I'm sure you've seen many others talk about Korean beauty brands before. From face masks to serums, there are all kinds of products that are known to bring out the best in hydration and a natural glow.

Even though this was my second time in Taipei, there was still so much to explore that I had not been able to on my first visit back in 2019. I was eager to see Taipei streets, parks, hiking trails, and of course get my hands on some traditional Taiwanese food such as beef noodles and xiao long bao.

I've never been pregnant before, and I was completely overwhelmed in the beginning of the pregnancy.

We are slowly approaching one of my favorite times of the year - when the temperatures drop, the leaves begin to change, and the sun sets a little earlier. Although autumn is a little bit farther away in Hong Kong than my hometown, that doesn't mean I am not getting excited about switching out my summer wardrobe for my autumn wardrobe full of chunky knit sweaters. For those who are new here, cooler weather plus me equals best friends. I feel most like myself and feel most comfortable when I'm in chunky, oversized sweaters and cozy leggings.
