Kaleidoscope of Mariana ♡

Over the summer, I've been trying out quite a few perfumes. From the high street to something a little pricier, I found some of the fragrances I really like. I think scents for the summer are supposed to be fun, fruity, and refreshing - nothing too overwhelming. Here are my recent favorite fragrances. Kenzo Wild by Kenzo Not a famous fragrance from Kenzo,...

Hi loves, Summer holiday was very fun and also quite refreshing as i got to unload all of the stress off that I got over the semester. My mother went to Australia for her work a few weeks ago while I stayed with my grandma in Jakarta. I wasn't able to come, however, I asked her to bring back some beauty products for...

Hi readers, Earlier this month, my grandma asked me to accompany her to an orchid supply store and garden. Her newfound hobby, growing orchids, has been keeping her very content lately. I've seen some of her orchids displayed on the front terrace, they were beautiful. So I figured it would be great to tag along and bring a camera with me. There I...

Hi loves, Whether it's going to school or out with friends, I always have my bag with me. I don't know about you, but I feel anxious leaving home without my earphones or a pen. Unlike many others who only carry their phone and wallet, I carry around a large handbag with me to store my important (at least to me) necessities. I...

Dear readers, I have had this draft for quite some time now but never got the chance to finish it. But guess what? After spending three months in my draft, this post is finally getting published! I have a very problematic skin, well, combination to be exact. The T-zone area can be very oily, but in other places are dry and flakey. My skin...

Hey readers, Today, I went to a Cherry Blossom Festival/Kersenbloesemfestival in Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam Forest). The annual celebration marks the return of spring in the Netherlands. Around 400 Japanese Sakura trees live in the area, planted in the year 2000 by The Japan Women's Club. The trees symbolize a new beginning and hope. ...

Hey readers, I'm currently having my spring break from school, which means more time for baking and blogging! As you see, most of my food-related posts are in fact, desserts and sweets. I have always loved meringue cookies. Not only because how pretty their cloud-shaped form is, but they're very light and crispy - leaving you wanting more and more! Now, I might...

Hii    A couple of weeks ago, I went to East Java, and visited a few cities and places. I went to Surabaya, Mount Bromo, and Batu. But today, I'm going to compare a popular zoo in Batu, which is the Batu Secret Zoo to the oldest zoo in the Netherlands, Amsterdam Artis.    Batu is a city nearby Malang, with lots of...

Hi readers, As I said in a blog post a couple weeks back, I ordered some makeup from Elf Cosmetics. They're an affordable cosmetic brand form the US, stands for Eyes Lips Face. Their products are available for purchase nationwide in America, however since I live in the Netherlands, I had to order them online from eyeslipsface.nl (Dutch website).  My package came last...

Hi lovelies, Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Why? It's the time where you can relax and relieve all of your stress. Or a worry-free day as I like to call it. Saturday's are full of joy and comfort. It's a day when you can stay at home and wear sweatpants all day long or go outside and grab a coffee...

Hi readers, I was super excited to write this because I have never written a lipstick review before and L'Oreal lip products are something new to me. I admit that I haven't tried any of their lippies, even though I've tried (+ loved!) L'Oreal's Miss Manga mascara. ...

Hey readers, I had a mini makeup haul awhile ago. I picked up some products from Essence, Rimmel, Maybelline, and Revlon. From all the things I got, here are some of my favorites: ...

Hey, readers! I mentioned in a post a couple months ago, that I had my Christmas and New Year Holiday in Italy. I went there with my mother and we did not only went to Rome - but to Pompeii, Sorrento, and Naples as well. It was fun and exciting, also a bit of an adventure as I planned the trip myself with a...

Hi readers, Do you have any old bread sitting around in your pantry for days? Well I do, and honestly, no one likes them - they're dry, hard, and loses it's taste after some time. I turned my love for desserts and the leftover bread into a delicious pan of bread pudding. Just like the one my mother used to make me when...

Hey readers, Do you ever feel like not doing anything? Some days I just feel myself wanting to lay on a couch, not thinking about my responsibilities and work. A day to let go of all the stress I've had from the past few days. I'm such a lazy-ass potato, I know. However, giving yourself some time to relax after a long week...

Hey readers, There are two things I'm obsessed with, Taylor Swift and food. I admit that I'm a hard-core Swiftie and remember every single lyric of her five albums. I worship her, but you're not here to read me rambling about my love for Taylor. You're here for me rambling about how much I love food instead. No kidding, I love food on...
