LIFE UPDATE ⏰ slowly waking up from a dream 🥹

Our year-long sabbatical is coming to an end! 😭

We are full of emotions: so grateful that we were able to take this trip, amazed at how incredible the world and its peoples are, and excited to come home and start the next chapter. 📗

Elliot and I wish we could continue exploring this planet, but our kids need stability. Sofia (10 yr) misses her friends and Lexi (1 yr) needs a consistent schedule. We also miss spending time with our extended family and friends. 🏡

None of our passion projects and passive income side hustles are developed enough to be full-time income replacements yet, so we’re back to our professional careers. 👩🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼

We are so inspired to encourage families to travel! We’ve gained numerous benefits and learned a ton. We can’t wait to share more in the coming months. 🙏🏼🌏💛

#lifeupdate #travelfamily #travelwithkids

To the woman who tirelessly plans our trips, and provides endless smiles and happiness to our days, we love you so much! The world is a better place with a spirit like yours and we are so lucky to call you mom.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Your daughters,

Sofia and Alexis

Honest review of 📍Ecojardin Gyeongbok, Seoul (South Korea, Seoul, Jongno District, Jahamun-ro, 9 3층-5층) @ecojardin_gyeongbok

This is my 4th professional hair spa experience (USA, Italy, Japan, South Korea). Each experience has been unique!

I went with the standard 15-Step Stem Cell Scalp Treatment since my hair is still clean and healthy from the Japanese hair spa less than a month ago. 🙌🏼 The cost was $125 and took about 2 hours.

Pros ❤️
- Most technologically advanced hair cleansing experience! I love that they use stem cells in their products. 🧬
- So cool to see your scalp close up with the camera wand 📷
- Great location in a touristy area with lots to do and eat 🌆

Cons 💔
- Not very personalized nor relaxing. They were very busy and seemed to want to get me in and out. 🫥
- The 15- and 18- step treatments are focused on the scalp. Hair treatments (for the length) are separate. 🧴
- English-speaking staff was limited. There was a translator who helped during the analysis part. 🗣️
- This was a salon experience with added massage, not a spa experience. Manage expectations 😏

Overall I would say it is a good deal for $125. It’s definitely an experience you should have in Korea - there is nothing like getting your scalp properly cleaned, so take advantage whenever it’s available! 🧼

Have you done a hair spa in Korea? Would you schedule one? Tell me where your best hair spa experience was (I’m obsessed!! 😍).
