Seoul, South Korea Trip 2016 Warning Long post.
Hello, Guys So I Went to Seoul Two Months Ago for a week. This was my first time out of the country. It was very life changing eye opening experience I wanted to go to Korea for a very long time and was suppose to go 2-3 years ago but couldn't. it was also a very bittersweet moment for me as I lost contact with a person I was going to see years ago. My Flight was an early morning Flight which I prefer because there's not as much traffic going through TSA. I went From SFO to SEA then from there to ICN the flight was long but watching The Regular Show, Adventure Time and Minions helped pass the time. When I arrived my Friend Ryan met me at the Airport which I was surprised and excited about because I wasn't expecting him to meet me there. We went to Seoul via the subway which can be a beautiful scene on its own. we took that to the Seoul Station and went Shopping at Lotte Mart I got a 2 pack Aloe Vera Gel from Missha and an eyeshadow palette from their line collab. we then took the bus to Itaewon where my Airbnb accommodations were I highly recommend Judy and Peter although I didn't stay long and ended up moving in with Ryan and his family. Speaking of Which Ryan and I had Chicken and Beer the first night I arrived. The First full day in Seoul I went to Myeongdong which was packed I didn't leave the apartment until the afternoon and became completely lost in Itaewon trying to find the Subway Station. Myeongdong was packed and lucky I decided to wear my really cute Skirt and a cute Crop Top that day. Myeongdong was packed with people as to be expected. the first shop I went too was Banila Co and brought the highly raved about Zero Makeup Remover. From there I went to smaller shops and brought socks and trinkets. I made a stop to Tony Moly, Etdue House, Lush, Nature Republic and other stores. After about a few hours in Myeongdong I went home only to get lost on the bus. 😅 The Second Day I moved in with my friends family and had breakfast with them then off to Hongdae for me. I walked around Hongdae and met up with a group of other Foreigners and sat and talked at this boba tea cafe from there i said goodbye to my new pals and went to Gangnam where I met up with Ryan I looked around the Gangnam station theres a huge shop there and i mean huge. I got something to Drink at Burger King and tried to look for the SM Town Aritum at Coex mall but didn't realize it was a station or two after Gangnam Station. when I finally met up with Ryan we went to the Aritum and looked around. I completely fangirled as I looked around at the different display. I ended up getting an F(x) picture post card. After we looked around and found the Kakaotalk store sadly i didn't buy anything. We finally left and went to The Han River where we walked around and talked. We finally stopped to get something to eat at Lotteria so good. The Third Day Ryan and I went to Gyeongbokgung Palace but before we went there we stopped at a book store and i brought a Magazine HyunA was on the cover. after we went inside the palace and it was beautiful and there was a pond near by where we sat and talked. From there we walked to Insadong to grab something to eat. I had a huge bowl of Bibimbap which was so good but way too much for me to eat alone. After we looked around and went to Cheonggyecheon Stream where we walked around and I got stopped by a chinese lady who wanted to take a picture with me lol. Later we went back to Itaewon to get blue lemonade from standing coffee which was so good the taste remind me of those sour candy warhead we then went to the Kitten Cafe in Myeongdong to play with the Cats who were practically sleeping. lol The 4th day I went to the Bau House which was so adorable as the puppies would sit right next to you and let you rub their bellies. from there i went to Dongdaemun market and ate 빈대떡(Bindaetteok) which is a Korean style pancake. we then went to the shopping mall and looked around we then went home. My Last full day I went back to Insadong to try on a Hanbok which I was hesitant about since I'm not Korean but my friend said i should do it so i did. We met up with his parents and went to a Buddhist Temple from there we went to a another place in Insadong to eat some Bulgogi. We then went to Seoul Tower and took a lot of pictures after we went to The Han River to watch the light show after went Lotte Mart and Burger King he also wished me a Happy Birthday sinces i celebrated it in Korea. we eventually went home. My last night and morning was bittersweet as i had became attached to his family but i was going to see my family. i held back tears telling them goodbye and then hugging Ryan goodbye at the airport. i miss Korea and i can't wait to go back. Heading home i did go over Japan and it was beautiful to see the lights below i can't wait to go to Japan and actually be able to Land and walk around. The flight back home was long and i didn't make it home until like 11 because of a delay getting to SFO but i was glad to see my family was happy to see me and missed me. Well i have to get ready for work soon i'll post pictures either tomorrow or after work tonight until then see you soon.

Haul Time Etude House, Bath and Body Works and much more + Update
Hello Today i have a collective haul for you guys. I did a little shopping over the past month or two and instead of doing a bunch of little post i decided to do one big post i'll try to have links for all the products. Sorry i haven't been posting much had a lot of personal things going on plus work so it's been a little hard for me but i'm ok now. I'll start with Bath and Body works i ordered online during their Semi Annual Sell they have going on Shipping was pretty fast and got to me in a timely manner.
Bourbon Strawberry & Vanilla Shower Gel $6.25
First I picked up BourBon Strawberry & Vanilla Shower Gel priced at $6.25
I Also got the matching Body Lotion to go with it in fact I got matching sets to all the scents i'm showing you guys. ^^
Next I Got Sunset by the pool. I smelled it at the store when it came out but never got the chance to buy it so when i saw it on sell i had to grab it so again i brought both the Shower Gel and Lotion
The Scent i picked up was Paris- Pink Champagne and Tulip When I saw this on the site i wanted to try it since i usually like Bath and Body works Paris Collections i thought i would give it a go.
I also decided to pick up Maui Mango Surf i wanted to get it when it came out last Spring but missed out on the chance to get it. It also helps that i really really love mangos. ;)
This one I got because one i love the name and two i really like peaches and sweet teas especially if the peaches comes from my families Home state Georgia.
The Last Thing I got From Bath and Body works was something i wanted for over a year. The Previous Semi Annual sell i was able to get the Body wash Sweet Summer Kiss but they didn't have the lotion come a year later they had the lotion to match the shower gel i brought previously. I'll show both the shower gel i brought last year but they are selling both right now.
I Also went shopping on Ebay a month ago but received my orders in different times one thing i did order was a new magsafe for my Macbook Air while doing that i added a few things on my cart. First I went to BeautyNetKorea's ebay Store and brought two Etude House Items
First was Etude House Lip Concealer priced at $5.69 Then I got Color in Liquid Lips in color pp502 which is a shade of purple cost $8.27 with my order they gave me free samples Tony Moly Goat Milk Moisture Cream, Tony Moly Camel Milk Cream, Tony Moly Auqaporin Moisture Cream, Tony Moly Goat Milk CC cream in #1 SPF 30 PA++
A little thank you for shopping with them note. ^^
Free Samples ^^
I've been wanting to find something to put my hair back when i'm washing my face and applying makeup. I came across a Bath Spa bow head wrap for $0.99
I wanted to Try the Japanese cosmetics brand Canmake's Face Primer so i added it in my cart it cost me $11.95 plus $4.90 shipping and handling it promises to cover pores and has a matte finish it also has an SPF 18 PA++
Note: This is not the seller i brought from unfortunately they sold out just in case they come back in stock here's the link to the seller. Alphabeautyuk
I Originally Ordered Dolly Wink limited edition colored eyeliner but the seller sent me the regular Dolly Wink black eyeliner fortunately we sorted it out and is sending me the correct product and gave me this for free. ^^
I Also went to Etude House website to Order a few things from there. They vary between Makeup to Skincare.
I Wanted To Try the Beauty Shot Face Blur Primer they had it on sell for about $12 its more than $18 regular price it claims to be a natural beauty filter helping cover pores and even out skin tones I believe. It has an SPF 33 PA++ i might do a comparison with Canmake's primer.
I also needed an eye cream and decided to try this one out. it has a cooling effect when applied and it's adorably packaged. It claims to help dark patches and eye swelling.
I heard amazing things about these sheet masks so i decided to order me a few i also order 2 for my friends not pictured here plus they were on sale for $0.70 regular price $1.20. I got Aloe Vera, Vita Complex, Royal Jelly and Pearl.
I also wanted to try this just to give it a shot.
I also decided to get a new liquid eyeliner from there since i'm in need of a new one and i've wanted to try Etude's eyeliners
I always have to have hand lotion on me at all times. I wash my hands a lot and I don't like them feeling dry.
This i got on mistake i ordered Help My Fingers Dry Drops but they sent me Cuticle Salon Care Kit instead. They gave me a refund hopefully my next order i'll get the dry drops.
That is All i got in my haul i hoped you enjoyed until next time bye bye ^^
