March has been a pretty good month. I had two technological upgrades (well, one was more of a battery update), picked up a new hobby that doesn't require staring at a computer screen, started a semi-regular jogging routine again, got to see my grandmother for the first time in near 18 months, managed to enjoy the one week we had sun, spent a...

(L-R:Just Peachy, Rose-bud, Wine Room, Spiked with Rum, Sugar Plum Fairy, Cherry Bomb) If there's an award for a drugstore lipstick that's insanely hyped up and relatively hard to get outside of North America, it would probably be the Wet n Wild Megalast Lipsticks.

Korean makeup is having its moment on the international platform and rightly so. I have more access to this trend now that I've moved back to this Eastern Asian island. But I must say, I've been completely enticed by one brand and haven't really explored other options. Innisfree is an ecofriendly brand that was born on Jeju Island. Most, if not all, of...

None of the products I'm talking about today are newly launched, but in a time when everyone is talking about the newest sparkly thing, it's...

Despite the title, I'm not one to tell people what they should or should not do - I might strongly suggest and advise, but unless it's a dire 'do or die' situation, I think people should have the freedom to make their own choices. Even if it sometimes means it's a ridiculously stupid one. And while I'm not breaking that rule today, there are...

Advice is always nice to get, especially when you're lost and without a clue. Who doesn't like some good guidance, eh? Note that the keyword here is good. Not all advice, no matter the intention, is advice that's right for me. Like the pick 'n mix candy stands, you'll need to waddle through all the options before deciding that the gummy bears and...

February started out good as I sinned with gluttony. And then it sucked. Starting from delayed payments and pesky technological hardware problems, everything was wrapped up with the perfect bow the last week of the month as I became a walking bio hazard. Actually, walking is definitely too generous of a term. I was more like a biohazard ball rolling around and moaning...
