From Girlybubble: What is sexier than being a 25-year old who uses a kawaii baby chick-shaped body wash mitten? Nothing. Body wash mittens have always been intriguing to me, but I never had the chance to pick one up until I saw that YesStyle was carrying these super cute Kokubo body wash mittens from Japan in different animal shapes — baby chick, seal and turtle.

From Ningin: BoA, the epitome of beauty should be no surprise to own most of the best beauty commercials.
