What…a…year…😮💨 2025 was a year of growth, resilience, and a constant reminder to be grateful for every second and moment in your life. I hope 2026 brings everyone more peace, joy, and brighter days ahead 🫶
Combining fashion, art, and commerce = Korea’s shopping culture 🇰🇷🫰
Shopping becomes an exciting and elevated experience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m obsessed with all the cute stores too…

but the concept stores that combine art with retail shopping make it so much more exciting and interesting. The tax free perks are also a plus 😉

KOREA BEAUTY HAUL 🇰🇷
1️⃣ PDRN = polydeoxyribonucleotide = DNA fragments derived from salmon sperm cells
- promotes cell renewal, repairs and enhances the skin’s natural healing process, stimulates collagen production, while also helping to reduce hyperpigmentation
- there are many PDRN skincare products on the market with various concentrations, but after A LOT of research, these were the products that were the most highly recommended:
REJUVENEX (white tube)
- the highest potency of PDRN in a topical form (pharmaceutical grade)
- perfect to use as a regenerative cream, in a thin layer, and only on occasion (very thick)
REJURAN TURNOVER AMPOULE
- a patented, cosmetic grade version of c-PDRN
- can be used AM + PM daily
VT PDRN ESSENCE 100
- plant-based vegan version of PDRN extracted from wild ginseng
- an alternative option for those who may have an allergy to fish or shellfish
PDRN EYE DROPS
- currently viral for using as a toner
- apply directly onto the skin or soak it on a very thin cotton pad or gauze and use it as a sheet mask
2️⃣ VT REEDLE SHOT = Contains fine microneedles called spicules that creates tiny micro channels in the skin to enhance absorption of your skincare products
- promotes skin renewal and acts as a booster for your skincare products
- should be applied on freshly cleansed and dry skin
- pat in - do not rub! Rubbing will cause micro tears in the skin. Gently press and hold your hands to your face for a few seconds
- do not apply around your eyes or lips (the skin is too thin and delicate)
- apply your skincare (ex. PDRN product) afterwards for maximum absorption and efficacy of your skincare ingredients
- do not use skincare devices at the same time (ex: use your skincare device in the morning and VT Reedle Shot at night)
- the numbers represent different intensities and the number of micro needles of the product
50 (daily use and ideal for the most sensitive skin)
100 (daily use and suitable for all skin types)
300 (every 3 days and for more intense treatment)
700 + 1000 (once a week/mainly for targeted spot treatment)
