It has been very useful for me during that trip, and while there I managed to interest my girl cousins too about this one, they all love using it too ;)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is N'Pure CICA Beat The Sun Powder. I had the chance to use this fully on our last island trip. It was the perfect sunny weather to try this out under the bright sun of the sea. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_8343_fbab_9d9c_d508" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/wg5GMV0lNvhs4QMZQvG34rRewOJ5RsI1PDq4upK-vm7RNZAx_wzcwqLj98ZT5d5pSHE" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>This <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: medium;"><b>N’Pure Cica Beat The Sun Powder</b></span> is a <i>hybrid</i> sunscreen powder that combines both physical AND chemical sunscreen. This is not a regular sunscreen though, this is meant to be used as “touch-up” ONLY. So you need to use another sunscreen as your main one, and then apply this on top for extra protection AND ALSO during the day you can re-apply this one as touch-up to your sunscreen.</div><div><br /></div><div>This sun powder also contains Natural Centella Asiatica Leaf Water which helps to calm your skin.<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Maven Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> </span>Other ingredients include Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, and Vitamin E. </div><div><br /></div><div>After using this product during my sunny island vacation I really appreciate how practical it is. I never forget to put on my sunscreen before leaving out the door but I almost always forget to touch up my sunscreen afterwards. So having this product making me remember to touch up because whenever I open my bag I would see this and then would automatically remember to reapply my sunscreen :)</div></div><br /><font size="4"><img alt="" id="id_1a35_1545_3d6e_2b0c" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/s-fNd_qh30-PAgplMY28MB4XA74l8lslwxDS-R0QE7KFsNgcV_FCjUaWvXRg6D7e_WU" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" />\</font><br /><img alt="" id="id_116c_11c0_7fdb_fc10" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/4zEFEDm1-06yx9d115HveMUTs3NPIQcYKA3bDI7AB26WPgBsIOehLhvx7nK_S6vTtuM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>So far I’m liking this product because of its practicality, and also because it would not ruin my makeup when I do “sunscreen touch ups” during the day. The powder form also helps get rid of my oiliness so it helps my makeup stays matte all day (great for oily skin or combi skin!). It’s also easy to carry around with you in your bag because of the size.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I use this I feel like I’m not adding anything to my face because the powder is transparant / without color, but it does absorbs excess oil on my skin, as well as giving it extra layer of protection from the sun. And because of the transparant color so any body can wear this too without having too worry that it would add the wrong shade to their skin. It is simply a "touch-up" product, but with benefits inside :)</div><div><br /></div><div>And so far I am liking it :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="caret-color: rgb(52, 52, 52); font-family: Lora; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Hugs n' Kisses,</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i></b></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(52, 52, 52); color: #343434; font-family: Lora; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><img id="id_723e_fcf7_e4df_4a1c" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/188/4589B78E2F3F2AD8D4520B99AAF04CDC.png" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; width: 150px;" /></div></div></div><br /><br /></div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637063788753052986.post-79095883801552426642022-09-05T16:22:00.001+07:002022-09-08T17:13:22.281+07:00[ Skincare ] : SCARLETT Acne Facial Wash<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_4573_a0f3_a7fd_9b8c" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/6vWBcibpa0ll7NL58-xHfh_ymtCAufWJWiibehITcsyGg9AmQxAXUISWCdFmSfZdqUY" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 385px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kebetulan minggu lalu aku ada pergi liburan sebentar, <i>birthday getaway</i> ceritanya :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dan kebetulan juga di minggu itu kulit ku yang kombinasi ini kondisinya lagi more oily than dry, sehingga saat itu mulai terlihat ada sedikit break out. Jadi skincare yang kubawa untuk trip saat itu adalah skincare yang lebih untuk oily skin atau acne treatment, supaya break out nya terkontrol dan jerawatnya nggak jadi keluar.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Salah satu produk skincare untuk oily skin yang kubawa adalah si Scarlett Acne Facial Wash ini. Kebetulan aku belum pernah review Scarlett Acne Facial Wash ini di blog jadi sekalian aja ku review ya :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font size="4"><img alt="" id="id_9671_22ba_b07f_b87f" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/9tJA9MOcrAx-EUgeXoEzYLtm6LPVHM6rkBAuU9vQaG5KsE6VWzy3LU-mb7ISeDeHtdM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></font><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: medium;"><b>Scarlett Acne Facial Wash</b></span> ini merupakan bagian dari rangkaian Acne Series nya Scarlett, that's why warna packagingnya ungu - yang merupakan warna rangkaian Acne Series-nya Scarlett. Sebelumnya aku juga udah pernah review rangkaian Scarlett yang Brightening Series yang packagingnya warna pink. Kalian bisa scroll blog ku untuk review Scarlett ku yang lainnya :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Back to this product, khusus untuk kandungan di dalam Scarlett Acne Facial Wash ini diantaranya adalah Seaweed Extract, Vitamin C, Mugwort Hydrosol, Lemon Water, Tea Tree Water, dan Jeju Aloe Vera.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Seaweed extract</i> membantu membersihkan minyak berlebih pada kulit wajah.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Vitamin C</i> untuk membantu meratakan warna kulit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Mugwort Hydrosol</i> membantu menyejukan kulit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Lemon Water</i> membantu menyamarkan noda gelap pada kulit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Tea Tree Water</i> untuk melawan bakteri penyebab jerawat.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dan <i>Jeju Aloe Vera</i> untuk membantu merawat kulit yang berjerawat.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><img alt="" id="id_eb0c_b831_f7c9_24c2" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/5DMuOCTbof6oUcBh5q6Xp4cI-XrkaPXuK5Ihp3jr4bA_LvCao6ekL_GgUp9bHiBbBHU" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_19a9_aaff_5c30_4043" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/2r59G7Mj_DHqbQKaH4nnTYolSway742AJkq7ozQDZKlPRTebQLvj8R4FMEWwoC_mUKM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Manfaat dari pemakaian Acne Facial Wash ini selain fungsi utamanya yang untuk membersihkan kulit dari minyak berlebih dan kotoran di kulit yang dapat menimbulkan jerawat, juga adalah untuk membantu melawan bakteri penyebab jerawat, serta memberikan efek menyejukkan pada kulit yang sedang iritasi ringan.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kalau dipakai memang enak sih ini formulanya di kulit. Formulanya soft dan nggak <i>harsh</i> sama sekali. Busanya nggak terlalu banyak tapi lembut di kulit, dan ada wangi nya yang <i>subtle</i> banget, bikin tenang dan menambah rasa sejuk di kulit. I like this one !</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cara pakainya</b> : tinggal tuang aja di telapak tangan, pijat pada area wajah dengan gerakan melingkar, lalu bilas deh dengan air bersih. Setelah itu kulit akan terasa lebih bersih, lebih lembut, dan lebih halus. Kalau di aku juga nggak ninggalin kesan kering ketarik gitu. Malah terasanya lembab dan bersih aja.</div><br /><img alt="" id="id_4a0d_53ab_f3c1_b03e" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/P17UTKfn2okPR-BeRnjO9qTUpSWqgcxVrcF4S-nsnSL0NnRtpG2i8a1tgLMXBw9GVa4" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><font size="4"><img alt="" id="id_b9b_ba8b_5f07_60fa" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/DUS0efGpTILZ_eBa0UpOx8UTpHDsEucbdB_sfaviZvnSU_h7gb78JanphvF7jhyYNRg" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></font><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Dan bisa dilihat dari tekstur formula nya di botol itu teksturnya agak kental tapi nggak lengket. Bisa dilihat juga kalau di dalamnya ada seperti kelopak-kelopak bunga warna ungu ya. Pas lihat ini pertama kali bikin aku makin penasaran buat nyobain hehe </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oya, produk ini juga sudah teruji bebas merkuri dan <i>Hydroquinone</i> lho, sudah registered by BPOM juga jadi jangan khawatir kalau pakai produk-produk Scarlett.

Kulit kombinasi seperti aku juga bisa pakai face wash ini, malah karena ini formulanya terasa ringan (dan ada wangi nya yang soft banget bikin kalem) maka setiap cuci muka pake ini aku selalu enjoy banget jadinya :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aku udah pakai facial wash ini selama 2 minggu dan selama itu membantu banget di saat kulitku lagi oily. Ini jadi pelengkap rangkaian skincare-ku sehingga jerawat nggak jadi keluar, dan breakout pun dapat teratasi. Yang paling penting ini bisa banget dipake sehari hari tanpa bikin kulit jadi kering, bahkan kalau di luar lagi panas terik pun aku langsung cuci muka pakai ini, langsung sejuk seketika jadinya, kulit langsung terasa bersih dari keringat dan minyak berlebih :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kalau mau beli di tempat terpercaya untuk beli produk Scarlett, bisa melalui link official nya disini ya :</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://linktr.ee/scarlett_whitening"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">https://linktr.ee/scarlett_whitening</span></b></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="caret-color: rgb(52, 52, 52); font-family: Lora; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180;">Hugs n' Kisses,</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i></b></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(52, 52, 52); color: #343434; font-family: Lora; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><img id="id_723e_fcf7_e4df_4a1c" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/188/4589B78E2F3F2AD8D4520B99AAF04CDC.png" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; width: 150px;" /></div></div></div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637063788753052986.post-87815300523816132832022-08-28T22:05:00.000+07:002022-10-07T18:01:55.333+07:00[ Outfit Diary ] : Island Vacation Outfit (Karimun Jawa Edition)<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_f7f0_247f_f258_14b7" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/15QAIh5f4zM3VVm56WbTYxXuLqI1ZEq37d1_-pYbq9dJfGoHwU2AlwMYXyIQYHtMVuM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 385px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So if you follow me on instagram you might have known that I had a short 5 days vacation back in June. It was another island vacation. The last island vacay we took was when we went to Belitong island for our first post-pandemic vacay a year ago (will post the outfit from this trip later on). And last month we went to Karimun Jawa island in Central Java region. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Karimun Jawa is consisted of one bigger island with a few smaller islands surrounding it. If it seems that we always went for island vacation well maybe probably because my big family always love "islands", or maybe because Indonesia have many islands to explore :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Me personally ? Well I do like an island vacay but I have always been a forest/green mountain girl rather than a beach girl, Except if the beach is on an island rather than a city beach hehe..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aaanyway, I thought I post some of the pictures here so that I won't lose the photos (I had experienced losing vacation photos before, so for me to put them in this blog acts like an alternative space to store my photos so if I ever lose my files again I would still have them in this blog.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I would also include some ootd photos in order to still get align with this blog's theme :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So up first would be some beautiful pictures we took from the Karimun Jawa island trip, followed by my vacation outfit photos. We took a train to Semarang (and visited the Lawang Sewu historical building there, which I have wanted to visit to see what it looks like inside. And then from there we took a rented car to go to Jepara (where we stayed overnight) before we crossed the sea by ferry to Karimun Jawa the next day. So you will see some photos from Semarang, our beautiful hotel in Jepara, and photos from Karimun Jawa :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Pacifico; font-size: x-large;">Semarang</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_6376_3bd0_4e55_4cc2" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/fJfeSPRR5dzuIsR4S1ocAZDt9o8DPc8Gvrd_nwDxVYmcO8CK-QHfL_Rx5SQk3nsigL4" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_f3ba_7eac_9da6_8322" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/tO3xewca2Dn21XkK7ckiXPuPneUlNH1HCCC0a9_YfuXbFlr2ZtLhaMt5lIccp02w7B8" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_5aa5_a78c_4feb_330" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Q6UIFm6P2uPqw_NMSxYZeBKlBepdwf_C3DV1jb_nuNpTmw3AdJMlDH1zFe_EGxE30B4" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_55d0_2ce5_89bd_f55f" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Kx4VVqhJxUmcFBpDIRjJDfrLyn51U3vX-imGTZtSg7DjIMR4PvIcRGlB5aIhdPlPb_Y" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_6dbb_151a_63ad_614a" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/TDZPt7KZJehakbHGJmUOi2u9vc0C91rHsDbNVPqEK57Jlo0bW0-scd-URQ16_tiOjfI" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We visited the most famous building in Semarang : the <b>Lawang Sewu</b> (known as the <i>1000 doors building</i>). It's called 1000 doors because it has many doors inside and large tall windows that also looks like doors, hence the local people called it "Lawang Sewu" or the building with 1000 doors 😉</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I visited Semarang a few times but never had the chance to see the inside of this building, so I was happy to be able to see what the inside looks like. It's an old colonial building and the place is actually nicely reserved, so everything is clean and still looks good.

So I needed a new sandals that can be used in and out the water (and must be cheap too so when it broke down I won't cry hihi).

This building has so many histories. I'm so glad they took great care of this building that were rich in history. Love the ambience decor inside the cafe too. We came there for dinner just before me and hubby departed to Jakarta by train. It was located in kota lama Semarang or the old city area in Semarang - which conveniently is located close to the train station. So we took a walk down a beautiful alley to get to-and-fro the cafe and train station.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All the food and drinks were yummy too, and the service is top notch. Even the bathroom area was really nicely decorated too. We had a good time there and would definitely recommend Spiegel if you have plans to go to Semarang. The price is considered a little bit pricey compared to other Semarang culinary but if compared to Jakarta prices it was about the same price as a good medium-priced resto in Jakarta mall such as Nanny's pavillion, and the likes. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_dc5b_b5c6_4261_7f17" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/lrEEVFUsrMDQavqFNGzLiZSfBgKbElrB4UxAe_w2lslIdk_3tSZlHF56RFB7mXo_f8w" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_928a_9c73_8b57_f11c" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Pc6S20O81y1YDkz44ZR4SVtWp_2aaYwRRIyPBhUu9OChIApxmWXar4lcKDp7vPFsBsw" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_e2a6_5e7c_450b_72e1" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iEWcgMP_1kakFl8FGYOc-riMa1HRjxF92rB6RaE9_mAq1eKgOra5dxl_Fef29aC805g" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Cardigan Top : PO Korea</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Legging : Adidas</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Rubber Sandals : Via Shopee</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Houndstooth Mask : KN95 from the brand Wow Beauty</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Pacifico; font-size: x-large;"><b>Jepara</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_d8c9_3880_af6b_460a" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3nTFI0yet_TUHwSp92DNi1FmHHNCyc6n3IW-sLwFLq4VJikuiUtUlS2mlpnHKQx7Cng" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_7446_4769_e942_25c2" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/xOrvhhP0UXyAyFyIequ1R7mxRbmxaIVpnq8St2w9F02W_mX5kAuGAfRXHfUr1kbuo_0" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_de25_f1e3_456f_45e7" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/b3QTiwNTrahkZacdW3Ic7NIHZ3AB84HGIFnQqHMfxi-ybWH55gP2c13OG10ML2RHbv8" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_5172_ea72_7ea4_b575" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Sh3m7trrtMNngCX2bQFIu3Nx2CTMrs_ns5puAXzO_BSgfIZFfvKopgvgrpiCOcEA-Lg" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To be able to cross the straits to Karimun Jawa we chose the route from Jepara. There are ferries every day that would take you to and from Karimun Jawa. We had to spent a night in Jepara because we arrived there late almost midnight, and this is the hotel we stayed in : The Ono Joglo Resort. It's located near the pier for the ferry. It was a very beautiful hotel with the beach right on your hotel's backyard. The beach was rustic and small, it has its own little charm :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The hotel was too pretty and I can't forget the really nice smelling lobby area (and I forgot to ask what kind of fragrance they used in the lobby). The rooms are spacious and the exterior of the garden area is just too beautiful not to take photos of. Too bad we only stayed there for a brief of time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" id="id_42d9_a466_33d9_115" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/xJ17EjnB9nQHGTDoGDqNMYG8NcER39ZKuslwLN5cs6H4HGWgo4I0-KOhy3tBM01K224" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_d451_e802_dbf0_c482" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/uOUYxQbH6M6cXeltwhS37o1jtfixKrt7k3fv0aP45nXKjhdZmmxPi4YwS2ShkSvAOyc" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_cd68_d7f8_5563_9d61" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/d9u3SHGQVH82zEokPCLGr0LO0RF_ju7SlyUAC1moHDT9wJdsAZCqArtbsRtpaF5YYOo" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Top : Livya The Label</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Maxi Dress : H&M</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Sandals : Urban n Co</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Bag : Longchamp Le Pliage (the large one is my go-to travel bag)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Hat : via Shopee</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Pacifico; font-size: x-large;"><b>Karimun Jawa</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_a701_e05c_bf5e_e587" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/hwD2G8srTQRYmN0qGF9l30NoctQUwJXvYUPt9d8PNfs5fn8dsqdUqPvuqNeEUwnC4AM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_7b97_a6a8_e26_f826" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/d7eM5pn3QYaPl-sjLTHV6ncqNXES78mEUeViIpnKgz8XU9vHAvjtkw7IOm16V-gU5ZE" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_ca74_6f76_9621_8e31" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/oAYLFlensxL-iwDnBltcaw3tDLqEZ65Y8SC7sSooqdy5q6IbablCbGxRYut7ir_yRHM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_f08_eacf_5d6_8016" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/yyzkn-PsyGwMZZcSUgHk61gMYK8JP2_5fu8unnS2qc3Gaw2QbUXysGTNn3IFQLf8fbI" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_8813_35b_7de6_6f37" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/NUVT1c9HQA48bMIsEFRoiFrE-hL_QN8O-gojwID_8PvMNgVV6tFZM2_g34qEmJ5DBoU" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_978c_1d8c_cf60_e743" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/x646nCXNiZ548D5TqYFjvX2nSCw2Af7SeaPKYmV2aDqEIV5EVxra7DS6jNlR0adcJyM" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br />Now this is Karimun Jawa, a group of islands near Jepara bay. This was my first time visiting here and because I love islands so of course I really enjoyed my time here. I always prefer beaches on island instead of city beaches. Island beaches has that perfect tropical vibes and the scenery is always breathtaking, the air is so clean and the color of the sea and sky is just mesmerizing. You will never forget an island vacation for sure :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, Karimun Jawa is like other island vacay spots in Indonesia, which means it's very tropical summer vibes, with all the tall coconut trees and soft sands on your feet, clear blue water and beautiful blue horizon. Watersports and island hopping are amongst our favorite past time here. We visited several beaches that are scattered around the main island, this is Bobby Beach, the most beautiful beach in Karimun Jawa.<br /><br /><img alt="" id="id_5436_ed48_a784_8dd6" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/L3dcTh4fpB8D6waGmJqffSCYxDIhdip7HCcgXG4hK57Q4XZi95NGBk6pUMwmN0OJ1y8" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_50ac_acb9_3e4e_1c25" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/oRB-jl_rBoH1alCKz8o3Rzl7Yu39hhxNQ56rqPXZhVtBVr_EkTrvBZOa0gEdeufoPzA" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font size="4"><img alt="" id="id_84e1_2aed_278b_957f" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Xj2LlTkRw2klhjkAr50t1E00gcxwNeJp61-C9qviiaSb3EsHCqQCCahg7oa9KbevyvU" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></font><br /><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Top & Pants : Novere X Mme Huillet</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Long Cardi : via Shopee</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Hat : via Shopee</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Dancing Script;">Sandals : Urban n Co</span><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_79f2_2d22_d572_d8fb" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/xuz-_sHCaDQjOs5a00gjA7RixSTlYE8VnEi7A7NWDipgCvyaBY-ijVfCSAnMIvAUYwY" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_871f_cd3e_9b00_1b91" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/4lMt6jEG4YA6lWCD3OaL-siRVMueVennrc0y4lm4ExQwI9IT_dn0SdI-iO6AkmCgcVY" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_96cb_512c_af67_99b8" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zpPz7z2V8PQGiQgzqH9tngJ7E8YYH7GXUwQi_OoV9cBUvPaFq8UYh27aa3NRaOWUDuk" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><img alt="" id="id_271a_6db1_68a3_a79f" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/M4qwuMxDyKY-IfSG2fnpAEekaWvkrGFZAHG1jiHFlZlq_t8g1M_3mb48oXyEucBZcV8" style="height: auto; margin: 4px; width: 616px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The above was the Sunset Beach in Karimun Jawa.
