Welcome to my blog!

Hi there! Let me introduce myself. My name is Rosie and I'm 24 years old. I was born and raised in the United States and lived in my hometown until about a year ago. I have always been a bit of a beauty junkie and had settled into a comfortable (ahem, boring) routine with my trusty arsenal of tried and true products. But when I caught the travel bug last year and made the huge transition to move to South Korea, I had to face some big questions: 

1. If I can only pack two suitcases for my big move, is it socially acceptable to fill the first with shampoo, deodorant, foundation and mascara? (For the record, no... that would not have been socially acceptable.) 

2. How could I possibly survive a year without access to a Sephora?! (I am still figuring this one out.) 

3. Will Korean products be any good? (More on this later...)

And most importantly,
4. Do they sell my favorite products in Korean stores?

Unfortunately, the answer to question #4 was "rarely". So what did I do? I had a ton of fun trying out new stuff! Some of my blog posts will center around my interesting experiments with Korean products, while others will review my favorite American products.

But wait, the top of my blog says that I'm writing about "beauty, from the inside out." What does that mean? Beauty products are my weakness, but my other great obsession is holistic health (including nutrition and natural skincare)! Lots of my blog posts will address these topics so that you can be beautiful from, you guessed it, the inside out. (Disclaimer: I am not a licensed professional. I did not study holistic healthcare, nutrition, dermatology, etc. I am simply writing about my own personal experiences and opinions.) 

So now that I've introduced myself to you, please feel free to introduce yourself   in the comment section. I'd love to hear about your experiences or feel free to ask me any questions. I hope you will find my blog both interesting and useful!

xoxo Rosie
