Today has been lovely. I lounged around in my pajama's until about noon and then threw on some clothes to get some groceries at the local market. On my way (okay, it was out of my way, but only by 5 minutes) I stopped at the stationary store and bought 30,000 won worth of goods. That's a lot to spend on stationary but I assure you it was entirely worth it. Most of it was gifts, anyway! And I also bought a seat pillow while I was there which was 1/3 of the cost!
Anyway, as I said in my last post I'm obsessed with the cosmetics store called The Skin Food. I'm a major fan of fab packaging and the idea in itself is just novel, really. I already decided that my favorite people will be receiving some of these goods for Christmas.
Here are a few pictures to whet your facial appetite:

I can't stop drooling!
Anyway, in other news, David and I are getting a kitty. We are very much animal-persons and we miss our kitties from home very badly. After doing some research on the internet, I realized that Korean bunnies purchased from pet stores usually die within a few weeks. I think this is because they are taken from their mothers too young. They aren't supposed to be away from their momma bunny until 7 weeks, but the bunnies at the pet store are so young they still aren't walking very well.
It's very tragic really, and I know that even sick and/or dying bunnies need love too, but it is incredibly heartbreaking to watch a loved pet die in your hands. I wish there was something more we could do.
But like I said, we are getting a kitty. We found her on AnimalRescueKorea.org. She was a lost kitten who was found and brought to a veterinary clinic. Her profile was posted on Animal Rescue and David and I found her! The clinic is about 1.5 hours away or so, but the woman who found her is driving through Hanam-si (where we live) on Tuesday and bringing her to us then! She is 3 months old, spayed, vaccinated, playful and curious.




2 sprinkles:
Skin Food reminds me a bit of the LUSH brand. If you've never heard of it you should definitely check it out. I think it started in the UK, but they have stores all over the world now.
Ahh! She looks exactly like Khalid!!!
They should get married.
