Just like the original Tsubaki hair mask, but better! Beautiful camellia scent and the packaging is so demure, so cutesy! Cons: This one is more pricy, it's the pink tax :,)

The other viral hair mask that is really good for detangling hair but I would say this one is better for shine, Fino is better for feel. Buy this one if you have low porosity hair!

Posture is one of the most overlooked parts of fitness. In an era of smartphones and desk jobs, the risk of developing bad posture is so high. Her workouts are super simple, relaxing, and help straighten you back and shoulders!

Nails/Nail Biting

Wonyoung has long, slender hands with healthy nails. This component really hits close to home because I suffered from biting my nails on and off for years. I finally quit a year ago, and these are the things that helped/how I do my nails now.
