👀Okay, but what would $25 get you for dinner?

One thing about eating out in China — I’ll almost always check for a group deal first😂 I didn’t really think twice about it until I realized this might not be a thing everywhere. And honestly, little things like getting some free sides while you wait, watching everything get freshly skewered,

In China, Sam’s Club always ends with a beef wrap👀What about yours?

I feel like I go to Sam’s more often than I go home🫣 New drop? I’m there. Someone needs me to pick something up? I’m there. Sometimes I’ll even go for a walk after dinner and somehow end up at Sam’s… 😂At this point, it’s basically an old friend. But honestly, Sam’s has SO many new things

Why does my audio always sound worse on camera?😭Turns out I’m not the only one…

Okay… I think my audio has officially gotten an upgrade😂 A few of you mentioned my sound in my last videos, so I finally listened and decided to try a little mic. I’ve been using my phone for basically everything, so I was honestly curious to see if I’d notice a real difference. I paid abo

The Haidilao you know… isn’t the one we have in China anymore👀

😯 I honestly didn’t expect Haidilao to get this competitive. Unlimited seafood, roasted durian, DIY instant noodles… and the two of us ate all of this for about $36. It honestly feels like hotpot places in China keep trying to outdo each other. Would you pick this, or the Haidilao where yo

The softest neck pillow isn’t always the best one

I used to think the softer the pillow, the better. Turns out, that wasn’t what my neck actually needed. After trying way too many neck pillows (and even neck massagers 😅), I finally realized it has way more to do with support than softness. If you spend hours on your laptop or phone like I

I really thought this thing looked ridiculous😂

I’m on my phone or laptop way more than I probably should be.🫤 And after a while, my neck is definitely the first thing to complain. 😂So when I saw this weird-looking thing on Taobao, I was honestly like… what am I even looking at? But after using it for a while, I kind of get it now.
