  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...
