Raddish Kids Cooking Subscription Review: Recipes For Kids
My daughter is a picky eater. I’ll just put that out there straight away. She likes her foods situated so they’re not touching each other and likes raw vegetables and basic fruits above anything else. In order to help her branch out a bit with food, I wanted to get her more involved in the kitchen and as luck would have it, my mother gifted my daughter a year’s subscription to Raddish Kids. Go grandma! If you’re looking for a cooking subscription box for kids, this might just be the best one for you! Read on to find out. Getting a kids cooking subscription is a great opportunity to get…

Raph&Remy: The Sustainable Baby Onesies, Swaddles & More Made From Bamboo
Always looking for more sustainable and eco-friendly options, I was delighted recently when Raph&Remy reached out and asked if I’d check out their premium bamboo baby essentials. I’ve had no problem finding more sustainable options for myself like my favorite Allbirds Shoes or the compostable phone cases from Pela, but, I find that kids items are always lacking. Even though my little lady is five and growing, my closest besties here in Korea are having their bundles of joys so I said absolutely. Maybe I can get them a gift? Let me check out these chic and sustainable baby essentials that are made from BAMBOO! I don’t remember ever seeing…

Wish Formula: The Fermented Hydra Ceramide Lotion & Essential Toner Review
I’ve got a few Korean beauty brands that are my go-to for various reasons and Wish Formula is one of them. While I reach for Troiareuke when I want to clean my face, I reach for Wish Formula when I want to nourish and hydrate my skin. Almost everything I’ve tried from Wish Formula has been great but these two products have by far been the best for my dry skin. I’d never heard of fermented skincare products prior to using these but after, I definitely looked into them more. The Wish Formula Fermented Hydra Ceramide Lotion and the Fermented Hydra Essential Toner are currently my essential skincare products producing…

My Allbirds Shoe Review: The Tree Skippers & The Wool Runners
In a continuous endeavor to be more sustainable, shop from more eco-friendly brands, and reduce my waste, I was pretty stoked when my mom gifted me a pair of Allbirds two years ago. She gave them to me because they were the most comfortable sneakers she’d ever worn, but I was ecstatic when I learned of their eco-friendliness. From that first wear, I was hooked. I wore that first pair of sustainable footwear almost exclusively for months. My first pair, the Allbirds Tree Skippers, took me through two springs and summer and then when it got chilly this past autumn, I got my second pair, the Allbirds Wool Runners to…

Pela Phone Case Review: The Eco Friendly Compostable Phone Case
I have now had my Pela phone case for almost one year (51 weeks to be exact), and I wanted to do a review. I purchased this with my own money because I was looking into ways to be more sustainable and continuing my push into eco-friendly living. When I found this sustainable phone case which promotes itself as 100% compostable and eco-friendly, I was ready to try it. Check out my Pela phone case review to see if a sustainable compostable phone case is right for you.

International Lifestyle: Moving Abroad In Your 20’s
Last year I was approached by some fellow expats in Thailand about writing a chapter for a book they were putting together. Laura Gibbs and Jason Berkeley wanted to compile stories from people that had moved abroad in their 20s. They wanted to give some perspective to those students back home just graduating and considering the big move abroad. What is expat life like? What are the great possible outcomes and of course the inevitable detriments? One major purpose of their book was to explain why moving abroad in your 20’s is by far the best time in one’s life to take advantage of such an adventure. The book was…
