Princess for a Day

Playing dress-up was a big part of my childhood. I was always fascinated with theatrics and the idea of being able to be someone else. Growing up, my mom would keep all our halloween costumes, “jeweled” accessories and vintage clothes  in a big storage bin so that my sister and I would have access to … Continue reading

Korea has become quite well known for its pet cafes, especially among tourists. Dog and cat cafes can be found all over Seoul, but that doesn’t mean they are all worth going to.

Tart and Seoul

Wondering through 홍대 (Hongdae), I came across a café with some of the best tarts I’ve ever tasted! To be honest, what drew me in more than its name was the lovely clear windowed exterior. Avec Nous itself isn’t too big and could probably seat about 30 people, but it is kept spacious. As simple and … Continue reading

My Cheesy Birthday

I love Cheesecake. Back home I loved going to The Cheesecake Factory for my birthday. Well, it’s been quite sometime since I’ve been back home and tasted an amazing slice of cheesecake. So, my very thoughtful boyfriend planned a very unique birthday for me a “cheesy” day if you will. Plan: A day of cheesecake … Continue reading
