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…

[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…

Vlog #3: The Night Before Hagwon

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!…

Vlog #2: First Night in a Love Motel

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…

My Seoul Wishlist

Hi everyone, As you are probably well aware, I am currently living in Korea teaching some mischievous children and having a great time. I’ve gotten into the swing of things here and have my routine, which I always appreciate. We even have a coffee place in our building which we call before we go downstairs to save…

The Thing About Teaching Korea’s Cutest Kindergarteners

Hi friends! I’ve been a bit AWOL recently, and I want to apologise and explain my  recent lack of posts/activity. This past week/month has been a busy one! Ever since the start of this new school year (in March) things have been a bit of a whirlwind. There was the changeover, new (lovely) teachers, then…

What’s In My Shower?

Hi friends! So today I thought I’d give you all a bit of a peek into my shower. Nothing too saucy, sadly. Sozzie! This was initially going to be a ‘what’s in my bathroom?’ post, but then I realised that that would include the shower, cabinet AND the shelving in front of the mirror (a…
