In this winter Seoul vlog, I’m taking you through a few cozy, real-life days in Korea—starting with my new winter nails (they’re giving tweed/Chanel vibes and I’m honestly obsessed). Then… my MacBook literally decided to leave me. It suddenly wouldn’t turn on or charge, and after the service center told me the repair would cost more than a new laptop, I went MacBook shopping. I ended up buying a secondhand one (I love refurbished/secondhand options because they feel more eco-friendly and they’re usually cheaper), and I got it in silver again—plus now I finally have Korean keys. After that, it’s all about winter outings in Seoul: I take you cafe hopping in the Jongno/Ikseon-dong area to a super pretty hanok-style cafe, and I meet up with one of my longtime Korean friends (we’ve known each other since 2012!) to plan a future Japan trip. I also show you some Korean makeup I’ve been loving lately—clean, wearable “everyday” shades with packaging that’s so simple but sleek and aesthetic. And because winter in Korea makes my eyes water like crazy, I share my must-have tip: go for waterproof, smudge-proof mascara so it doesn’t melt down your face in the cold.
