The Adventure Challenge: Review
For Christmas this past year we were gifted with The Adventure Challenge: Family Edition from my mom. It looked like an awesome fun thing to do with family but we put it off a bit and then dug it out when we were headed home this summer.

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone or want this for yourself, this is perfect. Get ready for the fun. Are…

Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence: My Review Of The Best Sunscreen Out There
The biggest take away I’ve had from the Kbeauty events I’ve been to and the Kbeauty influencers I’ve befriended is that the must use skincare product is sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen. Some suncreens are better than others and it took me a little bit to find my favorite sunscreen and the best sunscreen to wear with makeup but I do believe, this is the one. The Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50 was actually one of the first sunscreens I started using consistently many years ago, tried some others, but ultimately, I’ve come back to it and will succinctly say, this is indeed the best sunscreen in my opinion.

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…

For the next two weekends, The Seoul Shakespeare Company will be performing the play Titus Andronicus.
