“Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.” Gyeongbokgung is probably my favorite place in Korea. I mean, it’s a real life piece of history right in the middle of Seoul and you can simply stroll through it whenever you want (during open hours of course). … Continue reading
It was on a mere whim that the boyfriend and I found ourselves wandering into the Lotte World Aquarium. I think w’ just re-watched Finding Dory and suddenly felt a strong urge to check out some marine life. Either way, there we were, cameras in hand ready to take some serious National Geographic level photos. … Continue reading
Granhand is hands down my favorite fragrance shop. Their original handmade fragrances had me hooked the moment I entered their doors, well over a year ago. Whenever I need sachets for my closet, candles for my home or perfume for myself, I always make time to head over to their beautiful little hanok shop to resupply. … Continue reading
Day 3 of our trip started early and with purpose. The rest of our trip had been a mis-mash of what we wanted to do and what we had time to do. Our first day was marred by traffic and our second by a late start but it was day 3. We’d learned from our … Continue reading

To put it simply, it all comes … Continue reading

I’ve been to several dog, cat and raccoon cafes in Korea. I’ve even been to an owl cafe in Japan! I thought I … Continue reading
Although it has become insanely popular among locals and tourists, It’s been a while since I’ve dressed up in a traditional hanbok and strolled around Gyeongbokgung and its surrounding area. Right now it’s a very popular date idea, so when Oneday Hanbok invited me to check out their new shop I decided to turn it … Continue reading
I first came across Oneday Hanbok back in 2015, when it was a tiny little shop inside 을지로4가역 (Euljiro 4 Ga Station). They had a modest selection, but the service was excellent and price was right. It was such a great experience I went straight to my blog to tell everyone about my great find! Flash … Continue reading
