Korea is one of the world's capital for plastic surgery But let us NEVER forget...Korea’s world renowned style of food preparation! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT KOREAN FOOD??! Anyone who knows me, even just a little , is fully aware that I'm obsessed with food! I’m a foodie and most of the people I love are foodies too! Right?! While living in Korea, my senses are in a state of shock! The spice is spectacular, as is the number of distinct ways rice and other simple ingredients can be made to taste different & so damn delectable! I'm excited for every new meal! Living in Korea is teaching me abou...

In this post, I want to continue to motivate myself and others to get the body they want, need and deserve! For me, achieving the body type that I have always wanted is well on the way to becoming a reality! As many of you know, I’m a pretty health conscious person and along with working hard to avoid “dangerous foods,” I also try to keep active. However, I’ve realized that though my past routine was working better than doing nothing at all, it was not enough. I have ALWAYS battled with weight and my innate desire to always consume absolutely fabulous and delicious foods. For this reason, I, like many women I know, was on this diet & exercise roller-coaster ride that had no end in sight. Meaning, I’d go super hard and make progress (usually in spring and summer) and then self-sabotage myself by feeling & looking “good enough” to indulge in the “good-life” … a little. Well, the period of indulgent seemed to always last a little too long and reflected in the way I looked &...

Sow a thought, and you reap an act; Sow an act, and you reap a habit; Sow a habit, and you reap a character; Sow a character, and you reap a destiny. - Charles Reade Do you write your goals down? If not, why? Is it because you look at it the same way you do flossing? Something you know, and have been told repeatedly, is a great way to stay healthy and yet the actual act of doing it just somehow never gets done. No? You actually do floss on a regular basis. Wow, you are extraordinary! Well, me and most other Americans, 73% actually, would rather go grocery shopping. So, I guess you also write and update your goals than too?! Go get um, Tiger! But as I mentioned, “The Time Has Come!” So here are my life goals: * Achieve ULTIMATE physical health and mental well-being * ASAP, Earn a Master’s Degree at the School for International Training (SIT) in Vermont * Become proficient in more than 5 languages (English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, soon to be French and ??) * Live & work ...

Inner Peace and Positivity as we set sail into this Pivotal New Year! The time has come, in my life, to look much further in advance than ever before. Once a woman so greatly fulfilled by the mysterious pleasures concealed within each surprising moment, I felt it limiting and undesirable to plan for the days that followed in advance. Ultimate freedom and the true maximization of ones 20’s, to me, was being open to the will of the wind. As a result, my life thus far has planted me in and out (thankfully) of some tremendously educational adventures. However, recently a combination of multiple factors has encouraged me to question the longevity, cause, effect and true reasoning behind my “will of the wind” life philosophy. Turning 26, living partially and/or fully abroad for the last 7 years, entering my first and hopefully last true-love relationship, and the timing of the changing year are a few. I’m growing up, and I look SO forward to living a comfortable & adventurous life. This...
