6 years of Twenty Swans!

Okay, so a whole host of things happened in the last year that mean I am lucky to even have cool photos to share right now to reflect on. Who would have guessed that when I flew home to the UK, I'd end up leaving the house only a handful of times in 6 months??…

[Review] A’Pieu Juicy Pang Tint in CR03

Hello!! I can't believe I did not post this review sooner! That actually applies to a lot of posts on this blog - I am going to have to put aside a date to schedule a handful of life-related posts! I find that I am missing blogging lately, but I have too many hobbies to…

[Reflection] My Placement Year Studying Abroad in Seoul

Oh gosh. Where do I start? I started this post off from Amsterdam, during a really long layover on my way back to Birmingham, and I'm finishing it off now, just as my final year is about to begin. Korea already feels like a dream from another time. I have a LOT of feelings and…

[Chatter] Staying Until it’s Over

It's almost April, somehow. This year feels surreal, but for all the wrong reasons. In the words of my university, the current situation is dynamic and rapidly changing. The current government advice is to travel home, however, after much discussion with friends and family, I am staying in Seoul for the time being, at least until…

[Cafe Break] Cafe Pado, an Art Cafe in Hapjeong, Seoul

Pado is absolutely a new favourite place of mine in Seoul. I almost skipped out on visiting it, but I figured I should at least check it out, and I am SO glad I did. It's downright gorgeous and in my opinion, definitely worth a detour. Cafe Pado is best accessed via the Hapjeong station…

[Review] Innisfree Vivid Oil Tint in #9 Bloody Chocolate Red

Here we are, folks! The first lipstick I bought in Korea! Aren't we excited?? Because I know I am!! It's getting towards the end of January, so time is really flying by. It's colder in Seoul compared to Birmingham as it's constantly hitting minus temperatures in Seoul, but I've been told it's not too bad…

[Thoughts/Seoul Diary] Not Quite Homesick

So my second week of classes is over. I have a long post for you all today - I am back to relying on the blog to get my thoughts out due to the different timezones and sometimes not wanting to bother people with my feelings. I've been telling people I am fine and settling…

Media Edit, April 2019

This post was originally way over 2k words! It was meant to be scheduled for April so I've cut it down to extend a bit into May as well, and will likely include more May in my next edit, too. TV Shows I've binged all three seasons of Queer Eye! I'm loving the concept of…

[Beauty & Chatter] London Day 1|Epik High at the Electric Ballroom

About a month ago, I went to London for a night to see Epik High perform at the Electric Ballroom. My boyfriend and I were planning to visit London anyway for our one-year anniversary, so we moved the trip and made an extended date out of it! I'll be sharing bits and bobs here, talking…

Year-End Media Editorial 2017

I actually really enjoy doing this type of post and the only thing that ever puts me off writing these is knowing I have to add a billion hyperlinks at the end. Anyhow, that means I have a lot to chat about since like, March (!!), so let's get started! This is what I've been…
