Best Beauty Clinics and Treatments in Busan, South Korea

Image
Over the past three years, I have been exploring different laser clinics and dermatologists in Busan, South Korea! For me, I have found it challenging to find laser clinics that have the latest technology to deal with darker skin tones since IPL lasers can leave scars and increase chances of hyper-pigmentation. Remember that when doing these treatments, don’t go to the Saunas or take hot showers 1 week before, no body scrubs days before and after, no drinking the night before, do shave the day before your appointment, and avoid the sun or tanning.

Have you been wondering about trying veganism but do not know how to begin? Or, are you already vegan but want some new ideas for recipes and other tips?! Well I have recipes and some interesting information for you! Why Even Go Vegan? Besides helping you slim down to reach your health and body goals for the new year, there are other benefits to going vegan! I remember starting out, one of my friends was a vegetarian and I would try some of her dishes when we would get together. Experimenting with a meatless diet occasionally and researching more about the food industry eventually led me to go all the way as a vegan. In the beginning, it was a lot of trial and error since you really have to pay close attention to the ingredient list! It was an eye opener to read the types of things they put in our food. Now, I practice veganism most similar to #7-10. Here are some reasons to try a 30-day Vegan Challenge: Awareness & Nutrition From experience, when I first starte...
