2016 throwback, ten years ago ✨

I guess it really was the best year for everyone.

In the beginning of 2016, I was three years post–high school, still in my hometown. My life back then was all about makeup — every photo from that year is basically a selfie from my makeup era. I loved it, lived it, breathed it. But even then, I knew I didn’t just want to do makeup — I wanted to build something bigger with it. I dreamed of working in the beauty industry in a real way, which is why I chose to study business and marketing.

I earned my cosmetology license with over 1,300 hours — more than 300 above what New Jersey requires all from makeup competitions. After getting licensed in 2014, 2016 became the first year I returned to judge the very same SkillsUSA Esthetics competition I once competed in. That moment felt full-circle in the best way.

That same year, I earned my Associate’s Degree in Business at my community college. I chose community college because of finishing cosmetology made me stay behind, but also because I didn’t yet have the courage to leave a long-term relationship I had been in since 2009. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life —until one moment changed everything. So accepted my offer to finish my degree at the University of Tampa in business marketing.

What a huge year.
I enrolled in August, left New Jersey and the friends I saw every single day, and walked away from the first boyfriend I ever had. It hurt — but it had to happen.

I moved to Tampa and lived completely on my own for the first time. No roommates. Just me. That city changed me. I will always be grateful for the life I breathed in through those streets and beaches, through those sunrises and sunsets.

For the first time, I found friends who had the same kind of goals — goals about growing, becoming professional, and dreaming bigger. That’s when I pledged Delta Sigma Pi, a business fraternity, and made it by the end of that fall semester.

2016 was a life-changing year.
I didn’t even realize it until I put these photos together — just trying to follow a trend, and accidentally finding a whole version of myself I’m still thankful for.
Hello friends 🫶🏼

I’m so happy to share that Winter Seoulful Diaries has officially finished its journey and is ready to be in your hands.
Out of love and respect for one of my best friends, I chose to release it on her birthday in February. That date holds my heart, and it felt right to tie this beginning to someone who shaped me.

I also want to share a little of why this project even started.

The decision of being a single foreign mom in Korea was really scary for me. If I’m honest, there were moments when it felt like my world was ending. But I kept moving forward. I told myself I just had to get through the hardest part — giving birth — and then figure the rest out one day at a time.

While I was on maternity leave, I found out I could take an additional year of childcare leave. That’s when I started looking back on my seven years in Korea — all the places, all the seasons, all the life I had lived here. I realized it wasn’t a goodbye. It was something I wanted to hold onto and cherish in a beautiful way.

Then I was given six more months. And that’s when I knew — I wanted to bring this to life in 2025. And somehow… here we are.

The first book of this four-part children’s series is coming soon — followed by another piece for the curious.
Thank you for being here while this dream found its shape.

🕊️🫶🏼✨💜❄️

Don’t worry~
Korean winter really said, “I got you.” ❄️
Heated bus stop tents, heated benches, warm seats waiting for cold people.
Cold outside, cozy everywhere — just Korea things.

🧡💚💛💜Little ways to fill our days — episode 1

Mom & toddler activity: nail stickers 💅✨

Cheap, easy, quiet, and she felt like a whole princess.
Some days it’s not about big plans — just tiny things that make her smile.

I get her nail stickers from Artbox and Daiso. Being a SAHM mom, single at that, I am with Phoebe 24/7 🙃 and people always wonder how I’m doing it. But I realized I’m just honestly filling our days with so many little activities and I feel like sharing the little moments before I go back to work in March. In Korea, I was able to take 24 months of childcare leave in total.

Motherhood in Korea has been a blast.

💜💜💜 Hannam-dong BTS itinerary

Visit to check out some silver made jewelry that all of the BTS members enjoy wearing on the daily

Check their website for prices 🫶🏼 but everything is relatively really affordable for them being silver!

My friend and I got matching Suga gem studded hoops with silver bar and brass detailing for ₩29,000 ✨

💜💜💜Hyundai Card Art Library: Vinyl & Plastic is a place to unwind and listen to/buy vinyl records! My friend found BTS albums instantly, YOUTH (Japanese album) and FACE (Jimin).

If you don’t have a Hyundai Card or can’t download the app, you can still enter this place and enjoy the ground level floor where you can purchase vinyls or hang out casually.

If you have a Hyundai Card, you can enjoy the upstairs listening area but no children are allowed (couldn’t show you guys).

There are English speaking staff, and I am sure they will help you access upstairs as it sounded like tourists could even download the app (if I recall correctly).

You can also get discounts with a Hyundai Card on the volume! 🥳

📍Hyundai Card Vinyl & Plastic

서울 용산구 한남동 683-131

✨ As autumn winds down, a little winter magic is starting to peek in… ✨

Seoul is still full of golden leaves,
but the evenings have begun to feel different—
a little chillier, a little cozier,
like the season is quietly turning a page.

So here’s our first look into:

Winter Seoulful Diaries: a soft city walk under warm lights:)

These are the in-between moments our stories come from—
not quite autumn, not fully winter,
just the gentle in-between where memories form.

❄️💙

More pages soon.
Thank you for being here at the beginning.

1,000th post (before I just 'stopped sharing' posts from my personal acct) ✨ let me introduce myself properly 🩷

Thank you for the continued support!

Hi everyone!! I’ve finally finished writing my first blog post to my new online blog… a Seoulful 12-Day itinerary for Seoul travelers!! 🇰🇷🥳

This is the longest project I’ve been working on. I’ve had family and friends visit me the past two years and I’ve always wanted to share all of my tips and recommendations in one place!!

With this new online blog, I feel like I can go into every detail possible. I like being a bit too meticulous and detailed so I’ll work on elaborating better. I’ve taken all the time and all the effort just to help others out with nothing to gain whatsoever! This is not for any program nor am I being paid to do so.

I will post a SHORT VERSION of the itinerary over the weekend while we’re camping in Gangwon 😆🌧️

Please leave me a comment, shoot me a DM, or share it to your friends and online forums if YOU feel that I’ve helped you in your Seoul itinerary planning. It would mean so much to me!!!!

Thank you so much for all your support 💜 see you in Seoul soon!!

-Sharen
