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…

Some Hidden Beauty Gems

There are a lot of things I write about on this site: Korean beauty, food, Korean life, Korean hagwons, work, minimalism and depression are but a few. However, today I wanted to bring attention to a few items in my skincare hoard (yep, we’re back on the skincare bandwagon) that have, up until now, been…

Welcome to 2015 (and a surprise announcement…)!

Hi friends, First of all: I know. I have left you stranded for far too long. Trust me, I’ve felt it too. There has been no content on here in a long time, and I have genuinely missed it. Let me fill you in on what’s been happening. First of all, there was Christmas. So, I…

Merry Christmas (or something)!

Whatever the 25th of December means to you, I hope you’ve spent it/will spend it with people you love and food you love to eat. I know I did. In fact, I am just now considering going back for seconds of my mum’s delicious chicken with pistachios and cranberries – so what if it’s 11:15pm?…

How Milk Ruins Your Skin

So I’ve decided to give up milk (again). Now, when I say “give up”, I initially meant it loosely and forgave myself if I ever reneged on this promise. However, after my episode a little while ago where milk completely destroyed my appetite and my body for a good 5 days, I’ve since given up on being easy on…

Video: My November Favourites!

Well would you looky here… I’ve actually remembered to do a Monthly Favourites post on time! With a video and everything. I did film this last week, so there may be some references to future-events (Gav coming home, posts every day) which have already happened (or may have never happened…) so please excuse those. Instead,…

Why I Can’t “Do” Clubbing

Hi friends! … as a quick aside (from what?), I almost mistyped that as ‘hi friend’ (singular) which would have been a rather embarrassing situation. Anyway, welcome! Today’s post is going to talk about why I seem unable to “do” clubbing. It’s become quite the revelation in my life recently, although really I have always known…

Home Cooking in Korea

Hi friends! Today I want to talk to you about something a bit novel for me, and that is cooking. Yes, this is a post where I am going to become a cocky SOB and tell you just how “easy” it is to cook in Korea if you just “try”. Well, I’m not 100% sure…
