Cleaning Out (and Using Up!) My Ridiculous Beauty Stash

Hi friends! As I mentioned in this post, I am currently undergoing a transformation of sorts. Namely, going from hoarding everything under the sun to trying to get rid of all my wordly (particularly beauty-related) possessions. To be honest, I have reached the point of oversaturation which has led me to, unfortunately, become a little bored…

MB Book Club: One Day by David Nicholls (Review)

Hi friends! Today was a rainy, muggy day in Seoul and I gotta be honest – I am missing Krabi. Loads. All of the kids were in the same boat, tired and a bit winsome, missing their holidays but also happy to be back in the jungle school causing mayhem. I did miss them, and…

I Think I’ve Died and Gone to Thailand

Hi friends, I am writing this to you from my plush, enormous bed in a Krabi resort. I promised myself I wouldn’t be smug in this post, except I’ve already broken that promise (and I didn’t actually make that promise anyway… uh oh). But in my defence, I am completely in awe of this place called…

What a Stolen Wallet Means to Me

Hi friends, So on Saturday I decided to go out with my friends in Hongdae. For the uninitiated, Hongdae is quite the initiation. It’s the trendy university area of Seoul and at night it gets grungy and messy and overrun with both Korean and foreign night owls alike. Considering it takes me an hour to get…

The Liebster Award!

Hi friends, So a little while ago I was kindly nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Rose. She runs a super cute blog which features a lot of Korean cosmetics (to my utmost delight). For any of you that don’t know (including me, until I received Rose’s message), the Liebster Award is basically…

Sample Sundays: Nature Republic Super Origin Tinted CC Cream (Review)

Hello stranger! I know I’ve been away from these parts for a while… and I’ve missed it. To be honest, I’ve been experiencing a bit of a profound transformation regarding my hoarding ways. It finally hit me that the amount of stuff I have is not only ridiculous (I have no problem with that) but…

[VIDEO] My (Very Belated) May Favourites!

Hi friends, Since I’ve been here in Korea, it has come to my attention that I like to buy stuff. So much that I have in fact put myself on a serious* spending ban lasting at least until my birthday. Except that my birthday is on July 15th, which is only in a few weeks……

A Short Guide to Living Like a Korean

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*),…

The Struggle of My Life

Hi everyone, So today I thought I’d talk about something a little bit deeper than beauty products and food. Don’t worry, they will be back with a vengeance (obviously) but as you can probably tell from the title of today’s post, this is about something a little different. I’m not quite sure how to start…

VIDEO: My First (Filmed) Nature Republic Haul!

Hi friends! Long time no see, eh? Sorry I’ve been a bit AWOL (again)… in actual fact, I’ve been plotting this post for a while now because it’s something a bit special: my first Nature Republic haul video! As y’all well know, I have had many a haul in my holy grail Korean store, but…
