Ddung Dolls

Ddung dolls are huge in Korea. They're tiny (the biggest ones are about 5 inches tall). I know if there was a Ddung store near me, I would be a collector! They are the cutest thing! The closest thing I can compare it to are Beanie Babies here in the US. Just like they retire Beanie Babies, they do the same with the Ddung dolls, which make them more collectible. They kinda remind me of our Little Seouls characters, don't you think? Check out the Ddung website!

We've got Hanskin BB Cream!

What is a BB cream?

The BB cream is the hottest trend in beauty products right now in Asia. The product was created in Germany and used by dermatologists to help patients soothe and regenerate the skin after laser skin surgery. Soon after, Korean celebrities started using the cream and a craze was born. Cosmetic companies then took the idea and created what is now the BB Cream phenomenon. The reason why the cream is so popular is that it is suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive and acne-prone skin. It's a makeup and skincare product in one. It can actually improve the overall texture and diminish acne scars after prolonged use. It also acts like a foundation without the heavy caked-on look.

The BB cream is similar to tinted moisturizers but the difference is that BB cream give better coverage and has all the benefits such as healing, concealing, moisturizing, whitening, soothing skin tone imperfections and sunscreen.

Hanskin was the Original creator of the BB Cream in Korea and has won many awards, including the Brand of the Year 2007 and the World Prestigious Brand Award in 2008.

Towel Cakes for Baby Showers

My friend recently had a baby shower at a Tea Room and she used towel cakes to decorate the table. The towel cakes were also used as a party favor. Aren't they cute with the floral tag?

Blanket Vest 이불조끼

For the past year, Korea has been into these blanket vests (literal translation). They're like the sleep sack but they open up at the bottom but has a button on the bottom so it stays put. Makes for easy diaper changes! Kids of all ages wear this to sleep. Great for the summer since it's light yet keeps your babies warm.
