200 Pounds Beauty - Review



200 Pounds Beauty is a Korean movie regarding the popular trend of getting plastic surgery. In Korea, parents gift their children with procedures such as double-eyelid and v-line (jaw) surgery as early as their 13th birthday. In this movie, actress Kim Ah-joong plays an overweight Han-na who wants to be a singer but will never become one, as society would never like a "fat" entertainer. In order to boost her confidence and attempt to follow her dreams, she gets full-body plastic surgery.

Holiday gift giving

Although the holiday season isn't all about giving and receiving gifts, it does put a smile on everyone's faces. I've recently participated in both white elephant and secret santa gift exchanges; while I appreciate every gift that's given to me, I did feel a little underwhelmed. White elephant is based on randomly picking presents, so it makes sense for everyone to get very generic gifts. However, secret santa is usually done within a close group of friends or coworkers. Giving a really generic gift is embarrassing for the person receiving it and also for you for not giving a nice gift. I have been on the receiving end of that many times, so I've come up with some ideas for last minute generic gifts that still show you put some thought into them!
