Now I know what you’re thinking, “isn’t that a bit much…” but I’d argue that you’re never too much for the right person (I’m right person). 

Everything about this screamed extra, but in the best way; a scalp consult, aromatic oil massage, herbal masks, steam therapy, a neck massage… the video speaks for itself. 

After a long flight, this luxurious experience is exactly what my body is screaming for, and I can only imagine how amazing she felt after this. 

If you didn’t stop by Olive Young for the essentials, were you ever actually in Korea? 

A mind-altering experience; imagine multiple floors of all the K-beauty products you could ever dream of - hello?? It's safe to say I’d have some major decision fatigue and a lot of money leaving my bank account. 

I’m curious to see how she’ll find the products she’s picked! Especially the Mediheal face masks because my coworkers and I LOVE them. 

I’m salivating as I write this: aromatic scents steaming from the hot pot, fluffy but crispy rice topped with juicy premium steak, and a fresh selection of pickled vegetables on the side… 

Chives to cut through the rich texture of raw egg folded into the rice, the subtle flavour of sesame seeds for added depth…

I’d go there every day too, Soph. 

Because wellness is cool, aesthetic, and premium, it only makes sense that Seoul has an ‘Erewhon’ - but don’t think of it as a dupe, more of something familiar (through screens), but with a Korean twist. 

Twelve’s Wonder Bar serving the most picturesque smoothies, freshly curated salads perfectly lined up against the edge of shelves; it’s something straight out of my Pinterest feed. 

Soph went back the next day for their lunch boxes - and they look slightly, canteen-vibes for my liking, but I’m not knocking it till I try for myself.
