hi everyone! it seems ages but it's only 10 days or so. i visited my brother in melbourne and the whole family came too, so it was a good reunion-kind-of holiday. luckily the whole family was there so i had a lot of help dealing with my two kids. being pregnant and all, it was quite tiring dealing with two kids, so i'm grateful they were there. but i won't talk about my holiday in this blog. what i will talk about is about the disaster that happened slightly before departure.
we tried to leave earlier, but somehow the traffic wasn't friendly with us. there was an accident at the freeway, so we had to turn around, but the other way was also jammed with vehicles. and we were late. they had called our names at the airport before we came, and my husband had to argue with the counter staff about our baggage, and sadly, we had to leave them. yep. we had to leave our baggage.. the baggage that full with our clothes, and medicines, and the kids' formula and medicine..
oh well, if it was the old me, i would freak out like my mom, but i was with my husband quite some time, so i didn't blame him. he couldn't control the traffic, so at that time, my only concern was my kids medicine and formula since i knew well i couldn't get them in australia. my little one was sick and she was on cold medicine which have to be prescribed in melbourne. but unfortunately, the time wasn't enough. we were in bali for transit, and my husband quickly called gojek driver to buy the baby formula and essential baby stuff, and he found it. but unfortunately, since the formula was quite expensive, the gojek driver didn't have enough money to buy the medicine, so we decided to just take the formula and baby essentials.
so our first day was spent to buy clothes. thankfully there's target. hahaa.. cheap clothes for emergency. and you might wonder, what happened to my skincare? well, my skincare was also in our baggage and being left at home, so i had no skincare at all when we arrived at melbourne, not even a face wash. i only had biore face wipes and a sachet of missha all in one cream. but at that time i completely forgot the sample. buying another korean skin care is out of question since it's not common, plus i had to buy full size, while i still had a lot of stuff back home. buying common skincare was also not an option, since i can't browse what to buy there, and again, everything was sold in full size. luckily, i asked my sis to buy me stuff from q10 and brought it to melbourne. i ordered scinic snail AIO, goodal firming sleeping pack, SNP aqua bird nest eye patch, hadalabo mild peeling lotion and bifesta cleansing water. i think it will be enough..
so, at the first few days, i used my sis travel size facial foam and then bought neutrogena one since i thought my sis will run out of her facial foam if i kept using hers. and there's no travel size, so i had to buy the full size one. for makeup wipes, i used my biore facial wipes. for essence, serum, and cream, i use the snail AIO. it was light, but surprisingly moisturizing enough for daytime. but at night, i use the goodal sleeping pack. almost every night since it was winter and i think only AIO won't be enough. for the first week, it seems enough. but around our time to get home, i noticed that my skin is a bit dry, probably due to harsh cold wind around that time. but somehow, i managed. i even slap the sleeping pack during daytime if i noticed my skin was drier than usual. hahaha..
okay, somehow i managed, but once i got home, i slapped my usual skin care for the straight three days before using acids again. and sleeping pack almost every night to counter the dryness. luckily it doesn't make me greasy since here's super duper hot. like melting hot. even other people who stayed in surabaya complained about the heat! i must say i'm quite lucky i had my sis bringing my stuff over so i don't have to buy something entirely new. however, i still don't think it's enough, but it's enough for emergency. thank God for those hybrid products. how about you guys? have you ever been in same situation as me? and what did you do?
