Sugarpot Wax Review

Sudah beberapa waktu yang lalu sejak saya pertama kali menggunakan produk sugaring, tanpa merk, dengan harga kurang lebih 60 ribu rupiah. Saya cukup puas dengan produk ini.
Setelah botol wax itu kosong, saya mencari-cari produk sugar wax lain. Ketemulah dengan sebuah produk yang digadang-gadang sebagai yang termurah.
Apa daya, ternyata harga bicara. Produk ini memang paling murah (hanya 25 ribu!), sekaligus paling mengecewakan. Saya harus mengaplikasikan produk beberapa kali baru bisa tercabut semua, itu pun meninggalkan jejak ingrown hair, dan paling parah terakhir, seluruh bagian kaki bawah saya gatal-gatal, hingga 2 minggu lebih. Tentu saja, produk itu langsung berakhir di tempat sampah.

Tadinya agak ragu waktu akan membeli Sugarpot Wax, karena takut hasilnya sama saja, dan cukup trauma dengan efek gatal yang berujung pada bekas garukan yang jelek banget di kaki >:(
Tetapi karena tidak kepingin mencukur lagi, saya nekad melakukan pembelian. Ketika barang datang, saya cukup terkesan dengan kemasannya yang rapi dan cukup mewah. Kainnya tampak lebih tipis daripada produk pertama, tapi terlihat berkualitas. Kayu pengolesnya pun terlihat elegan.
Namun, produk tersebut terpaksa bertengger saja di dalam lemari selama beberapa hari. Kaki saya tiba-tiba gatal lagi, walaupun tidak separah sebelumnya, mungkin karena saya iseng scrub. Lalu saya terpikir untuk mencobanya di satu bagian dulu. Jika kaki saya tambah gatal, saya akan stop pemakaian, dan tunggu sampai benar-benar pulih.
Namun apa daya, pada percobaan pertama, saya langsung terpukau dengan Sugarpot. Wax-nya terasa lembut di kaki (yang dulu-dulu biasanya langsung terasa mencabut-cabut waktu sedang dioleskan), kainnya pun terlihat berkualitas, dan yang paling berkesan adalah ketika saya mencabutnya. Hanya dengan rasa sakit yang sangat minimal, bulu-bulu tercabut dengan mudahnya, dan hebatnya, tanpa jejak bintik-bintik merah yang terpampang nyata (seperti pada dua produk sebelumnya). Saking terkesannya, tanpa pikir panjang, saya langsung mengaplikasikannya pada dua kaki saya. Saya sudah membekali diri pula dengan soothing mist-nya, jadi sehabis wax, saya semprot ke kaki.
Menakjubkan, sampai sekarang (2 hari setelah wax), kaki saya tidak terasa gatal, bintik merah tidak terlihat, kulit pun terasa halusssss banget. Biasanya, begitu selesai wax, kulit suka terasa kasar seperti kulit katak :D
They’ve done a really great job! I am truly touched by the commitment they poured into this product, and may the quality never be compromised. Thank you so much, Sugarpot Wax!

I may not have their affection.
I may not be able to dine in fancy places, go to foreign cities anytime I wish or buy branded stuff no matter how much I desire.
I may not be able to complete the series of my favourite brands.
I may not be able to buy expensive, cutting-edge toys for my son.
I may not try to celebrate my son's birthday in a famous restaurant and invite the whole clan.
My husband may not try to buy me glittering jewelleries for me to publish for the world to see.
I may not be the favourite one in the clan.
I may not be the supple mom, blending in everywhere I turn.

But.

I'm grateful, that my son can't stay away from me for long.
I'm grateful, that my son demands me to feed him, to sleep beside him.
I'm grateful, that my son needs me.
I'm grateful, that my husband is a clear man.
I'm grateful, that I can be myself.

let it go


I really need to stop the stalking. It won't help.
Why do I keep viewing her as a competitor? Maybe she doesn't even think I exist, unless there are few times we ought to gather as a circle.
Please, please, mind your own business!!! Let her be with all her foolishness. Maybe she doesn't see those as a foolishness. Let her be with her own pride. Whatever forms they are in. Be it her magnificent love for and from her hubby and darling son, be it her newest outfit or shoes or bags or ever so faithful loving friends, or her latest finding of great and expensive food. Be it!!!
Let her be with her own world.
You think she doesn't deserve them all, due to what she had done, especially what she had done to you in the past? It's none of your business.
Go on with your life. It is more important than stalking her to find her slightest laughable actions and share them with your pals.
Your life is more important that all of that. Don't live in the past. Don't observe, don't compare.
Just live your life as God has set it to be.
Be free.

a decade of a broken heart

I don't know why it's getting stronger recently.

Every night, you come crawling into my mind.  Flipping open the memory, torturing me with the warm feeling I once had every time we were talking. Yet, every conversation, every sweet gestures of yours would be swept away once I recalled this sentence:

"No, there's nothing going on between us."

as blessed as

Maybe I'm just being jealous.

Jealous that she seems to enjoy her life so much, that she looks so lucky.

Having a husband who loves her so much. Wait... mine too!

Having a healthy-looking and happy baby. Wait again... mine is too!!

Having tons of money to enjoy great gourmet, buy branded stuff, going to cities and countries....

Okay, this one, I might not have as much as she does.

But I'm not in want! I still can buy stuff that I like (psst, I've been buying things for weeks, not really happy about it anyway, since I found 'retail therapy' is in the list of 22-habits-of-unhappy-people), I still can travel, though not luxuriously.

Says who I'm less than her?

I just don't spread it to the whole world.

I'm as blessed as she is :)

- and this revelation just came during me writing this! Writing is a great-working therapy! :)

been too long!

Hari ini iseng-iseng kirim CV untuk apply jadi penerjemah freelance di sebuah penerbit.

Udah attach CV, giliran mau cuap-cuap, eh, jadi mati gaya.

Tulis ini, apus. Ketik itu, delete. Kayaknya semua serba salah, dan gw malah jadi gak pede dengan kemampuan bahasa Inggris DAN Indonesia gw!

O.o"
