LOVE IT!

I am sure some of you have heard about this amazing product called LA MER! I just can't live without it! I am 21 and my skin is combination, so it's oily in t-zone, but dry in cheek area. I have tried tons of products, but no one works well! I even went to the doctor, but the medicine that he gave it to me did not work as well!

One day my friend talked about good things about LA MER! so I decided to try it out!

I bought the cleansing gel and the moisturizing lotion... I used these products for like around 5 months already and I LOVE it! My skin glow and healthier than before. It's expensive but totally WORTH IT! really! It works pretty well on my T zone too! The moisturizer that I pick is not that creamy and rich like the Creme De Lamer one and I think it's the best for my skin.

Two weeks ago I had facial and the esthetician told me that LA MER IS JUST FOR OLD WOMEN AND IT'S NOT TRUE! this product can be for everyone and any ages! Just pick the right one for your skin and you'll see how amazing this product!

I don't know for your skin, but this product work really well for me...you should try it!

PS: I use the gel cleaner and the moisturizer every morning (1 pump moisturizer) and night (1.5 pumps moisturizer) regularly + I also using ORIGINS for my acne treatment at night and it works well.

Also, I use this in Indonesia because the weather is warmer! trust me, it's totally great for combination skin!

21

Thank you, Lord for life and 21! You have changed me become a person that I am today. I am excited to continue my journey with You and I am so ready for it...

I still cant believe that actually I am 21 right now! wow... When I was 16 years old, I was wondering what I would be in 21! I asked my self:

"am I gonna be in college?"

"am I gonna be in state for university or australia?"

"am I gonna have boyfriend at that time?"

"or married with someone? WOAH! no way!"

"am I gonna work?"

and...

"what I am gonna do?"

well...

- yes, I am in college..

- yes I am in state

- no not yet! still looking haha! I am so picky! well it doesnt meant Im looking for the perfect one, Im looking for someone who has same faith, goals and missions as me (hopefully). and yes, I am so picky! I pray so God pick a guy for me because He knows the best! and I pray when God ready, He will send me a great guy and he will come to me first.

- no not yet haha! need to find someone first

- work? emm kinda?

- what I am gonna do? HERE I AM! I am a hard working student, best friends and loving sister and daughter!

I am excited about what happened in my future! but I do believe everything gonna be better and better.

God is a loving Father who wont let His children fall! if His children fall, He will raise them up again.

and I do excited to continue my journey with Him!

He has changed me become a person who can enjoy life, thankful with everything and He changed me into a better person that I am today.

When I was 16,

it was not easy for me to smile..and happy!

but God changed everything! I pray so when I smile, I smile with all my heart.. when I am happy, I bring light to people, when I am sad, there's always someone who bright me again! I am thankful for life! He has sent me great and loving friends that I have never imagined before. friends who I can call "FAMILY IN CHRIST"

Thank you Lord for life and 21! I have a feeling that its gonna be a great year!

I love Indonesia

THE MORE you TALK ABOUT INDONESIA, THE MORE I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

I used to hate my home country before, then I moved to State just because I am getting bored living in Indonesia. Well..traffic jam, hot weather, annoying people, etc...it was not enjoyable AT ALL!

well...wait! it was in the past!

I do not know why but now..I AM IN LOVE WITH INDONESIA! the warm weather, the sunlight, friendly people, crazy traffic jam in Jakarta, the thunderstrom, the view, the beach in Bali, my family, best friends..OH HOW I MISS IT SO MUCH! the culture, the sounds of nature, the songs, the dances, the color, the food, the smell of Batik! how can I forget these things? Don't you know that Indonesia is such a great and the most beautiful and enchanting country ever??! oh and THE MALLS IN JAKARTA? oh come on! they are AWESOME!

well.. I am proud to say that I was born and grew in Indonesia and I AM INDONESIAN!

People that I met in State always talk about Indonesia, about missionaries, about how they love Indonesia so much, and about how beautiful Indonesia is. well...it doesnt meant I love Indonesia just because of them, but the more people around me talk about Indonesia, the more I am in love with it and I really meant it. This is a place where I belong.

I went back to indonesia last summer and it was great! it was the first time where I felt....I even do not know how to say... I felt in love! I came back to my 2nd hometown, Seattle! and I dont know why but theres something missing! Seattle is a great place to live! but Indonesia still always in my heart! I belong to Indonesia...Solo, Jakarta, Bandung and Bali are my favorite places in Indonesia! well Solo is my hometown and I spend more time in Jakarta and I love both cities! those places are my 1st HOME!

I am planning for going back to Indonesia after I graduate.

- will it be easy? (we'll see)

- will I miss Seattle? (of course! and maybe I will visit once year? haha)

- but...if I get bored, will I leave INDONESIA? (NO! Indonesia is my homie and this is the place where I belong...my homie where I was born and grew and my homie where I can spend my time with family, best friends and childhood friends!)

and I am going back to Indonesia for Christmas break and I am so EXCITED! 12 days till going back home! yayy

I miss Indonesia... If I have a choice right now, I just really want to graduate as soon as possible and going back to Indonesia...

I dont like Indonesia anymore, but I AM IN LOVE WITH INDONESIA!

love and like have a huge different meaning...

I like Indonesia

I love Indonesia

you see the differences?

well I love INDONESIA!

I LOVE BEING IN INDONESIA

but wait still 1.5 years...May 2012..remember that! haha.. :) I dont know how I feel after I graduate..woah! I think I'll have this feeling called "MIXED FEELING" you know what I meant by mixed feeling huh? lol.

God loves Indonesia so much! God bless Indonesia and wont let His creation fall. He is the Creator of Heaven and earth! Thank you Jesus to let me enjoy Your creation.

PS:

AKU CINTA INDONESIA
