Out of The Blue

This Lebaran break Tiwi and I were not coming back home a.k.a mudik to visit our parents and family. We had some things planned. On the first day of the break, Tiwi was having a make-up short course. She needed a model, then, voila.... Me!!! So I went with her.
When the instructor put the make up on me, i didn't like the result, my face looked like a mask, too white.
She put red lipstick, my eyebrows became thicker, black and thick eye liners. Oohh.. scary!!!

Well, then Tiwi and I made another plan, we would put make up on ourselves. And i liked the result better, it's more natural and still accapetable.

This one is better, more human!

The other thing we did was 3-days detoxing. We ate only fruits and vegetables. We shopped on Saturday morning because we wanted to start on Sunday to Tuesday. Since Tuesday is Lebaran, the market would be so crowded (it's so true!), we tried to buy all we need at once. 6 kg of carrots, 2 kg of mango, 1 kg of sawo, 1/2 kg of green bean, 1/2 kg of pokcoy, 1/2 kg of kaylan. That's what we had for 3 days.
Apparently that was not enough, so we came back to the market on Monday and bought some more mangoes, carrots and wealso bought jambu air, jambu biji and broccoli, 1 kg each. Yuum!
Twice a day we drank a glass of carrot juice. Mango as lunch and everything else when we were hungry. The dregs of carrot juice we used it for facial mask.

Tiwi and me on natural facial mask, carrot dregs.

First day was a bit easy. I got light headache because i didn't drink coffee. Second day was the hardest. I had severe headache, my brain needed caffeine so bad. i couldn't wake up from the bed. It was like someone hit my forehead. Half of my head was in pain. I couldn't sleep, i couldn't stand up. I really wanted to take off my skull and clean up the things which made my head in such pain. I was like a drug addict who was trying to get clean.
Third day was ok, i got clean from caffeine, and so couldn't wait for that day to be over. I lost 1.5 kg in three days! But, I wanted to eat fried food and rice so bad... T_T

I felt so great after the detox. It only needs perseverance and lots of fruits!!
