Chloe's Object

  source : Instagram  Chloe Object The Lexon Mina Mushroom Lamp is known for its cute and stylish design while being relatively affordable. I own four mini-sized lamps and one medium-sized one. It has already been six years since I bought my first two mini lamps. I purchased them in person when The Conran Shop , a British lifestyle store, first opened in Korea. When it comes to a product's advantages, there’s a difference between how it feels before buying and after using it. Before purchasing the Lexon Mina, the concept of a wireless mood lamp was unfamiliar to me, so I thought it was a bit expensive. Even after buying it, I didn't use it much because I wasn't particularly interested in home decor at the time. However, after getting married three years ago and decorating my newlywed home, I finally started using it as a mood lamp. Now, with gifts and additional purchases, I have multiple lamps in use. The biggest advantage is that when I want to create a cozy atmosphere, I...

  Instagram : Chloe Object I have been using a pour-over coffeemaker from Bodum for 7 years. These days in Korea, home coffee machines are becoming more popular than pour-over coffee, but I still love taking my time to brew drip coffee. The reason for the popularity of coffee machines is that the MZ generation enjoys visiting espresso bars, where they can explore a variety of high-quality coffee options, from espresso to flat white. This exposure has sparked their interest in different types of coffee. Bodum’s pour-over coffee maker has a classic look, similar to the Chemex, with a wooden collar and a leather strap. The best part is that it comes with a permanent filter, so there's no need for paper filters. However, since coffee oils can sometimes remain, using a paper filter is optional, depending on personal preference. I strongly recommend the Bodum pour-over coffee maker for beginners for the following reasons: it is reasonably priced, easy to use, has low maintenance costs du...

  Rice Cake Soup: A Traditional Korean New Year’s Dish In Korea, we eat tteokguk (rice cake soup) on Seollal (Lunar New Year’s Day) . It’s similar to how Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving or how the French enjoy galette des rois as a New Year’s tradition. The recipe for tteokguk is quite simple. All you need is beef bone broth, sliced rice cakes, beef, eggs, seaweed, salt, and soy sauce . Some people also add dumplings, depending on their preference. Last week, during the Seollal holiday , I found myself really craving my mom’s homemade tteokguk. I’ve eaten this dish every New Year’s since I was a child, so while I love its flavor, it also brings a sense of warmth— a feeling of my mother’s love and the comfort of family . Maybe it’s because I’m pregnant, but this year, I especially longed for my mom’s cooking. Tteokguk Recipe Prepare a pot of beef bone broth . Sauté the beef in a pan. Add the beef and sliced rice cakes to the boiling broth. Beat an egg and cook it into a th...

  If you create a consistent morning routine, not only will you naturally become healthier, but your productivity throughout the day will also improve. And if you make your morning routine something to look forward to, waking up in the morning will feel exciting even as you fall asleep the night before. In my case, I eat an apple and an egg every morning. This simple breakfast is more enjoyable to me than any expensive or fancy lunch or dinner. I also write in my journal every morning about the previous day. This quiet time of reflection enriches my mind with new insights. Additionally, I use an analog calendar that requires me to flip the date and day every morning. I have one in the living room and another in my bedroom, and this small ritual helps me appreciate each day more fully. And if the space where you do your morning routine is beautiful, wouldn’t that bring even more joy? Try creating a morning routine for yourself—you might find that every day becomes more delight...

Tumbler & plate : @falcon Source : @chloe_object Simple living makes us feel something.  There are many ways to simplify life. Here are a few things I’ve realized: Don’t do what you don’t want to do. Get rid of what you don’t use. Refrain from saying unnecessary words. Let go of negative emotions. And I want to differentiate two terms of minimal things.  Minimal Life vs. Minimal Living "Living" and "life" are different. "Living" means the act of existing, while "life" encompasses the overall experience of being alive. "Living" is purely physical, whereas "life" includes mental and emotional aspects as well. Minimal Life It is about simplifying life as a whole, focusing on what truly matters. It includes mental, emotional, and philosophical elements, emphasizing a minimalist approach to values and priorities. Example: Letting go of unnecessary relationships, focusing on meaningful values, and seeking inner peace. It refers ...
