My Clutter Cleanout Deadline

Hi friends! So now that we are officially in November, the end of my contract is nigh. I never really thought this day would come (and it hasn’t yet…) but it’s certainly on its way. Which has got me thinking, what the heck am I going to do with all of my stuff? We are…

27 Things in My 27 Years

Hi friends! So I started writing this post a while ago and then left it “to sit for a while” (which is a bit of a habit of mine). Twenty-seven is one of life’s big milestones (not), and I thought, what better way to commemorate it than by telling y’all some useless pieces of information about myself?…

My Minimalist Dream

Hi friends! This may come as a surprise to you (or it may not) that I am in the middle of a complete lifestyle change. It has become my life goal to clear the clutter from my life (and house) and to downsize. I never thought I would live like this – and I certainly…

Sample Sundays: feat. Etude House, Skinfood, Tony Moly and more!

Sample Sundays: feat. aromatica, Nature Republic and illi

Hi friends! It’s time for another hybrid Sample Sundays featuring some of my (and perhaps your?) Korean brands. This week I have been working on a few full-sized products (yes, that is my idea of “work”), so I don’t have too many samples to show. However, there are a few things I want to have a…

Sample Sundays: feat. Laneige, The Face Shop, Innisfree & more!

Hi friends, As I wrote last week, this Sunday marks a new era for Sample Sundays (get excited). Instead of focussing on just one product from one brand, my overwhelming stash of samples has forced me to shine a light on a bunch of samples. Because I have far too many. So, today I will…

Sample Sundays: Holika Holika Deep Cera All-in-One Master

Hi friends! Sample Sundays may have been gone for a little while, but it certainly is not forgotten. In fact, I’ve started doing something a little bit radical in my offline life (concerning samples, nothing actually radical)… which I will tell you about at the end of this post! For now, let’s talk about the topic at…

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…
