Sample Sundays: Missha Super Aqua Oxygen Micro Visible Deep Cleanser (Review)

Hi everyone! So we are back with another Sample Sundays, as promised, and today I am bringing you a mini review of a Missha product that I had never used before. To be honest, when I first arrived in Korea, Missha didn’t interest me too much. I thought the lights were a bit glary (they…

My HUGE Empties Video – Part 1!

Hi friends, So after Tuesday’s big post, I wasn’t quite sure how to follow it up and thought I’d lay low for a while. I had actually planned to post something very different that day, but then it didn’t seem appropriate, even in the days following. But I think we’re now all ready to light…

This is What Depression Looks Like

MB Book Club: One Day by David Nicholls (Review)

Hi friends! Today was a rainy, muggy day in Seoul and I gotta be honest – I am missing Krabi. Loads. All of the kids were in the same boat, tired and a bit winsome, missing their holidays but also happy to be back in the jungle school causing mayhem. I did miss them, and…
