New Korean Skincare Brand: Hello Glow

To those who've been following me, you probably know that I'm a big skincare junkie and I have great bias to Korean brands. Majority of Korean brands use natural, safe, and harsh-free ingredients to help achieve our skin goals. Glad to discover a new player in the market called Hello Glow, with sets for every skin concern.

Hello Glow is made in Korea and has a complete line of affordable skin care products that are vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, and SLS-free.

Experienced cooking with the Smart Oven® Air Fryer and I'm so amazed with the results! I actually made a Youtube video so you can see the full process, hope you can watch it!

✓ Korean Chicken Wings - that perfect color, though? So amazing!

All these are known to be deep-fried, but we totally skipped the oil and achieved amazing results!
