One thing I love about blogging is looking back at my older posts and reflecting. Last year my Thanksgiving celebration was in my tiny one room apartment in South Korea. Being able to share what this day means with my Korea friends (and one Brit) was amazing. This year I was able to spend the day with family and friends in my hometown. The first stop was at my mothers job … [Read more...]

If you read yesterday's post then you know I am back to my healthy lifestyle :) I will have a six pack before going to Jamaica...32 days and counting! Here is what I had for "breaky"! I learned this British slang term for breakfast while in Vietnam. The teachers in the school I would have worked with were majority British :) Recipe : 1 egg, Handful of chopped spinach, 3 … [Read more...]
New York City, Hurricane Sandy, and Elephant earrings…random
A week or two before hurricane Sando ( I'm changing the name because it seems as though the most destructive storms of the last few years turn out to be named after women) I headed down to NYC with my sister to have lunch with a dear friend on her birthday! We met up in Manhattan at El Centro which specializes in Mexican cuisine. It was really good and I was happy to taste … [Read more...]

Women who inspire: Pink Fashion Ninja!
With Korean pop sensation PSY's "Gangnam style" still tearing up the air waves across the globe months after its release, one can't help but wonder... what next from the "Hallyu" phenomenon will stir up a world wide trend! I'd like to think its the fashion. Personally I am not a fan of straight Korean fashion (I guess you'd have to live there to truly know what I mean). … [Read more...]
Hiking in Connecticut!
I went hiking yesterday afternoon with my mom and sister. Its been really great spending time with everyone since I returned home. Hiking together has become our new addiction. I guess I can thank Korea for that! The views right now as the leaves continue to change ...one word ---> magnificent. I can stand here in the mountains and gaze out all day :) There is … [Read more...]
LuvNaturals Hair Products review
Yes I know! I write about my travel life and rarely about product reviews. As you know I've have been back in America now and of course I am finding new things to write about :) But let me just say that no one is paying me to do this mess. I just needed to share what I've been wasting my money on since I returned from Asia :) Out of obvious boredom and frivolous spending I … [Read more...]
Paleo Diet
I love to follow 2 types of people on instagram: 1). Foodies and 2). Fitness freaks :) And I've noticed that a ton of the fitness buffs I follow are raving about their Paleo lifestyles. After doing some research on this "diet" or lifestyle change I realized that its also referred to the "caveman diet". You can do research on the diet by just googling it. Right now a lady by … [Read more...]
