Liebster Award

leibster award

So finals are over for another semester and something to make my day even better was to come home and see that I’d been nominated to do the Leibster Award by the lovely Ri at generationbeautiful. So thank you!

I know the award carries no weight towards anything, as awards go, and is really just a bit of a PR stunt disguised rather badly as a tag-chain-comment type thing, but the graphic is pretty and I like the sentiment behind it. (Liebster is German for a words in the more beloved sense, sweetheart and dearest, for example, taken from the root Lieb; nice, fondly, welcome, etc.) Plus it’s always lovely to know that people read (and enjoy, I hope?) what you write. It’s awarded (or nominated, rather) to new blogs – like myeslf – with under 200 followers.

The rules:

  • You must link the person’s blog who nominated you for the award
  • Answer the 11 questions given by the person who nominated you
  • Pick an additional 11 people to nominate with under 200 blog followers
  • You cannot nominate the blogger who nominated you
  • You must inform the nominees that you have nominated

Questions from generationbeautiful~ below

  • What is your favourite thing about blogging?
    • The fact I can write about my own thoughts and opinions and share them with like-minded people! Oh and how easy it is to connect with people all around the world!
  • If you were a superhero, what superpower would you have?
    • Teleportaion, because I am notoriously late to things sometimes…
  • What is your guilty pleasure?
    • probably hoarding notebooks
  • Highstreet or Designer?
    • Right now, highstreet, in the future, who knows?? (most probably, still highstreet). To be honest some designer pieces just seem far to impractical to wear. But then I do love a good designer collaboration for the highstreet….
  • What is a random fact about you?
    • I am fiercely loyal to my close family and friends
  • What is your favourite item of clothing you own?
    • Right now, probably my docs or a pair of black wedge booties I bought in Idae two months into moving to Korea
  • If you could time travel, where would you time travel to and why?
    • Probably to the 70’s so I could meet my Paternal Grandmother properly, and so that I could be her dressmaking apprentice ;a;
  • What is your best holiday ever?
    • If Korea counted as a holiday this would be the easiest question ever, but nooo… I think it would have to be the last holiday I went on with my mum and sisters to Austria, because Austria is such a gorgeous country.
  • What is you favourite movie of all time?
    • Alice in Wonderland!!!
  • What’s the last song you listened to on your ipod (be honest)?
    • *grabs ipod* BlockB – Nice Day
  • What is your biggest pet peeve?
    • People/Children/it doesn’t matter what age really, who are disrespectful to their own parents in an unjust or completely selfish way. It makes me really sad.

My 11 Questions:

  1. Who is your role model?
  2. If you could change one thing you’ve done in the past, what would it be and how much do you think your life would be different now?
  3. Where would you like to travel to most in the world?
  4. If you were stuck on a desert island and could take 3 things with you, what would they be?
  5. If you could become fluent in another language, which would it be?
  6. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
  7. What were/are your favourite subject(s) at school?
  8. Why did you start blogging?
  9. What do you think is the most fulfilling part of blogging?
  10. Are you the type of person that is up for anything? 
  11. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

And I nominate only two people because almost all the blogs I follow don’t fit the follower criterion and these girls work really hard.  

  • Lauren @ the style splicer
  • Madame Alexander @ thegirlwhoholdsthekey

I’m going to be super cheesy here and nominate those who just want to answer my questions. I hope my answers weren’t too boring!

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!
