Hi friends, As you may or may not know, I am a part of February’s NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) and am trying to uphold my commitment to write a post a day. Crikey! It’s not a hard thing to do necessarily, it’s just that I like to put a lot of time and thought…
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…
Hey folks! Recently my computer has been playing up and sending me all sorts of friendly alerts telling that it’s running out of space and that I really should clear some room on this thing or it will slow down even more than an episode of Mad Men (badum tish!). After weeks of this happening…
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…
Hi friends, Can you believe we are in February already? Crazy! This weekend has been Lunar New Year here in Korea (also known as Chinese New Year) and so I feel it is still an appropriate time to list my New Year’s Resolutions. They may be a bit delayed in Western time, but in this…
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…
Hi friends, As you know by now, I am living in Korea and am OBSESSED with Korean skincare products. I’ve gone a bit overboard and I’m loving every second of it. I have a million to review, but today have decided to review L’Occitane en Provence’s popular Ultra Rich Face Cream for a few reasons:…
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…
