REFRESHING PINK LEMONADE DRINK

I reallyyy loved refreshing cool flavoured drink, since its only between summer and rainy season here in Jakarta. A glass of cool drink can really boost my mood. But, i want it to be delicious and more healthy too. I love lemonade and make it daily, but it started to get boring since i only add lemon and pure honey. I found a simple recipe from here and make my own version out of it. 

I replace the raspberry with strawberry. I made it with less sugar too and i pour lychee syrup and jelly inside of it. If you want to make your own version, you can give me your own recipe version and leave it in comment box below.

Ingredients :
2 strawberries
1 lemon juice 
50gr white sugar
Lychee syrup
Colourful Jelly


Squeeze the lemon 

Cut the strawberry into chunks
Pour the white sugar depends on the level of sweetness you like
Pour the water and boils until the strawberry become smoother
Strain the strawberries
You can add the lychee syrup. it give more fragrant and a bit of flavour into it
Mixed it with your favourite flavour jelly
Refrigerated for one or two hours or give it an ice

And now it's done..!

I like this recipe, its so quick and easy. So, nice for your family at home or your guests. You should give it a try :)

BEAUTY KITCHEN: HONEY OLIVE MASK

I saw a really simple DIY face mask tutorial in michelle phan's video yesterday and i give it a try.. Because its really simple, fast (only take about 1 minute), and you always can find olive oil and honey in your kitchen. 

This week, i want to do a basic ingredients mask for my skin. Because its natural and free of chemicals. Plus its save your money too..Then, lets give it a try..



 Mixed 1 tbs of olive oil and 2 tbs of honey..Mixed it well..Im surprised, the mixture became a bit chewy




Then, put up the mixture in the microwave until it became warm and put it in your face with your finger or brush. You can use the mask for a couple of time. .


Result : 
I like it because its really easy to make. I felt it hydrating for my skin. But i can tell its not my favourite mask. Because i have an oily skin and i like my mask to brighten up my skin everytime i take it off and i dont think it can do that. But, for all of you who had a dry skin, it supposed to work well.
