Hello friends! So, I’ve been in Korea for almost a year now, and the time has absolutely FLOWN by. I loved this country pretty much instantly and that hasn’t changed. Howeeeeever, there are a few things which can make life slightly difficult for certain expats, and I will try to gently discuss these today in…
Hi folks! I don’t think it even needs an introduction anymore… I have a bit of a thing for Korean cosmetics. Like, a lot. In my defence, there are countless skincare and makeup shops here, and for the unprepared it can be a bit overwhelming at first. As in, you won’t know what to buy…
Hey everyone! Today I want to talk about something a little bit (a lot) lighthearted, and that is… nails! No, I haven’t lost my mind (or brain), I’ve just been slowly absorbed certain Korean mores by osmosis. And the girls here love pretty nails, which isn’t such a bad thing. Don’t hate the playa, nor the…
Hi everyone! After my incendiary but accurate post on life in a Korean hagwon, I received a fair bit of interest and feedback. For this, I thank you! And I also want to take this opportunity to clarify something: despite my perhaps slightly bruising remarks about their education system, I really love Korea. Lest you…
Hey y’all, So lately I have been focusing more on my blog and becoming involved with the blogging community. Although I have done this before, I feel a bit out of touch and am feeling my way back. Blogs in 2014 are different to what they were in the early 2000s, and instead of the…
Hi friends! Depending on where you’re located right now, you could be enjoying a balmy, breezy summer (hello, Melbourne) or perhaps feeling the winter chill. Me, I’m riding the rollercoaster that seems to be a Korean winter. About a month ago, it started getting icy here, but since then it has sometimes actually been quite…
Hey everyone! Good to see you here again, I always appreciate a good click 🙂 So, this past year (as in 2013) I have been decidedly terrible with uploading photos. To Facebook, to my blog, to anywhere. Absolutely terrible. Just ask my friends (*cough* Sehar!) and you will find out. The reason for this is…
Hey folks! Today I have decided to finally write about something that has been taking over my mind (and heart) for a long time now… and that is Korean cosmetics! ^^ For those of you who don’t know, the Korean skincare/cosmetic industry is booming and shows no signs of stopping. When I first got to Korea,…
Hey everyone, I wrote this post last month during big, busy and quite stressful week at school and have waited a while to post it because… well, it’s pretty intense! I have now been in Korea for nine and a half months and it has absolutely flown by. I am truly having the time of my…
Hey y’all! I am currently at Incheon Airport and have ten minutes until my flight starts to board. I thought I’d give you a quick update of my whereabouts, and also let you know that I am SO excited to be home on Australian soil very soon! I arrived at the airport almost two hours…
