It had been a bit of a gloomy weekend, and so I stopped by my local Skin Food to buy some bright new nail polish. Skin Food is a fabulous store that’s a bit like the Body Shop only cheaper and Korean.
As I went to pay for my new nail polish, the sweet young thing behind the cash pointed to some packages beside her.
“Sah-beece!” she explained, smiling. (Sah-beece or service, is Korean for on the house.)
The free gift of the day was a face mask. But which one did I want? Mung bean? Rice? Mugwort? Yellow pine and charcoal? They all sounded like something out of a Harry Potter novel. I settled on the broccoli mask. I wasn’t sure I wanted to smear it all over my face but at least I knew what it was.
