Looking Forward To Experiencing LUSH Firsthand~! Special Christmas Edition!

short, short update todaiii

A week before Christmas, I'm planning a semi-haul (I'm broke so...) to LUSH! I've never went into the store before, but after watching a few Youtube beauty gurus rave about their products -- especially the fragrant Christmas Edition Ballistics -- I really want to go there and buy two or three little things to pop in the bath!

Give me suggestions for any bath products or bubbles bars you think are super nice smelling and moisturizing on the skin ~

I'll post some of my favorites soon! :)

2NE1 Missing You: YG Interview Confirms My Admiration For This Kpop Group

I've always admired 2NE1 for stepping outside conventional standards for K-pop girl groups to form a revolutionary idea of "strong women" in a culture that constantly sexualizes and objectifies its women. This YG interview that came out after their fall debut confirms this admiration. You go, 2NE1! 
Here is a snippet that particularly touched me.

“I think there’s difference between a song that tops charts and a song that influences people. I hope more people listen to our song, rather than “No.1” place on charts. I want to sing a song that can influence people and can make that kind of songs.” (CL)

The song’s lyrics “I still hate you that you let me go/ My heart now cold is still/ missing him” made each of 2NE1 members get emotional. BOM (29) and DARA (29) even burst into tears while recording the song.

“I thought of the members while singing it. I think each listener feels different.” (BOM) “I thought of the members much, too. And I also thought that our fans would have missed us, too, while singing.” (MINZY)

Here is the the Youtube video.
