Checking out the latest art exhibit is one of our favorite things to do, even more so now if it gets us out of this awful heat. So to kick off the summer, my husband decided to surprise me by taking me to an art exhibit entirely dedicated to ice cream! We didn’t know what to expect when we arrived, but what we got was … Continue reading Cooling Down @ Hi, Ice Cream in Seoul (하이, 아이스크림)
I come from a household of pretty enthusiastic Disney nerds. So when the time came to throw me a bridal shower, my mom and sisters knew exactly what to do.

Needless to say it was love at first bite, but sadly one cannot live off of cruffins alone. It has been … Continue reading Return to Mr. Holmes
I’ve received quite a few messages asking me what it’s like dating a Korean guy and what dating is like in Korea. There are a lot of stereotypes surrounding the “Korean Boyfriend.” If you look it up on YouTube you’ll seriously find a million results on the subject. To put it simply, it all comes down to culture. The success of a multicultural relationship will … Continue reading The Standard Korean Date
Decoa Balim has been one of my favorite cafes for quite a few years now, so I was thrilled to hear that they were going to open a second location. The new cafe is only about a minute away from the original, which is perfect actually. There have been so many times (particularly on the weekends) when I had to go to a different cafe because … Continue reading Vintage Desserts @ Decoa Balim (데코아발림) **2ND LOCATION**
