Dear Me, The World is Better With You In It :)

by Lina Clémence June 12, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


 

Apa kabar kalian di bulan kedua tahun 2023?

Saya? Masih jobless (saya belum cerita ya? Emang malas cerita, dan nggak kepengin ditanya-tanya) seperti kemarin 🙂 

BACA JUGA: MARI BERANDAI-ANDAI KITA BISA JOBBYMOON~

Tapi santai sih nggak ya, masih tetap sibuk. 

…

Nah, kali ini saya mau cerita sedikit. Beberapa waktu lalu saya menemukan kesenangan baru lo. Tepatnya kesenangan lama yang bersemi kembali. Hayo, tebak apa?

Yep, menggambar! Melukis, menggambar, lettering, doodling, sketching... Apa aja yang melibatkan pensil, drawing pen dan kertas 🙂

Akhir-akhir ini hidup memang kurang menyenangkan dan saya cenderung lebih suka menghindari interaksi dengan orang lain. Interaksi dengan anak dan suami sudah cukup. Kalau ditambah orang banyak apalagi yang nggak memahami kondisi saya sekarang, rasanya sangat melelahkan bahkan agak menyesakkan. 

Saya nggak suka harus menjelaskan apa-apa dan saya takut being misunderstood. Intinya, saya lagi nggak kepengin sosialisasi sama siapa-siapa sekarang. 

Kalau saya mau ngobrol sama kamu, itu artinya kamu cukup nyaman buat saya. Bukan salah orang-orang sih, ya cuma saya lagi rapuh, hatinya gampang retak 😀 😀

Saya pun sudah mulai agak muak sama linkedin nih, jadi sekarang lebih fokus ke hal yang membuat senang tapi juga menghasilkan sesuatu, seperti menggambar, misalnya. 


Karena saya baru mulai lagi, jelas saya jauh lah dari jago. Tapi menorehkan sesuatu di atas kertas itu menyenangkan sekali. Saya bisa lupa sejenak kalau saya sudah nggak punya kerja tetap, lupa sejenak soal harga kebutuhan hidup yang makin naik gila-gilaan, dan soal ongkos anak sekolahan. 

Waktu menggambar, melukis atau sekadar doodling saya bisa sebentar fokus pada apa yang saya kerjakan dan nggak sibuk memikirkan masalah saya. Rasanya tenang dan menyenangkan. Suka banget! 

Diawali dengan art supplies yang seadanya, harapan saya sih nanti bisa upgrade sedikit-sedikit ya.

Yang saya suka saat doodling, lettering atau watercoloring adalah saya bisa sibuk sejenak merasa bermanfaat. Saya berdaya, bisa menghasilkan sesuatu dan menikmati prosesnya. Saya bisa fokus dengan karya saya (nggak peduli hasilnya gimana) dan saya yakin saya bisa improve kemampuan dengan rajin berlatih. Ada kepastian, dan itu rasanya menentramkan. 

Soalnya jujur saja, belakangan saya makin merasa useless. Saya nggak merasa cocok lagi kerja di bidang yang menuntut saya kerja kantoran 9-5, tapi saya juga butuh rutinitas dalam hidup. Saya tuh kadang ngerasa, saya tuh sebenarnya berguna nggak sih hidup di dunia ini? 😀 Tapi ya jelas berguna selama anak saya masih butuh diurus hehe. 

Tapi nggak lama lagi, dia akan tumbuh besar dan saya akan mulai jadi background. Oleh karena itu, menemukan sukacita dalam melukis dengan cat air memberi saya harapan bahwa saya bisa melakukan sesuatu yang saya suka dan sekaligus menghasilkan sesuatu. Untuk saat ini mungkin hasilnya masih remah rengginang, tapi yang penting saya menikmati prosesnya. 

Otak saya bisa fokus ke apa yang di hadapan saya, saya nggak sibuk buka medsos, atau memikirkan saya nanti kerja apa, siapa yang mau mempekerjakan saya, kenapa saya begini dan begitu. Rasanya nyaman dan saya tahu, yang saya kerjakan saat ini baik untuk kesehatan mental saya. 

Yang lebih menarik lagi nih, kalau kalian iseng cek-cek Youtube tutorial dari watercolor guru seperti Jenna Rainey dan Shayda Campbell, tutorial mereka itu sangat therapeutic lo. Jauh dari kata-kata mengintimidasi saat ngajarin tutorial menggambar. Video mereka itu justru sangat menyemangati dan ngepuk-puk para newbie kayak saya, bilang kamu pasti bisa, kamu nggak harus mulai dengan kesempurnaan dan kemampuan itu pasti berkembang asal latihan. 

Saat mulai belajar melukis, kita nggak usah risau hasilnya harus perfect kayak punya orang-orang yang udah pro. 

Kalimat-kalimatnya saat kasih tutorial itu kasih keyakinan bahwa menggambar itu (seharusnya) menyenangkan dan kita bisa kembangkan asal ada kemauan. Semangat kan jadinya untuk melukis? Intinya fokus ke kesenangan jiwa kita ya, nggak usah mikirin hasilnya bakal gimana-gimana~

Kalau yang lokal, saya suka juga sama Mbak 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 yang punya IG @cathflo.art karena tipsnya mudah dan gaya gambarnya cantik banget 🙂
Untuk kamu yang saat ini sedang bingung mau ke mana, mau ngapain, dan bingung mau cerita sama siapa, journalling dan doodling itu sangat meringankan lo. Nggak usah berpikir mau bikin yang sempurna ya! Ingat tujuannya untuk stress-release, bukan untuk lomba bagus-bagusan~

Btw, saya juga kadang misuh estetik dengan menuliskan kata-kata menyebalkan dengan tulisan ala handlettering lo haha. Meski kata-katanya misuh, proses lettering-nya bikin saya tenang. 
You do you pokoknya. Kalau hari ini kurang menyenangkan tetap semangat ya. Banyak hal yang bisa dikerjakan, dan kamu bisa mulai dari yang kamu suka. 

Suka baca fiksi, baca aja sampai keblinger. Suka nulis, tuliskan semua sampai lega. Suka menggambar, gambar aja sampai tangan pegal. 

Kita itu berharga banget, dan dunia butuh orang seperti kita. Dunia BISA lebih baik dengan kehadiran kita. 


Semangattttt!


xoxo, 
Raisa

Design Company Culture for Success

by Lina Clémence June 12, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


What is Company Culture?

At the heart of any great organization lies its company culture. But what does this frequently mentioned term truly mean? To define company culture, consider it the unique ethos of an organization, encapsulating its values, beliefs, and the norms that guide employee interactions. The invisible thread binds leaders and employees, shaping relationships and influencing behaviors. An established culture provides a consistent environment where expectations are clear, morale is high, and business goals align seamlessly with personal growth.

Why should we care about company culture? Consider it the lifeblood of an organization. A robust culture attracts top talent, promotes engagement, and boosts overall performance. In environments where culture is prioritized, employees feel valued, appreciated, and committed to the company’s vision. This cohesion acts as the bedrock upon which stellar teams are built and guided toward success, providing a competitive edge in business ecosystems where differentiation is pivotal.

The Building Blocks of Company Culture

Creating an exemplary company culture does not happen overnight; it requires mastering several key elements. Leadership style sets the tone; strong leaders foster trust and empowerment. Within such a culture, leaders serve as role models, driving employees’ conduct and attitudes by example. Communication methods reinforce the culture by ensuring all team members are on the same wavelength, promoting transparency and accountability. Effective interpersonal communication mitigates misunderstandings and builds a cohesive history of shared achievements and values.

Additionally, the actual workspace plays a significant role in embodying cultural values. Open, collaborative spaces encourage innovation, while flexible policies enhance satisfaction and productivity. When aligned with the company’s ethos, the physical environment facilitates energy and inspiration, acting as an incubator for creativity and motivation. Companies that nurture multi-functional spaces can cater to varying work styles, thus enhancing individual and collective output.

Why Company Culture Matters

Company culture isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a proven economic and motivational engine. For instance, organizations with well-defined cultures are 1.5 times more likely to achieve consistent growth and 20% less likely to experience high turnover rates. The real magic of culture lies in its ability to unite individuals under a common purpose, thereby galvanizing them toward achieving shared goals. A palpable sense of belonging and shared identity translates to higher motivation levels, turning personal achievements into collective triumphs.

Furthermore, a positive culture significantly impacts customer satisfaction. Employees who are passionate about their work and their organization’s values are better equipped to deliver exceptional service, thereby enhancing customer experience and loyalty. In today’s economy, where customer retention is just as important as acquisition, a thriving company culture is an essential differentiator that propels business success.

How to Cultivate a Thriving Company Culture

  1. Define Core Values: Identify, articulate, and integrate core values into every organizational facet. These values reflect the company’s mission and long-term vision. They act as guiding principles, ensuring that day-to-day actions are aligned with overarching goals.
  2. Communicate Clearly: Clear communication channels are vital. Regular updates, open forums, and team meetings help align everyone with the company’s objectives and ethos. This proactive and open dialogue promotes understanding, reduces ambiguities, and fosters a united workforce working towards common objectives.
  3. Nurture Leadership: Empower leaders to champion the company’s cultural values. Their behavior and decisions should embody the desired culture, setting a precedent for others. Through their commitment and actions, senior leaders can inspire a culture of high standards and accountability.
  4. Encourage Feedback: Cultivating a feedback-rich environment allows employees at all levels to voice their opinions, fostering a sense of involvement and belonging. It encourages a dynamic and adaptable culture, ready to evolve based on lived experiences and input from its people.

Real-Life Examples of Successful Cultures

Many trailblazing companies serve as excellent case studies in effective company culture. Tech giant Google has cultivated a culture centered on agility, creativity, and employee well-being. They have created an environment that promotes innovation by offering amenities and benefits that enhance work-life balance. Meanwhile, Zappos is amazed by its focus on customer service and unbeatable work atmosphere that prioritizes employee satisfaction. Their dedication to culture has resulted in low turnover rates and increased customer satisfaction. The Forbes article elaborates on how companies like these leverage distinctive cultural traits to maintain high levels of engagement and performance.

Potential Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

Building a great culture isn’t without its pitfalls. Micromanagement and lack of transparency can derail even the best-intentioned efforts. Micromanagement can stifle creativity, leading to disengagement and eroding trust. Avoid becoming too rigid in approach; instead, foster a culture of trust and empower employees, granting them the freedom to innovate and excel. Transparency is crucial; when employees are included in decision-making processes, they’re more likely to feel valued and part of a collective purpose rather than just gears in a machine.

Measuring the Success of Your Company Culture

To gauge the effectiveness of a company culture, one must rely on more than intuition. Employee feedback mechanisms—surveys, interviews, and focus groups—provide valuable insights. These metrics, like employee engagement levels and turnover rates, offer a comprehensive picture of cultural impact. Significant data gathering and examination allow organizations to pinpoint strengths, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities, guaranteeing that cultural elements align with business goals and employee contentment.

The Last Word on Company Culture

Cultivating a successful company culture is an evolving, dynamic process. It’s not just about embedding core values but also about adapting to new challenges and continuously nurturing team spirit. In today’s competitive business landscape, a dynamic company culture is an asset and a necessity. By emphasizing the fundamentals and upholding transparency and trust, organizations can foster a culture that benefits members and excels in a competitive environment. Tailoring initiatives to match the evolving needs of the workforce ensures that the culture remains vibrant, relevant, and a driving force toward success.

Nailed it – My Views On Revolution Nail Products! – All Things Aesthetic

by Lina Clémence June 12, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Happy Thursday! I’m finally feeling a little more human having been unwell last week, so that’s a positive. I have been struggling with the lock down recently, and if I’m completely honest, my mental health has taken a bit of a hit. Being unwell didn’t help, but as I’m feeling better now, I’m hoping to do little things to keep myself distracted. I’ve been doing daily workouts, uni work, working from home for my job, and of course blogging! I also find reading very therapeutic and audio books as well if I’m struggling to find the will power to read after a full on day of exam prep. I’ve been trying to do regular pampers so that I feel good about myself as well, and last week my treat from me to me was some new nail stuff! I’ve been isolating at my grandma’s, which means I didn’t have my gel lamp/kit to hand, so I thought I’d give the Revolution brand a go. Here are my thoughts!

The Price and Product

Makeup Revolution is known for being an affordable brand that provides high quality results which is why I thought I’d give their nail products a try. I’m used to gels, but they’re not the best for your nails, so I thought I’d invest in a few products to really help get my nails back into shape ready for me to have my gels on when this is all over. I went for a nice subtle nude/pink colour (called lingerie). I’ve never been one for bright nail colours for some reason, and I tend to stick to pinks/nudes/greys to make sure my nails never clash with my outfits. All the products I bought are below, with the links to purchase:

Makeup Revolution Care and Repair Nail Treatment – £4.00
Makeup Revolution High Gloss Nail Polish (Lingerie) – £4.00
Makeup Revolution Plump and Shine Gel Top Coat – £3.95
Makeup Revolution Nourish and Care Cuticle Oil – £5.00
Total: £16.95

It’s worth noting that the reviews are great and the products sell out really fast, so get buying ASAP if you want a bargain!

How to Apply

So I thought the products were great when I used them! They dry really quickly, and combining some nail treatments was really effective in helping my nails look and feel healthier – I think my favourite was the cuticle oil as it made me feel like a professional haha! Each product is fast drying and doesn’t smudge. However, you can only really do one layer of the lingerie varnish as it starts to peel if you do any more. Luckily, it has a really even finish so it doesn’t matter too much. They’re also quite durable; I’ve had the varnish on since Monday and haven’t had any chipped nails yet which is a result! For what I paid, I think it was worth it. It wasn’t too time consuming because of the fast drying, and I LOVE that it doesn’t smudge – that’s an issue I have with quite a few nail varnishes (FYI avoid Barry M nail varnishes).

Final thoughts? I would say give these products a go! I’m going to invest in a few other colours too so that I can switch it up a bit. I know it might seem pointless because no one will see me anyway, but it’s helping me restore some normality into my life in such an uncertain and unprecedented time.

On that note, I want to make a point of saying again that if you are struggling as I have been, please do feel free to drop me a message. If you feel you need a professional service, I’ve used Samaritans in the past (by calling 116 123) and they were an incredible help. More than ever, it’s essential that we are looking out for each other and keeping ourselves healthy physically AND mentally. Blogging has been a huge help throughout this, so I also owe those who read my posts a huge thank you!

Tomorrow is Friday, and while we may all be losing track of the days right now, let’s try and get that Friday feeling and look forward to the weekend ahead!

Speak soon everyone xxx

Review: Laneige HydroGel and Hydro Essence*

by Lina Clémence June 12, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


During the hotter months, I like to change up my skincare by going for lighter-weight products that are gel-like in consistency and cooling. Introducing the Water Bank Hydro Essence ($51 cad /70mL) that you use in conjunction with the hydro gel (below). This is targeted for those with dryness, dullness, oiliness and uneven texture. It is a very lightweight serum that quickly absorbs into the skin and helps boost hydration and prevent water loss. It contains their Green Mineral Water which is extracted from kale, watercress and beet which brings a refreshing texture and instantly absorbs into the skin. It also does not contain parabens and phthalates. 
  Next, we have the Water Bank Hydro Gel ($50 cad /50mL cad) a cooling, non-oily gel moisturizer that is packed with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid that helps to hydrate the skin and bring moisture back to it without leaving a heavy layer or feeling on the skin after. This is good for people with oily, combo or normal skin and helps to combat dullness and unevenness. It is also created without parabens and phthalates and contains the amazing Green Mineral Water as in the essence above.

A very important thing to note is that it is essential to keep the skin hydrated even when your skin is oily and sweating in the summer months. Do not make the same mistake as I did in my younger years by thinking that because my skin is so oily that I could refrain from applying moisturizer as it would regulate my oil control. That is a big no-no. In fact it does the opposite, stripping and depriving your skin of its required hydration and moisture would actually cause the skin to create even more oils to help regulate moisture and create that protection which is the opposite of what anyone really wants.

I have been a user of Laneige skincare items for years and continue to include them in my skincare routine! These are must-trys 🙂 

Until next time, XO – M.

Kesalahan Umum Pakai Parfum yang Harus Ditinggalkan di 2024! indonesia beauty and travel blogger Miharu Julie

by Lina Clémence June 11, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Hai beauty lovers, ga berasa ya sudah awal tahun baru 2024 saja nih. Gimana liburan akhir tahun kalian? Aku mau share nih pengalaman liburan akhir tahun 2023 aku kemarin bersama keluarga terasa menyenangkan, meskipun cuaca Jakarta panas banget dan kadang bikin badan jadi bau keringat menyengat. Nah selama liburan kemarin selain menggunakan skincare untuk perawatan wajah aku juga ga lupa memperhatikan perawatan badan dan salah satunya aroma tubuh, agar liburan tetap wangi dan meningkatkan kepercayaan diri kita.

Hanya saja yang sering menjadi permasalahan banyak orang, aroma dari parfum yang dipakai sebelum keluar rumah, hilang dalam sekejap atau tidak tahan lama. Karena itu aku mau share sedikit tips nya agar aroma parfum tidah hanya bertahan sebentar tapi tetap tahan lama dan Kesalahan Umum Pakai Parfum yang Harus Ditinggalkan di 2024!

Berikut yang wajib kalian tahu dulu,  beberapa faktor yang dapat memengaruhi daya tahan aroma parfum:

Konsentrasi Bahan Aroma: Parfum terdiri dari berbagai konsentrasi bahan aroma, seperti minyak esensial dan senyawa kimia. Parfum dengan konsentrasi tinggi, seperti parfum murni, cenderung bertahan lebih lama daripada jenis parfum dengan konsentrasi yang lebih rendah, seperti eau de toilette atau eau de cologne.

Tipe Kulit dan pH Tubuh: Kulit setiap orang memiliki pH yang berbeda. pH kulit yang tinggi atau rendah dapat mempengaruhi interaksi antara parfum dan kulit. Pada beberapa orang, parfum mungkin lebih cepat terurai atau berubah aroma karena reaksi kimia dengan pH kulit.

Suhu Tubuh: Suhu tubuh dapat memengaruhi daya tahan parfum. Suhu tubuh yang tinggi, seperti saat berkeringat, dapat menyebabkan parfum menguap lebih cepat. Oleh karena itu, kondisi cuaca dan aktivitas fisik dapat berdampak pada lamanya aroma parfum bertahan.

Kualitas Parfum: Kualitas bahan-bahan yang digunakan dalam pembuatan parfum juga memainkan peran penting. Parfum yang terbuat dari bahan-bahan berkualitas tinggi cenderung memiliki daya tahan aroma yang lebih baik daripada parfum dengan bahan-bahan yang kurang berkualitas.

Tekstur Kulit: Kulit kering cenderung tidak mempertahankan aroma dengan baik dibandingkan dengan kulit yang lembap. Oleh karena itu, mengaplikasikan parfum pada kulit yang bersih dan lembap dapat membantu memperpanjang daya tahan aromanya.

Teknik Aplikasi: Cara Anda mengaplikasikan parfum juga dapat memengaruhi lamanya aroma bertahan. Mengaplikasikan parfum pada area-area tubuh yang memiliki denyut nadi, seperti pergelangan tangan, leher, dan belakang telinga, dapat membantu aroma lebih lama bertahan.

Formula Parfum: Setiap parfum memiliki formula unik, dan beberapa formulasi dapat lebih tahan lama daripada yang lain. Parfum dengan formulasi khusus atau teknologi penahan aroma tertentu dapat memiliki daya tahan yang lebih baik.

Meskipun ada banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi daya tahan aroma parfum, penggunaan yang tepat, pemilihan parfum yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan, dan perawatan kulit yang baik dapat membantu memaksimalkan pengalaman aromanya.

Scarlett Whitening Eau De Parfum

Belakangan aku sendiri lagi pakai Scarlett Whitening Eau De Parfum Euphoria yang merupakan salah satu series perfume terbaru dari Scarlett yang menawarkan pengalaman wangi mewah dan tahan lama. Awalnya aku cobain karena rekomendasi dari teman aku. Katanya  Scarlett Eau De Parfum Euphoria ini merupakan salah satu Perfect Scent for New Year dan ada di penjualan nomor 1 di TikTok dan Shopee, ga heran kalo sebelumnya Perfume Scarlett memecahkan REKOR MURI dengan penjualan terbanyak selama 30 menit.

Harga Scarlett Euphoria Eau De Parfum

Packaging Scarlett Eau De Parfum Euphoria

Packaging parfum ini memiliki ukuran 30 ml yang menurut aku oke banget sizenya karena ringan, mudah dibawa kemana-mana, travel friendly jadi ready to go! Ukurannya tuh pas deh pokoknya di tas cewek dan buat yang suka bepergian naik pesawat, parfum ini masih termaksud kategori yang boleh di bawa ke dalam cabin pesawat. Pada kemasanannya juga terdapat cara penggunaannya, ingredients dan tentunya sudah BPOM ya jadi aman!

Kemasan parfum dari Scarlett ini sudah dirancang untuk tahan botol dengan penutup yang aman sehingga tidak membuka secara tidak sengaja selama perjalanan. Ini membantu mencegah parfum tumpah dan merusak barang-barang pribadi di dalam tas. Terus yang paling aku suka tentunya aplikator yang mudah digunakan tinggal semprot dan kemasan yang transparan sehingga membantu kita melihat sisa isi parfum tanpa perlu membuka penutupnya. Ini memudahkan untuk memantau seberapa banyak parfum yang masih tersisa.

Daya Tahan Scarlett Eau De Parfum Euphoria

Untuk daya tahannya cukup lama tapi tidak sepanjang hari ya. Untuk membantu agar parfum tetap tahan lama, aku share nih tipsnya baiknya: 

– Aplikasikan pada Kulit yang Bersih dan Lembap karena dapat membantu menahan aroma parfum lebih baik.

– Pilih Area dengan Pulsasi Nadi karena suhu tubuh di area ini dapat membantu menyebarkan aroma parfum.

– Semprotkan beberapa kali dari jarak yang cukup, hindari semprotan berlebihan yang dapat membuat aroma terlalu kuat.

– Simpan di Tempat yang Tepat

– Pilih Parfum yang Sesuai dengan Musim dan Acara:

– Perhatikan Kebiasaan Makan dan Gaya Hidup

Pros ✅:

5 Problems Women Face in Their Weight Loss Journey

by Lina Clémence June 11, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


It’s a fact that men tend to lose weight faster than women because they have more muscle mass, which helps burn calories faster. Additionally, women’s hormones play a significant role in weight gain and loss. We do know that women encounter a lot of issues that can slow down weight loss, but the good news is that most of these can be changed with just a little bit of effort. In this post, we talk in detail about 5 Problems Women Face in Their Weight Loss Journey and how these can be changed.

Amazing Weight Loss Tips For Women

1. Hormonal Fluctuations:

Women’s hormones play a crucial role in weight management. Estrogen is linked to fat storage, especially around the hips and thighs, and its fluctuations can increase appetite and slow down metabolism. Progesterone levels rise during the latter part of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, causing temporary weight gain due to increased water retention and appetite. Also insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels, can affect fat storage, posing challenges for women with insulin resistance when trying to lose weight. Additionally, thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) control metabolism, and imbalances can result in weight gain or hinder weight loss efforts. These hormonal imbalances can be managed by maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels and support hormone balance. You can find such weight loss diets on the Rati Beauty diet plan. Download the Rati Beauty app for more details. Needless to mention, regular exercise can improve metabolism and aid in weight loss. Most importantly, do not forget to consult with a certified doctor to address any hormonal imbalances.

2. PCOD/Insulin Resistance:

PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and insulin resistance can make it really tough for women to lose weight. When your body becomes insulin resistant, it struggles to turn sugar into energy, so it stores more fat instead. This makes it harder to shed extra pounds because your body is holding onto fat instead of burning it for fuel. So, even if you’re eating right and exercising, it can still be really challenging to lose weight when you have PCOD or insulin resistance. Managing PCOD and insulin resistance involves lifestyle changes and medical interventions. Switch to a healthy diet, cutting down sugar, refined carbs, and including foods rich in fiber, lean protein, and healthy fats. Regular exercise, even if it’s brisk walking can improve insulin sensitivity. Most importantly, consulting with a doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan is essential to treat PCOD and reverse insulin resistance.

3. Chronic Stress:

Let’s face it – juggling between life and work can put women under a lot of stress. Cortisol, which is also called the stress hormone, can go out of whack with chronic stress. Cortisol can make you feel hungry, increase cravings for unhealthy food and sugar, and facilitate storage of fat, mostly around your belly. When you’re constantly stressed, your body releases more cortisol, and if this happens a lot, it can lead to extra fat in your tummy area. That’s why many women struggle with belly fat, especially when they’re feeling stressed out. To fight stress and support weight loss, women may practice relaxation methods like deep breathing or yoga. Engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking, dancing, or cycling, can also reduce stress and boost mood. Additionally, seeking social support from friends, family, or support groups can provide encouragement and help manage stress. Indulging in hobbies can also distract from stressors and promote overall well-being. Also read: “5 Main Reasons For Belly Fat in Women.”

4. Leptin and Ghrelin Imbalance:

Leptin and ghrelin are like little messengers in your body that control your hunger and fullness. When they’re not balanced, it can be tough to lose weight. Leptin tells your brain when you’re full, but if you have too much body fat, your brain might not listen to it as well, so you keep feeling hungry. Ghrelin, on the other hand, tells your brain when you’re hungry. If you have too much ghrelin or your body doesn’t respond to it like it should, you might feel hungry all the time, even when you don’t need to eat. So, when these hormones are out of whack, it can mess up your appetite signals and make it harder to stick to a healthy eating plan and lose weight. Cutting out sugar, processed food and switching to a healthy diet can bring the leptin-ghrelin hormones into balance.

5. Not Finding Enough Time For Sleep and Rest:

Achieving work-life balance can be tougher for women, and this struggle can contribute to weight gain. Women often juggle multiple responsibilities, including work and household duties. Balancing these demands can leave little time and energy for self-care activities like exercise and meal preparation. Additionally, a lot of women prioritize others’ needs over their own well-being. Stress from trying to manage it all can lead to emotional eating and disrupted sleep patterns, both of which can contribute to weight gain over time. Furthermore, workplace environments may lack support for working mothers, such as flexible schedules or childcare assistance, making it even more challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Do make yourself a priority and find time to rest and rejuvenate and construct a sleep routine which gives you at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Just by making this change, you would see a major change in your weight loss game.

Depology Matrixyl 3000 Travel Set Review — Laura Loukola

by Lina Clémence June 11, 2025
written by Lina Clémence



Depology Matrixyl 3000 Travel Set Review

Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum $40 (€36.7) for 30ml (1.01 fl.Oz)
Matrixyl 3000 Travel Set $50 $40 (€36.7) for 30ml (1.01 fl.Oz) AND 9ml /0.30 fl.Oz)

For reference: I am 34 years old with normal-dry/dehydrated skin. My main concerns are dullness, tightness, and the occasional dry patch on my cheeks. My congestion is manageable, and I rarely break out anymore. Dehydration makes my fine lines and signs of aging more prominent, so I’m a huge fan of hydrating serums and essences. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become pickier about the products I use: solely hyaluronic acid-based products can make my skin feel even tighter if I’m not quickly sealing them in with a layer of cream or facial oil.

Last fall I struggled with sinusitis, frequent flu, and fatigue (hence, I had to take some time off from work and blogging). I was often too tired to do my many-step skincare routine, but Matrixyl 3000 Serum was easy and quick to apply, comforting my skin instantly. I enjoy that Depology Matrixyl 3000 has several humectants (aloe leaf juice, glycerin, hyaluronic acid) and emollients (rosehip seed and sunflower seed oil) for long-lasting soothing and hydration. Not to forget the collagen-boosting star ingredient, which is in a high concentration. I’m finally healthy, and I’ve been using my 2nd bottle for a few weeks with my usual skincare routine. I still enjoy it! According to my experience, this serum is beneficial whether you prefer a complex skincare routine or a simplified one. I cannot measure my collagen levels, but my skin looks and feels smoother and brighter, and my fine lines are less pronounced.

My usual routine is cleansing, toning, and massaging a few drops of the serum on my face, neck, and décolléte. Especially if you pick up Matrixyl Collagen Boosting Serum Travel Set it will last you weeks, the price is very reasonable, and the mini bottle is easy to toss into your travel bag. I follow the serum with an eye cream, moisturizer, and SPF during the day. It works beautifully under makeup. My evening routine is similar, but I pair the Matrixyl 3000 serum with a retinol cream (or just a facial oil if I’m lazy). I also tested the serum paired with Depology Micro-Dart patches (review here) overnight to give my eye area extra pampering. Just make sure you let the serum absorb before applying the patches!

I would suggest this serum for most people and any skin type. It’s also vegan, cruelty-free, and free of artificial fragrance. I know people prone to acne may need to pay attention to coconut oil, but the amount seems minimal. I didn’t get any congestion (I struggled with acne in my mid-20s). For the best results, check out Depology’s simple ingredient pairing guide. I found it very helpful!

Spa Review: Cottonmill at Sopwell House

by Lina Clémence June 11, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


I recently escaped all my responsibilities for a spa day and overnight stay at Sopwell House in St Albans and thought it was the perfect thing to re-ignite my blog writing spark for a review. It’s been a while, but if there’s one thing I love to experience and share it would be spa time and treatments.

UK Spa Escape

This was actually my second visit to Sopwell House. I previously visited in 2020 for a two night trip with my husband for our anniversary. We actually only ended up staying one night as the spa was fully booked which meant we couldn’t book any treatments at all so decided to cut it short. However, the spa facilities were gorgeous and I knew I wanted to go back. So when a spa day and escape from mum life was offered up (as a lovely Mother’s Day gift) I jumped at the chance.

I booked the one night spa escape which includes spa access to The Club at Cottonmill as well as the standard Cottonmill spa facilities. Sopwell House has two ‘levels’ of spa – the standard Cottonmill and the Club at Cottonmill. The Club at Cottonmill is the multi-million pound refurb/spa extension that is a spa/private members area. It has top class facilities including beautiful spa gardens, deep relaxation space and whisper rooms. Plus spa gardens, outdoor hot tubs, indoor-outdoor spa pool. Overall it offers two floors of relaxing spa space with steam rooms, saunas and the like. All hotel guests get access to the main pool area (Cottonmill) as standard, but to access the The Club at Cottonmill you need to either pay the extra rate or book as part of your stay package. I believe the extra rate is around £150 for the day, but we’ve always booked packages with it included.

The room rate also included a three course dinner, and breakfast. Spa access is from midday on check in day to 11am on the check out day.

Any treatments are additional cost and I seriously recommend booking well in advance as on our first visit we hadn’t done this and there was no availability at all at check in. In hindsight an obvious error, but having booked the trip on the phone I felt like a heads up to also book spa treatments from the booking staff would have been helpful and good customer service.

This time around I booked a massage treatment, an hour long Aromatherapy Associates muscle relax treatment to try and pummel out all the tension I was holding. Let’s be honest, I needed more than an hour but that hour was great. The therapist did all the right things, talking me through the treatment and asking for pressure preferences and checking comfort levels etc. I can’t fault the treatments experience.

The other area I can’t fault is the changing rooms. It may seem fairly niche but the changing room experience really does tell you a lot about the spa you’re arriving at. The thing that caught my eye? The Dyson hairdryers. I love a Dyson hairdryer, they really are ace and it’s rare but welcome to see them in a communal changing room scenario. The lockers are decent sized and they have a selection of basics on offer for use – deodorant etc. The sort of things you know you need but easily forget. A good touch.

What are the major selling points of the spa?

Well, the Cottonmill spa space is just beautiful, both indoor and outdoor. For the outdoor area, of course the space can only be used in good weather but luckily that was the case and to be fair – when I previously visited in August 2020, we still used the outdoor hot tubs in the rain as no way was I missing out on some of the experience for a bit of bad weather.

There are three outdoor hot tubs, plus a number of outdoor sun lounger and sofa spaces. For a good weather day, there’s a lot of space to be enjoyed. Don’t forget your suncream if you’re planning to spend time outside when visiting.

Indoors, there’s also a fairly decent amount of space. A mixture of day beds, some hanging chairs that look great but not all that comfortable to actually sit on. On our August 2020 visit, they were some of the only options as all other spaces were full. Instagram friendly, not spa-nap friendly.

On this visit, it was much less busy so space to relax wasn’t an issue at all. You can also get drinks brought to your table/bed which is a nice perk. Using a QR code where you can pay using your phone easily.

Where did Sopwell House fall short of expectations?

Overall, the staff were great but there were a couple of issues where it comes to food service. I had three meals at Sopwell House. One in the Greenhouse space, one in the Brasserie and one (breakfast) booked as room service. All three meals took a long time to be served. Something I did raise with the front desk as I checked out. Honestly when it comes to service I always like to be pretty patient with it as long as any delays/issues are communicated but when it happened over and over each time, my patience started to wear thin. My biggest niggle with it was A) Every time I had to chase, when I was waiting 45minutes to an hour for food to be served – no staff realised or checked and B) It was all time I lost from being in the spa!

For additional transparency on my experience: I mentioned I raised the food service delays at checkout – I was told someone would come back to me to follow up. It’s now been two weeks since my stay and nobody has followed up as yet.

No, it’s not the biggest issue but it is something I feel they need to be aware of and look at how they can manage. I was told it was because they had a wedding on. I was also told by the assistant manager they have multiple weddings on every weekend from now until September. So if you’re visiting in that period it’s something to be aware of. As honestly, an hour wait for food to be delivered (especially in scenarios like breakfast where a 15 minute window is selected for the food to arrive – but then it was chased twice and didn’t arrive until an hour later) is longer than I think is acceptable.

ANYWAY. I really don’t want the food service niggles to overshadow the overall positive experience of escaping to a beautiful spa for a relaxing headspace break. The spa really is beautiful, even if some of the wider service issues do let Sopwell House down.

I think having now visited twice, I would perhaps look elsewhere for an overnight spa break and consider the service hiccups if planning food there too. However as a space and treatment wise, it was thoroughly enjoyable. A sunny day at the Cottonmill Spa would be hard to beat. Perhaps one that’s more suited to a day time spa escape than the full overnight stay experience.

How much does Sopwell House Cost?

Cost of overnight spa break: £375

Cost of 60 minute treatment: £115

Additional extras: Around £50 for all additional food and drinks for one person.

All above treatments and costs paid for by myself.
