about fields of lilacs


Hi there! I'm Kyunghee, the creator behind this blog. The name "fields of lilacs" comes from my love and fascination of the lilac flower. My family and I immigrated to the U.S when I was eight years old and since then every time I smell lilacs, I think of Korea-

coming back to the start, the basics. The scent is both nostalgic and grounding, a reminder that you can always begin again.

This lifestyle blog is dedicated to offering wisdom and tools on living a life that embraces imperfections, meaning, fun, and simplicity through all the seasons of our lives. You can expect content on topics around wellbeing, relationships, travel, food, beauty, and my love for my state, Michigan. I hope you find something honest, useful, or inspiring.

Come say hello if you are looking to work together on all things wellbeing, food, and/or travel. Or, check out my writer website to read my latest article, inquire about writing workshops and collaborations.
