Claire and Aerin are now halfway through their first summer camp experience. 😎 The camp is run by Claire’s Montessori school; it is set during the hours that would otherwise be taken up by classes during the school year. And while the school continues to run educational programs and activities at camp, these summertime sessions tend to be less structured […]

Korean Beauty Haul: My Favorite Products, Part 1
In my introduction post, I revealed how Korean women can use 14-17 skincare products throughout a typical day. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering what you could possibly do to your skin aside from cleanse and moisturize! Luckily, for the clueless like myself, Charlotte Cho of Soko Glam has shared with us a wonderful […]
Korean Beauty Haul: Introduction
A few months ago, at the ripe ol’ age of 33, I purchased my very first eye cream. And I LOVED it. “Why have I never used eye cream before?!?” I exclaimed on Facebook. “I don’t have lines yet (knock on wood) but my eye area seems so much smoother and softer…and dark circles lighter. […]

I thought it especially appropriate considering that direct flights between JFK and Incheon International Airport are approximately 14 hours long. 🙂 […]

I was actually supposed to visit Korea earlier this year for another cousin’s wedding, but decided to cancel the trip in light […]
3 Flowcharts [Sleep, GoT, and World Cup Edition]
My head is a royal mess right now. Packing. Cleaning. Making sure the girls don’t kill each other. Laundry. My 15th rendition of “Do-Re-Mi” (C&A’s favorite song at the moment) today. More cleaning (because I can’t leave for a trip without cleaning first). In case you have more free time than me today, here are three flowcharts you may […]
