It's All Down Hill From Here

Did you know you can go sledding for 5,000\?

They provide the sleds and everything.

Comfort Cabinet

$2 at Daiso. Use makeup sponges instead of brushes for easy painting.

A Drama's set is very important.  

It's as much a character as a place.

It reflects the priorities of the players,

and the direction of the story.

Which is why my Drama's set is always changing,

because so am I. 

Since joining Pinterest,

this evolution has taken on an a life of its own.

Starting with my Comfort Center

which holds all the things for making 

my winter days at home a little more fun:

TV

Chocolate

Music

Booze

Cookbooks.

One problem though,

its UGLY!!

and it makes my living room look like a college dorm.

 

However, no matter how ugly it is,

I don't want to spend money on it.

So, a quick look at the DIY porn on Pinterest, 

a quick run to Daiso, 

and three hours later we have this!

Painted the insides black and added a pretty paper to give contrast. Added extra storage below.

The room feels much more grown up and settled.  Less like I make beer runs at midnight.

Empty pasta sauce jars wrapped in juk calendars make the feet :)

I added a tea box to save room in my kitchen.  Also keeps my tea nice and dry.

It's true, me on Pinterest
is like handing a crack pipe to an addict.
I'm already looking at my rumpous room doors wondering,

"How can I make those prettier without losing light?"

Looks like I need to go check out some more DIY porn.

I Say Fancy, You Say Fency

Pyeongtaek Coffee

There are days when only 

high backed chairs and rich textures will do.  

Days when I wish I was in Russia with my family

sitting around the Christmas tree drinking hot cocoa

we've brought from the states just for the occasion. 

On days like that,

I go to Jung Jin Won.

It wraps around me like a big comfy sweater.

When I'm sitting in their burgundy velvet chairs 

thumbing through my thoughts,

I can't help but fall in love my crazy little Drama 

just a little bit more.

Beans from all over the world. The Kona are "Extra Fency". 

Bubble tea!!

The privacy for working is awesome. 

5 out of 5 on the *hand heart* o'meter

If you want to get your Coffee,

system G.

There are two lefts,

Turn BEFORE that red stand.

How To Fix What's Broken

The Foot Shop - Not just for your feet.  Amazing sports massages that keep me walking.

 Sometimes you just need a massage.

You need essential oils and soft music.

And you need these things all by yourself.

Clean, Quiet and Beautiful

Since I have/had a broken back,

this is more of necessity, 

and they have to be very good and this places does a great job. 

In short, I need 

a massage therapist that knows their stuff.

I also need them to be affordable and not double as a brothel,

The Foot Shop is all of these things.

With massages starting at 40,000 

and excellent massage therapists

it's a no brainer.

I usually pay 60,000 - 70,000 for two hours 

Step 1

 Looking out from AK plaza,

follow the street to the left of this building

Step 2

You are going to walk on the right side of this street

until you see Caffe Benne on your left.

Step 3

There will be a waffle shop 

and then a shoe shop on your side of the street.

You have arrived!!

Perfect, Just As It Is

Beautiful things are everywhere, just waiting to be found.

But I've always loved the lost, broken things the best.

Just ask the Hairi-bou.
