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…
My husband keeps telling me that I have too many beauty product gadgets. He is right, I do. But I can’t help it. When I check my Instagram or Facebook (which I don’t really use anymore because my kids are telling me that NO ONE uses Facebook – hmmm), there are so many beauty product ads, and they all seem so convincing. I’m a marketers dream client … !! Basically, a sucker for anything that sounds good. I’ve bought many…
Yes, it has been a long long time since my last post, but I have a really good excuse. I’ve been writing two books and three movie scripts! I finished all of them. You can check out the books on Amazon books — Sisterhood in the Workplace (women helping women to succeed) and High Hopes (a romance novel). I love writing because it really helps me zone out and relax – it’s like meditation. For those of you still…
I’m currently in Singapore for work and whenever I stay at a hotel, my neck starts to hurt. I’ve been having issues with pain around my neck and shoulders for years. It is due to the stress at work and my bad posture at my desk (ie., when I sit for long periods of time, I can’t help but slouch forward). In last few months, it has become so bad that I get headaches and pain along my left arms….
My friends are wondering how I have time to even write these blogs, especially when I’m so busy with other stuff. My answer to this is that I find writing therapeutic. I have no desire to do this to get free products (like a lot of other bloggers) because I already have tons of creams, makeup, gadgets, etc. Getting free stuff would take the best part out of all of this, which is shopping for the latest products!…
I remember when I was a young associate at a US law firm, I met a female banker who had a reputation for being difficult and demanding, so people called her the “bit@chy” banker (Note: I have to be careful not to use any profanity because as you know from my previous blog, this website used to be associated with a porn site!). I was young then, so very impressionable and thought that most rumours were true. I know it…
Nick and I went to Bali for Chinese New Year. We have a villa there in Cemagi. The flight takes about four hours from Hong Kong. I usually watch a movie, but I’ve travelled so much recently that I have basically seen every movie that they have on their flights. So on my flight to Bali, I opened the inflight sales magazine and took a look to see if there was anything interesting. As you can guess, I already have…
About eight years ago, I used to go to a famous hairstylist in Hong Kong. He was expensive but now that he is really really famous, he is ridiculously expensive so I no longer go to him. The last time I saw him, he was talking about the difference in the way Asian women and Caucasian women age. He said that Asian women’s face get fatter whereas Caucasian women’s face get thinner. The Caucasian women lose a lot of fat…
The other day, I was at a conference where a senior woman was presenting a business related topic. There were women who were sitting behind me and I could hear what they were saying. Trust me, I had no intention of eavesdropping but they were speaking very loudly. When the female speaker went on stage, I could hear the ladies behind me say, “What is she wearing? That dress is too tight for her. Her stomach is bulging out —…
The makeup artist in Taiwan did a decent job, but I think the colors he used were very plain and dull. Just brown, beige … very neutral colors on eyes and cheeks, so I looked BORING. Anyway, I noticed that the one thing that all makeup artists use is the pink Beauty Blender. I have two of them at home — one normal size and one small size. I’ve tried other blenders, including the Japanese one, but the Beauty Blender…
