Arguably the most personal and intimate of beauty products, the choice of perfume reveals volumes about its wearer, orientals are sexy and exotic, aldehydes bold and daring, florals romantic. 

Like millions of other women, Monroe was a fan of Chanel No 5. However, in 2002, it was revealed that she also had a secret penchant for Floris Rose Geranium. The eau de toilette was delivered in bulk to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel under a cloak and dagger alias while she filmed Some Like It Hot. Featuring notes of rose, geranium, citronella and sandalwood, the British eau de toilette has been discontinued and its scent is now only available as a bath essence.

“With one billion monthly users spending almost an hour on Instagram every day, IGTV only stands to increase that number. The brands who will do well on IGTV are the ones who know what kind of content their audiences like and use that information to create relevant, timely and engaging content, retaining viewer attention for longer.”, Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CEO at Socialbakers.

In the few weeks that IGTV has been live, huge brands have been putting out videos and racking up the views. These videos have been effective as they have been editing them in the vertical format, creating content which showcases their brand in the correct way for their intended audience, and taking advantage of the extended run time.

Monetisation of ads on IGTV is still undecided, but with dedication from the viewer to keep watching, in between ads could be a great spot for businesses to get their name in the feed.

Mitos atau kearifan lokal? Berdasar filosofi Jawa, hari Selasa dan Sabtu adalah hari “pamali”, jika melakukan aktifitas yang tidak diperbolehkan akan berulah karma. “Pindah rumah tidak boleh Selasa dan Sabtu, aktifitas perdagangan ramai pun tidak disarankan.

 Di Jakarta ada Pasar Senen sampai Pasar Minggu. Tapi tidak ada yang namanya Pasar Selasa dan Sabtu. "Pasar Senen, Pasar Rebo, Pasar Kemis di Jatinegara, Pasar Jumat itu tempatnya penjual barang bekas atau loak dekat Cililitan, dan Pasar Minggu terletak di daerah Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan.

Hal itu pun dibahas oleh Arkeolog Universitas Indonesia, Candrian Attahiyyat dalam diskusi Pameran Toponomi 'Wall of Frame' Sejarah Betawi di Gedung NAS, Pasar Seni Ancol, Jakarta, Minggu, 1 Juli 2018 yang lalu.

Diungkapkan oleh Candrian, alasannya ternyata lekat dengan kepercayaan orang zaman dulu dan kearifan lokalnya. Orang dulu percaya, kalau kedua hari itu kurang bagus untuk kegiatan ramai. Apapun itu, hingga kini, hanya terdapat 5 harian pasar di Jakarta.

Mengawali Miumosa, beragam cibiran dan sentimen negatif menggerus keteguhan hati. Bagaimana tidak, menggarap pasar niche itu menjadi momok yang nampak menakutkan, tidak populer, membutuhkan investasi yang tidak sedikit, dianggap tidak menguntungkan dalam keberlangsungan usaha, terutama, bagi seorang start up mandiri.  

Jika tidak karena Miumosa itu adalah bentuk nyata inner vision saya dan keyakinan bahwa Miumosa akan menjadi luar biasa di masa yang akan datang, maka mustahil bagi Miumosa tetap bertahan, tumbuh dan terus melakukan inovasi di segala lini divisi usaha.

Hingga suatu ketika, saya bertemu dengan sosok-sosok imaginatif, kreatif dan inspiratif dengan hasil-hasil karya yang otentik dan extra-ordinary, namun berhenti seketika di tengah jalan. Entah karena miss-management, running of capital atau kurang tepat memformulasikan brand nya, membuat rekan-rekan ini kurang mendapatkan ekspektasi yang diharapkan.

Maka tercetuslah ide untuk menjembatani brand-brand start up ini untuk bersatu, berkolaborasi dan bersinergi. Saling menguatkan, memberikan dukungan moriil dan materiil, dan menciptakan peluang usaha yang prospektif. Miumosa memfasilitasi layanan sebagai art-fashion multimedia content provider. Mulai dari brand campaign for Niche Market Goods, mengemas produksi kreatif seperti Photo dan Video Shoot, Iklan komersial, Film-making, Documentary Video, hingga yang sifatnya digital contents.

My eyes seek for Perfections! Pertemuan dengan sosok Ethnicpreneur yang lekat sebagai Bapaknya Kampanye Budaya Kaltim, Anas Maghfur, seraya membuka pintu untuk berkolaborasi. Melalui brand kesohornya AEMTOBE yang fokus mengangkat kearifan lokal Indonesia melalui kain tenun nusantara dengan motif yang tidak biasa, Tabba Malebbi dan Balo Sikko Laa turut memberi nafas dalam koleksi sepatu wanita Miumosa the Heels, yang akan datang.

“Fashion is about change- and I like Change. I do it like I breathe”, as Karl Lagerfeld's wisdom that remains.

The mass shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 people dead has sparked calls for walkouts, sit-ins and other actions on school campuses across the United States aimed at pushing lawmakers to pass tougher gun laws.  

Today, thousands of students across America walked out of their classrooms to participate in the National School Walkout in hopes of raising awareness about gun control and school safety. The images across social media were moving and emotional to see.

17-year-old Brendan Fardella tells, "I’m walking out because I don’t want to be afraid to go to school every day. I don’t want be afraid to walk into a classroom or turn a corner in the hallway."

Then there's the incredibly wise 14-year-old Bridget Tost who said: "Our elected officials are not acting like adults, so now the children must grow up early and compensate for the shortcomings in our government."
