My other obsession is make-up. My mother can tell you that I am not one to wear alot of make-up. It was a fight to get me to wear powder and chap stick. But living in Korea that has changed. Sure I only do make up every once in awhile for going out and such. In Korea alot of people (men and women) are very vain. There are mirrors everywhere and if not mirrors they use whatever shiny surface they can see themselves in. Most women walk around in mini skirts and stilettos. No matter how short your skirt if your wearing tights it's acceptable. Another thing is skin color. Apparently the sun gives you a "bad" complexion so many people walk around with umbrellas. One silly women even opened her umbrella within a bus. With that said there is alot of make-up but not always good for my complexion. But I've found a bunch of make-up tutorials on youtube that are useful. Now my make-up....

I have a confession to make... I am obsessed with doing my nails. When I was hone in the U.S. I did my own nails in Florida because it was alot cheaper to do my nails at home then go to a salon. Plus I've still got a scar on my foot from 2005, where a so called manicurist was doing my foot and cut it with the razor scraper. It's safer and cheaper for me to do it at home. In Korea I thought I would get a mani and pedi every weekend. Not the case. There aren't as many nail places here as in America. So I've taken to the do it yourself method. Sure at first it was a nail polish here and there because it's cheap one dollar or two. But as many of you know I love colors. All kinds of color and I love having choices. One small box expanded into a small box and a medium box. Then I discovered nail art stamps. You paint your nails and put a fast drying polish on this mold, scrape away the excess, transfer the design with a rubber thingy. It's cool for people who can't draw tiny intricate figures or have airbrushing at home. A little before my discovery of this I was at Tina's boyfriends bar CLUB PSYCHO a great place to relax and have a cheap drink (gotta help out with promotion) I met a girl named Inae who is going to school to be a manicurist. She's a really sweet girl and she even did Tina's nails there at the bar. Her and I chatted about nail things and a couple weeks later we met at CLUB PSYCHO again. She gave me some crazy long tips and a nail file for them to play around with. She had learned how to do tips in class and had an abundance of tips. Yay for me. Sooo Inae has this box for her nail supplies. I thought I should get one also to be organized. I tried to order one but the order didn't go through. So this time I ordered an art box and would design in myself. Needless to say I got the box put my stuff in annnd I have one big box and a smaller box for the cotton squares and nail polish remover and some other items. Without further ado my obsession ladies and gents.

Moving was pretty much easy. I was almost all packed up by the day of the move. I had a few stray items out but the moving guys brought extra crates and boxes so that was good. The day I moved there were 4 other people moving out so the elevators were busy but I would say I was moved out of my place in about 40 minutes. The broke down the bed and took down the curtains and such. Ji-Hye and I took care of all the administration stuff and we're just waiting on the moving men to pack the truck and get going. But there was a small problem. They gave the school office one account number but it should have been deposited in another, add to that the chief of administrations phone battery dying and we were waiting for 40 minutes. Finally everything was all ready for me to move. We arrive at the new place rent the moving elevator and I'm unloaded quicker than I was loaded. Yay!!! After I was all finished and everything was taken care of I treated Ji-Hye to lunch for helping me out with everything. Annnd now pics of my apartment.
