Time Travel Back to 90s: Batavia Barber Shop

G needed a haircut and I was curious about the vintage barbershop that was featured in Honeycombers...so we decided to check it out right after brunch today.

So full of nostalgia!

It's as if we've time-travelled.

Before the haircut. Remember these chairs?

The haircut, including the barber's very conscientious effort and a finishing shoulder massage, costs only 50,000 IDR ($5usd~). We gave the barber quite a huge tip as we kinda felt bad that it costed so little for almost 40mins of his effort.

We wouldn't say that it was a fabulous haircut(no it didn't make G look any closer to Ryan Gosling) but it will be good enough for a male who just wants a basic and neat haircut. And of course it is worth a visit for just the fun and nostalgia factor.

There's also lots to eat around there, with a Japanese Grocery Store- Cosmo nearby where you can get fresh Sashimi and other Japanese stuff.

Facial Treatment at Miracle Aesthetic Clinic (Kemang, Jakarta)

I am sure those who frequent Kemang will not fail to see the big white building with a huge signage- Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. For those who follow my blog, you will know that I am always on a lookout for a nice spa or beauty/facial places. Just as I was about to check out the clinic, Miracle Aesthetic Clinic dropped me a note to try out their treatments; great timing isn't it? :) Many of us will probably be very skeptical about trying aesthetic treatments in Jakarta or anywhere in Indonesia, after all Jakarta is not famous like Bangkok for beauty treatments. So on the Saturday before I left Jakarta for our holiday, I dragged Hubby G with me to check out Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. They offered a consultation before trying any treatments including facial. I met one of the aesthetic doctors and she took me through the list of available treatments the clinic offers- Botox, Fillers, IPL, Facial, etc. As usual, the cynical me checked with the doctor if the products are legitimate and...

Hot Yoga In Jakarta

So I haven't done yoga since I got pregnant...which makes that about 2 years since I've exercised at all? I went back to work right after 4 months of maternity leave (that's Singapore for you; why would anyone be surprised with the low birth rate), and maybe it's all excuses but I was either too exhausted to go work out after work or I just wanted to spend time with Alex. Anyway...since Jakarta is an embarkment of a new beginning (especially me not needing to work for the time being!), I decided that I should start a routine of good habits! So my very first destination, alone in Jakarta is... the yoga studio called Yoga@42 which I was extremely delighted to find. They have two branches, one in Senayan and the other one in Kemang. I went to the Senayan branch which is very near to Senayan Plaza and FX mall. Plaza Arcadia Senayan (Don't confuse it with Plaza Senayan right across the street!) On the left once you climb the steps to the second floor. ...

Lazy Beauty: DIY(Do-It-Yourself) Facial

For those who know me, I am a very lazy beauty; I love taking shortcuts for my beauty routines. For those who are similar, I am going to share how you could do a quick beauty fix/fast facial in the comforts of your own home. This suits most skin types as it is basically cleansing and hydrating. Just FYI, I have dry-sensitive skin. Unless you have very bad acne skin, you may want to consult your skin therapist before trying this at home. You will need (the least): 1. Facial scrub/exfoliator 2. Mud/clay mask 3. Hydrating mask Additional (Good to have): 1. Oxygen mask 2. A blackhead remover tool/ cream 3. Nice soothing background music ;) This is what I use at the moment(from left to right): 1.Facial scrub by Soap&Glory 2.Mud mask by Formula 10.0.6 3.Blackhead Melting Gel by Laneige 4. Bubble mask 5. Rose Mask by Fresh Step 1: Exfoliate your face with the facial scrub you have Step 2: After rinse off, use the blackhead remover tool to remove your blackheads if yo...
