woww effected A Week in Korea Korea is full of amazing beauty, skin, and other random products, and this is easily the best thing I’ve ever seen. They are heart shaped heat patches for that time of the month. When I found these, my face was like the girl in the last frame….happiest person EVER. I’ve yet to try them, but if they work, I’ll let you all know!

The food is one of the best things here. Not gaining weight is going to be craaazy hard. I can’t wait to get my gym membership!

Sheryll–loved this! Took me back to my time in Seoul. I used to eat kimpap and mandu every day. Have you had bibimpap yet???? OMG. And the Korean stationary….lawd, I spent so much money on that and I think I still have most of it….is that sad? LOL.

Sounds like you’re having fun and enjoying your new life there. Can’t wait for more updates!

LOL! No, it’s not sad at all. I’m pretty sure I still have Hello Kitty stationary from when I was a kid. It’s always way too cute to use lol!

Ahhh, all those pictures equals sooo many good memories for me. I love Korea, so I make it a point to go every summer. Don’t they just have the cutest billboards and use the most adorable pictures to help with their everyday advertisements. I love how Korea has a child like “innocence” to it. The food, of course, is my absolute favorite! Samgyupsal all the way, baby!!

Sheryll April 15, 2012 at 8:11 am

Samgyupsal is my true love. I’m officially obsessed with it! And yes, I love how all the advertisements have the most adorable logos and pictures. It’s my dream come true!

Oooo! I see you’ve hit up a noraebang :D Kimbap was all I ate my first few weeks here, I think I overdid it a bit, haha.

Reply

Sheryll April 23, 2012 at 8:15 pm

Yes! My coworkers took me there after my welcoming dinner. Nothing like getting drunk with your coworkers and singing songs. SO much fun! And yea…I think me and kimbap are going to have to take a small break. It’s so cheap, and addicting!
