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…

It's All About The Alkaline

Coming to The Farm Spa in San Benito, Philippines, was not an easy task!  I asked the Spa to arrange for car pick up at airport, but they got the dates mixed up so they were not there to meet me.  I took a regular taxi, but before I got in, I repeatedly asked the driver, “You definitely know where this place is, right?”  He said, “Yes, of course!”  Well, turns out that he knew how to get to Lipa…
