Let’s talk bloating, shall we?
If you’ve ever felt like your stomach turns into a balloon for no clear reason, same. I’ve been dealing with bloating for years, like, not just before my period, but pretty much all month long. It made me feel heavy, sluggish, and just plain uncomfortable.
I honestly thought it was just part of life… until I realized it really shouldn’t be.Here’s what you should know...
Some of my friends never had issues like this, and that made me think: “Okay, something’s off.” I tried a bunch of things, random teas, trendy detox drinks, skipping meals (bad idea), but nothing actually helped. And the truth is, I wasn’t listening to my body. I was just copying what worked for someone else.

You know that feeling when your face is basically glued to your pillow because your night mask decided to turn into a sticky mess overnight? Yep, I’ve been there too. and that’s exactly why I was a bit skeptical when I decided to try the Belif Super Knights Regenerating Night Mask.
I’ve had a love-hate relationship with sleeping masks. Most of the ones I tried just felt heavy, sticky, and honestly, too much, especially for someone like me who sleeps on their belly (hello, pillow face). So I was really hoping this one would be different… and spoiler alert: it kind of blew me away.

Let’s be real, summer makeup can be a bit tricky. The heat, the sweat, the humidity… sometimes it feels like your makeup is melting off five minutes after you put it on.

If you're the kind of girl who loves a no-fuss, everyday look that gives "I woke up like this" vibes (but with a bit of help), you're in the right place. Let me walk you through my go-to products for summer that I genuinely reach for all the time. They’re lightweight, pretty, and perfect for that effortless glow.

Is It Too Late to Start a Vegetable Garden? What You Can Still Grow This Season
Tuesday, May 27, 2025
If you’re wondering whether it’s too late to start a vegetable garden, you’re not alone. Gardening can feel a bit overwhelming if you're not sure when to plant what — especially if spring is already halfway gone or the weather hasn’t been on your side. But the good news? It’s almost never too late to grow something. You just have to know what works now.easy way to get fresh vegetables in your lifes.
Since moving from the city back to the countryside, I’ve really been enjoying the slow-living lifestyle. Gardening has naturally become part of that, from preparing the soil to checking the plants daily. This year, I started planting a little later than planned. The weather just wasn’t great at the beginning of the season, and I didn’t want to risk my plants freezing. If I had planted tomatoes or peppers earlier, they probably wouldn’t have survived, and I’d need to start over.
So if you're behind, don’t stress. Late starts happen, and they can actually work in your favor.

4 Korean Dating Shows Worth Binge Watching (From Someone Who’s Totally Hooked)
Tuesday, May 20, 2025
If you're anything like me, you might’ve started watching Korean dramas and suddenly found yourself falling down the rabbit hole of K-variety—and before you know it, you’re obsessively bingeing Korean dating shows.
That’s exactly how it started for me. After watching a few K-dramas, clips from shows like Running Man and Heart Signal started showing up on my feed. I used to roll my eyes at most Western dating shows—they always felt a little too cringey and vulgar for my taste. But Korean dating shows? Completely different vibe. They felt more natural, more respectful, and honestly… way more binge-worthy.
So if you’ve been curious or want to know which ones are actually worth your time, here are my top 4 Korean dating shows that you have to watch:
1. Heart Signal (하트시그널)
This was my gateway dating show—and it still holds a special place in my heart. My favorite seasons are Season 2 and 3, mostly because of the participants and how their stories unfolded. What makes Heart Signal stand out is the fun of guessing who likes who (I’m usually pretty good at it 😌) and the genuine connections that slowly develop.
There’s also a Chinese version of Heart Signal that I’ve really enjoyed watching too. If you're new to Korean dating shows, this is where I’d recommend starting—it’s wholesome, stylishly filmed, and has just enough drama to keep you hooked without feeling fake.
2. Transit Love / EXchange (환승연애)
I’ll be honest—I was confused by the concept at first. Exes living together? Sounds like a mess… but it’s actually SO good. Transit Love gives a completely different emotional experience. You really get to understand why couples broke up, and sometimes it’s heartbreaking. But it’s also fascinating to see whether they’ll reconnect or fall for someone new.
Seasons 2 and 3 were my favorites. Some moments seriously made me tear up. It’s emotional, real, and you find yourself rooting for everyone—even if you’re not sure what outcome you want for them.
3. Love Catcher (러브캐처)
This show has a fun, twisty concept: some people are there for love, others are there for money. And no one knows who’s who.
It adds a bit of suspense, and I loved trying to figure out who’s a Love Catcher and who’s a Money Catcher. It’s intense, but also fun to see how true intentions reveal themselves. It’s one of those shows where you think you’ve got someone figured out… and then you're completely wrong.
4. Nineteen to Twenty (19/20)
This was the first Korean dating show I watched that focused on young adults, and it was honestly so pure and refreshing. The concept of following the cast as they go from their teen years into their twenties was really sweet—and surprisingly emotional.
What I especially loved was that one of the couples from this show is still together today. That’s the kind of real-life love I’m here for. The show feels nostalgic and cozy, and I love that it gave the participants space to grow, not just romantically, but personally too.
Final Thoughts
I tend to binge these shows once they’ve finished airing (the weekly wait is torture for me!). Right now, I’m counting down the days until Heart Pairing airs so I can devour it in one go.
While shows like Single’s Inferno have gotten a lot of hype—and I did enjoy seasons 2, 3, and 4—I still prefer shows that feel more genuine and less manufactured for drama. I watch Korean dating shows to feel something, not just to witness unnecessary arguments. I want to see how love naturally unfolds, even in a controlled TV setting.
And let’s not ignore how aesthetic these shows are. The way they’re filmed, the fashion, the settings—it’s all so visually satisfying. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if you find yourself dreaming of going on one.
If you’ve never watched a Korean dating show before, start with Heart Signal. Trust me—you’ll be hooked in no time.
