Hyuna Reveals Her Real Weight! | KPop Idol Weights 2018

On October 20th, HyunA posted a picture of her on the weighing scales. Sharing her current weight of 43.1kg to everyone. People were confused as to why she decided to post her weight on social media. At the first people thought she was promoting skinniness and weight loss, due to the pressure of the KPop industry being really strict with idol's dieting and weights. But people actually misunderstood her; she later responded in the comments that she gained this weight through healthy eating and exercise.

A post shared by Hyun Ah (@hyunah_aa) on Oct 19, 2018 at 9:19pm PDT

She also said that "Unnie eat lots of delicious food!"

HyunA is trying to show her healthy weight gain as a positive movement. During her Bubble Pop era, she weighed 39kg, so she has managed to get back to her usual weight.

Fans have also said this is a sign of her having 100% control of her body back after leaving CUBE entertainment.

I think her trying to promote gaining healthy weight is much needed for Korea's standard of beauty, not everyone has to fit into a box and change is needed. What do you think?

Banila Co Clean It Zero Sorbet Cleansing Balm - Resveratrol Review | KBEAUTY

Glow Mo UK £22

If I was only allowed to bring one skincare item to a desert island, it would be a good cleansing balm or cleansing oil. It does everything you need - it cleanses away heavy makeup and hydrates your skin for that dewy glow. Perfect for my low maintenance lovelies. Here today I have a Korean Beauty cult favourite, it's one of the best selling cleansers. I took it with me when I was travelling Malta is to test this baby out.

There is 4 variation of the cleansing balm, each is tailored for a different skin type. (The 4th pink one is missing from the picture above) I went for the green one - Resveratrol because I have combination skin that can sometimes get super oily. It's formulated with natural oils, fruit extracts and herbal extract for gentle cleansing.

It comes with 100ml of product in a hugeee ass tub, the packaging is not travel-friendly. I highly recommend you to transfer some into a small container, it was so troublesome getting this past airport security, they thought it went over the 100ml liquid limit because of the tub's size.

Comes with a spatula so that you can easily cut into the balm and scoop out some product. The balm actually has a light green tint (which you can't really see in the picture thanks to terrible hotel lighting) and it smells a little like a melon.

It has a sherbert-like texture that melts into an oil when you massage it into your face. The oil becomes milky when you add water to it to rinse it off. I love massaging my face with this, it feels soooo nice! A little goes a long way, so a tub will last you for ages. I also use this as my eye and lip makeup remover because I'm too lazy to use 2 separate products just to remove my makeup. It does a good job, it even melts away my waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Be careful not to get it inside your eyes though, it doesn't sting but it makes your vision blurry.

Pros

Gentle to the skin
Does an amazing job melting all traces of makeup
Easy to rinse off and doesn't leave any oily residue
Great for massaging your face with
Leaves face feeling super clean and moisturised after
Didn't break me out

Cons

Packaging is bulky, would be great if they did a smaller travel size

Overall it's a really good cleansing balm and I can see why everyone loves it! My lazy ass loves this because I can carry fewer products with me. My skin feels super clean and really supple every time I use it. I really appreciate it doesn't leave any greasy residue behind, some cleansing oils do and it breaks me out!

Have you tried anything from Banila's Clean It Zero series?

KPop Diet #16: Lee Guk Joo's Konjac Diet - LOST 6KG IN 2 WEEKS!

Lee Guk Joo is a highly popular comedian/gag woman, you may have seen her on many Korean reality shows (if you watch them ^.<). On KBS 2TV's Emergency Escape 1, she revealed on a episode that she went on the Konjac Diet and lost 6kg in 2 weeks!

So what is this Konjac diet that GukJoo speaks of?

Konjac is a root food that has been used for thousands of years for weight lost in Japan. Konjac has almost zero calories so it acts a brilliant filler. You can eat as much konjac as you want throughout the diet, so you won't experience any hunger and can enjoy a full meal with fewer calories. Konjac is suitable for everyone as it's gluten free, 100% natural and non allergenic. It's commonly found in a noodle or cube form.

Konjac also provides many health benefits!

It supports insulin resistance, so helps to control blood sugar levels. Great for diabetics.
Helps to cleanse the digestive systems and is effective against digestive troubles as 70% of Konjac is made of up non irritating fibres.
Lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels

You can find many Konjac meal recipes online, most of them are super easy and quick to cook!

Would you try out this diet and what do you think of it?

Do You Like Messi? #MessiChallenge | Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

Just a little study break and because I love the Korean Drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (역도요정 김복주) so much, I decided to do the Messi Challenge and see if it works~ The Messi Challenge was all over my Twitter feed and Messi was even trending on Philippines's Twitter. Nice work guys! ^.< Story / Drama Scene behide the Messi Challenge:

If you want a more detailed understanding of the story then I recommend you to read AsiaStarz article - Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo’ fans trend ‘Messi’ on Twitter. Or you should just watch the drama ASAP, if you're not already! Some of you may be like wtf and are asking to the same question as Joon Hyung (Nam Joo Hyuk)...

anddd... I think it would be quite funny if Messi ever found out that people were asking their crushes if they like him~ :')

Have you watched Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo? ^^ and of course the main thing I want to know - have you asked your crush if they like Messi yet? xD

KPop Diet #15: T ARA's Hyomin So Crazy Comeback Diet

You can't deny how amazing T-ARA's body figure looks in their most recent So Crazy MV. Hyomin shared on her Instagram (@hyominnn) the diet she was on whilst preparing for the comeback.

Instagram: @hyominnn

The diet includes cucumber, sweet potatoes, eggs and watermelon.

Instagram: @hyominnn

In the second photo, she has chilli sauce instead of watermelon. She also practised choreography along side the diet. I think she probably ate this for breakfast and lunch. As a dinner it has way too less calories (but then again Kpop idols do go on super extreme diets ;__;).

Would you ever try this diet? Lemme know in the comments below~
I'm quite tempted to try it out but knowing me, I will not last longer than a few hours. xD

KANG GARY - GET SOME AIR + 2002 Tracklist

I just finished watching the latest episode of Running Man - TruGary Show Returns. The more I watched it, the more it hit me in the feels (rather than me usually having a good laugh) because Gary was so desperate to escape the deserted island so that he could finish recording his new album - 2002. It just made me want to give him a hug! TwT" and it made me really admire how hard working, determine and sporting he is. I do think it's sweet the PDs made this episode to support Gary and promote the album; the ep aired on 20.09 which gave viewers a snippet of Get Some Air just the day before Gary released the MV and 2002.

There are 10 tracks in the album; he worked really hard and put his soul into it for a year and half to create this perfection~

개리 1집 – 2002
Release Date: 21.09.2015

Tracklist:

01. 어차피 잘 될 놈 (루져 날다) (feat. Koonta)
02. 둥둥 (feat. Skull, Deepflow)
03. 엉덩이 (feat. 박재범) *Title
04. 랩해 (feat. DJ Pumkin)
05. 바람이나 좀 쐐 (GET SOME AIR) (feat. MIWOO) *Title
06. MUSHI MUSHI (feat. 박명호, Double K, Don Mills)
07. 뚝방의 꿈 (feat. 존 박)
08. SHIPAPA (feat. 정인, MIWOO)

What do you think? ^^ anddd have you watched any new KDrama recently that you recommend? I haven't been keeping up ooppss >//<

KPop Inspired Hair: G Dragon Crayon Blue and Pink Ombre Hair

It's that time again where I get my roots touched up~ I guess you could say I was ridiculously spontaneous this time because damnnn my hair looks like its been attacked by Crayola. Which reminded me of G Dragon's Crayon era hair~ Look at the similarity, it's like GD's Crayon Hair (but) Female Version yer yer yer~

I've received a mix response so far, some think my hair is "cool and unique", while others were like "wtf have you done to your hair." xDD I was like wtf myself too when I saw the finished results, so I decided to take the blue further down so that the blue will be more noticeable and the blending will be more eye pleasing. Ta-da~ the final results~ ^.^

Loving this a lot more and I think it looks pretty badass~! Now that my hair is technically half blue and half pink, my friends kept on saying it looks like "cotton candy" .___. Maybeee, personally I think it looks like blue and pink fizzy cola bottles. :') New inspiration ayeee~

Still got the GD vibes doe~ 8D

What do you think of my new hair? :') A bit too crazy or do you like it? ^.^
