• Tindakan yang perlu dilakukan agar menyusui lancar

As seen, it's really going to be a full packed event with wonderful information that any family with kids or soon to have kids can relate.

-*-

Arriving at the venue in a similar shades of the event heehee, I'm a happy mom indeed thanks to God and my lovely kids.

When I entered, Ms. Anna has started in sharing the life of a pregnant women and moms in general. How stressful it can become and how we as a family member can help, take part in helping nursing moms too.

She explains how patience, kindness, love, courage, and support may take parts in assuring a mom to be able to nurse their babies and provide exclusive breast milk since everything is related. By having their love and passion on the newborn, a hormone called Oxytocyn can be secreted and help the making of breast milk.

-*-

On the event she also shares about parenting and discipline. Every moms wants to give her best to her kids, including giving breast milk, this also could lead to a stressful mind where she pressurize herself. It is best to let nature takes it course, put tons of happy thoughts and never give up. 

Right after that, my favorite session comes up, Dr. Elizabeth turn where she shares the benefits of breast milk, how it is known as the best nourishment for a human baby, why it is also best for the moms and problems that can happen.

-*-

From assuring the correct position, making sure we're very comfortable (seating, environment, area), stress free or at least minimum stress mind, and how we should be 100% in that moment of breast feeding. Moms should be present with the baby not just physically but in mind and mentally too. She reminds us to tosh our cellphone, remote tv or anything, so we could be with the baby in all senses possible. Sing to the baby, hold her hands, touch and make eye contacts.

She also emphasize in knowing the right information, on how exclusive breast fed means 100% just breast milk with no added formula, water, tea, honey or anything. Medicine during illness and supplement such as vitamins are allowed when it is substantial.

-*-

We also need to understand the baby's behavior, by clenching their fists it means that they are hungry, don't wait until the baby is crying and fed her.

Here are some other facts shared during the event:

Normally, a baby need their milk between 2-3 hours. It is normal for a new born to drink so little since they tummy are still so small. The yellow milk that comes out at first is the one that newborns really need, it contain colostrum. Colostrum help the baby to fight infection and other problems in the future. Breast Milk contain enough protein, nutrition and contain the best ingredients for a smart and healthy baby. It is the best formula that non of milks sell in the market can compare. Moms need to eat balance and quality intake as well to produce best quality milk. There are hind milk and fore milk, they are different and baby should have both of the milk by making sure to fed them one breast at a time.

-*-

Soon, the mc take the stage for Q&A's session, there are so many questions by all the moms and mom to be here. I'm so happy to know that everyone is so keen to exclusively breast fed their babies. Babies should drink breast milk up to 20 years, 6 months exclusively, above 6 months with added food.

-*-

After the talk show and Q&A's session, all the moms looks very happy, I also notices the dads are keen to help their wives in giving their best to their kids. Nowadays, parenting is not just mom and the kids, dads has to remember that it takes two to tango. Children with both mom and dad plays part usually will develop better as a person, a human being in the society and for themselves.

-*-

Soon, the event has to end and we get to have a lunch at HongKong Cafe. The venue and event just went on smoothly, the only glitch is the poor air conditioning at HongKong Cafe, pregnant moms and kids are sweating inside. Still, we get to go home with a bunch of beneficial information thanks to Dr. Elizabeth and Ms. Anna, a Child Psychologist, Transpulmin and Kamillosan for making this event, and of course Mommies Daily too.

-*-

We are all going home with a package of reminders and product from Transpulmin and Kamillosan. A tube of Kamillosan that can be used to help the nipple to heal during nursing period, a diaper rash soother, and an ointment for a sensitive skin in need.

There's an inspirational post card as well as a note book filled with information for moms and moms to be.

Remember that it take efforts to breast fed a baby but it is all worth all of the efforts, and for moms, even if no one supports you, do try your best. Do not listen to those who discourages you, stays positive and let your love to your baby flows.

It may looks simple but inside they put tips, acknowledgements and ideas too, with fun and attractive illustration included.

L'Occitane Pivoine

Hello lovelies,

last week has been a very busy week for me, in a day there could be 2-3 events and I'm pretty much exhausted. So, when L'Occitane invited me for a mini spa at Plaza Indonesia, I immediately say, yes please.

On the venue, everything is decorated with the pink 'pivoine' flowers, Pivoine is actually peony, one of the flowers that smells so good and hard to describe at the same time regarding their shape.

-*-

The full collection is shown during the event, it's all dressed in bright deep pink, a shade that surely feminine, seductive and alive at the same time. I can't help but be so happy to be there that day.

I can try and use their perfume, moisturizer, hand cream, all the way until their new cc cream as well.

-*-

Above is the collection of Pivoine Flora, which is products for body care, from shower gel, beauty milk, edt and hand cream which was swore by many beauty enthusiast to be the best hand cream ever!

-*-

As usual, L'Occitane is never shy on decorating the whole area like we were in France, enjoying the beautiful flower garden at a country side.

-*-

Then I went in and meet these lovely ladies for my mini spa.

-*-




I went here just using my hair roll and no makeup on. Beware, bare face alert!

-*-

The face is cleaned, massaged, serumed, moisturized and pampered in L'Occitane way. Using all products from L'Occitane, the staffs also pays attention on my skin and adding tips on how to enhance the skin condition and which products should I choose next.

-*-

Right after the mini facial, I'm ready for a makeup session from Gusnaldi Professional Team.

After using the skincare from Pivoine Sublime collection, this is the CC Cream moment I've been looking for.

-*-




This is the product.

Details from usa.loccitane.com

This light hydrating cream contains CC pigments and transforms during application to immediately and visibly create perfect-looking skin.
The complexion looks even, fresh and luminous. The skin feels comfortable and protected (SPF 20). Skin is fresh, luminous and unified until the night.

Use the medium shade for an immediate radiant tone.

The L'OCCITANE Laboratory has combined the skin-perfecting peony extract with unifying CC pigments and illuminating pearly particles. This ultimate combination of ingredients helps to immediately and visibly create perfect-looking skin.

-*-



At first, the cream is like a white lotion where after being blended, the shade will turn like our own skin tone, if you're fair, it'll look a bit like tan from the morning sun. If you have medium to dark skin tone, the shade wont be noticeable.

-*-




The one thing that we can all see, is the shine. Like that radiant glow on the skin.

The mild coverage even out the skin tone naturally, like we're using no makeup but appears with better skin condition and complexion.

-*-

Next, is their lip balm. There's the clear one and tinted. Since L'Occitane is about skincare, their tinted lip balm also comes in a sheer finish formula.

-*-

Below is my after look with the appointed makeup artist.

-*-




After taking a picture together, it's time for us to went back our own way and move on to the next schedule.

Thank you so much L'Occitane Indonesia for having me and see you on our next event.

Kiehl's Indonesia Heritage Campaign

Hello everybody!!

Kiehl's Indonesia is having another campaign, this time it will be for Indonesian heritage, which is Borobudur.

Have you been to Borobudur? I remember my first trip there and  I think it was magnificent. Every details are made with care and the grandness of the architecture is worth to be preserved by UNESCO.

Collaborating with 4 celebrities, Kiehl's and UNESCO are going to help preserving Candi Borobudur.

-*-

For every purchase of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, Lip Balm #1, Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate, Midnight Recovery Concentrate and/or Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner you'll get a specially designed notebook by one of the 4 celebrities and Kiehl's will donate Rp.10.000 on your behalf to Candi Borobudur.

Netizen can also participate by a simple click at www.lestarikanwarisanindonesia.com start from the first of June 2015 until 1th of August 2015.

Kiehl's will gather all of our support and travel with Mabua Harley Davidson to UNESCO social institution at Yogyakarta.

-*-

The event is held at Kiehl's new boutique at Central Park Mall, but the campaign can be enjoyed at all Kiehl's stores.

Please do visit any Kiehl's store/boutique near you to see the products and campaign in person.

-*-

On the occasion, I can see all four designs from Ari Wibowo, Keenan Pearce, Prisia Nasution, and Lala Karmela.

Each of them made an illustration for the cover of a notebook. It may look simple but they do put their hearts into their design and hope it can help Kiehl's and UNESCO gather some awareness for us, Indonesian, to pay more attention to our cultural heritage.

Kiehl's itself has started Heritage Campaign so the people who lives in that particular country where Kiehl's lies could be more appreciative to their own heritage and understanding the history behind the heritage itself. This is, of course, be in accordance to UNESCO mission.

-*-

Ari Wibowo wants to emphasize the beauty of Candi Borobudur in the afternoon, where the sun shines in orange yellowish color and there's Javanese batik and the years of Candi Borobudur birth and rebirths.

Keenan Pierce, Unity in Diversity for Nusantara, a silhouette of Candi Borobudur with many other culture from all over Indonesia, showing how in our differences, we can still be one.

Prisia Nasution, writes in Honocoroko, a dying tradition, she wants to preserve them before it's too late, with Candi Borobudur and her Javanese heritage, she emphasize in preserving.

Lala Karmela started her story in reminding us on the dimension and history of Candi Borobudur itself. How it has become one of the seven wonder of the world and how it has gone through a lot over the years. Disasters and even tourists sometime contribute in ruining the artifact. It's time for us to help taking care of Candi Borobudur. With a girl on the cover and the Candi Borobudur, she emphasize on how human can live in harmony with Candi Borobudur.

-*-

It was really crowded that day, customers, medias and bloggers are gathering for this event, I hope we all can assist in making this campaign a huge success.

-*-

There's heritage tours presented during the event, most of them are taken by foreigners, I hope domestic tourist will become more aware and keep our heritage something that we can all benefits from for generations to come.

-*-

Inside the press kit given to us, there's also Galeri Komunitas or Community Gallery, which actually reminds me that when we help preserving Candi Borobudur, we also contribute in their livelihood. A lot of locals depends on tourism as well near Candi Borobudur, please do take a look when you have time to explore.

Usually, we are too preoccupied in going abroad and goo goo ga ga about other countries heritage that we forgot about our own, I guess, Kiehl's has remind us to look what we have here, right in our own land.

-*-

Thank you so much Kiehl's for having me and you for reading this post.
