So the thing about Korea is that

1. The girls have perfect bodies

2. The girls wear perfect outfits every day

3. The girls wear heels evvverywhere

The thing about me is that

1. My body is..err.. not perfect

2. My outfits are a mess every day

3. I suck at heels

So I’ve been trying to work on all of those things a little bit because these cute little girls are very inspiring. And as mentioned before, the shopping here is to die for, so I’m trying to take advantage while I can.  (Being employed is really magical…and dangerous)

A very important step in my new attempt at being glamorous and not just a hippie bum was MY NEW HAIR. Sophia took me to this reallllly chic salon in Uijeongbu and I let them go crazy with the highlights and scissors. I was really nervous because of the language barrier issue and the i-have-light-hair-not-black-hair issue, but I was very happy with how it turned out. She even told me to come back next week for free “hair cleaning”, aka deep moisturizing, because “your hair is very very much damage.” I’d give the whole experience 5 stars, and now I feel very chic with my shorter straight blonde hair, over my longgg wavy dirty hair.

(please ignore my tired face. focus on the hair...)

I’m also trying to amp up the wardrobe a little bit, but I think it will be a drawn out process throughout the year. Beenish and I went nutso in Myeong Dong last night… so that was fun of course. Somehow we can’t bring ourselves to expand outside the Forever 21 bubble. But it’s cheap, and it’s beautiful, so how could we not love it?
