Korean Beacon

So I realize I've been pretty bad with updating my blog    =T
Sorry 'bout that....
I am currently in Kenya for 2 weeks, but I promise to try to write more once I get back!

As for now, I'm going to put up some links to my writing I've done for Korean Beacon for those that haven't read it.
Enjoy!

I Am Korean American... and Proud of it!

I came upon the I Am Korean American website through Korean Beacon.
It's a great site that features profiles of different Korean Americans.

There are over 1.5 million Korean Americans in the United States. We share many similarities but are each unique and different. I Am Korean American is an online project that showcases the diversity and many interesting personalities of the Korean American community.   

For the L.A. Crowd- Kollaboration 10

 

Korean Beacon ~ Not Korean Bacon! =D

I was at a BBQ a few months ago (Thanks for letting me crash your BBQ, Jesse).
We started talking about Korean restaurants and I mentioned that I had read an article about Gwyneth Paltrow's favorite restaurant on a website that I'd been reading recently.
Turns out that the website I was talking about was created by two of the guests at the BBQ! (So weird, 'cause Khee wrote the article and Eric has worked with Gwyneth Paltrow)
I love me a good Cowinkiedink!   (Coincidence for those that don't understand iRene language)

Eric and Khee are two guys that have created Korean Beacon- a great website geared towards Korean Culture.
Food, Celebrities, Entertainment, Worldwide News.... They have it all.
Only one thing was missing................... ME!  =)

KoreanBeacon.com is a window into Korean-American life and culture.  We showcase different viewpoints, styles, and topics about Korean-Americans. KoreanBeacon.com is for multiple generations, mixed-race, adoptees, and for anyone who is generally interested in Korean-American life.   Of course, we also have an eye on what’s coming out of South Korea.  The Korean wave is happening and Hollywood is importing Korean artists and talent into the American mainstream.  It’s an exciting time and you can find it all right here at KoreanBeacon.com.

It's a website that I check into regularly... and now... I get to be a part of it!!!
After reading my FABULOUS blog, Eric contacted me about doing a weekly Beauty Write Up and starting You Tube Videos geared towards Asians/Koreans. EXCITING!

Now I will NOT be going on camera without makeup (I go to the pool with makeup on!!!), but I AM taking volunteers to be brave and let me make you beautiful (Don't all volunteer at once, now!)
Every Thursday, you can check and see what new and exciting info I have.  If you have questions, I will try my best to answer them.  If I can't.. you're question will not be featured in Korean Beacon (haha.. j/k!)

This is a really exciting opportunity for me... and I'm sure I'll be learning more than you all with my research for Asian faces.  And let me tell you that Asians are NOT easy to put makeup on.
I've had quite a few hilarious makeover experiences with my friends (Thanks Jeeae and Esther... You girls were great sports~  At least now we know what DOESN'T work!!!)

So... as I am SKYROCKETING towards fame (Dream Big, Irene), this is a great step in the right direction.

If you are Korean, Korean-American, or an American  who knows the fabulousness of Koreans (Hi Joe and Taylor!)  you should DEFINITELY check out Korean Beacon.
It will change your life. Or give you a few minutes of entertainment.. Either or.... ;)
