Wedding Planning Update #1
After getting engaged at the end of last year, Alex and I made the deliberate decision to save all wedding planning for the new year. By end of January, we were struck with the realization we should probably start planning and making some decisions. I feel like we have gotten a lot of things done in the last month and a half though there is still so much to do! We have almost exactly 6 months to get everything done so fingers crossed. š What we have done so far: What is on our to-do list: I know the list above is still missing a LOT but the way Alex…

What I Read in February 2023
HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AND UNFAIRLY CUTE by Talia Hibbert – 4 stars YA romance from the author of the Brown Sisters trilogy, I had high hopes for Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute and I was not disappointed! Ex-BFFs Bradley and Celine have not spoken to each other in years since they’re big falling apart. In order to win a scholarship for university, they are forced to spend a lot of time together while camping out in the woods. This book was PRECIOUS. Bradley and Celine are nerdy in the most adorable way, and the enemies to lovers trope paired with their innocence was wholesome. The two narrator-s for the audiobook were…

What I Read in January 2023
I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKPOKKI / ģ£½ź³ ģ¶ģ§ė§ ė”ė³¶ģ“ė ėعź³ ģ¶ģ“ by Baek Se-hee / ė°±ģøķ¬ – 3.5 stars I started seeing this title on Bookstagram last year and picked up a copy of the original Korean book while I was in New York last month. While I knew it was about the author’s battle with depression, I hadn’t known that the book is largely about the conversations she has with her therapist and her reflections following. Some of the dialogue felt a bit dry due to the technical language used but I appreciated the back-and-forth between the author and her therapist, which no doubt…

2023 LA Trip Recap
Last week, I went to LA for the first time since I first came to the United States, which was back in 2016. So basically, I was visiting for the first time haha. I don’t think I’ll ever move there (due to the cost of living, traffic, PARKING, etc.) but I had a blast and can’t wait to go back! In today’s blog post, I’m sharing my very favorites/highlights of the trip! THINGS WE ATE Hanu KBBQ – While this is not an all-you-can-eat place, Hanu provided super KBBQ experience (I would say top two for me). They have an extensive selection of banchans and the service was so friendly…
