Korean Beauty

Korean Beauty

So many people ask me why do Korean women have such great skin. Everyone now seems so obsessed with Korean dramas, K-pop, Korean food, etc, which is wonderful — I’ve never been so proud to say that I am Korean (well, more Korean American than Korean Korean).  Anyway, who doesn’t love all the Korean dramas on Netflix, like My Love from the Star, Crash Landing, Mystic Pop-up Bar, It’s Okay Not to be Okay, etc.  Anyone knows that once you…

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

My sister got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on December 21st. The weather was perfect — sunny, warm and bright. Like all Asian women, as soon as I arrived, I started lathering on the sunscreen to my face. The problem was that the tube that I brought with me was almost empty! I panicked because the particular brand that I like is usually only sold at Dermatologists’ offices (Elta MD UB Shield Broad-Spectrum SPF 45). I went to the…
