ENDING NOTE:
when translating the brand and product name for the facial mist (sikmoolnara), i actually got search result on google: plantnara.com. i clicked in and guess the expression on my face when i see a website dedicated to selling plants!? HAHAHA i broke a sweat and almost tore out my hair. so there goes my little translating adventure.
