Mid-January 2019, I get the chance to travel back to Seoul, Korea with my mom. It can say the shopping trip for both of us. During this trip, I take a chance to visit the Plant Café & Kitchen located at Itaewon, Seoul. As the title of this café, they provided the vegan's menu to the customers. 

The themes of this café are tropical, unique and creative with a lot of plants on every corner in the café. Its make me feel like in Bali sometimes. I like it so much and I can relax enjoy my meals in this café. This café looks quite small on the second floors but it's nice. Maybe this café can fit around 20 – 30 person in one time. The operation hours from Monday to Saturday, 11:00 am until 10:00 pm (Kitchen closes by 09:00 pm). This café closed on every Sunday. 

I have been ordering our lunch – start from the drinks, I order the Hot Apple Ginger Tea (KRW 7,000 ~ RM 26.00) and Yuja Citron Tea (KRW 5,000 ~ RM 19.00) from the Specialty & Seasonal Drinks in the menu. Then, I order the Caesar Salad (KRW 12,000 ~ RM 45.00) and Mushroom Burger (KRW 14,500 ~ RM 54.00). My mom chooses the Yuja Citron Tea and Caesar Salad. The Caesar Salad comes with the green salad mix, herbed croutons, tofu cubes, cashew-based Caesar dressing, grated parmesan cheese, fried onions, and toasted multigrain bread. This salad is quite normal for us and nothing special. 

I choose the Hot Apple Ginger Tea and Mushroom Burger. The Mushroom Burger comes with plant veggie patty, topped with creamed mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, red onion, lightly pickled paprika, and garlic mayo. This Mushroom Burger is new in the menu and I like to try it. My mom and I like a mushroom but this mushroom burger not really suit our taste at all. The plant veggie patty inside the burger is like the variety of nuts and its mix until it looks like meat burger but it's just a mix nuts. The topped creamed mushrooms are delicious but I don't like the plant veggie patty.

On early July 2018, I was bought a lot of the Mamonde's products from Hermo website. In this time, I would like to make the small review about the Mamonde Rose Water Soothing Gel (300ml) with the Mamonde Top Pick's Set (RM 107.00), include the Rose Water Toner (250ml), Rose Water Soothing Gel (300ml), Petal Spa Oil to Foam (25ml), and Calming Hydro Sleeping Mask (15ml). For me, it is a great deal. The normal price of Mamonde Rose Water Soothing Gel (300ml) is RM 55.00 and the Mamonde Rose Water Toner (250ml) is RM 85.00. So in total is RM 140.00. 

The Mamonde Rose Water Soothing Gel (300ml) is a multi-purpose, soothing gel containing 90.81% rose water which makes skin feel hydrated but at the same time absorbs quickly with multi-use Sundjel. The true moisturizing effect of Da masked tsu. The morning dew is raised, and it picks up a mask of a mask and gives an excellent calming and moisturizing effect to the skin. The massive multi-use water gel, which is it can be used in the facial, hair, body and etc. The dry and tired parts of the rose incense and calmly cool while leaving the scent of roses. The formulated without 7 ingredients, which are free of animal ingredients, mineral oil, polyacrylamide, imidazolidinyl urea, triethanolamine, tar pigment, and PEG surfactant. The raw material is Damask Rose and it is located at Rose Valley. The rose is loved by charm and fragrance is one of the best roses among the hundreds of roses. 

It is easy to use, reduces the amount needed and spreads it on the face, hair, body and other areas as needed. If you store in the refrigerator, you can use more cool. For me, this product makes my reminder to the Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. The purpose of both products is almost the same, just the difference is the scents. So far, I like this product especially the scent of roses. It is great to use during the summertime like in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I would like to give 4.3 stars out of 5 stars to this product and I will repurchase again. 

On early July 2018, I was bought a lot of the Mamonde's products from Hermo website. In this time, I would like to make the small review about the Mamonde Petal Spa Oil to Foam (175ml) with the normal price is RM 56.00. 

An oil cleansing foam for quick and easy cleansing that gently dissolves makeup with oil and foams a rich lather with water. The product features are oil dissolves makeup gently, transforming gel cleanser with water-activated foam, and in the case of base makeup, single-cleansing with this cleanser is enough. The product benefits are a water-soluble moisturizing ingredient (polyol), which is great for removing base makeup and keeping the skin dewy (skincare effect); great cleansing power and gentle lather in one go; convenient double cleansing effect; and 2-in1 effect of oil and foam. 

So far, I like this product. It gives the same effect as another product I have been used it before. The smell is really good with rose. It really cleanses the skin well, like double action removing both makeup and dirty. I would like to give the 4 stars out of the 5 stars to this product.

Honestly, I know the brand of IOPE but I never try any of the product from the brand IOPE. I bought the IOPE Live Lift Serum Agave Fructan (40ml) during my holiday in Seoul, Korea last November 2017. I bought it at Olive and Young Store Myeongdong. At that moment, they have the promo and I feel it interesting about this brand. I forget the price of this product.

The IOPE Live Lift Serum is anti-aging firming serum that creates even tighter and smoother skin. It is designed especially for the ribbon zone. The ribbon zone is the area from the under-eye line down to the cheeks all the way to the jawline. The special formula was designed with agave, a desert plant that retains moisture and always stays tightly firm. The IOPE Live Lift Serum a highly concentrated, potent serum that visibly improves skin's elasticity and forms a layered skin with a visibly tightening formula for smoother skin. 

The texture of this serum is a bouncy formula that delivers effective ingredients deep inside the skin with a silky smooth finish that envelops the skin. It is easy to use it. During the serum stage, pump the product 1 – 2 times and spread over your entire face and let it absorb before the next step. I have been using this product within 2 weeks and I can see my skin look better slowly. I like this product even the result I can't see immediate change but I like the way my skin looks better than before. I would like to give 4.2 stars out of 5 stars to this product.

The brand of Nature Republic from South Korea is familiar to Malaysians even to me too. But it is my first try the Nature Republic White Vita Floral Mask Sheet. I did not really remember clearly when I get this product. I'm sure that I got this product for free while I bought other products of the Nature Republic in Seoul, Korea.

The Nature Republic White Vita Floral Mask Sheet is the mask focuses on brightening and moisturizing the skin. This will be good for those with dry or combination skin types. The packing is simple with flora and green color. Normally, I use the mask 2 – 3 times a week. I apply this product after cleanser and toner. After that, I leave on for 10 – 20 minutes. After removal, massage excess essence into skin.

This mask type is creamy and heavy. I really do not like this type of mask. It is making my skin oilier. The scent is also quite strong to me. I am not sure what's kind of scent it is. Maybe for those have dry and combination to dry skin, it is good but for those have combination to oily skin like me, I not recommend to using it. It will make my skin break-out. I would like to give 2.5 stars out of 5 stars to this product and I would not purchase this product again. 

On early July 2018, I was bought a lot of the Mamonde's products from Hermo website. In this time, I would like to make the small review about the Mamonde Lotus Micro Cleansing Foam (175ml) with the normal price is RM 52.00. but I bought the Mamonde Pore Clean Care Set (RM 93.00), which are include the Micro Cleansing Foam (175ml), Pore Clean Blackhead Stick (18g), Micro Cleansing Foam (15ml), and Calming Hydro Sleeping Mask (15ml). 

The Mamonde Lotus Micro Cleansing Foam is a hydrating, brightening cleansing foam that cleanses even the finest particulate matter (PM 2.5) while protecting the moisturizing factors of the skin to create healthier and brighter looking skin. The benefit is to maintain skin moisturizing factor and enhance the effect of the next skincare product; foamy cleanser that leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple; richly foamy bubble foams a moisture barrier to prevent drying the skin; and Lotus Anti-PM ComplexTM effectively eliminates skin's waste with high purifying functions. 

The packing is simple with the lotus and white color. It is nice. The scent is the nice and not strong scent to me. The texture is creamy to foam while you rub it together. I like my skin texture after using it for 3 weeks. My skin looks better and I also feel refresh after using it as the second step of double cleansing during the evening routine. I would like to give 4 stars out of 5 stars to this product.

In this post, I'm personally wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all of you, who are wishes to me "Happy Birthday" on 25 January 2019 (Friday). I'd take time for almost 1 week, just to write this post. I'm feeling grateful to be a daughter in the wonderful family and also round the great friends. I'm happy to read all of your wishes and received the birthday's gifts from my mama, aunty, and friends. I love all of the gifts. 

Even this is the third years I was celebrated my birthday without my late dad but I thankful that I still have my lovely Mama, who always beside me and patients on me. I always miss my late dad and I also never forget to pray for him. Sometimes when I have a hard time moments, my late dad always gets into my dream – he always takes me traveling in the dream and it is making me happy when I wake up on the next day. That makes me feel my late dad always beside me at all times. 

This year, my mom gives me a crazy birthday's gift, which is a winter birthday holiday to Seoul, Korea. If you follow me on my Instagram @nina_enany – you will know that I'm just back from my holiday with my mom. That is my first time celebrating my birthday in Seoul, Korea even it's my seven-time going there. Not surprised, right? On this winter birthday holiday to Seoul, Korea – I got chance to experience the Business Class by Malaysia Airlines from Incheon International Airport to KLIA. That really the BEST memories of my life. Thanks, Mama for a great birthday's gift this year. You are the BEST MAMA EVER! LUV U SO MUCH!!!

I'm also bought my own birthday gift, which is iPhone Xs Max with Gold color (256 GB), together with Apple AirPods. Actually, I bought this new iPhone Xs Max on mid-November 2018 using my saving money. I love it so much, but I still use my iPhone 6 meanwhile I already upgrade my iPhone. I do shopping the new casing of iPhone Xs Max and Airpod during my winter birthday holiday last January 2019. I love all the new casing of iPhone Xs Max and AirPods that I was bought at Seoul, Korea. I just start using the Airpod casing only and I look it has become the trend at Seoul, Korea – when most of the young generation are love using AirPods and iPhone X or iPhone Xs or iPhone Xs Max. It's easy to look at these scenes, especially in the subway. 

I do also make an experiment during my holiday to Seoul, Korea. I want to test the weather sealing of this iPhone Xs Max during the winter season and I admit it that my phone working well even in cold weather (like the lower temperature around -8 on that time). The camera is really great and awesome. Most of my photos are working well and great to me and most of the time, I just use the iPhone Xs Max during the winter birthday holiday to Seoul, Korea. I'm not using the Fujifilm X-T10 camera even I bring that camera too, I just lazy to carry the camera since outside along the Seoul City is super cold to me. I just want to be simple since it's 7 times I have been a holiday in Seoul, Korea. Hihihi~ 

I love the Laneige brand since 2012 I've been using this brand after the Laneige launched the Fresh Calming line – I'm quite excited about it. I bought the Laneige Fresh Calming Quick Morning Mask [Limited Edition Sparkle My Way] (80g) with the price is RM 108.00. This skincare line is designed for combination to oily skin as well as younger skin. Yes, my skin type is the combination to oily skin since I live in a humid place like Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I admit it, my skin condition will change based on the weather condition. 

The Laneige Fresh Calming Quick Morning mask is under the Fresh Calming Line Products. The Laneige Fresh Calming Morning Mask is easy and quick left on morning mask that hydrates sensitive skin soothes skin and helps makeup get applied well. On top of the Laneige Skin Equalizing technology, panthenol, an excellently soothing compound, has been added to more powerfully provide special skin soothing care. As an innovative mask of an air mousse texture, its further-refined particles help skin absorbs the effective compounds and enjoy an optimal state for makeup to get applied well during busy mornings.

The reason the skin disheveled is because the skin condition is unstable. This collection helps to recover a healthy balance. It hydrates and soothes the skin. It is also 4-free, which are no mineral oil, no animal products, no artificial color, and no triethanolamine. It is easy to use as a moisturizer (the last step on the facial routine). After an evening out the skin texture with a toner, apply serum, pump a quarter-sized amount of product and apply onto the entire face. Then pat dry within a minute. It better you shake first before you pump it.  

I've been using this product for 1 month and I fall in love with it. It's easy to apply in the morning. I can see slowing my skin look better and healthier. I do use it on a daily basis in the morning even in the evening too. The scent is like flower and not really strong scent. The packing is nice and simple with smooth color. I would like to give the 4.5 stars out of 5 stars to this product and I will repurchase again.
