How to Shift Annoying Winter Weight (From Someone Who Knows)

About five years ago, I changed up my complete eating habits and lost about 10kg. That is a lot of weight to lose, and sometimes when I think about it, I can barely believe it. However, it happened, and I really like knowing that I did it all by myself. Just before I left Korea,…

An Introduction to Malaysia

As you know by now, I am currently in Malaysia, sitting, resting and sitting some more. It’s bliss. I loved this country from the moment I stepped off the plane, and it seems to be getting better and more interesting with every day. I know I am incredibly excited, but you know, I feel like…

[Video] My Long-Lost Empties!

Way back in November, right about the time I dyed my hair black, I filmed an empties video. What happened to this video, I hear you ask? Well, I’m not 100% sure. As you are probably aware, my life in Korea became a little bit busy and I couldn’t really think straight and organise myself…

Inside the Life of a K-Pop Superfan

Korea is an amazing place with many things to offer: cheap and efficient public transport, perfectly coiffed, doll-like women, the pungent but amazing wonder food that is kimchi, for starters.

My Current Korean Beauty Favourites

Over the weekend, our school finished our “end of year” show, called the Lovely Party. The ironic thing is that it’s almost anything but lovely behind the scenes, because of the bizarre amount of importance that is placed on it by the “powers that be”. I am personally of the opinion that kids are kids and shouldn’t have to…

My Christmas Lush Haul

A wonderful thing happened over Christmas… yes, I went home to Australia and had an amazing time with my friends and family; yes, I got to put my feet into Woolamai beach and watch a stunning sunset, and; yes, I ate my own body weight in pizza at i Carusi II. I’m not denying any…

4 Ways to Stay Happy in Winter

I have a confession to make: I’m one of those people. Someone who claims, “my favourite season is winter, I just love how fresh and cold and snuggly everything is!”. Now, while this is all true (does it get any snugglier than 6 layers plus a beanie and furry gloves? No, it does not), living…
