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.

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…

My Type of Feminism: Neither Shaken, Nor Stirred

Hey friends, Happy International Women’s Day! Today I thought it would be fitting to touch on something perhaps a bit serious, a bit studious, maybe even a little bit… scandalous?! And that is the often contentious subject of FEMINISM. Run for ye lives lads! Arghhhhh the she-wolves are a-comin’! (*ahem* Just saying what we’re all thinking!…

Some Touristy Things in Seoul I Gone & Done

Hi friends! This week has been a busy one, and a big time of reflection. Yesterday we finished our contracts at school and had the last night with all of us foreign teachers together. Sob! It is a sad/happy time full of nostalgia, so I thought a bit of a look back on the year…
