Hi friends! Recently I have been making a few outings to the inner parts of Seoul, notably to Sinsa/Apgujeong area. I looove Garosu-gil with a passion, and it seems that it loves me back. For you see, dear reader, that on the two previous occasions I was strolling along ‘the Paris of Seoul’, I was…
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…
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…
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*),…
Hi friends! So a little while ago I decided to do something wildly unusually for me and buy some more Korean cosmetics. Lolz! This time was actually slightly different, however, as I went to Skinfood in my local Lotte Department. For any of you that don’t know, Lotte is a conglomerate that owns basically everything…
Hi friends! Today brings us the latest in a series of vlogs I started last year, when I first arrived in Korea. This episode is a particularly delirious video filmed the night before starting at my hagwon. It’s so interesting looking back on this because I remember how I felt – and it ain’t how I feel now!…
Hi friends! I wrote a little while ago about my amazement with Bioderma’s Hydrabio H2O in my first monthly favourites. I had never heard about this brand in Australia and it was a bit of a revelation. Korean women seem to love their French brands, so I categorise these (especially L’Occitane) as practically Korean. The way…
Hi there! If you haven’t heard, cushions are all the rage in Korea. No, I’m not talking about those plush, comfy things you throw on your couch (although I am a huge fan of those too). Instead, I am referring to possibly the biggest Korean beauty trend since the BB cream (and subsequently the CC cream)….
Hi friends! If y’all remember this far back, last month I had my first experience with Memebox… and it wasn’t the best. I mean, it was okay, but nothing great. The fact that it had a MASSIVE bottle of Nivea body cream didn’t exactly help matters! However, I decided to jump back into the fire and…
Hi friends! Long time no posts. After coming down with a horrendous virus over the long weekend, I managed to pass the sickness onto Gav so we have been under the weather for a combined week. Not fun! But you will be pleased to know that I am back, stronger than before and most importantly…
