Sunday wash day was a trip! 7 hours of Henna, Indigo and Curlformers! *Whew! Crazy! I've been watching too many YT hair videos. This is how I ended up with darn Curlformers ha ha. But I thought it would be a great addition to my traveling arsenal of hair supplies. Here is a picture of my hair Monday morning when removing the curl formers. I don't like how the end came out … [Read more...]
Henna, Tumeric and one laid back saturday!
I'm tired. So tireeeed that I feel it in my bones. I know I sound like an inactive 90 year old, but this past week at school was hella crazy. Starting to think there is something in the kimchi and really glad I don't eat school lunch anymore. My students were absolutely insane this week. Ha ha well just the boys. I think they were just SUPER amped up since sports day is … [Read more...]
The Unbeweavable MISTAKE!
Wednesday April 11th was a holiday here in Korea. Everything was closed so that people could go out and vote! One of my friends is very much into politics now because of the guy that wrote this book in the picture below. His name is Kim, Oeo Jyun. The only way I can explain him based on what she told me is he's like Barack Obama or JFK. Someone who rallies the youth to get … [Read more...]
Head wraps in Korea
Today I am wearing a head wrap. Can you believe that some of my students ran, gasped and screamed when they saw me? My students are so freaking ignorant I don't know what to do with them sometimes. I started giving the first graders a lesson on headwraps. Especially since one of the key phrases they are learning is " My son doesn't know much about the world.">.< … [Read more...]

My natural hair
I love having natural hair! If you have no idea what I mean by "natural hair". Basically just wearing my hair in its curly natural state how it grows out of my head. I use to chemically process my hair to have it straight for many years ( look at the picture in my about me section). But that is in the past now. Lately I've been trying out a new wash day routine. Its been going … [Read more...]
Face Mask: Korean style
Its pretty much a given to purchase a face mask if you live in Korea. Why? Because some people everyone doesn't know how to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Especially on public transportation which is always crowded, steaming hot with closed windows and its freaking annoying. Its confusing though because people wear face masks here when they are sick but at the … [Read more...]
Trimming natural hair
*Sigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* I've been in Ulsan for almost 6 months now. Actually 6 months on the 19 of this month! When I first arrived for about the first 2.5 months I've had the same regimen I used while still in the states AND I was using bottled water mainly to care for my hair. After a while this became tedious and costly. So I stopped. I stopped and used the … [Read more...]

So if you are missing something from home and don't want to order online, I suggest checking here first!I was missing my favorite Maybeline mascara (the one in the pink and green tube). Well they didn't have that version but they have Maybeline … [Read more...]
