Relaxing at Lotte Hotel Jeju

They have a Hello Kitty room....how cute is that?! We all know how high maintenance and pricey she can be so I didn't even bother to ask how much an accommodation like that was per night.

Drinking some juice and coffee down at the cafe/lounge area. 

Their sweets in the bakery looked so mouth watering. Korea always has cute little desserts in all the cafe/coffee shops I know. 

 This was their lounge area where we sat, looked out the window and enjoyed our drinks. As you can see it was a pretty quiet day.

 Within the hotel is a duty free gift shop. I went crazy on the cosmetic overload. These cute little animal lotions- I couldn't decide on which one so I bought all four. (Even though I already had some back home from last time!)

And here where some perfume sticks that you rub on the wrist area. They kind of remind me of glue sticks. These didn't smell the greatest so I passed.

The weather was perfect with just a slight breeze to cool of the summer heat. I dressed casual so I felt relaxed and comfortable most of the day. Sometimes when you're always on the go and busy trying to catch up, it's nice to sit down, catch your breath and relax.

With so much to see at every corner walking has become more adventuresome. Every day brings something new and with different people which turns into good times.There's always so much to see and do here that I'm making it a mission to do it all. Friends and I were thinking about going the backpacking route. I've never done it before but I've been giving it some serious thought lately. We plan on stepping on new grounds next summer and seeing other parts of Korea besides my norm of Seoul and Jeju. It should be interesting.

Easter Weekend

I've been running around trying to find last minute items for my Easter goody baskets. Naturally, I had to try some spring dresses on while passing through the mall. I fell in love with this soft lilac one from F21. Perfect for the spring. Also, I baked a sweet vanilla cake for tomorrow's dessert topped with sprinkle confetti. Now all I have to do is decide what's for dinner...

My week in a snap

 This week went by in a flash. Spring is now here offering warming days and sunny rays.


I've been wearing the heck out of my new G-Shock Casio watch given to me for my bday. I love it!

 I got this iphone cover for my HK obsessed friend. Birds of a feather flock together.


It's so hard not to get tempted to buy anything when you're trying to save, save, save. I was a good girl and just stuck to window shopping...for the most part.

 And then the money I DID save actually went to eating out with friends. *fail* Totally worth it though.

Cute things

Some days I just waste time looking at cute things on the internet.............

This always gives me that warm fuzzy feeling, and puts a big ol' smile on my face. Occasionally, the typical girl squeal of, "Awwww, how cute," will be followed as well.

Black Saturday

I avoided shopping on Black Friday because, well, it's always chaotic. Not that today was any better, but at least people weren't as crazy and wild. My first stop was Dillard's because my friend had mentioned they had handbags 50% off. My goal was to snatch up a nice MK bag, or maybe even a cute wallet. The outcome- all the good styles were of course long gone. Hmm, guess it wasn't meant to be. Steph scored and stocked up on Coach wristlets though to give out as Christmas gifts. Maybe I'll be one of the recipients. *grin*

Sephora didn't really have much going on, but I did fall prey for the Nars Orgasm nail polish. This color was just too pretty to pass up. Sometimes when I'm looking around in that store I get tempted to buy cosmetics that I don't even use or need! A girl's got to be  and firm shopping in there...ha! Just point A to B....nothing in between.

I got my Zelda game! I've been playing that thing none stop. After a while though I get a little nauseous from all that movement and different camera angles. Plus, in this game you need to do a lot of interaction by moving, slashing and jumping around. This will be my excuse to skip the gym on some days.

All that shopping worked up an appetite so we stopped by my favorite Korean restaurant. Their kimchi fried is the best I've had! I tried asking the server exactly how and what exact ingredients they use for the dish, but she was pretty vague and close lipped. Maybe I should have laid out her tip ahead of time... eh eh.

The afternoon ended with a nice Twilight marathon with the girls. I went to go see Breaking Dawn last weekend and so now my girlfriends and I are crazy over the saga all over again. Why must they torture us for another whole year until the next movie release?? Come on!

Oh! I finally found my nice coat for the winter. Luckily I saw the last one (in Forever 21) and it just so happened to be my size. Score! Don't you love that feeling of finding the last one of something and it just happens to be right for you? The worst is when you see it, want it, but then there's a hole or stain on it. Grudge.

I'll show pics of my jacket soon. I'm planning a trip to the Grand Canyon in the next couple weeks so that will be my excuse to whip it out, instead of just saving it for "that occasion" or "something special."
