COMFY HAVEN

I love minimalist outfits. What does this mean to me?  When choosing a dress our a top, I am a fan of clean, structured looks that require little to no fuss at all. My style motto is usually "less is more", as a mom I prefer the this approach especially when choosing an outfit in the morning rush. A simple dress, my little hoop earrings or a delicate gold necklace is usually what I prefer to a bold printed blouse and an extravagant necklace or anything I have to mix and match or ponder on for more than a minute. ( But this is just the minimalist me in the mornings). When it comes to fabric I love cotton an linen and tend to lean towards dresses and tops that have some small detail that makes them stand out. I find the weave and texture of linen outfits interesting and fabric itself  cooling in this hot tropical island of mine.  So I constantly lookout for clothes with these detailing, when I find something I like I tend to wear it over and over again. Don't you love clothes like that , that become favorites and almost a part of who you are. So I scoured Etsy to see their choice in linen and wow what a collection I found.  Here are 20 linen outfit perfect in spring and summer for minimalist in you.

Something I  love to do on a weekends is put on a face mask and watch my current favorite K drama. Yes! I have recently become hooked on K dramas, K food and I am currently trying out K beauty. And if you don't know - that K stands for, it's all things Korean.  To be honest I am not interested in 'glass skin' or having skin that looks like a Instagram filter. I would rather use the filter. What I would like to do is bring the best out of my skin. I live in Sri Lanka so when I came across a site called stylekorean.com it was like a k beauty produt wonderland for me. The first thing I looked up was shipping and they ship all globally so I decided to order 4 masks ( to use one a week, that would last me a month). I really liked the fact that the site was geared for international customers and all the information was in English. I chose masks that helped me minimize my pores and brighten my skin. I have dark South Asian combination skin.  I would like to do more detailed reviews of each mask but here is what I got: 1. [THE FACE SHOP] The Solution Pore Care Face Mask - US$2.20  

This is a sheet mask that has a brightening, hydrating, moisturizing, and radiance focus. 2.[So natural] Design Deep Black Clay Mask -US$4 at 50% off

This mask was helps exfoliate dead skin cells and clean pores.  3. [Mediheal] H.D.P Pore Stamping Charcoal Mineral Mask  - US$3.30

This is a pore tightening and sebum control mask , which I hope will be perfect for my combination skin.  4. [Innisfree] Second Skin Mask Sheet Brightening 20g -US$5.99

This is probably the most expensive of the masks I got and the one with the best reviews.  With these masks I got some free sachets of products to try which was fun though they were small. Who doesn't like free stuff.  So here in summary here are the pros and cons of shopping online at Style Korean. Pros:  Value for Money: Good ( got all this for US$22 with shipping) Shipping Cost: Great - US$7.50 ro my home by post Ships to: Globally and to Sri Lanka  Shipping Time: Excellent - got products within 10 days Cons: Some of the masks do not have English translations, so you have to keep referring the site for instructions.
