Sample Sunday feat. illi, Malin + Goetz and a few friends
Today has just been one of those days: I’m a bit sick, feeling sorry for myself and decided to make it all better by watching Mean Girls. You’ll be happy to know it worked. You go, Glen Coco!
I’m Falling in Love With Korean Skincare All Over Again
Hey friends, Can you tell I’ve been missing Korea recently? First this, then this and now this. It’s all getting a bit out of hand, isn’t it? But the reality is that the grass is always greener, distance makes the heart grow fonder and kimchi jiggae ain’t never tasted so good (that’s the saying, right?).
We’re Heading to Cambodia Today!
Well I’ve been a bit sneaky about this one, haven’t I?! Today Gav and I are heading off to Cambodia for a few short days, and I couldn’t be more excited. This is a country that I’ve never been to before, yet I’ve heard so many positive things about it. We are going to Siem…
Video: The Truth About Hagwons
A little while ago I filmed a video (or series of videos – my camera kept dropping out) about my hagwon. It was a pretty difficult time, filled with a lack of communication, undermining and just general deference to the authority of “tiger moms”. I sort of filmed the video to get some stuff off…
KL Cuisine #2: Yeast Bistronomy, Bangsar
Yesterday Gav and I had a luxurious Sunday, despite him being sick and me also seeming to have caught his cold. Wild times! We remedied our situation by treating ourselves to brunch, and thought we would check out Yeast Bistronomy in Bangsar Village. A friend had recommended this to us and we were curious to…
Sample Sundays feat. Holika Holika, Innisfree & More!
It’s that time again! Do you want to see me rummage through my trash and present my opinions of it to you? DO YOU? Well get ready for action because here! we! gooo! (This is actually only a half joke – I do get very excited about samples. Why wouldn’t I? They’re amazing!)
Video: A Long List of Empties!
Hey y’all! So last year while I was still in Korea, I finished up a million products and hoarded them away like a normal person. I then proceeded to film an Empties video… which I never uploaded. Until today!
I Am Officially Determined to Learn Korean
About a year ago now, I started writing a post called ‘Tips for Learning Korean’ (or something like that)… and then I never finished it because, well, I never quite got there, did I? Although I lived in Korea for two years, I found that working in an English hagwon wasn’t very conducive to learning…
Video: 5 Things I Miss About Korea
I know I talk about it a lot, but I lived in Korea for two years and loved it. Yes, it can be a bit foreign sometimes and you probably won’t understand a lot of what is going on (or is that just me?). But even though I am over here loving Malaysia, I really…
My Clarins Lineup
Back when I went to Melbourne, I was a bit spend-happy at the airport. This resulted in me buying not one, not two, but four duty-free “specials” at four different points in my journey (Incheon departures, mid-flight to Melbourne, Melbourne departures, mid-flight to Incheon). Yep, I was seriously committed. As a result, I now have a number of…
