♥ Happy Anniversary ♥

hiii all i am back again.
sorry for the lack of the post, i have been really busy. xD


so yesterday was my anniversary with my BF. heheee. i am so very happy!.
it's actually our 4 years anniversary but i count it as our first anniversary.


well, the first year we dated, we were in highschool in China, we both have totally forgotten when was the exact date we got together. so we never celebrated it.
the next 2 years, i had to moved to Indonesia & we suffered with the long distance relationship.
on the 3rd year, i finally moved to malaysia to study & to be together with him again.
we made a pact that we would meet again in malaysia since malaysia it's the closest country from Indonesia & Thailand where he came from.
on this 3rd year, he officially asked me again to be his GF although we never really did broke up.
i said YES.
it was on the 31st July 2008.
now we have the exact date to celebrate it. hahaa.


the sad part is that he was away on our anniversary.
he was in Thailand doing his off-college days.
1 minute after midnight to 31st July, we were on the phone & just talked.
i thought it was just as far as how it goes. but it wasn't. hehee.


on 21.50, somebody was at my door.
it was a delivery guy, he delivered me a BIG bucket of pink roses (my fav color) along with a teddy bear, chocolates, & glitters love shaped.
the letter says ..


"To: Risya Ayu Destyana

Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.
Happy Anniversary.

Sincerely, Stinkyfeet."


baldie is my nickname from him because i used to have a hair-fall problems so he used to mocked me that i would be bald someday. hahaa.
stinkyfeet is his nickname from him because he has a stinky feet. hahahahaa.

Celebrity Hairstyles Hair Color

Celebrity hairstyles have influenced us for thousands of years. Ever since Cleopatra first coined the idea that she could use her hairstyle to enhance her power and fame, women all over the world have mimicked the hairstyles and hair care rituals of the rich and famous in order to try and harness a little of that glory for themselves.

Here is an outline of how to use some of the best quality salon hair care products on the market to replicate and maintain the most popular celebrity hairstyles of recent times: 'The Farrah', 'The Rachel' and 'The Pob'.

The Farrah

Farrah Fawcett's flip was the predecessor of 'The Rachel' of the 1990s, spawning a zillion copycat hairstyles back in the 1970s. Both styles achieved enormous worldwide popularity, though the styles themselves couldn't be more different. Many celebrities have put a modern spin on the Farrah flip, creating backwards-facing curls which are softer than the Charlie's Angels star's original, for a more chic and subdued look.

The initial hairstyle needs to be created in a salon for the best effect; here are some tips for hair care options to maintain The Farrah. Apply a texturizing lotion to wet hair for texture and volume and blow dry the hair upside down from side to side. Use a paddle brush to increase volume and smooth the hair.

Long Hairstyles and Hair Care

Long Hairstyles and Hair Care 2010 Edition

Practicing the right hair care is very important! If you have longer hair, you may have to take some extra time and care. If you have a longer hairstyle, here are a few things that you should think about when caring for your hair. The more that you know about hair care, the healthier your hair is going to be!
Washing your hair on a regular basis is vital. Most people, who have long hair, tend to wash it every day or every other day. This all depends on the type of hair that you have. Those who have thick, long hair do not need to wash on a daily basis. If your hair catches a lot of grease and grime, then wash everyday. There is also a wide variety of products that you can look into purchasing as well. Certain products will help lock moisture in your hair. Others will simply add some extra shine to your hair. Make sure that you do not use too many products at once. This could essentially make your hair greasier than it was. If you have any questions about hair care, talk to your stylist. They will give you pointers on how often to trim your hair. Trimming on a regular basis will prevent split ends and damage. Get started right now with the perfect hair care regimen. The more you know about your hair and hair care, the healthier your hair is actually going to be!

Blueberry Corn Muffins

Summery blueberry corn muffins

August is fast approaching. I am trying not to think about it. I am baking blueberry corn muffins. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. Or so I'm told. I am constructing my best defense to put off thinking about hauling our California-loving selves back to the stoic hills of Ojo Caliente, 913 miles away from my sons, 915 miles from the ocean.

Anyone out there want to buy a charming casita with mesa sunset views? Two kiva fireplaces. Saltillo tile floors. Vigas. All the rustic Southwest vibe you could ask for. Price reduced (thrice).

To less than what we paid for it.

Properly Maintaining Your Dreadlocks

Properly Maintaining Your Dreadlocks

Dreadlocks have always been a very popular trend among this generation. Once you finally get to the point to where you have a decent set of dreadlocks, you need to think about maintenance. There are many things that you need to know about taking care of your new dreadlocks.
You need to ensure that you do wash your dreadlocks. Do not wash your dreads more than once a week. Try to find a certain shampoo that will not leave any nasty residue behind. This can cause your dreads to come apart or come loose.
If your dreadlocks are fresh, you need to use rubber bands for the tips. Do this when you are shampooing your hair each week. After you have been maintaining for a few weeks, you can then move on to nylon to tie your dreads. These methods will keep your dreads from coming apart when you are washing your hair.
Keeping your dreads dry is also very important. If you do not dry your dreads completely, you can start to develop mold. To dry them properly, squeeze or shake them out. You might want to use a hair dryer, just to be on the safe side.
Ensure that each dread is tightened. If you notice one beginning to get loose, simply tighten it back up by rolling. You can even apply dreadlock wax to keep everything in place! Once you get the hang of all of this, taking care of your dreadlocks is not going to be a difficult proceses!

Vegetarian Puttanesca for Two

Easy pasta putanesca- gluten-free with rice spaghetti.

Oh, you paint, too? is the faint, flat interest we get, we artist's wives who paint. Inevitably followed by, Isn't that difficult? In fact, I assure them, it couldn't be easier. (Try being married to a real estate agent who sprays Sun-In in his hair, I want to say, but don't.)

The scene is my husband's art opening and I play my role with decorum, clutching my plastic cup of Australian Chardonnay.

Do you compete? Darling, this question says a lot more about you than than me. No, I always answer, trying not to audibly sigh. We mutually admire. Then comes the big one. The favorite question.

Does he influence your work? (The subtext being, of course, he is the man, after all.)

I influence his, I answer, slugging down the last warm drop of wine. They will smile their awkward smile at this and wobble toward the grapes and brie. The word tedious comes to mind.

I catch my husband looking at me through the peanut nibbling crowd. He raises an ironic eyebrow. I laugh. A sparkled perfumed woman leans in to him for a kiss on the cheek. He is polite. I will tell him later he smells like Bloomingdale’s.

At home he will make me an ice cold vodka martini. We will kick off our shoes and eat spaghetti to Chet Baker. So what's on your agenda for tomorrow? he will ask. Maybe painting, I will say with a yawn. Or blogging. I'm not just an Artist's Wife, you know. 

Nope, he always says. You're the cutest girl ever.

Yeah, I remind him, You're lucky I'm a new-school feminist.

Paris Hilton with Layered Bob Hairstyle

Paris Hilton's asymmetrical layered bob haircut is a interesting look. The layered bob hiarcut can be a very versatile look. Maybe that's why so many big-name celebrities have been sporting cute layered bobs: you can achieve lots of different looks with simple styling. You can pretty much play around with this one and do your own thing.

Short Bob Hairstyle

all the most popular stars of television, film and fashion representing all kinds of celebrity styles for hair: easy formal hairstyles, medium hairstyles, short cuts, styles for blonde, brunette and red hair color; curly hair, wavy hair, and straight hair; casual hair cuts, romantic hairstyles, prom hairstyles, and updos.

Bob Hair Cut

The Bob hair cut is one of those classics hairstyles that seem to never go out of trend. No matter what the current fashion goes, it is always there.

1. The most conservative of the Bob, the sleek one-length cut is always in style. This sophisticated cut can be trimmed to a length that is attractive to almost any face shape. The first style pictured is gently fringed at the bottom so that it is very soft around the perimeter. It is worn without bangs so that the front adds a lot of drama to the style. Style this cut by applying a light volumizing gel or mousse to damp hair and then blowing it dry with a large round brush. If your hair needs more encouragement to bend, use a large diameter curling iron, (about one and one-half inches) to curve the ends under.
   
2. A flirty variation is the flippy Bob, layered in the bottom two inches and worn with texturized bangs. The secret to this cut is to take out enough of the bulk at the bottom to allow it to flip out but leave enough so that it doesn’t lose its signature line. This style is also very attractive when allowed to slightly curve under close to the neck. Style this cut as you would the one-length bob except using your large curling iron to turn the ends out slightly.
   
3. More layering will release your natural curl to form this curly Bob. To style this look, generously apply a curl encouraging gel or mousse. Dry it using a diffuser or just naturally while you scrunch it. Be careful to keep the curls big and chunky. Too much combing or manipulation will separate the curls and cause a frizzy appearance. You can use a curling iron to direct some of the curls toward your face.

Woman Sort hairstyle

baby doll shirts and dresses are very popular right now does not mean you have to rush out and buy one. Although they do flatter some people they do not flatter others. This is just to point out that yes, fashion is always changing but in order to flatter your own assets not every new fashion is a must have for everyone.
