Image
My summer break has come to an end this year and the school week of my final year started already on Monday. You know, I am SO glad because I know that this is all going to be over soon and I finally do not have to study again, for now. And this, my friend, has become one of my motivations to study even harder! Haha! When I decided to move to Germany, I promised myself that I will do everything to get what I want, to pursue my dreams, and getting this grade for myself is one of them. It really helps me to study even better because it calms me down as I told this to myself. I am conscious the fact that everything is gonna be okay and I just have to do what I gotta do at the moment.

The Best Summer Skincare Tips

If you are anything like me, you probably look forward to summer all year long. But first things first, skincare! With the summer fun activities, it's so easy to get distracted and get lack of skin care. With higher levels of humidity return for these past months, it's important to  keep your skin properly hydrated since it still requires a balanced routine.  Summer temperatures have shifted toward more extreme heat this year,  and don’t forget about those powerful UV rays!  Here are my best summer skincare tips I want to share to you all so you are prepared for the rest of the summer! Cleanse twice a day!

I cannot remember the last time I had to deal with such a weather. I've lived in one of the tropical countries Indonesia for years, yet I have never got to survive in the extreme temperatures like this. My parents' home there has three air conditioners, where in Germany almost no one has even one. The fact that there are only  heaters in every household due to the cooler climate is  really difficult to deal with at first and to be honest I was not prepared at all. Haha! (but It's better though because the winter over here can be brutal sometimes). The last three days were so challenging to me due to heat wave, so I decided to do something a.k.a research the best ways how to cope in very hot weather. I want to share some tricks you can try at home and I hope they can be helpful for at least some of you!   Take a shower with lukewarm water before going to bed. It is no secret that a shower before bed helps you to fall asleep. But you definitely do not want to take a hot sho...
