't see anything i like with a low price tag -___-.

Bonus tip : Pack matchy matchy outfits with your spouse, it seems to be quite the theme for the passengers too haha

On day 2 (which is the day when we arrived in Penang and docked for a few hours) i wore a kaftan dress.

At Swettenham Pier, Georgetown-Penang, Malaysia

I've always been intrigued by kaftan dresses. I LOVVVE how they look, but falling into the stereotyping trap, i hesitated to wear them because they seem to be worn mostly by a certain ethnics (which is a very stupid worry, but doesn't make it less real) and might not match my very Oriental features. I have two kaftan dresses, one is a more dressier one that i wore ONCE to a Javanese acquintance's wedding and then i never knew when to wear it again. Ofc, i decided that cruise trips should be perfect to wear one and i must say that i was right :p.

I did attract quite a lot of stares (mostly by older, Chinese ladies zzz), but i was insanely comfortable and i felt pretty in it anyway (plus i loveeee how it turns out in photos) so i decided not to let anything or anyone ruin my mood. We always over eat everyday in the cruise (it's not even that i eat THAT much in the cruise, it's just that i usually eat a lot less. Yes, i don't eat all that much and still chubby AF so next time you're thinking of making fun of my chubbiness, shut your pie hole. I don't want to hear it, eff you #violent), floaty dresses and especially kaftans are perfect to hide my tummy (which is normally non-existent but always shows up on trips). I was super bloated and errm, a but constipated to so felt like a whale-but whenever i catch my reflection in the mirror i actually felt cute hahahaha. Must be the power of the kaftan.

We went to the Ghost Museum in Penang and i was hoping that they accept cards, which they didn't... so we had to actually walk to the nearest ATM which is in a mall a few blocks away. I love to walk (but i prefer to walk in autumn/winter *LOL*) when i'm wearing comfy sneakers, but the sneakers would look crazy with the kaftan so i wore my not-so-comfortable Ipanema sandals so my feet were quite angry at me when we reached to mall :)), but the kaftan was so comfortable i had no other complain.

Another drawback is because some of the Asian female ghosts in the museum were wearing a similar dress as mine WTF, but it really is a nice dress that our guide kept in asking me where i got it and how much it costs *LOL*.

You can pair a see through kaftan like me with any plain inner dress that you want, if you wear hijab then you would wear a special inner dress obviously, but if you're not then you can opt for both a long or short inner slip dress. I personally think that a long slip dress would make me look like a tent (and i don't own one anyway) so i always prefer to wear a short slip dress underneath any sheer long dresses.

A chiffon kaftan dress is a perfect outfit for hot climates!

I don't normally like hot pinks on anything, but i don't actually mind this dress for some unknown reasons

I bought this kaftan online, at Tanahabang.com or something like that *LOL*

I enjoyed this kaftan so much i definitely want to wear more kaftans in the future

On the last full day in the sea... I lost all energy. I woke up late (we opted to get breakfast delivered to our room) but even after just stepping out of our room for less than 2 hours i decided to go back to our stateroom for a long nap. I didn't feel like dressing up that day, i actually have another outfit (which is a long white dress that i got from ADA Butik) but since i was so lazy that day i decided to keep the dress for another ocassion where i can get more wear out of it.

So i ended up wearing this pretty white lace top (also from ADA Butik, i actually got it for free from their "get a free dress" opening promotion that we were invited to hahaha) and a floaty maxi skirt that i had forever but never worn because it's one of those outfits that looks nothing like the photo in the Instagram :))), it's supposed to be much lighter pink and like i mentioned earlier-i don't like hot pinks!

If you prefer separates than dresses, then you can always pair easy tops with floaty skirts , loose fitting pants can be an option too. Btw, as much as i love my maxi dresses, i actually struggle to go up and down stairs with them (and i walk up and down a LOT since we prefer to get a little exercise in the ship rather than taking lifts all the time) because i'm super clumsy and not very feminine (people seems to find it hard to differentiate being girly and feminine, i am super girly but i am not feminine at all), i kept on stepping on my own skirt/dress edge >.<. Needless to say i continued almost tripping myself/commit an indecent exposure WTF.

We had dinner and i haven't reapplied my lippie when we took this pic, together with the super yellow lighting-the result made me shocked at how scarily pale i look :)). I immediately put on some lippie so i looked less ghostly in the next photos

Giant Christmas Tree in a cruise ship = awesomeness!

Saw the beautiful tiles at the Promenade (it's a cafe that opens 24/7 in the Mariner of the Seas-the ship we cruised on) so ofc i insisted on taking photos there

I was slightly uncomfortable wearing the tight fitting top because of the bloatedness and constipation :)) (i honestly intended to use the top as an inner), if you are easily bloated and get serious cases of water retentions like i do, i'd suggest packing up a looser fitting tops because you do want to slightly indulge and not be too strict with yourself when you're on a cruise with non stop, 24/7 free flow food!

And those are all the outfits that i wore on my cruise trip along with some tips on what to pack if you too, are planning to go for a cruise trip.

I really REALLY enjoyed my first cruise, a LOT more than i expected. I was a bit worried about sea-sickness, but most of the time the ship was very steady (i could feel a gentle sway when we first took off, and i felt it for probably the first hour or so-then i hardly feel anything except once in a very long while) and i was very, very comfortable. I enjoyed every aspects of it. I plan to blog about it ofc, but you might need to wait until next year for that coz i have so many travel posts i need to clear out :)).

Have you ever been on a cruise trip? If not, are you interested in one in the future?
