Since I started YouTube a little over 2 years ago, I have had so many questions about what gear I use to create my videos. I actually have spent surprisingly little on filming and editing equipment and want to encourage you to start filming even if you only have a camera phone and free editing software.
Read MoreI got a ton of reading done this quarter thanks to the apps Libby and Overdrive, and wanted to share a quick list of them. You can also follow me on Goodreads now (yes, I finally made one^^)
Read MoreEarlier this month I was reached out to by the incredible Leesle, a hanbok designer located in Jeonju, Korea. The design house offers more traditional daily-wear hanbok alongside modern takes on the classic silhouette.
Read MoreThis spring has been rough on my skin, with all the pollutants in the air proving to be pretty happy living deep in my pores where I can’t reach them. Luckily, I’ve found a few ways to combat the air with in home methods and the professional route!
Read MoreThe part of my life that people are most curious about is my job here in Korea. I was incredibly fortunate to find a job as a marketing and social media manager in Seoul (along with a company willing to sponsor my visa and fight with the immigration office on my behalf!) so I wanted to share a bit about my experience.
Read MoreA few weekends ago, I was working on a project that needed more space and light than my tiny apartment could offer. I ended up booking an AirBnb in the Itaewon area that is well known for being a studio for photographers and videographers. The place was so charming that I wanted to share it here in case you need a staycation or studio too :)
Read More2018 was the year that I started my film camera hobby back up after almost a decade of putting it down. Here is a look at what I shot from March to November from Seoul to Norway to California to Osaka :)
Read MoreEarlier this month, Yesstyle was kind enough to send me a bunch of new Korean beauty products (all cruelty-free!) and here are my opinions on what I tried out!
Read MoreMy first taste of Korean literature was almost entirely nonfiction, as I was consuming a lot of content about North Korea during my time at university. When I finally dove into the world of fiction, I came across three authors in particular that I really latched on to and would love to share them with you today!
Read MoreMy boyfriend is not a fan of photos (whether its taking them or being in them) so this video took a lot of persuading. Luckily, he’s been getting more and more curious about my channel as we watched our little community grow, so he felt more comfortable participating - so thanks, guys!
Read MoreCome see what $500 a month will get you living in Daegu, South Korea!
Read MoreMy first experience with Korea was the summer of 2012. I was a junior in college and regardless of the fact that I was a very healthy weight, I was painfully obsessed with my body’s shape and size.
Being insecure about your body causes you to do things that only others suffering the same self hate could understand. Looking at every pair of thighs on the street comparing their size to mine, not even bothering to browse the sleeveless section in stores because I know I’d never show my fat upper arms, and the like.
Read MoreHi guys! Before I start posting about my recent (amazing!!!) Europe adventures, I wanted to share a really cool promotion that is going on with my favorite Korean beauty and skincare brands!
Read MoreHi guys! I've been getting a lot of questions about what books I've been reading lately and I decided to put them all together in an end-of summer book haul of sorts haha! Hope you enjoy and I'd love to know what you've been reading!
In high school, nearly everyone took ceramics as an elective. I, however, decided to take two languages and never got to use a pottery wheel, until about four years after graduating (shudder) and moving to Korea. My boyfriend and I had the opportunity to visit Cheolsu's Pottery Workshop in Itaewon thanks to One More Trip, Seoul Tourism's official site for cultural experiences.
Read MoreIn case you're new here, my love of Haruki Murakami is no secret. My first tattoo was actually inspired by his novel Dance Dance Dance!
So imagine my delight when I found not one, but three cafes inspired by him here in Seoul all within walking distance of each other. Let's take a look at them~
Read MoreUnless you're coming to Korea with a job that sets you up with an apartment, the top worry on people's list before moving to Seoul is how to find housing. I put together a little tutorial for the most popular online real estate service in Korea, Zigbang along with a tour of my apartment that I found through the site!
Read MoreI have had better than perfect vision since I was little, which is pretty lucky considering both of my parents have less than stellar eye sight. So imagine my alarm when I was unable to see things a few feet away from me when I supposedly have 20/15 vision.
Read MoreJune has probably been the month during which I've read the most books in a long time. After my mom let me know about the awesome app that is Libby, I was reading up a storm! While I don't know if I'll ever give up my preference for physical books, I thoroughly enjoyed using my digital library this month and plan to continue! Without further ado, here's what I read in June!
