Traveling to Japan for several times are not enough for me - at least for now. The reason is simply because one of my bucket list hasn't been ticked off yet . It is to do an island hopping to Hokkaido. I've heard much about this popular laid-back island exposure on tv/ youtube, mentioned several times in mangas and many more .But, I didn't have the guts because my mind has been filled with question marks, such as : "is it really easy and worth it to explore" ? "how much budget should I prepare?", "what are the best time visit during each season?" ,etc etc..

But that was before I found this book :

Super Cheap Japan is an ultimate guide or If i should say your personal travel guide to help you knowing about travelling around Japan inside out best in budget especially for a first timer.  The book is also very informative to get know more Japan's most favorite tourist destinations  like Tokyo , Osaka , Nara ,Kyoto , Hiroshima and other surrounding areas you won't missed in details. Let's say , Tokyo is not merely about Shibuya for shopping ,yet there's so much more hidden gems/ anti mainstream area worth visit like Shimokitazawa/Koenji that I , myself truly recommend.

As the name,the book provides the littlest details like where you can enjoy popular meal's around certain area with just few dollars,how to do a tax free shopping,cheap supermarkets nearby,cheap and trusted accommodation to stay, best time to visit seasonal attractions with low cost.It is also contain Basic Japanese essential phrases for daily conversation that will be useful when you are asking for direction, bargaining, introduce yourself to local,etc.

The book is also easy to read and understandable with simple language and clear pictures and even area map.I'm glad there's a book like this that concern about budget, so that there's no more stereotype saying that travelling is not always waste of money but more about of self discovery and love for the world and others as well.

Seperti biasa, waktunya sociolla box unboxing of the month. Bulan Agustus ini isinya mostly skincare dan beberapa brand di dalamnya sudah pasti cukup sering kalian dengar. Jujur saja untuk beberapa produk aku belum cobain dan belum bisa kasih impression karena beberapa alasan tertentu dan lebih lagi, box ini pun datengnya baru beberapa hari yang lalu .Well, gimanapun juga kau harap post ini membantu buat dapat pencerahan soal kesan ku mengenai sociolla box, kalau kalian tertarik buat tahu lebih lanjut atau berlangganan , bisa langsung cek web SOCIOLLA ya !

( Also Read : SOCIOLLABOX MARCH , APRIL , MAY  , JUNE , JULY )

Bio Essence ini, pertama kali tahu produknya yang v-shape liner dan aku cocok -cocok saja pakainya dan ngga break out  . Produk ini belum aku coba tapi di descriptionnya dijanjikan kalau exfoliating gel yang mengandung royal jelly ini biasa mengontrol produksi minyak berlebih di wajah sehingga kulit lebih mulus.

Moisturizer bertesktur krim ini mengandung bahan alami anti inflamasi seperti aloe vera yang membantu mencerahkan tone kulit, salicornia, almond dan orange flower yang menutrisi dan menenangkan kulit akibat iritasi karena non comedogenic dan tak mengandung paraben. Sewaktu kucoba, yang pertama kali paling bikin notice adalah baunya, yap . rasanya bau medical banget ! dan konsistensi tekstur krimnya agak terlalu padat sehingga lengket tapi kulit langsung berasa lembab dan kenyal.Menurutku produk ini terbilang cukup oke dan bisa saja lebih baik kalau mau meng- improve desain packaging nya, bau / scent yang kuat dan tentunya, harganya lol.

Rangkaian sample set skincare dari Sarange Whitening Phyto Series : Toner, Essence, Emulsion, Krim Pelembab dan Serum Mata. Sebenarnya aku tertarik untuk mecoba produk ini tapiii.. aku berusaha tidak mencoba produk yang mengandung semua jenis whitening. Ini sih berdasarkan preferensi penggunaan ku sendiri ya. Tapi,dari yang tertera tertulis kalau produk ini bisa mencerahkan , memutihkan kulit secara natural dengan pemakaian teratur  

Ini pertama kalinya aku dengar brand satu ini yang ternyata made in Turkey. Satu hal yang patut di highlight adalah jarang-jarang ada hand and body cream non paraben dan hal ini membuat buyer sepertiku yang selektif akan ingedients merasar tertarik.Produk ini kaya nutrisi dan mengandung vitamin A, E dan K untuk menjaga keremajaan kulit dan mentralisir radikal bebas pemicu kekeringan dan penuaan dini. Sewaktu diaplikasikan , krim nya gampang meresap ke tubuh dan tidak lengket,baunya harum seperti olive oil. Such a nice one! 

At the end, meskipun isi nya kebanyakan sample set, it's such a pleasure for me to receive this august box , thanks again, Sociolla , I hope next month box will be more about make up, ya 😁

Shopping and Online browsing are my favorites things to do,same just like any other millennials.And when these two combined as one ; online shopping, we tend to compare each online store to get best-est deals. It's so normal..who doesn't love to get great item with low prices, right? There's this one amazing site that I particularly like lately when it comes about cheap online shopping that i'd like you to know .. It's TOSAVE.COM

Tosave.Com is basically all in one stop to get wide range of products from fashion, jewelry,shoes,bags,phone accessories, electronics till pet supplies in such best price. I'm glad to know that the site already has currency,language and shipping country converter so that it makes the shopping procedure easier. I choosed 5 items in total and used China Post as the carrier service. It took around a month till I received the package in front of my doorstep and honestly I really like the fact that my items are precisely the same as like the website from quality , details ,colors and so on.Here's more about my ToSave haul :

Fourth item,10 pairs of  Super Nature Taiwan Lashes , USD $1,33 . I ever tried this type of taiwan brand lashes lashes and pretty like it. The result is natural and the quality is as good as any Japanese drugstore lashes!

And last,a cute Warm Coat with Hoodie , USD $ 7,82. It's so fit for my smooth coat chihuahua to keep itself warm especially at night . The coat can pull 2 different -style looks.Which is inner and outer can be wear reversely.My chi look stylish with its new jacket,lol.

It's end of JULY already, and It was a month full of things to do after long summer holiday. Getting back to work after a vacation is not easy, I feel like I need another day off even after weekend lol.At least, this monthly beauty box surprise from Sociolla,enlighten my busy days.So what's inside SociollaBox July 2017 edition ? Let's check it out !

This is the best-est Item that i got from SociollaBox so far ! Menard is always be one of my favorite Japanese skincare brand as their product never disappoint me at once.The ingredients are made from Sellenicereus flower extract that has moisture and retaining power, giving smooth and moist texture to skin which is tend to exposed to dryness and UV rays. Menard Tuskika cleansing cream is a type of first step cleanser to clear make up at once with its delicate cream onto skin and also prevents skin torubles.After using for some days, I feel that my skin is much less easily irritated and soft.

2. AVENE CLEANANCE EXPERT

4.WARDAH HYDROGLOSS LIPSTICK 

Lipbalm with glossy texture, so it's mostly like a lip gloss with sheer finish.Enriched with vitamin E and jojoba oil, this product help maintain lip not just looking good but soften its texture.Well, as a lip balm , it's actually a quite good product especially for those with budget but as I'm not a fan of glossy kind and sheer lipstick, I can't say much about this product, at least for now.

At last, Thank You Sociolla for July Beauty Box, My Best pick among all for sociollabox July 2017 ? Menard Tsukika Cleansing Cream
