SPF 

Koreans are known to be pretty extra when it 

comes to sun protection. Many women use 

large hats or umbrellas to shield the sun’s 

harmful rays and they never leave the house 

without SPF. It’s no secret that the sun is a 

major cause of premature wrinkles and skin 

cancer! I want to protect my skin but the 

goopy, thick, white paste we have here leaves 

me looking more like a greasy, pasty mess so I 

used to just skip it all together! It always made 

my makeup look worse, especially as the day 

went on and some even irritated my sensitive 

skin! But last year I discovered Korean 

sunscreen and now I protect my face every 

day without sacrificing how my skin looks 

and feels! 

Korean sunscreen is lightweight, easily 

absorbed and some of them even seem to 

work almost like a primer- my makeup 

adheres better and lasts longer! 

Ive put together a list of my top fave K 

sunscreens to suit any skin type! 

Try one and you’ll never go back to the chalk 

we sell here! 

Some sunshine is 

good for the soul, 

but I always make 

sure I wear a big

EDITORIAL 

SOCIAL 

Hey! Thank you so much for stopping by Steph's Social Pie! 

As a former journalist and Social Media Marketing student, I 

wanted to create something different. I wanted to bring 

back a little print media-feel, so I created a blog that looks 

like a magazine! That wasn't enough though, so I came up 

with an editorial that flips like the real deal! 

I'm a one in a million kinda girl! And so are you:) My blog 

should also be one of a kind! There's a ton of blogs out 

there, so the competition to be seen is fierce. The only way 

to stand out, is to be authentic. So here I am, just 4 months 

in and amazed by the support and growth so far! 

Since launching in February, I've learned so much through 

school about the importance of SEO. Everything I've 

implemented has helped me get to where I am so far. I've 

started ranking on the first few google pages for 

even 

good long tail keywords, which brings in organic

anyone in the blogosphere who tells you it is, is probably 

lying! Any 'free' time I have, I put in to my blog. So when I 

see growth, and new ideas come together, I get so excited 

lol. Steph's Social Pie is my dream... my baby! 

Publishing this editorial brought back all the newspaper 

feels I forgot I missed so much! I enjoyed page layout and 

writing and even... editing (gasp)!

Hop On The Neon Trend 

Summer is all about bright, fun, cheery 

colors! This season's polish trend is no 

exception. I'm loving the 80s vibes these 

nail colors give! So bright, you'll light up 

any room with your nails! 

I tried the Sally Hansen neon nail colors and loved 

the intense shades. I hardly wear polish because it 

chips after a day or two, but trying out these fun 

colors was fun and added a cute pop to my every 

day!
