Preschools Add Brush-and-Spit to Day (Via NY... →
I found this article, and the parental debate interesting. In Korea everyone brushes their teeth after every meal. My pre-schoolers keep a toothbrush and ‘brush cup’ in the classroom and brush after lunch everyday.

I just dropped my pouch of nail polish and nail tools and realized two bottles broke. I am now covered in nail polish (not the color I painted them!) and have cut my hand.
Oh I also have a huge mess to clean up.
*I guess I should just leave this game to the pros… manis only moving forward. ugh
Cornell's Pi Phi Rush Weekend Apparel List →
No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless it’s from Betsey Johnson or Dolce & Gabbana, you weigh less than 130 pounds, have three pairs of Spanx on and it’s New Years Eve.
Long live sorority life!

5th graders are dickbags.
I mean how can a fifth grade class piss me off? I am an adult, hell I used to be a pretty cool adult. Yet here I am letting a bunch of 11 year old KIDS really get under my skin. Its just that there are two total Mean Girls in the class and they whisper and write notes about me in Korean. God it pisses me off and makes me just want to shake them…
I’m wearing a white button down and a pleated skirt today. I can’t decide if I look like Blair Waldorf and unbelievably cute or just like myself in my high school uniform….

Seoul named #3 in NY Times 31 Places to Travel in... →
3. Seoul Forget Tokyo. Design aficionados are now heading to Seoul.
They have been drawn by the Korean capital’s glammed-up cafes and restaurants, immaculate art galleries and monumental fashion palaces like the sprawling outpost of Milan’s 10 Corso Como and the widely noted Ann Demeulemeester store — an avant-garde Chia Pet covered in vegetation.
And now Seoul, under its design-obsessed mayor,...

Barbie Friday!!
My evening consisted of a bang trim, gym time, and manicure. Now I’m packing for the weekend away. That sounds like Barbie Friday if I’ve ever said so.
Ps- I love that I can get 9:00 pm emergency manicures a block from my house. GO KOREA.

There must be something in the air tonight...
I saw at least 10 white people in my neighborhood. It was weird.
Namwon
Aside from all the nature and folklore, I also get to spend some serious quality time with this guy. God am I thrilled!

Shop it to me.
I just bought two pairs of tights, a pair of boots, 5 headbands, and a cardigan on Gmarket.
#I’m so Korean right now.
I’m just going to try my best to shop away my sad feelings and insecurites and hope these pretty new things do their job. (at least opening them will feel like a mini xmas)

By the way...
My google analytics just brought to my attention that someone has searched the following and ended up on my blog:
‘Korean women no pubic hair’
I laughed pretty hard, and then just thought about the jinjibong.
Smart AND Pretty?
So I joined my gym, and I’ve done such a great job of getting my work out on since… but since the gyming has occurred, the Rosetta stone has stopped.
Do I have to make a choice here? Stay home and practice Italian so I can be smart but fat OR go to the gym so I can be skinny but stupid?
Decisions… Decisions… god can’t I just be SMART AND PRETTY!?!?

Praise Jeebus!
My eyes were not playing tricks on me a few weeks ago…there is indeed a sexy white guy living in my building…. not only in my building, but only one floor below me. Now how do I orchestrate a meeting?

Facebook just suggested I ‘say hello’ to a friend that I haven’t spoken to in awhile. I clicked on his profile to see what he’s been up to, and I just found out he passed away about 3 weeks ago. I had no idea.
