Hey y’all! So those of you that know me (which is most of you reading this right now!), you’ll know that I have a bit of a thing for Korean cosmetics. Like, a lot. I’ve tried, and I’ve tried to break the hold, but to no avail. I just keep coming back for more. There’s something…
When I was teaching English in Korea, I also had to teach elementary school students along with the cute kindergarten kids. This happened in the afternoon, after having taught what felt like a lifetime with energetic (but adorable) young children, and so there often wasn’t much gas left in the tank for these guys. So,…
Y’all know I’ve raved about Skinfood before – and I’m here to do it again. This time, I’m talking about their Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Emulsion, and you’re gonna wanna stick around for this, because it’s goooood.
When I was in Korea, I got really into Gmarket. For any of you that don’t know, Gmarket is a wonderful (online) place where you can make yourself happy by buying things. It’s a wonderful thing, and although I was a slow adopter, I soon learnt of its amazing ways.
Just wanted to give y’all a little update on my life. A few weeks ago, I was really missing Korea. Like, really really. I dragged Gav along to Sunway Pyramid Mall, simply to check out Skinfood and Nature Republic, and I was reminiscing about my adorable students and Korean food and, oh just everything. I…
Recently I made my first order from W2Beauty, and oh my gosh… I have never been more excited to receive something in my whole life. Seriously, we had to get an Uber to the post office, and I was just chomping at the bit. When I got my parcel and saw who it was from,…
If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that recently I purchased a few lil’ goodies from The Face Shop. I detailed here why I was getting back into Korean skincare, after accidentally being on a hiatus from it for about 6 months. Oops. The good news is, this time has allowed me to reinvigorate my…
Hey friends, Can you tell I’ve been missing Korea recently? First this, then this and now this. It’s all getting a bit out of hand, isn’t it? But the reality is that the grass is always greener, distance makes the heart grow fonder and kimchi jiggae ain’t never tasted so good (that’s the saying, right?).
A little while ago I filmed a video (or series of videos – my camera kept dropping out) about my hagwon. It was a pretty difficult time, filled with a lack of communication, undermining and just general deference to the authority of “tiger moms”. I sort of filmed the video to get some stuff off…
About a year ago now, I started writing a post called ‘Tips for Learning Korean’ (or something like that)… and then I never finished it because, well, I never quite got there, did I? Although I lived in Korea for two years, I found that working in an English hagwon wasn’t very conducive to learning…
