Natasha Finds: Cute and Easy Origami

Hi Cuties!

It was quite a rainy day today in Auckland, so I decided to search online for cute and easy origami to cheer myself up!


What is origami?

Origami (折り紙) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding,The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.
(Information from Wikipedia)

Obsession of the week: Ulzzang Kids!

Hi Cuties!

This week my sisters and I were spending a boring Monday scrolling down our Facebook newsfeed, when a picture of this ADORABLE little girl posing for a Korean fashion line (I think at least) appeared in front of my screen.

Of course I showed it to my sisters, and they both instantly squealed: "SO CUUUUTEEE!"

Next thing I know, all three of us are googling images of cute Korean kids, or should I say, Ulzzang Kids.

What is Ulzzang?
Ulzzang means "best face" in Korean and the word is used both online and in real life. Basically, an ulzzang is someone who has a very attractive face, but most people use the term to describe people who have become popular for their looks. AKA "mini celebs". 

Here is a list of our Favourites!
