Taste Test! Trying Japanese Snacks from 7-Eleven in Tokyo

“Gone for a minute, now I’m back again!”  Just returned from Japan, where I ate everything in sight.  Too jet lagged and starving on our second day to muster the energy to really go out, we ended up trying Japanese snacks for lunch instead.  Just two Americans trying Japanese snacks from a 7-Eleven convenience store in Tokyo! Think of it as a 7-Eleven Japanese snacks Mukbang. We tried some snacks

My First Time in Seoul, South Korea! | Photo Diary + Vlog

I’ve been back in Los Angeles for about a month after visiting Seoul for the first time.  It was somewhat of a spontaneous trip for me- I thought about going on Monday and left that same Friday!  Gangnam was my home base and was where I spent most of my time, with afternoons spent walking around Myeongdong, Garosugil, and other nearby neighborhoods.  Even amidst a streak of summer humidity I

I Got Petite Plastic Surgery in South Korea! My Experience + VLOG

As some of you may or may not already know, I got Petite Plastic Surgery in South Korea while on vacation last month!  I’ve always been interested in testing out new beauty treatments, and I believe in being honest about the things that I do, so I decided to document the entire day and share it with you in the video below.  I hope that if you’re considering receiving Petite

YG Moonshot Cosmetics Fall Makeup Tutorial + Product Review | Korean Beauty Products

If you’ve seen my Instagram you might already know that I was just in South Korea earlier this month.  It seemed like such a crazy quick trip, but I was lucky enough to visit the Moonshot Cosmetics flagship store in Samcheong-dong while I was there!  I got my hands on some of their newest products from the “The First Moon Drawing” collection (just launched September 20th!) and their newly reformulated

Home Sweet Home Oahu | Photo Diary + Vlog

I don’t go home to Oahu as often as I should, so I try to make the most out of it when I do!  While ten days is far too short to fit in everything I would have loved to do, and to see everyone I would have loved to see, I definitely made a dent eating my way (and drinking my way) across the island.  Come to Oahu with

What to Pack for Hawaii: Tropical Travel Essentials

When I’m headed somewhere tropical I like to keep my packing really simple and easy– just the essentials!  I usually start by packing my bikinis and working backwards.  As for beauty, my main concern is sun care so it’s really important that all of my hair and skincare products contain UV protection and SPF. Head over to SONOIRE to read the full story! Stay tuned for my Hawaii Vlog coming soon!

Paris in January | Photo Diary + Vlog

Better late than never, right? Last year I went on a trip to Paris with my BFF, with a day trip to London in between, and shortly after… disaster struck. My hard drive crashed and I lost all video footage and most of my photos. I recently recovered a few clips and thus this mini vlog was born!  Please like and subscribe to my channel for more travel + beauty videos coming soon.

Tea Time in London | Photo Diary

At long last I was able to recover some photos from London and Paris earlier this year (pro tip:  always always always back up your computer when it reminds you to).  Although we spent most of our time in Paris, we decided to take a day trip to London for a quick change of scenery.  Our goal was to go from Paris to London and through the rabbit hole, for the Mad

NYC in January | Photo Diary + Vlog

Short, but sweet.  Its starting to seem like I’ll never be in New York for more than three days at a time.  I think if I managed to stay a full week, I would never want to leave.  My best friend and I made a brief layover in New York on the way to Europe for the chance to enjoy early Winter in the city for a few days.  Although I

January Travels

Starting January off with a bang and lots of jet lag.  While I’ve previously visited about half of these cities before, I try to experience new things during every trip.  I’d love to hear if you have any recommendations on places to go, things to see, and restaurants to dine at!  If you leave me a tip in the comments section below, I’ll try my best to check it out!
