Complete Your K-Pop Look with the Right Hairstyle

To me, if you really want to own that K-Pop look, you need to do 5 things well:

1. Have that K-Pop sexy face (nose, eyes and jawline)
2. Have those stylish K-Pop clothes
3. Have that professional K-Pop talent (singing & dancing)
4. Be single -- nothing dampens your fan base like a ring!

The coolest hairstyles always start with a good haircut. For South Korean K-Pop hair, you'll want to grow to some length and then go to a stylist with a picture of your favorite K-Pop personality's hairstyle you like. A good stylist will adapt the style to suit your body, hair and face shape.

Getting the cool, spiked up hair that male K-Pop idols favor is all about layers, thinning hair and assorted angled cuts. These beautiful yet artsy haircuts often result in jagged spikes and stiff hair. Asymmetrical cuts are popular as well.

If you wish to emulate those sexy K-Pop girls in Korea there are many awesome hairstyles you can try.

You can start by simply accentuating the beauty of your current look by cutting your hair in any style that frames your face. Try adding streaks of color or dye it all a bold platinum and viola -- you'll soon have that one-of-a-kind K-Pop look.

Whether you want to have your hair short, medium or long, you have many options to select from. If you'd like to keep your current hair length, styling with soft bangs can make a quick new look for you.

For a little Korean glamour, add some waves or layers that make your hair look more solid. You can dye hair beautiful brown color, and add some highlights to make it look trendy.

If you want to keep your hair easy to manage, try a soft short bob or a spiky drop. A fringe hairstyle is another K-Pop look you may want to try.

In need of a more formal hairstyle? Just pin your hair up.

Over 40 Woman Embracing Upper Arm Surgery

According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, upper arm surgery is one of the fastest growing plastic surgery trends in the Unites States.

While not nearly as popular in South Korea, the procedure, which is called brachioplasty, addresses the condition referred to as bingo wings. Bingo wings is that gross, flabby skin which hangs down between ones elbow and shoulder. Yes, excess fat that won't seem to go away.

Statistics show that 15,000+ women got an upper arm procedure performed in 2012, which is an increase of over 4,000% since the year 2000. Now that sure seems like an upward trend!

A poll commissioned by The American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that Americans admired the following five woman with fit arms:

Michelle Obama (31%)

Jennifer Aniston (29%)

Jessica Biel (16%)

Kelly Ripa (13%)

Demi Moore (11%)

Yes, most of these famous people are over 40 years of age, exactly the time in life when years of rapid weight gain, weight loss, and the aging process finally catch up with us.

So are you a candidate for upper arm surgery? Perhaps you or your mother or aunties are interested in getting a combo package -- something like a face lift, tummy tuck and upper arm surgery all at once. Well, anything is possible. Just inquire!

Your Game Plan for Living A Beautiful Life

Every woman deserves to look and feel beautiful. Men do too! But what does it truly mean to live a beautiful life?

We know that the secret to happiness is seeing the beauty in the world around us -- both on the outside and on the inside.

For some people, beauty is like an ancient spring that's an eternal source for strength, health, relaxation and radiance. All a person needs is to learn is how to tap into this spring to realize its powerful benefits.

However, some people cannot easily touch the beauty spring. Some have emotional issues that must first be addressed before they can truly see themselves. Some are not happy with their physical appearance. To move forward, to be open to what is possible, a prescription to being beautiful must first be diagnosed and treated through loving conversation, introspection and thoughtful recommendations by those who care.

It is our hope that this website grows into a lyrical poem of text, images and allegories that showcase the science and spirit of beauty. We plan to post an appealing array of luxurious, soothing, and energizing tips, advice and personal stories about psychological and physical wellness. From understanding beauty products, to proofing K-Pop culture, to in-depth looks into cosmetic surgery procedures, to providing practical advice for living in the now.

Our goal is to help men and women develop a game plan for living a beautiful life.

Fat Grafting Explained

Fat grafting is a safe and common treatment used to augment sunken areas in the face with your own fat cells. Compared to dermal filler injections, it is longer-lasting and more cost-effective especially for large volume areas.

Fat is typically extracted from a person's buttocks, abdomen, thigh and injected into the desired areas of the face. The injected fat will be partially absorbed in the first three weeks post-surgery and this absorption normally continues for 3 months after. Any unabsorbed fat will remain permanently in the new areas.

Anesthesia required: Topical and sleep

Recovery time: 5~7 days (no pain. Swelling will be gone as time goes)
