I quit my job to go on a non-stop tour of the world traveling to 4 different continents – how I spent only $700 on food
A TRAVELER who toured the world for two months straight has revealed how she only spent $700 on food. Travel whiz Skylie gave a full breakdown of her spending after quitting her job to jet-set through 10 countries and four continents. 4 4 4 In a video, the influencer (@skylietravels) explained how she ditched her paychecks to fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing the world. But because she didn't have a stream of income, she stretched her dollars to get the most out of her experience. One way that Skylie said she saved cash was by only flying in economy and not checking luggage. The TikToker said that she was able to take multiple flights spanning the US, Europe, Africa, and Asia for $5,000 with her hacks. When it came to accommodations, Kylie spent $5,300 on her lodgings, but she admitted to staying in three "very nice" luxury hotels. The seven other places she stayed were more basic and affordable. One area that she admitted to saving tons of cash on was food. Skylie explained that she doesn't seek out fine dining experiences, so she was always happy to grab a bite on the go. Over two months, she only spent $700 on her meals by focusing on cheap snacks or meals included in her hotel stays. But that didn't prevent her from still getting a bite of culture in each country. "I had pottery kebab, ramen, traditional tajine, 7/11 snacks," she explained. "I'm not a big luxury diner, I'd rather have what's cheap and easy, so I definitely saved money in the food category." Meanwhile, on activities, Skylie said that she spent $1,400 on events that included a three-day Sahara Desert tour in Morocco and real-life Mario Kart racing in Japan. For miscellaneous purchases like books and souvenirs, the traveler spent just $400. 4 And she dropped about $600 on transportation like trains, taxis, and hiring a private driver. Overall, Skylie said that she spent $13,500 on her two-month world tour. The influencer's followers were impressed with her budgeting, especially with how little she spent on food. "That's usually how much I spend on 2-week vacations," one person said of her food total. Another person said that the costs were "so worth it" because experiences are priceless.

Kim Kardashian fans flip over her bizarre Korean procedures that include an injection and eyebrow tape
Kim Kardashian fans have flipped out of her latest Instagram post. The reality TV dynamo shared images of several very bizarre procedures that she had done while on vacation with her sister Khloe Kardashian and friends like La La Anthony and Stephanie Shepherd in South Korea. In one image the 44-year-old diva from Calabasas had her arm injected with a purple liquid as she was partially bandaged up. One follower asked if she is being injected with what 'looks like a smoothie' and that is exactly what it looked like: 'What are you injecting into your arm looks like a smoothie.' Other fans were more positive: 'Omgggg gurllll youu goooo❤️.' And then there was this: 'Honestly mood skincare everything there,' as well as this: 'Nice cream Kim you going to look younger again.' In one image the 44-year-old diva from Calabasas had her arm injected with a purple liquid as she was partially bandaged up. One follower asked if she is being injected with what 'looks like a smoothie' and that is exactly what it looked like: 'What are you injecting into your arm looks like a smoothie' There was another shot where she had tape and Band-Aids over her eyebrows which may have meant she was having them dyed. And there were two portraits where she had white stuff on her face, which was likely an exotic facial. Kim did nothing to explain what she was up to as her caption simply read, 'The things we do.' On Monday, she was seen trying out the new Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap from her SKIMS line with La La Anthony and Khloe as they jetted to South Korea. They were on Kim Air, which is the star's private jet. Kim wore a brown fur coat over a sheer body stocking by Saint Laurent with red lipstick. 'When in Korea,' Kim wrote in the caption. Earlier this month Kardashian said she thought her 'body was breaking down' before she turned to stem cell therapy. The beauty has taken to social media to share her health journey, revealing that stem cell therapy has helped her to overcome various aches and pains. Kim wrote on Instagram: 'I'm so excited to share with you guys my stem cell journey. 'Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. 'I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna. 'His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells, and the results were immediate. 'I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since. 'Encouraged by this success, I recently returned to Dr. Khan to address chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for years. 'The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again. I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone. 'If you're struggling with back pain, I can't recommend this treatment enough - it's transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down. 'Of course, everyone is different, and I'm just sharing what has worked for me lately. Definitely do your own homework and talk to medical professionals. 'Since Muse stem cells aren't yet accessible in the US, I had to travel to Mexico to be treated by Dr. Khan's team. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity and resources to pursue this healing, and I pray the science continues to evolve so more people can benefit.

Speaking to SHE MD podcast, Kim shared: 'It's only this one spot [on my face] that will itch. And it will really, really itch when it does. 'When I started to get a little bit desperate was when it started to cover my face, and there was a spot really close to my eye, and it would just burn a little bit. 'I remember I had the Met Ball coming up that week and it was covering my face.'
