The Journey of the Soul

Every voyage is a journey of the soul.

I have been living abroad for so many years and traveling so many times, still, expectations of every trip never wane. Every time, I couldn’t help but wonder that how much I could enhance my inner self, how much myths could be unlocked, how many pieces could be reorganized, how much impurities could be deposited, how many horizons would be expanded, and how much calm I could obtain!
Everyone grows in a miscellaneous way. Some grow up in the integration of gender relations, others grow up in the tension of parent-child relationship,

O.P.I Nail Polish: Infinite Shine

As the world bellwether in the professional nail care industry, OPI is devoted to providing high-quality products. Known for its and fashionable colors and exceptional outcomes, it offers affordable luxury for all women and beauty salons around the world.
Just like me, I believe that many people like the effects that manicures and pedicures bring us, but still praying for our nails from all those trimming. Luckily, OPI apparently heard our prayers and thus developed a series of “ Infinite Shine ”, a 3-step system which provided gel-like shine. Its coloring method is just like ordinary nail polish. Without containing any component of resin which is usually seen in gel nails,

Age is just a number

I believe that we all have once heard about the saying: Money is merely a series of numbers in the eyes for rich people. The psychology behind this is based on the sense of the security of rich people. They stand far above money and rise up with majestic wings.
I think the concept for “Age” should likewise be the same. In the face of the irreversible phenomenon of physiological growth, our mindsets are what truly matters.
As time goes by and experiences of life continue to add on, one could easily show a worldly and humble empathy. Our eyes would,

The Ability developed from Traveling Alone: Stay Calm When in Peril

Castle in heavy rain

 
Continuing the previous two articles, “The ability of solo traveler,” this one aims to share “Stay calm when in peril.”
In 2017, I went on a trip to the country of the fairy tale—Prague. On the hill, there was the world’s largest castle “Prague Castle”.
As I admired the scenery, I slowly climbed up the mountain top.
Outside the ancient castle, a huge square resided, and a stage was being built in the middle of the square. When I took a closer look…wow! It turned out that there was a classical Jazz crossover performance by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic in the evening.

The Life-Saver for My Nail: Alloya

Alloya is a life-saver which solved my troubles for many years!

I believe that many girls would likewise adore the gorgeous effects of gel nail, but our nails just couldn’t bear those trimming and grinding during the removal. I once had my manicure done in three consecutive months, as a result, my nails turned fragile and sensitive. Even my manicurist warned me that I should let my nails rest for a few months. Actually, after such incidence, I dare not to do any gel nail again, because health is always way more important than anything,

Home, Sweet Home

Home and Inner Child

Starting from the age of 20, most of the time, I have lived abroad. Therefore, the time I spent in Taiwan was not much, and let alone my hometown, Taichung.
After all these years, even though my personality has already been integrated into many westernized thinkings, aesthetics, and behavioral patterns. After all, growing up in Taiwan, spending so many important and critical periods such as childhood and teenagehood here, I still own fresh and genuine memories of my hometown and my childhood. All of the great times are always so profound and they are deeply rooted in my heart.

Fashion of Fingertips

 
When I was living in Manhattan, I found that Manhattan actually had a hidden feature: Nail salons were everywhere!
Manhattan is a melting pot of nationalities. Women from different countries all share one thing in common – the nail cares –
so, nail salons are basically everywhere in the city. It shows that women around the world attach great importance to nails.
A few months ago, I found a brand from the UK called Alloya, and it was a kind of DIY gel nail which could be done easily at home.

The Ability Developed from Traveling Alone: Flexibility

 

Traveling alone is the best chance to exercise your “inner muscles”.

 
In addition to the “Intuitions” that I have shared before, this time I’m going to talk about the ability to “Flexibility”.
Keep your brain nimble at all times
Anything could happen once you are in an exotic place and nothing is familiar with you. Therefore, this is the moment that calm is your only true friend. Then, you have to play it by ear and try to come up with any possible solution.
I could still recall my adventure of a performance trip to Rome.

Fashion with Autumn Leaves

 

Only classic goes beyond classic: Maple leaves.

 
When the leaves turn fairy-red and brown, we would know that another great year shall be gone.
Compared to the vivid green in spring, the autumn red is more delicate and restrained.
The playful and childlike innocence of any traveler would certainly be triggered in this marvelous maple season. However, when you dig deeper into your heart, one would find out that it is actually a sense of tranquility hiding beneath the excitement from the appearance. Staring at those green, yellow, and red colors weaving together,
