KPop Diet #9: 2YOON 24/7 Diet

A healthy and not extreme KPop diet I have found. ^_^
However theres not much information on it. >.<

Gayoon lost 8kg (17.6 lbs) during the 2YOON promotions. The diet they were on, was done alongside exercising. She stated that "If you dance '24/7' just two times, you start sweating a lot."

Lunch: Sweet potatoes and boil chicken breast everyday

Exercise: 24/7 dance routine twice or more and aerobic exercises

Here is a video of the live performance, so you can see the 24/7 choreography

Do You Have Ideal KPop Leg Measurements? (SNSD)

I've always wanted slimmer legs. >.< I came across SNSD's Jessica and Tiffany's leg workout routine which they did on StarKing back in 2010. So i'm super late!

Tiffany's trainer mentions "ideal leg measurements" which is 5-3-2 (50's-30's-20).

► To find measure your legs:

Measure the thickest part of your thigh (5)
Measure the thicket part of your calves (3)
Measure the smallest part of your ankle (2)

If you want slimmer legs, you could try out Tiffany's 532 Leg workout. Demonstrated in this video.

But just for fun, do you have ideal kpop leg measures? ^__^

Of course your height plays a role too, so don't be too harsh on yourself! Everyone has different body types, thus different leg proportions. People with shorter legs, will likely be less then 5-3-2.

My measurement is: 53-34-19

Height: 163cm / 5"3

My ankle is close~ Tell me in the comments below what your measurements are? ^__^

Hairstyle Update #1: Long Bob / Sulli's hair

After all the bleaching i've done during last week and in the past, my hair was ridiculously damaged. My hair has never been this damaged before, so I went to the hairdressers to get a trim. I asked for 3 inches to be cut off, so that I could grow out the damage and cut it off over time. However my hairdressers cut off more hair than I expected, 6/7inches. I genuinely thought my hairdressers was joking when she said she would chop off all the damaged ends (the ends of my hair has been bleached over 8 times) and well... she actually did cut it off. .___. So now my hair is short, I would describe it as a long bob. Since it doesn't touch my boobs and its longer than shoulder length.

This is what it looks like~ (after I curled it ^^)

You may have seen it on my Instagram, since I didn't update my blog for a week and now I am slowly back tracking posts~

I was quite sad at first; had my little cries on Facebook and Twitter haha. But hey hair grows back, so its not the end of the world~ I haven't had this length hair since I was 12/13, so I guess its a nice unexpected change. I think this hair style looks really cute curled and that it suits my blonde well. I know the extra heating from curling isn't good, but I don't think I can put off this hair style straight.

My new hairstyle also reminds me of F(x)'s Sulli's hair ^^

Oh btw my hair before I got my hair cut~ so you can see how long and damaged it was before >.<

So have you changed your hairstyle recently or dye it? ^__^

Superdrug Colour Performance Permanent Dye - 8.1 Medium Ash Blonde Review

To even out all the bleaching i've done and to make my hair look more presentable, I'll be using a ash blonde dye. I picked up Superdrug's Colour Performance Dye in the shade Medium Ash Blonde, as it looks very similar to the Garnier Nutrrisse - Lighest Ash Blonde one i've tried and because it was on sale for £3.00. xDD

The box contains:

An instruction leaflet
Gloves
Colour cream
Developer cream
Intense colour conditioner

When I opened the box, I thought the packaging of the bottles and tube were very cute. xD Anyway to start the process; I mixed the dye together by squeezing the colour cream 1 into the developer cream 2 and then shook the bottle for a minute or 2. Then started applying it to my hair, in sections. The dye contains ammonia, so there is a strong ammonia smell, but it's bearable. The consistency of the dye is runny, but it doesn't trip. Making it easy to saturate the dye throughout the hair. Once done, I tied my hair into a bun and placed a plastic bag over my head to let the dye develop for 30 minutes.

Once it was developed, I rinsed my hair with shampoo and then used the intense colour conditioner. The conditioner smells very nice, it left my hair feeling soft and pluffy, which I love! I couldn't stop touching my hair because it was that soft. There is a generous amount of conditioner, which should last around 5 or more usage.

(Nasty damaged) hair before the dye:

Results after dye:

A very happy girl with the results! ^__^

I love the results! The colour its even and very natural looking. It covered up the brassiness and gave my damaged bleached hair some life. I have received many complements with this colour, even my hairdressers loved the colour~ ^^

Pros:

Natural looking and vibrant colour
Easy to use
Even coverage
Does not damage hair
Affordable
Comes was a great conditioner (and a good amount of conditioner)

Cons:

Contains ammonia (creates a strong smell, some may not like)

Rating: 9/10

Would I repurchase?

Definitely! Affordable and offers beautiful results~ I want to try more! and see if their other shades will offer such nice results too. ^^

Would I recommend it?

Definitely! I'm pretty sure, this is the highest rating i've given to an hair dye. The love the results so much, if only my camera could capture the full beauty of the colour. >.< Very easy to apply, I had no problems at all with this dye. I couldn't think of any cons except for it containing ammonia. xDD I hope that lovely as he tones will last long~ ^^

Have you tried any of Superdrug's own brand dyes? If so, what do you think of them? ^_^

Smart Beauty Smart Blonde High Lift and High Lightener & Platinum Blonde Toner Review

For the second bleaching of my hair I went back to using my Smart Beauty bleach. This also links back to my Gatsby Ex Hi Bleach Review I wrote months ago (this is the part 2 as to how I got my hair blonde).

Although I do try other bleaches once in a while, I am quite loyal to Smart Beauty's bleach and have been using them since 7/8 years ago. So I always have them stocked in my house. Superdrug is currently selling them for half price £2.45, so yes I did empty the selves. >.< Starting on the review~
