Time to Look People in The Eye

In this faltering situation, it can be exceedingly difficult to see the bright side. Many activities are restrained, our culture too is slowly changing. Starting from how we greet each other to how we communicate and socialize, yet as the wise saying goes ‘the most intellect, are those who adapt’, we too should adapt to what life has to offer.Heard the term 'Let’s do Zoom!' or 'I’ll meet you on Google Meets' or just 'Up for WhatsApp call?' These seems to be the most common thing for us to do of late. All activities are carried out online; Working, Dating, Reunion, Family ‘Visits’, School, even the most important celebrations of life such as Weddings and Birthdays.Looking your best at these times is essential. Not only will the impression of you be memorable, but it shows that you are putting the effort and appreciate the chance to meet them virtually. We want to always look fresh, presentable and be the best version of ourselves. Putting makeup is going to make you look on point, yet if you are looking for a more practical solution, soft lenses will be your best friend.It is simple, easy, and practical. You will look much fresher and more memorable in your various online events. Surely you will be able to feel more connection when eyes meet. It is time to cherish the connectivity that we still have with the people we love in this time filled with barriers, by really looking into their eyes.

Too Cool for Marriage, Really?

(Cosy 3 con grey)Before we get into a story that showcases a bond of two beloved souls. We have a quick question for you, dear readers. What is marriage to you? Because for these love birds, marriage is not only about having someone on the side of your bed every day, it is not only about finding comfort, but it is about effort, it is about connection, and accepting things when it gets ugly. As cliche as it might sound, we guess the term ‘you know when you just know’ fits them well. For Patricia Stephanie and Titov Londa it did not have to be long to know that they actually belong with each other. After 8 months of labeling it official as ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’, Titov decided to ask this special girl to prepare themselves for the next step of the relationship. (Posh 2T Grey)“You know, at first many of my followers do not even know that I am already married. Back in the days, when my Instagram is still very personal, of course, I often share personal stuff. But lately, not so often anymore. That is why people are quite shocked to find out that I am married. They said I’m ‘too cool for marriage’, am I really?” explained Patricia continued with a playful laugh. These two basically have so many things in common, they share the same taste in style, and of course...in life. They are both very humble, that character is showcased on their wedding concept that is filled with neutral and monochrome colors. “After 8 months of being in a relationship, he gave me a ring. I was so confused, it was when we had a holiday in Bali. Little did I know, he already planned to see the wedding venue. Turned out, he already talked to my mother too that he is planning to propose to me,” said Patricia. “I just wanted to surprise her,” Titov added. As their fairytale story continues, they now have little furballs called Mochi & Hamlet. They shared a bit about their love for their ‘children’.“They are so adorable! At first, it was so hard to teach them stuff. Titov is more of an understanding type, I am more of a strict one. So I basically taught them. But now, they are not hard to manage anymore. They can pee in their litter!” explained Patricia.To test their compatibility, we asked rapid questions that must be answered by each other, Patricia will answer Titov’s, and vice versa. Read below how much they really know each other:Who is the one easy to fall asleep?Patricia: Titov!Titov : Me.Each person favorite color?Patricia: I guess the same. Black, white, grey.Titov : Yep.

Michelle Hendra's 2019 Achievements And Goals

If Michelle Hendra does not ring a bell to you, try Michimomo. Yes, The Michimomo. A top fashion and beauty blogger that successfully influence Indonesian trend with her writings, reviews, and contents since 2008. “Lately, I have been busy with the same thing; YouTube, and Instagram. But I just got myself a TV-series called ‘The Ideas’ so excited for it,” explained Michi to Eyelovin’s team. The story started in 2008, as she went on stage for a pageant show that demanded all participants to have a blog. “I started it because it was one of the criteria that had to be fulfilled on the pageant show. Turns out, I figured I love writing. Ever since I started to write more and more. When I am sad, I will write, when I am happy, I will too.” Her love for writing continues to give her more self-esteem to start posting pictures of her wearing fashionable outfits. “Back in the days I guess there were no #ootd, it was just me, posting myself wearing outfits. It continues up until today. But now I do not write as much, I converted it to YouTube because I know nowadays people prefer to see more visuals than to read.” Now, Michi already has 128k followers on Instagram and 251k subscribers on YouTube. She filled her days with 3 to 4 events daily and creating contents. “My followers are the best, their existence molds me. There will never be ‘me’ without them. Because of them, every day I always try to be my best self.” As social media arises and changes our ways to consume contents and information, Michi sees both sides of the coin; negative and positive of it. “For me, there will always be a downside and upside of everything. When it comes to social media, the positive side is that you can always be aware of the world that you have never seen before. You can learn new things, and consume more information in just a snap. The downside is that because you can easily access everything, it is very easy for you to compare your life to others. Sometimes it can be quite buggy.” Her ambition does not stops in conquering social media, besides having her own TV show, her dream is also to act on a big screen. “I got asked to play a part in a film already, unfortunately, I do not feel suitable with the synopsis. You know, I always believe the hardest character that I might be playing is the opposite character of me. It does not have to be like a big character, I mean, a psycho or something. But a normal character that has a totally different character as mine. It will quite a challenge and exciting at the same time.” Michi is also building her own business brand, and that is a spicy paste or as we called it in Indonesia sambal. She loves spicy food, and wanted to give out options of sambal for people to taste. Hands down for this superb young lady! She is quite an inspiration for all independent women out there. Fun Fact: Favorite color?Purple Lucky number?21 How close are you with your family?Really close! Any foreign language that you speak?Korean! Your message for Eyelovin?I want Eyelovin to be the #1 shop for soft-lens buyers! Hopefully Eyelovin can make their own factory, can open many jobs and advance the Indonesian economy.
