How did dad do?🎃

I’ve been called an entitled white girl on social media and I find that very jarring…

Because if you’ve seen me in real life, you KNOW my donk is wayyyyyy too big and will give me away. 😂

Latinas come in all different shapes and sizes. My mother is Mexican, born and raised. She met my dad in Chicago who is first generation, Italian American.
My dad’s parents were from Italy.

I grew up surrounded by English, Spanish, and Italian. I ate Mexican and Italian food. I was raised in the States and identify as American.

Here’s a thought… before you go accusing people of what race you THINK they should be… shut up and take several seats.

Oh yes. And also STFU while I enjoy baesic American things like PSLs and autumn.

I have nothing to hide and love the cultures that made me who I am today.

The coolest Harry Potter Cafe in Seoul🇰🇷

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea. Follow @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

If you’re looking for something awesome to do this spooky season in Seoul, you have to check out the @943kingscross Cafe in Hongdae.

It’s got 6 floors of fun and you can even eat Hagrid’s cake and turkey legs. They even have the Boar’s Head Pub in the basement.

Tag a Potterhead who would love to go!

AMERICA IS CRAZY FOR THIS! 🇺🇸

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea. Follow @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

With the cost of living in the States going up and up, I make sure I save money to go to Korea every year. I get medical check ups and teeth cleaning. South Korea is all about the beauty treatments and I definitely take advantage when I’m over there.

Heck, it’s even cheaper for my dog to get her teeth cleaned and groomed in South Korea!

I lived in Austin and Chicago and the cost of everything in Korea is much cheaper in comparison. Also, the fact I need health insurance or I’m screwed is also another factor.

Medical tourism in South Korea is cost effective and excellent quality… and that’s the hill I’m okay with standing on.

Would you ever consider medical tourism?

Life update details below⬇️

I’m not ready to talk about what’s been going on since May, but I am ready to share some stuff.

1. I’ve been actively losing weight. I’m not on any weight loss medication. I’ve been kinder to myself and allowing myself the beauty of food nourishing my body and making me strong. I’ve finally managed to get a lot of my sugar cravings under control and it feels amazing.

2. Living a slower life means less stress. I still have anxiety, and depression sometimes makes me unable to get out of bed. But that’s okay. The moral is, try again tomorrow, and be kinder when the hard days win.

3. I’ve had more time to read and watch anime. I recently read The Poisoner by @ophallic and I really enjoyed it. I also watched an anime called 86 and the storyline sucked me in right from the get go. P.S. since I speak Japanese, I really enjoyed the soundtrack from the show. Avid by Mizuki is probably one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard this year. 10/10 recommend.

4. A slow life also means more time with my fur baby. We have long walks in the morning, play a lot more, and get to bond more when I brush her. (Especially now because her fluff is so long.)

5. I am struggling, but I’m working with a mental health facility to help me manage a lot of my symptoms and I feel better. It’s nice to just let it all out.

Thank ya’ll for coming to my TedTalk. Have a FANTABULOUS DAY and weekend.

XOXO,
Gina Bear 🎀🧸

Hocus Pocus filming locations in Salem!🔮🎃🍂

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea. Follow @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

Hocus Pocus Filming Locations
1. Ropes Mansion - Allison’s house
2. Salem City Hall - Halloween party location where “I Put a Spell on You” was performed.
3. Max & Dani’s House - This is actually someone’s place of residence. If you do take photos, be quiet and respectful. I took my photos in the street using a 50mm lens.
4. Salem Pioneer Village - this is where Thackeray Binx lived.
5. Salem Common- This is where Allison rejected Max and also the building in the back was the backdrop of the high school.
6. Old Burial Hill - It’s outside of Salem, but this is where Max got bullied.

Planning a trip to New England for autumn? If so, you should definitely stop in Salem, the Halloween capital of the USA!

For all us 90s kids, nothing is as nostalgic as visiting the filming locations of @hocuspocusdisney
