A little while ago, a new Korean beauty store called Q-Depot contacted me to review a few products from their website. I’d never heard of them before, but Shah (their representative) was lovely and I always love to support newcomers! Plus, who can say no to Korean beauty products?! (Not I, that’s for darn sure.) I…
Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while but Sample Sundays is finally back! Yes, I can hear you breathing your collective sighs of relief and trust me, I’m as excited as you are! To be honest, a big part of the reason I started this series was to make sure I actually use some of…
Hi friends, Right now it is spring in Korea and it is glorious (when it’s not raining). After the brutal, subzero winter we had (it was no polar vortex, but still), I feel comfortable telling the world that it is increasingly lovely over here (most of the time). Although it is often dusty (*cough* thanks China *cough*),…
Hi friends! I am back with another edition of Sample Sundays, this time featuring Skinfood’s one and only Black Sugar Mask Wash Off! This is a bit of a Holy Grail product among Korean skincare fans, and I am (slightly) ashamed to say I hadn’t tried it until this week. How is this even possible!?…
Hi friends! Today I wanted to write a simple, honest rave review about one of my favourite Korean products. As you well know, I love Nature Republic and I’m pretty sure I always will. A love this strong has to be undying, right? Over the weekend, Etude House was having a sale, and I happened…
Hi friends! I am writing this from my desk at work, where we are currently ‘deskwarming’/sitting around perusing the internet and chatting amongst ourselves for a few hours on a Wednesday morning. Working at a hagwon, I am not used to this much free time and I don’t quite know what to do with myself!…
Hi friends! I am still in the throes of moving house, and have been hit with a hard (obvious) realisation: I have way too much stuff. Considering I came over here with one suitcase full of things, and I have now wheeled over at least four suitcases’ worth (back and forth, back and forth)… it’s…
Hi folks! I don’t think it even needs an introduction anymore… I have a bit of a thing for Korean cosmetics. Like, a lot. In my defence, there are countless skincare and makeup shops here, and for the unprepared it can be a bit overwhelming at first. As in, you won’t know what to buy…
Hi everyone! After my incendiary but accurate post on life in a Korean hagwon, I received a fair bit of interest and feedback. For this, I thank you! And I also want to take this opportunity to clarify something: despite my perhaps slightly bruising remarks about their education system, I really love Korea. Lest you…
