A Little Little bit of Sunshine

I’ve been listening to songs with the phrase sunshine within the title all morning. No specific purpose aside from it’s sunny exterior immediately in my neck of the woods (Marin County), and the temperature is at that candy spot the place it’s heat sufficient to go exterior in denims and a t-shirt. It’s so good!

If solely it might all the time be just a bit bit heat however not too sizzling – possibly I’ve to maneuver to Hawaii for this? I’m nonetheless manifesting that one-story home in Kailua with a white picket fence and pink roses. LOL!

Anywho, when you’ve got a pick-me-up playlist, add these three sunshiny songs stat.

Sunshine on me

Slightly little bit of sunshine

I’ve received a pocketful of sunshine

Whereas we’re on the subject of sunshine, I lately found the fantastic world of Korean sunscreen. They get a lot hype amongst derms and skincare fanatics on-line, and now I see why they’ve such a faithful fanbase.

I’ve received three in my arsenal proper meow: Innisfree Day by day UV Protection Sunscreen SPF 36, Laneige Hydro UV Protection SPF 50+ and Etude Home Sunprise Gentle Watery Mild SPF 50+.

Facet notice, all of those manufacturers are owned by Amore Pacific, and I write for Innisfree and Laneige.

Some fast ideas…

Innisfree Day by day UV Protection Sunscreen SPF 36

The tube is decently sized and you get a good amount for $16. Whereas all three sunscreens have a lotion-y and lightweight texture in comparison with American sunscreens, this one is comparatively thick in comparison with the opposite two and never as moisturizing. It doesn’t really feel as weightless because the others, for certain. I want the SPF was greater, but when I’m working from dwelling, it does the trick. Oh, and this one smells essentially the most sunscreen-y. I prefer it sufficient, however I most likely received’t purchase one other bottle.

Laneige Hydro UV Protection Sunscreen SPF 50+

Oh my gosh, SO GOOD that I simply put a jumbo-size tube in my cart! Completely pretty, and really very like the Shiseido sunscreen that I used and liked for years, however even higher as a result of it’s extra moisturizing and feels even lighter on my pores and skin. I like that I can reapply it all through the day, and it doesn’t really feel heavy or sticky. Layers properly beneath make-up, too. I don’t thoughts the sunshine, floral scent both. A reasonably, dewy end that’s not too shiny. My dry pores and skin loves it. It’s currently on sale now on the Laneige website, by the way in which.

Etude Sunprise Gentle Watery Mild SPF 50+

Imagine it or not, this was a Mom’s Day present from El Hub and Connor! I like it, too. It’s the lightest and thinnest in texture of all three, nearly like a gel, and it simply melts proper into my pores and skin. Like Laneige, it’s a pleasure to reapply. Now, it’s not as intensely moisturizing as Laneige, however it ought to be sufficient in case your pores and skin isn’t excessively dry. The scent is kinda lemony and contemporary. Very mild. An ideal summer season sunscreen for extremely popular days! You can find it on Amazon.

One final sunshiny-related bit. Cookbooks make my coronary heart sing, and right here is the newest version to my library.

So, I’ve really by no means made Korean meals earlier than, and I’m type of intimidated by all the components concerned in a Korean meal. Apparently there’s a variety of aspect dish motion! Whereas I dwell for a bevy of aspect dishes, particularly ones involving veggies or varied fried dumplings and whatnot, I don’t know if I might deal with cooking a complete Korean meal with all of the fixings on my own. It looks as if quite a bit to juggle!

Have you ever cooked Korean meals earlier than? The place ought to I begin?

Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
