I’m turning 45 in December. I no longer have the time or patience for a 10-step skincare routine. I’ve found what works well for me, and I’ve stuck to it for the past year. And my skin still looks pretty good for my age — very minimal fine lines and the occasional breakout. The biggest thing […]
As a self-proclaimed geek, it’s a give-in that I incorporate technology into my skincare routine. There are three devices I have been rotating regularly, and they are: the NuFACE Trinity (with Eye and Lip Enhancer attachment), the Light Salon Boost LED Face Mask, and the Medicube Age-R Ussera Deep Shot. The NuFACE Trinity is the […]
Remember when I imagined curating my own Asian beauty box? Well, that dream has become a reality! Shortly after publishing that post, my friend Sunny reached out to me with a proposal: why not form a Korean beauty subscription box service? At first, I wanted to laugh. This had to be a joke, right? But the more […]
During the Korean War, Korean artist Woonbo Kim Ki-chang began a series of ink paintings depicting the life of Jesus using his own country as the backdrop. “I was praying for the quick end of the Korean War and a unified peace, and soothed my painful mind with a paintbrush,” he later said. Kim passed away in […]
Yesterday, my friend Jacinda joked that she needs a Geek in Heels beauty subscription box. I was super flattered to receive the comment, and it got me thinking about what I’d include in a box if I could curate one… The problem lies in the fact that I’d include too much! The box would cost […]
Let’s start the week off with some product reviews, shall we? Whamisa Organic Flowers Creamy Foam Cleanser I had been eyeing this item for a while because I ❤ Whamisa products and I had read some especially good things about the cleanser. I picked up a bottle when Glow Recipe was having their July 4th weekend sale, and WOW […]
A few weeks ago, Korean beauty e-tailer Peach & Lily reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in trying some of their products. Um…yes please? For, you know, *cough cough* research purposes. Can I have them all? All kidding aside, I have shopped from P&L in the past and I love their product offerings. And […]
I’ve been battling some health issues as of late. And with the addition/subtraction of various meds and therapies in an effort to properly treat the problems, I’ve predictably been in a bit of a funk. I’ve made no efforts in the past to hide my struggles with depression, and I am not about to now. However, at […]
Once upon a time (from the time I first got into Kpop as a teenager, and all through my twenties before popping out my fist kid at the age of 29), I used to stalk the top Kpop tunes on Naver Music and Mnet Chart every week. Before YouTube was a thing — yes, I’m that old […]
Earlier this week, I received my IOPE Air Cushion XP Matte Finish in the mail. I had been pretty excited to try this new offering from the IOPE Air Cushion line, since it was the cushion compact that had started it all — selling a unit every 30 seconds in Korea at the height of its […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
