This blog post records my one-hour digital detox experience, in which I refrain myself from all means of electronic and media uses. The purpose of this digital detox is not to meditate, but to find my present self and to pay my attention to the way I pay attention. For this digital detox, I have decided to spend an hour sitting in a quiet park nearby my university apartment while refraining myself from my phone and any other technological devices. I picked this outdoor setting because I much preferred the fresh air outside to an indoor environment. At 1 p.m., the park was not crowded and almost empty. Therefore, I was able to be alone with my own thoughts for the entire hour without much distractions and external stimulations.
Plastic-Free Shopping Guide
Friday, November 24, 2017
In our modern world, it is easy to get stuck in a fast-paced lifestyle that offers immediate convenience with single-use items, such as plastic bags, plastic straws, or takeout cups. Every year, 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide; this means 2 million plastic bags are used each minute (Earth Policy Institute). Almost every shop we visit provides some kinds of mass-produced plastic products that can be effortlessly thrown away after one use. Imagine the other side of the picture, where do all of these single-use items go if they can't be recycled: landfills. Sadly, this makes many of us hard to believe that our world was once plastic-free.

ZERO WASTE BODY BUTTER
Sunday, November 12, 2017
My passion for environmental sustainability started in 2014 when I took an Environmental Studies course at my university. Ever since I grew my interest in the environment, I slowly became more conscious of what products I purchase in the market and how my footprint affects the environment. To reduce the amount of trash being sent to landfills, I started to recycle and compost. Not so long ago, I created an ECO section on The Rosemary Life and wrote my first blog post about being eco-conscious at the beach. As I am still in the progress of learning and making small changes at a time, I want to document and share this green journey with you all through my blog!

Summer Beach Guide
Saturday, May 20, 2017
The refreshing power of the ocean relinquishes one of the most healing medications to the mind and the body that is scarcely comparable with anything else. I am always amazed by the soothing abilities that the ocean offers. Being present at the beach restores, invigorates and cleanses my soul every time. Walking along the shore and dipping my toes in the waves are always so pure and blissful. One day at the beach can give me the energy and rejuvenation for a long period of time. The luxuriance of sea air melts away all stress and tension in my life. The ocean air stays deeply in my soul that I can’t seem to find the same aliveness elsewhere.

Little Villa dei Papiri
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
Have you ever imagine yourself living in the ancient Roman times? As of late, I have been imagining myself awakening in the vintage and sumptuous castle with marble floors and bird whistles. Whenever I travel to explore the mysterious pieces of world history, I continually wish to actually be present in that era in order to taste the real flavor of life in the Ancient World. I always get fascinated by how ancient people could build such distinctive edifices using marbles and stones. I am truly obsessed with the ancient architectures, better than those modern skylines that I see in every downtown corner nowadays.
