I just wanted to vent a little bit about my process of being a better communicator as a business owner.
Is it because I'm eastcoast? Is it because I am half Korean and half Black? Why am I so spicy? Where do I go wrong in this good communication model? What are my communication barriers? How do I not clothesline someone when I am upset? How do I remain calm and diplomatic? I just yell sometimes and I really shouldn't. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I take things personal sometimes. Ugh! It is hard being a human, a woman and a business owner.

I was looking for some inspiration and found some in the traditional Korean dress called a Hanbok. A Hanbok is usually worn as a semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. I rarely think about hanboks, so my only reference about them are from folk times and what I was introduced to when I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Here are some pictures from a Korean Vogue. I love Vogue for their photoshoots, which always grab my attention because of the colors and details. I never thought about taking the hanbok to the next fashion level. My memories were dated and I never thought about how hanboks could be translated by contemporary/modern designers. Who would have thought of all the possibilities and color combinations? Here are just a few more that I love! These are so beautiful but the next group of photos are my ultimate because I love couple photo shoots AND because they feel vintage inspired.
Most Americans just take a quick shower... But Korean people painstakingly scrub the dirt from their bodies. I am recommending that everyone visit a Korean bath house/spa/sauna and have a first hand experience on cleaning the Korean way! Koreans are serious about bathing, it is an integral part of Korean culture, it's a source of relaxation,well-being and socialization. Korean body scrubs leave your skin as soft as a baby’s. You literally get layers of dead skin, DIRT, removed from an "italian towel". Italian towels are rectangular, coarse bath mittens. Most people think they feel too strong for the skin, but there’s nothing quite like them. My boo screams every time I scrub him... squirming like a worm in the bath tub. Scrubbing someone else's back shows how much you care for them. Growing up my mom would call me into the bathroom all steamy and hot, I would sweat profusely and scrub her back until it was bright red. When you look around the bath house, you can see many people sitting down on plastic seats and washing themselves, rather than standing at the showers. This is because they are "scrubbing off the dirt" from their bodies. It is quite the process. Sauna rooms are made from different materials, such as yellow earth, minerals, precious stones and salt, with the theory that, as you sweat, your body releases toxins and wastes and absorbs good energy and minerals from each room. So if you are ready to try out the Korean bath house be prepared to get this scrubbed off your whole body.
