Back to Kdrama World and Unboxing!

The last series that I watched when I bid goodbye to Korean Drama was A Korean Odyssey.

I stopped seeing one because the trend and hype were a bit toxic for me and I felt I want to give the other Asian series a try.

It was a great decision. 

I found myself enjoying Chinese drama series because of unfamiliar actors and their stories were really awesome though there were a bit long to watch, Japanese series are shorter and easy to finished, and recently, I'm such a fan of this particular Laikorn that I've been replaying every other day. 

So going back to Kdrama series, I'm definitely watching them again! Congratulations to me! 

And the first drama that I've seen was Netflix's Rookie Historian: Goo Hae-ryung.

It is a historical drama set in my favorite Joseon Era. Goo Hae-ryung is one of the first female historians. She has this strong personality and she's not afraid of speaking her mind. Her love interest is Prince Dowon who is the writer of the best-selling romance novels and is being kept away from people.

Thanks to this series especially Cha Eun Woo who played Dowon, my heart with Kdrama is full of glee! I am actually having a great time with another historical time-traveling series at the moment. I probably give you an update once I'm done watching it.

Before I ended this blog, I'm excited to feature my first Kdrama Box! 

Thanks to fellow blogger, Miss Ana Gonzales aka Anagon for this lovely box of True Beauty. Honestly, I haven't seen the series but I've been hearing fantastic reviews.

So why did I buy it in the first place?

I have two reasons: it is one of my birthday gifts and Cha Eun Woo.

Without further ado, here is the content of True Beauty's Kdrama box!

These freebies are so cute! 

And what really made me place the order is this pillow! 

Ang puso ko! The most handsome Korean actor ever!

Who can't even resist this? It is the closest way, I can hug Eun Woo!

I can't wait to purchase another Kdrama box and hopefully it is the series that I've been gushing about! 

Level Up your 'Tita-ness' with Tita's Lifestyle Package

Age is just a number. But if you are a Tita, age is an ultimate priority. 😅

As we get old, symptoms of aging (cough) are coming out that's why we need a Lifestyle box that caters to our needs! 

It's finally here, the one we've been waiting for! Here comes Tita's Lifestyle Package that is perfect for every Single Tita, Tita Wannabe, or for your favorite Tita!

What's inside the Sampler Box:

*Two Single Drip Bag (Benguet Brew and Hazelnut Coffee)

*Sunflower Oil

*Pure Essential Oil (Orange)

*Katie's Trinkets

*Coaster

My Thoughts:

~Drip Bag Coffee 

It was my first time to try a Drip Bag Coffee. So aside from research, I even asked my Boss how to use one. 😆Unlike the typical sachet, you don't need a spoon to mix the coffee. Pull the two holders and place them on top of your mug. 

Just pour the water and let it drip inside your mug. Voila! I was even fascinated when it was done.

*Classic Benguet Brew - The smell of it is really strong and it reminds me of the Mountain of Sierra Madre and Cordillera. If you like Dark Coffee, this is for you!

*Hazelnut-Flavored Coffee- I enjoyed this more because I like coffee that it is a bit sweet. The aroma is truly Hazelnut, heavenly!

~Essential Oils

*Sunflower Oil- The smell is nice and not sticky...

*Orange Pure Essential Oil- This orange scent is perfect for relaxation...

Verdict: 

This is a sampler box that I'm grateful to be given a chance to review. I enjoy discovering every item inside. The packaging of the products was well-thought of.  Probably, my suggestion is that they can add another essential oil like mentholated oil for our aching muscles. Yeah because we are getting old and we need hagod! 😂

Tita's Lifestyle Box will be out soon and they are planning to release boxes of coffee and essential oils where you can choose between the two or have them both!

Support them by buying and trying! Thank you very much to Cindy and Ate Kate for this collaboration.
