Inside Seoul’s 1st Ever Comic Con

Posted on August 12, 2017 by Lexi • 4 Comments

The unimaginable happened. Comic Con came to Seoul. Cue the fireworks!!! To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make it because of my schedule. Also, there was a lot of talk about how the event was going to be a huge flop. However, about a week before Comic Con … Continue reading →

Picture Yourself @ Social Club Seoul (소셜클럽서울)

Posted on August 4, 2017 by Lexi • Leave a comment

There is something very rewarding about finding pretty places on Instagram and then actually going to those places. While I do come across many of the cafes I blog about by chance, there are those that call to me from the alluring images on Instagram. Social Club Seoul was just such a place. I was … Continue reading →

Under the Sea @ Lotte World Aquarium (롯데월드 아쿠아리움)

Posted on July 25, 2017 by Lexi • Leave a comment

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 →

Studying Korean Dance @ The National Theater of Korea (국립극장)

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Lexi • Leave a comment

They say that the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in the country and culture the language originates from. Honestly this applies to just about anything. I mean, what better way to learn something than to go straight to the source? Traditional Korean dance is something I have always wanted to … Continue reading →

Hanok Tea & Coffee Shop: Cafe LN (카페 루덴로켄)

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Lexi • 3 Comments

One of my favorite things to when I’m in Samcheong-dong (삼청동) is have tea in a traditional Korean house, aka a hanok. Actually, there are quite a few hidden spots down the quiet alleyways away from the hustle and bustle of Seoul’s fast paced life. Some are modern style coffee shops wrapped in the traditional exterior … Continue reading →

Granhand (그랑핸드): Korean Homemade Fragrances **Update**

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Lexi • 3 Comments

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 →

Korea Road Trip Day 3: Ocean Lattes, Fish Markets & Lighthouses

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Lexi • 9 Comments

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 →

Korea Road Trip Day 2: Mountains, Beaches & Penis Rest Stops (NSFW)

Posted on May 31, 2017 by Lexi • 2 Comments

After a lovely day on Nami Island, we hit the road the next morning and headed for Sokcho on the east coast of Korea for some much anticipated beach time. Having spent a good amount of time in traffic the previous day, we were determined to beat the odds by leaving earlier and searching for … Continue reading →

Posted on May 25, 2017 by Lexi • 2 Comments

For the first time in a very long time, my boyfriend and I actually had the same consecutive days off. So we decided to grab our pup, Uyu, and hit the road on our first ever Korea road trip. Our first stop was Nami Island. We had such a great time with Uyu when we went … Continue reading →

Pokémon World Festival 2017 (포켓몬 월드 페스티벌 2017)

Posted on May 20, 2017 by Lexi • 2 Comments

When I heard there was going to be a Pokémon World Festival here in Korea, I knew I had to check it out! So I grabbed my camera, my boyfriend and made the 2 hr journey over to Incheon’s Triple Street mall. When we arrived, we were greeted by an adorable assembly of Pikachu statutes surrounded … Continue reading →

Never thought we could have a favorite bread spot, but here we are... favorite bread spot!
This is a public service announcement. We'd like to ask that you adjust your greetings accordingly. Anyone else completely obsessed with Extraordinary Attorney Woo? 😅✋
Eyelash extensions are super popular in Korea and a great way to shave off some time when getting ready in the morning. I've been to a lot of different places, but this by far has been my favorite! Can you believe I've been going there since 2015?!
Korean BBQ is definitely one of the most sought after meals when visiting Korea. But how do you know what to order? There are soooo many different types of meats and cuts to choose from! In my opinion, you can never go wrong with some pork belly (삼겹살) and an order of this mouthwatering Honeycomb Pig Skin (벌집껍데기).
Yes, there are actual free things to do in Seoul besides going outside... if you know where to look. If you're looking to learn more about Korea, the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History is a fun and FREE place to start. Be sure to add it to your itinerary 👍
If you haven't been to a Korean movie theater yet, then it definitely needs to be on your list. There are so many perks and different types of theaters to choose from. The overall experience is simply on another level! 😍
Like with any trip, you should definitely do your research when traveling to a new country. While Korea may seem like a great place to spend your "hot girl summer," we do have some pretty unforgiving humidity and a monsoon season you won't soon forget 😅
In case you haven't noticed by now, my mom is 100٪ ARMY through and through. So when we went to Jeju Island, she really wanted to make a response to jungkook.97 beach post.
To be completely honest, I was a little underwhelmed by the selection of merch at the Hybe Insight Museum shop. You have to buy tickets to visit the museum in order to go to the gift shop, since the shop is part of the exhibit.
