Recently, I saw a DKDKTV video in my feed that grabbed my attention. It was called "BTS is Low Quality Music". Of course, I couldn't scroll on by after that. I had to see what this was about. The video was an answer to Parkgaedae's video "BTS is McDonald's" (which he has since deleted). His… Continue reading Is BTS Low Quality Music?

Faux Fur + Perfect Presents
My brother hasn't always known what to get me for Christmas. We're 15 years apart and we don't live in the same house anymore so we honestly don't know each other that well.

You know a restaurant is a hit when you drive to a whole 'nother city just to eat there again. Originally, we went to Chopstix because my sister was craving bubble tea.

Am I a Stereotypical Bookworm?
A few months ago, Cait from Paper Fury wrote a blog post that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. She examined 10 bookworm stereotypes and noted whether she identified with them.

My Favorite Dance Practice Outfits
One of the millions of reasons I'm obsessed with Kpop is the fashion. Even when they're practicing, the outfits rival stage ensembles. So, today I'm sharing 5 of my favorite dance practice outfits.

Lincoln Square Pancake House // Indy
Recently, I took a vacation with my family to Chicago. It was amazing to be back. Chicago is one of my favorite cities to visit because the art and food scenes are spectacular. But don't think that there aren't amazing food destinations along the way. In Indianapolis we found a glorious place to stop for… Continue reading Lincoln Square Pancake House // Indy

Heyyyyyy, I'm sorry that I've been gone for a while. I have a few dope posts in the works so stay tuned for those.
