Paris Baguette Boulangerie 🥐
Today the wind is blustery, yet the sun keeps peaking through the clouds. On Sundays, especially a pleasant Sunday in early Springtime like this one, I like to take a walk to my favourite bakery Franchise: Paris Baguette. Undoubtably the mentioning of this Boulangerie isn’t something new to my blog; I’ve certaining scattered my appreciation…
‘Ban Ga Woe Café’ (반가워 카페) – Gulpocheon, Incheon, South Korea.
As much as I enjoy a franchise coffee shop, whether that be in the UK or Korea, sometimes it’s more enjoyable and fitting to appreciate an independent perhaps one-off coffee shop. Blog sites, map applications, travel advisory websites, and social media provide plenty of useful information and recommendations for highly rated, thriving cafés in Seoul…

Bento (弁当) comes in endless varieties: some more traditional than some, whereas others take on a fusion theme combining dishes from multiple regions, countries or continents. Within the last decade or so, Bento may have been introduced outside of Japan via popular restaurant chains including ‘Wasabi’ & ‘itsu’. Undeniably, Anime and Japanese Dramas have additionally…
Mental Health Awareness Week 2018.
Today, Wednesday the 16th of May, marks the middle of Mental Health Awareness Week 2018 (14th-20th May). Truth be told I didn’t notice that this important week had already begun, nor did I have it catalogued in my brain during the lead-up to this informative week: I don’t feel guilty about my ignorance to this….
[Food Review]: Shake Shack.
Today I thought I would finally bring you a fairly overdue food/restaurant review of my beloved Shake Shack. Better late than never, right? The initial hype of Shake Shack may have faded, but evidently the popularity still remains with it’s frequent long lines of drooling customers no matter of the location. I have dined at…
Tea Haul.
Tea or coffee? – In my case I don’t need to hesitate to answer that question. I love a iced mild coffee, but tea comes first and foremost. With the complex blends and infusions that tea manufacturers produce it can take some pondering as to which tea to purchase. Which flavour combinations harmonise well? Honestly…
OCD.
What is it like to have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? I first realised that I had OCD when I was around 8 or 9 years young. I began to notice that I was overly paying attention to organisation, keeping myself too hygienic and constantly cleaning my surroundings. I thought it was normal to be over…
[Mental Health]: Calm Kit.
When reading about how people manage their mental health or how to cope with the general stresses of life I began to contemplate my own methods. When adopting these coping mechanisms I seemingly chose them subconsciously without neccassarily pondering why I did so; which I suppose is a good aspect a it means I didn’t…
Where to eat in South Korea #1 – Seoul Food 🇰🇷🥢
Food has become a consistent topic on my blog. I have discussed the foods I have eaten in reacounts of my daily life and outings, as well as occasional taste experiences abroad plus numerous recipes. However until now I haven’t given the names of many of the restaurants and fast food joints I have enjoyed…
My Long Haul Flight Essentials.
The first flight I ever took was of April last year. It was a long haul flight from England to South Korea; and I was well prepared considering my close family members had never been on a flight themselves in order to be able to give me advice for this independent travel experience. Only problem…
[Food]: 25 Korean Dishes.
By no means am I an expert when it comes to Korean cuisine: I simply haven’t digested enough of it yet – luckily. Despite regularly rotating between my most favourite Korean dishes I believe I have tried enough or am aware of plenty of traditional and modern Korean meals to comply a list. If you…
[South Korea]: A Guide of Places to Visit.
Yesterday evening I composed a pole on one of my social media accounts to determine which post write today. By demand, 56% of voters preferred that I delicate a post to ‘places to visit in South Korea’. Quite some time ago I wrote a similar post about London, feel free too take a peek: Since…
Life with a Kitten.
A few weeks ago I vaguely mentioned my new pet kitten named Aki. She has been a wonderful introduction to our lives so it was guaranteed that I’d write about her in more detail. My boyfriend and I had repeatedly discussed of owning pets, particularly a cat and a Malamute. For now our current residence…
Read with Coffee: Random chit-chat.
When I thought about writing this post I had many things I wanted to rant about, after all my blog is my outlet, and also just talking about random whatever thingys (-not a really word). I can’t promise that this post will be interesting and doubt it will be enlightening… Topic numero uno (I’m not…
Disappointing purchases.
We’ve all been there. Brought something enticed by it’s offer price or been igronant towards online product reviews, only to be disappointed feeling like you have wasted you money. I think the more we discuss ‘bad’ or unworthy products rather than just raving about all the great finds, we can probably help each other to…
My experience of taking antidepressants.
Firstly I want to make it clear that I’m most definitely not the type of person to ‘fashionalise’ mental health illnesses or discuss depression in the hope of recieving sympathy. Infact to recieve sympathy would make me feel worse about myself, I’d feel horridly guilty of taking someone’s time and impacting them with such negative…
Learning is a life long process.
We never stop learning. From the moment we’re born we’re learning about our bodies and exploring our environments through the use of our senses, we spend our childhoods and teenage years in an education system, we grow in knowledge by the world of work. Until our last days we observe to gain understanding, continuously engaged…
My travel essentials for my trip to Osaka, Japan.
In a month I’m taking a brief week long trip to Osaka, Japan. It’s going to be equally or even colder there this December than it is in Korea and certainly at least entering the minus degrees which the UK doesn’t experience until late January or February. Apart from the obvious essentials including a thick…
Where to go in London 🇬🇧
Of course anyone visiting London could simply Google something along the lines of ‘Top 10 places to visit in London’, but sometimes those search results lack reviews or have lengthy websites informing us about them. Here I have assembled a little guide of my favourite places in London which I deem to be worth a…
