Some 2016 goals

2016 new years resolution ideas

2015 has been a pretty good year for me. I’ve worked with and met some amazing people, I did pretty ace when results for my 3rd year at uni were released, and I’m on track to graduate in July. Woot. So apart from doing more of the same, I thought I’d set a few little goals that I can use as a progress check this time next year. I’m not great at the ‘resolutions’, so having something that I can work towards over the course of the year rather than just a selection of ‘TOTES GONNA DO THIS YEAAHH’s is a better strategy for me, I think. If you’re the resolution type, let me know what resolutions you’re making this year.

some 2016 goals:

life
– continue to be positive even when it’s hard. a can-do attitude makes the ‘do’ easier
– get a 1st class degree. s o   c  l o s e.  don’t slack off now. we can do it
– have a routine. preferably one that doesn’t mean bedtime is 3am standard and days don’t start till midday. this isn’t doing anyone any favours on a wednesday.
– not be afraid to fail. we’re graduating, there’s going to be a lot of uncertainty and a lot of trying things that don’t work out. it’s ok if it doesn’t work out
– save for korea/japan travels with chantel! spend less. be thrifty.
– move to london. or be on track to, at the very least.
– start (re)learning french! languages are fun and very useful for employment. also keep practicing ur korean speaking, child.
– travel more. there is so much wonder in the world and you’re in such a brilliant position to go and explore it. let’s make good on some of those promises to visit people. Singapore and New York, yes? Yes.
– continue on the road to beating trich. i’ve started so i’ll focus on taking more steps in a forward direction
– wear the clothes i want to wear, when i want to wear them. wardrobe full of cute clothes, someone’s gotta wear ’em.
– MEET MORE PEOPLE. a lot of people are really quite fab.
– spend more time with friends. it may have to be a scheduled hour, but a scheduled hour is better than not seeing them at all!
– keep at the meal planning! it’ll help with saving money, and also diet.
– keep up with regular exercise. health is a balance and exercise is annoyingly good for the mind.

blog
– actually plan posts for the month 
– leave comments on other’s blogs every day if I have time — reply to comments on my posts if I have time
– more ootds (for me)
– more lifestyle (for twitter poll respondees)
– more korean beauty/fashion (for the industry, tbh)
– set mini goals for each month, carry them over if they’re not achieved. stick to them!!!
– create a lookbook for each season.
– organise the admin side, and keep up with it!
– put out one youtube video a week

these goals are probably going to be subject to change, hopefully more in an expansion sense than a ‘welp, can’t do that anymore’ sense. I’m really pumped for 2016, I want it to be a year of good change and excitement and positivity and possibly a unicorn or two. Or seven.

Let me know if you think these are a good idea! If you have any to suggest, I’d love to hear them. Oh, also, if you have anything you’d like to see on this little blog please pleaseee tell me! I want to challenge myself to create some awesome content next year 😀

come with me to get laser treatment done at 클럽 come with me to get laser treatment done at 클럽미즈라미체의원 (lamiche clinic) in seongpa-gu, seoul ☺️

it was my first time getting this kind of treatment done, so i was nervous, but the staff walked me through everything and the process was simple. They have a full interpretation service if you don’t speak korean, too. 

I had a skin evaluation, and then consultation with Dr. Joo. It was really eye opening (and fully humbling) to see my skin like that, and I was open to letting Dr. Joo make recommendations based on his expertise. I do thoroughly research skincare on my own, but there are some things that creams and actives just cannot do. 

Unfortunately due to work commitments I couldn’t do the full 3-4 hours of treatment that were recommended, but I’m pleased with the results of my treatment anyway! 

treatment: 
- rough extraction (not filmed)
removes sebum and other impurities from pores. This was probably the most painful part for me? but i still felt I was in very good and capable hands. 🥲

lasers: 
- affirm mpx
🎯 appearance of pores, wrinkles, ptosis, deep nasolabial folds, cervical stripes 
- fraxel dual 
🎯 appearance of scarring, wrinkles, ptosis, deep nasolabial folds, cervical stripes 
- new accolade 
🎯 pigmented lesions 
- excel v
🎯 pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, elastic lesion
-revlite c7
🎯 skin surface, wrinkles, scarring, pigmented lesion, pimple pigmentation

other: HA filler, front cheek (volume) 

thoughts: 
the pain was less than i’d thought it would be… though I do have quite a high pain tolerance. I experienced some of the expected scabbing during the next two days as the skin healed, and took the recommended medication to help with the healing process. 

after 2 weeks: 
my skin does have less redness, especially around my nose, and the surface texture looks better! I’ve had a lot of compliments on how my skin is looking recently (despite the cold) so overall I am very pleased. :) 

If you have any questions, let me know and i’ll answer as best i can :)

this barbie got something she wanted, finally. 💋
good morning from the chilly riverside~ even tho good morning from the chilly riverside~ 

even though the weather these days is getting less than toasty (haha), I have been making use of the Seoul bike rental program! 
Ttareungi (따릉기) is super easy to use, you do need an app and internet connection, but the user interface is really intuitive, and you can use it in korean or english. The map tells you how many bikes are at any given location, and renting one is a simple as scanning the qr code on the back, paying 2000 won for 2 hours (1000won for 1 hour, 5000won whole day) and peddling off 💖

(as someone who is terrified of doing something wrong, I was really happy with how easy both rental and return is.) You don’t need an account to use them either. 

(toast isn’t the biggest fan, but he doesn’t like bikes so i’ll give him a pass)

a night(tour) at the museum! The Gyeongbok palac a night(tour) at the museum! 

The Gyeongbok palace night tour is a popular attraction over the summer months, but did you know the National Museum offers guided tours too? 

I went on a guided tour of the museum garden recently, and saw a lot of really interesting structures and treasures of note. Plus it’s nice to spend time outside with the autumn leaves (peak time will probably be around next week!) 

entry to the museum is free, and there are a few different tours you can do both inside and outside of it :)

found a whale in the han river 🐳 🐋 (don’ found a whale in the han river 🐳 🐋 

(don’t worry it’s not real! - but it is part of the kcontent festival happening at the 세빛섬 / floating islands at banpo han river park. 

The whale is from Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and you can also see Younghee from Squid Game, and one of the cells from Yumi’s Cells (admittedly I haven’t seen that one…) 

There are other games you can play too, and if you go on a weekend you can craft your own whale) 

:) The festival runs until september 30th! ))

summer~~~ has definitely been *hot* this year. Sad summer~~~ has definitely been *hot* this year. Sad to say I definitely haven’t utilised the seasons as much as I wanted to because of work :( I did manage to escape the heat by eating the staple summer dessert (bingsu // 빙수 ) 💖 and chilling in my downtime in cafes! 

I think i’m going to wait a bit a bit for the heat to go down before breaking out the picnic stuff this year 💖 

how do you cool off in the heat ~

tiny girl on a film set 🎥 🍿 This location tiny girl on a film set 🎥 🍿 

This location is @provokeseoul , a repurposed flour mill that was built during the japanese colonial period of korea. These days it doesn’t grind grain, but you might have seen it in music videos and #kdrama scenes! 

Currently this location isn’t open to the public to visit, so thanks @globalseoulmates for organising the tour! But!!! The Provoke team have plans to open to the public in the future to link to Mullae art village~ 

(Last two slides are taken from @xikers_official KOONG performance video, which was filmed here!) 

Do you know any other media Provoke has appeared in? let me know in the comments :)

if you’re struggling to reapply your sunscreen t if you’re struggling to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day, then I really suggest you switch so a sun stick. They’re incredibly portable, and, most importantly, no mess!!! The amount of times I’ve had sunscreen explode in my bag… 

This sun stick from @marynmay_official is great for on the go application. It contains peptides and bakuchiol, which are great for helping your skin fight off free radicals that can damage your skin. It’s not greasy, and wears well under makeup. 

It’s been such a great addition to my bag that I actually almost forgot to take it out to make this reel 🥲😅

i made kimbap~ 🫶 Thanks to the Seoul Hallyu A i made kimbap~ 
🫶 
Thanks to the Seoul Hallyu Activites Program I got to go to CJ The Kitchen and experience making Kimbap for the first time ❤️

It wasn’t all smooth sailing but our teacher said my kimbap rolling skills were good 🥹 which … well you can judge for yourself 😂

It was a lot of fun, and there are a lot of different activities to try out on the Hallyu program that unfortunately I didn’t get to do because of my work schedule. You can take dance classes with YGX, craft making classes, go to SBS The Show, or make Korean liquor or kimchi. 

What do you think of the kimbap i made 😅

🌺 flower festival season is upon us 🌸 Cher 🌺 flower festival season is upon us 🌸 

Cherry blossoms are probably the most famous flower festival that happens across the country (there are some amazing spots in seoul for seeing them) - but there are a lot of other festivals for different flowers too! 
(I have them saved on my naver maps under orange hearts so that I can see them easily) 

At the moment, canola flowers (유채꽃) are in full bloom (they’re a spring flower in Korea) and there are a couple of great places to see them in all their glory in Seoul. 

One of them is Seorae Island (서래섬), between shinbanpo station (신반포역) and gubanpo station (구반포역). It’s a small island covered in Canola flowers, with a pretty Han river view. 

Seorae village (서래마을), the french quarter, isn’t far away either, so you can treat yourself to some french pastries after visiting, or get yourself a full picnic spread.

(Even though the festival is technically over now, you’ll still be able to see the flowers for a bit longer ^^) 

Other flower festivals happening soon are: 

🥀 rose festival in jungnang-gu (중랑구) 
🥀 seoul grand park rose garden festival 

📌 서래섬 - about a 15 minute walk from 구반포역 exit 2, or 신반포역 exit 1 
(40 Sinbanpo-to 11-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul)
🌼 The festival runs from may 12-21st and entry is free!
