Top 10 Things We Miss About The UK

We've been living in Korea for 5 months now, so we're just over half way through our limited time in the land of our dreams. However, while we have wanted to come here for sooooo long, there are still things we just can't stop wishing we could have brought along with us. Here's our Top 10 things we miss about the UK. 

10. Savory Snacks & Baked Goods

"Why?" You might ask. Well, while Korea might have a wide array of snacks and treats, and literally a million Paris Baguettes dotted all over the country, it would seem Koreans aren't so fond of salt and savory products. Be it your salt-flavoured crisps or your fresh hot dog, you can guarantee that when you bite into it, you'll be hit with the not so faint taste of sugar. 

Now, if you like sweet things then Korea is definitely the place for you! But, if you have more of a savory palette and prefer the sweet tingle of salt on the tip of your tongue, then better luck next time. Even the chips at McDonald's aren't as salty as the ones back home. 

The irony of the situation is, when Koreans go on trips to the UK, they often come back and complain that our food is too salty and greasy. Just goes to show how valid the sayings 'To each their own' and 'Different strokes for different folks' really are. 

Don't get us wrong, there's nothing wrong with a sweet snack every now and then, but there's days when we'd kill for a packet of Ready Salted Walkers or a Greggs' sausage roll. 

Welcome to the Haniverse #3 :: Keeping Our Heads Above Water

Long time no see, guys! It's already been two weeks since our last installment, and that's because a LOT has happened during those two weeks; even though we've seemed fairly quiet. But today, we're finally going to fill you in. 

Actually, because the 'personal' section of this post is going to be unfortunately, fairly serious, we're going to talk about our uploads first this time around and then get to the knitty-gritty of our illnesses later...

:: Recent & Upcoming Uploads ::

Harmony: In our last WttH post I told you guys that I had some Valentine's themed videos prepared for you guys, but unfortunately due to us being incredibly ill, we were hardly able to blog, talk less film, in the last two weeks, so I wasn't able to do those videos as I announced on our Facebook page. That said, while Valentine's Day has passed, I still intend to record and upload those videos as a 'First Date' theme instead since I really put a lot of effort into planning those videos and would really like to share them with you guys. 

While we weren't able to do much, Hanzel had previously recorded our Q&A video made up of all the questions you guys asked during our giveaway event! But not only that, he recorded the entire video in Korean! It was quite the ordeal to record but we had tonnes of fun with it, we'd definitely like to do a video all in Korean again. (Oh my, it'll probably be me next time, won't it...) It was also nice that we got loads of personal questions as well as general ones, it's really sweet to know that you guys want to know more about us personally too. 

Our First Q&A + Our First Full Length Korean Video!

So after you guys asked and asked and asked, Hanzel finally decided to take the challenge and shoot our first full Korean video! He decided it'd be easier to go without a script (though I'm sure he's half regretting it now), but he gave it his best shot nonetheless. 

There are quite a few mistakes, but it was definitely fun to shoot, and when our Korean has improved a little more, we'll definitely do another video in Korean for you guys! 

Anyway, for now, Hanzel answered every single question we got for our giveaway, so if you asked something be sure to check out it! 

My Skincare Routine || 나의 피부 관리 루틴 (Updated!!)

Last year summer I told you guys about my everyday skincare routine, but since coming to Korea, a lot of my routine has changed, and in some ways, improved too! As you know South Korea is a mecca of skincare and cosmetic products, so I've had a lot more at my finger tips. So, today I'm giving you a full in-depth explanation of my new routine, my opinions on some products I've tried in Korea, and recommendations on some things I think everyone should be using! 

Disclaimer: Since I'm basically OBSESSED with skincare, what I do might seem like a bit 'much' to some people, so I'm definitely not writing this as what I think everyone should be doing, this is just what I do. I'll let you know throughout the post the steps I think are essential and the steps that I use personally. 

Welcome to the Haniverse #2 :: Culture, Health & Beauty

What's up, guys? We're back with another installment of Welcome to the Haniverse! If you have no idea what we're on about, then you might want to refer back to last week's WttH post.

This week has definitely been a good one for productivity! We've managed to upload a videos and a bunch of blog posts, and finish the month with a bang. January seriously came and went faster than expected, but it's all good, we've got some great stuff lined up for February too. Be sure to check out the 'Recent & Upcoming Uploads' section of this post if you're curious.

On a personal note, unfortunately we're still sick and after our trip to the doctor's, it doesn't seem we'll be well any time soon, but we've taken a lot of time out to relax this week (we actually cancelled all of our plans this week.) Tomorrow we'll hopefully be back at the hospital for tests, and the results will be out the following Tuesday, and we'll see how things go from there... But it's not all bad, we had some fun experiences this week too~
