Intrigue with how the Korean Brides nowadays choose their hair updoes for wedding day?

Let's start here:

1.  So Simple style

For those who watched the korean drama alot, will think that Korean future bride only like this kind of simple style, the tight back hair, sometimes with ribbon hair band or if you get lucky to see a bit of flower or lace accessories.





2. Hair down style with flower

All she did is do a blow natural style and put a natural flower crown


kinda hippie's style but there is nothing hippie with the dress :)



3. The Braid style

Looking back to Joseon history, Korean does have braids as their ancient hairstyle signature for women.










4.  Vintage style for short hair

Classic vintage style is best for short hair like this. Korean bride do prefer this.




5. Princess style

The upper class bride usually like this hair style for their wedding to get their status stands out.



 6. Elegant beauty hairstyle


The delicate updoes hair style with no accessories accept the bridal veil, definitely my favourite hair style for wedding.

Hence, for a woman, definitely going to be one in a life time, so why not get the hair looks totally beauty and exceptional.

With the progression of Korean music industry which attract the world attention, a pretty young man, no longer questioned about their manly men side, as more and more girls and women around the world easily accept the concept of pretty flower boys, that amazingly can be look even more beautiful than the real girls but still keep the manly personality.

South Korea could be one of the country who paid great attention to male beauty products and produce a special cosmetic line for men.

BB Cream, lipgloss, eyeliner, face mist are no more 'alien' stuffs to those who enter the K-Pop industry.  Cleanser, toner, masker, all kind of creams and essences are become a daily weapons for them to keep up their youth and beauty in front of the camera and during fans meeting.




The Korean cosmetics industry also compete promoting their products using these flower boys as their main models. The bigger the name, the fastest the products sold. Actor like Rain (Bi), Kim Hyun Joong, Song JoongKi, or singers like Shinee and EXO, put a tremendous benefits to the company who hired them.


This is the era, where Gotminam really has power not to mention fame and beauty that maybe 20 years ago people wouldn't have dream that it would conquer more than half of population in the world.

The Star Sign or Zodiac is a great way to predict people character and their daily decision in life.

Scrub is very good to lift up the dead skin cell and for other Vitamin or Serum you put on your face and body is absorbing well.

Korean like all natural scrubs, some we can even make it home. Here I compiled some of the info about all natural scrubs that you can make it home.

1. Sugar scrub
This is the easiest one to make, mixed sugar with extra virgin olive oil and raw honey for smoother result, or you can mixed sugar, virgin coconut oil and vanilla essence.  Just make sure you know what your skin type and best ingredients for you.  The white sugar is suitable for sensitive skin. You can make it also with unrefined cane sugar or brown sugar. Mostly to make this scrub, the proportion is 1:1:1 for each ingredient.
for example: if you put 2 table spoons of sugar, put also 2 table spoons of coconut oil and 2 table spoons of raw honey.  But if you put vanilla extract, just add 1 table spoon is enough for nice scents. Add Vitamin E to enrich your skin.

2.  Salt
This sea ingredient is really good to exfoliate your dead skin cell and renew it.  Use fine sea salt to make this scrub, add 1/2 cup of sweet almond oil for every 1 cup of sea salt, drop 5-15 of your favourite essential oil, choose Lavender for relaxing feel, Lemongrass good for refreshing and Rosemary is best for stimulating.


3. Green Tea Sugar
Green tea known with its high antioxidant content and anti-aging effect, it also a good ingredient to make a homemade scrub, combine green tea, granulated sugar and tea tree oil, or you can skip the oil, it's still good to go. Brew your green tea, make 1 cup, let it cool first before you add a 5 full tablespoon of granulated sugar, blend well, add raw honey about 50ml, add 5 drops tea tree oil if you like.


4. Yogurt Canari
Wants a smooth and silky body then try Yogurt Canary as body scrub, yogurt is best for balance the pH+ level on your skin while canary seed is high content of enzymes, vegetable protein, amino acids and great for antioxidants. Get a plain white yogurt in one cup, blend  also one cup canary half smooth, this canary works as the scrubs, add 2 tablespoon of aloe vera gel to get smoother result on skin. All mixed in one bowl, apply to your body regularly, feels a soothing skin as result.


5. Papaya Oat
Papaya commonly used as the base ingredients for whitening skin, rich of Vitamin A, C and E also highly antioxidant. If you live in Asia, this fruit is very easy to find and not too expensive.  Prepare a ripe papaya, clean the seed and mashing it.  Next, get a full 1 cup of plain oatmeal, grind it, then mix it with the papaya mashed, add 3 tbsp of raw honey.



Its important before you do the scrub on your face, you have to make sure that your face is clean first. Apply the scrub, rub it gently~~ again gently on your face, wait 15 minutes then wash your face with lukewarm water, put mild toner and moisturizer for maximum result.

Or if you are too busy to make all the above scrub, you can always buy a natural scrub, my recommendation would be scrubs from Skinfood brand series. Get it online below^^
