Guide: Glasses for Asians aka the woes of not having a defined nose bridge

I'm not much of a glasses person. I think it stems from the fact that I live a somewhat active life - what with all my running and whatnot - but also the fact I disliked how glasses looked on me overall.

However, armed with a new prescription, and a new fascination for the hipster-looking frames that are all the rage, I figured I'd invest in getting a pair of glasses I really liked. One that was somewhat fashionable and would fit my face better than the previous ones I bought back in Thailand.

And that was when I encountered an interesting problem: the nose bridge dilemma.

Glasses in the US and most other Western countries do not tend to account for the fact that there are people with non-existent nose bridges.  It's not entirely their fault: most Western features have a more defined nose bridge, so it makes sense that most of the glasses they make would cater more towards that population.

I never realized it was an issue because I always bought my glasses in Asia, where the glasses were obviously catered towards Asian features. I just took it for granted... until I tried to find a pair in the US that would fit my face.

4 Thai beauty and fashion brands to check out

First of all, happy 2016!  May it be filled with your accomplishments, whether big or small!

So... my last post was a complete lie *sheepish grin* I apologize!  I cannot guarantee a regular posting schedule, but I really do want to keep up blogging because I enjoy it.  Hopefully it'll be a bit more often than the radio silence between September and now (I am aiming for at least one post every month - that's somewhat achievable, right?).  I am significantly more active on Instagram, so do check me out there :)

Now that I'm back home in Thailand for a bit (yay!), I decided to highlight some Thai brands that might be worth checking out if you're ever in this neck of the woods!

What's in my carry-on? Summer 2015 edition

Ready to roll (literally hehehe...)!

I am totally nosey (no shame), and love when bloggers/vloggers do a "What's in/on my [noun]?" series. I've always wanted to do one myself, so I figured that with my upcoming month-long trip, I'd do a What's in my carry on? for you!

I also hope that you find this helpful and sort of inspirational, because it's not everyday you see bloggers/vloggers talk about the things they bring in their carry-on for a 2+ [summer] week trip! Once I get to the US, I'm shipping my bags to my final destination to save money on baggage costs and time spent waiting for my bags otherwise, so I'll be primarily be living out of my carry-on for a month. I've been planning how to pack this carry on for months (me? A compulsive planner? What are you talking about...), so hopefully I have most of my bases covered!
