I’ve started writing a fair bit about parenting on this here blog. What started out as initially, would you believe, a place for my food reviews (lol) and things that made me happy (hence the name), then morphed into a beauty blog, sprinkled with travel and random musings. It’s been a number of years, y’all!…
In this day and age (this is almost a ‘back in my day’ moment but this Millennial will continue), as Kim Kardashian West famously said, ‘nobody wants to work anymore’. I think it was also, ‘get your a$$ up and work’ but I digress. Basically, when it comes to work, we want to hack it….
The old saying ‘fake it ’til you make it’ never quite rang true with me. Maybe it’s my standing as a bit of an ‘Honest Abe’ (too much for my own good sometimes!) but I could never quite get on board with faking who you’re meant to be. Hiding it was probably more my style,…
These days, I can only get my toddler to nap in the pram. We used to have such a solid schedule, oh my! I would drop off my older daughter, then my little one would fall asleep in the pram back like clockwork in the morning, and the afternoon would be a solid nap in…
If you know-know, back in the day I used to make a weekly event of finishing up my extensive stash of beauty samples, known as Sample Sunday. It was a hoot, let me tell you! Being in Korea, where ‘service’ (complementary) items are the norm, especially in the high street beauty stores like Skinfood, Nature…

Premium skincare? In this economy?! … is the refrain inside my head most days. Whilst I love me a French brand (L’Occitane and La…
Years ago, our friends had a running joke about my need for “me time”. Yes, I was all over it! And to this day, I do still need it. Not that I get it, but I do crave it. Since then, I’ve learnt more about myself, and understand it’s probably a symptom of C-PTSD and…
I usually start these posts with a title, and then lead on from there. When I say “usually,” I use the term very loosely, as I have not posted here in over a year. And before that, it was choppy! Still, I always find myself coming back to this here blog, whilst also questioning why…
I like to think of myself as a pretty simple gal. Low maintenance is the name of my game (ideally… it doesn’t always pan out this way though). And when I find something I like, I tend to stick to it — like my latest two skincare favourites, the I’m From Rice Toner and Cancer…
