Hey! I'm Ashley from California and I'm totally new here. I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to make an account because you all seem so welcoming and knowledgeable. Honestly, I got super into K-beauty stuff about a year ago when my coworker showed me her skincare routine and her skin was just glowing. I went down the rabbit hole watching videos and reading reviews, and now I'm kind of obsessed lol.

I'm curious about a lot of things — skincare, skincare again, and also some of the aesthetic procedures that people talk about. I've never done anything beyond basic facials back home, but I'm thinking about maybe exploring more while I save up for a trip to Korea next year. Not super serious yet, just daydreaming and trying to learn what's actually out there.

I'd love to hear from people who've tried different treatments or have favorite products! Also any tips for a first-timer would be amazing. Really glad I found this place!
