Video summary

The creator provides a comprehensive update on her life seven months after moving into her new home in Seoul, detailing the gradual process of furnishing the space and organizing her collection. She shares that she has acquired 97 vinyl records, noting that while she initially expected to have over a hundred, she plans to reach that goal by purchasing three more special albums later. Her apartment is slowly becoming cozier as she adds furniture and decor, including artwork from pottery classes where she created unique pieces like a yogurt bowl with her friend Chisha. She also mentions ongoing projects, such as organizing skincare products and deciding whether to keep certain empty spaces in her room as they are, reflecting on the slow but steady progress of settling into her new living environment. A significant portion of the video focuses on her recent health journey, particularly regarding food intolerances and high cholesterol. After taking a food intolerance test with her friend Joan, she discovered that common foods like ketchup cause inflammation in her body, though she remains happy with items like kiwi and almonds. Her doctor has advised her to lower her cholesterol levels within six months to avoid starting medication, a goal she is pursuing through dietary changes like eating natto for breakfast. Additionally, she shares exciting news about finally completing her Invisalign treatment, expressing great satisfaction with the rounder shape of her smile and acknowledging that while she must wear retainers indefinitely, she feels much happier with her straightened teeth. In terms of lifestyle updates and hobbies, the creator highlights several new acquisitions and experiences, including attending her first flea market where she successfully sold all her items despite the cold weather. She has also invested in upgrading her home coffee setup by purchasing a Bambino Plus espresso machine and a Baratza grinder, allowing her to brew high-quality coffee at home after researching various models extensively. Her daily routine now includes morning and night walks with her dog, Louis, whom she is currently dogsitting while her brother travels to China. She also discusses moving her matcha and coffee station to a new nook in the house, embracing the pleasant autumn weather that has replaced the previous summer heat. The video concludes with a special announcement regarding her friend Jung's upcoming wedding, which marks a significant milestone as she was the youngest in their group to get married. The creator plans to assist with behind-the-scenes photography for the studio shoot, balancing her excitement for the event with personal preparations like powdering specific areas of her face to look good on camera. She reflects on her recent red hair dye job done on New Year's Eve and shares her outfit choices for the day, emphasizing comfort while maintaining style. Throughout the video, she expresses gratitude to her viewers for their continued support despite her irregular posting schedule and wishes everyone health, happiness, and safety as she looks forward to catching up with them soon.

H. Hi everybody. Hi. Happy New Year by the way. Very late, but happy new year. I'm back and I wanted to fill you guys on in my life and tell you what I've been up to. So, the last time I vlogged at home was when I sat down to talk to you guys about my life updates. My very big life update. That was July. So, it's been 7 months, almost 7 months since it's already been 7 months since I moved into this house. I've been filling this space up little by little, getting new furniture and still not done. The second floor is coming along a little bit. I think it's getting cozier and cozier. I did vlog here and there, so I'm going to put those clips in to try to make this a complete vlog. It's time to fill this up with LPs and books. And while I'm at it, I'm going to count how many LPS I have because I haven't really counted ever. I'm going to try to group them into genres. These three I have 97 in total. I thought I would have over a hundred, but close. I don't know why I have the Death of a Salesman DVD. Oh, this was the time when I was like obsessed with Dustin Hoffman. Also have Funny Face DVD and a collection of James Dean DVDs. I'm so tired. I think I've done enough for the day. And then on this side, I still have like skin care products I have to organize. And then for this side, I have no idea what to do. I mean, I don't have that much space here, so I feel like I'll just keep it empty. I've also been taking pottery classes here and there, mostly handb building. This is artwork number one. This is number two. This by Chisha. This one's mine. Yogurt bowl. This one is her face. We're done. We're going to come back in three weeks to pick it up. Finally got our pieces. It's been three months. >> So cute. >> I love it. Very >> It's cute. Mine's just green. And then the second time we took another class at another studio. Peanut butter. I wanted to make a yogurt bowl. Yeah. I made it like for my yogurt. Okay. I see the polka dot. I don't like this color. Cute. Um, what else is there? Oh, I've been very into health and fitness lately. I took a food intolerance test with Joan just to see what causes inflammation in my body. Yes. Oh, ketchup. Ketchup. Ketchup. It's bad. >> Look at how red it is. >> Of all things though, like I love kiwi and I love almonds. Tomato and cabbage or whatever. I just mostly eat them to be healthy. But like almond and kiwi I was kind of sad about. But then um you know Joan next to me, she got so many food that she can't eat. So I wasn't complaining. I don't think this test is like 100% proven to be accurate, but a lot of people in Korea have been doing it and a lot of people said that it's been really helpful with improving their health. I also got my yearly checkup and I have high cholesterol. So that's been something I've been trying to be mindful of. Both my parents have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So I think just genetically I'm more prone to having high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Blood pressure I'm okay with for now. But cholesterol the doctor said I need to try to bring it down in the next six months before we do another test or else I might have to start taking medication. And I do not want to start taking cholesterol medication right now. I want to put it off as much as possible. So, that's been tough. I've mostly been eating natto as my breakfast, and I've been loving natto. I used to not understand how people could eat it, but I actually like it now. It's like so good when you put it on top of rice with sesame oil and an overe egg and some sesame seed and you mix it and you have it with kimchi. It's like the best. If any of you guys have high cholesterol and you found a way to lower your LDL, um, something that works for you, let me know because I need all the advice that I can get. I just had a flea market yesterday, my first ever flea market. I didn't bring too much stuff compared to my friends, but still, I sold out everything. And even though it was really cold, a lot of people showed up. I was so happy to meet some of you guys in person. and my longtime lovelies as well. It was like a really good reunion. It's very wholesome. So, thank you so much for coming out again. Hopefully, I can do another flea market in the summer or the fall. Oo, I have updates with Invisalign, too. Maybe I should make another separate video talking about my experience with Invisalign. Your girl's done with Invisalign, though. I'm finally done. Look at my smile. I love it. My teeth have become much more straight, of course, but it's become more round and feel like my smile just looks better. My mouth looks huge. I mean, I do have a big mouth, but I have to wear retainers for life, which is a little sad, but at least I can just wear them when I go to sleep and it's not like an all day thing. I'm very happy with the results. I love my teeth now. Yeah. So, if you have questions on Invisalign, let me know. Maybe I could do like a separate Q&A video for Invisalign. And I'm not sure if you know, but I moved very close to Joan. We're like 12 minute walking distance, 7 minute running distance from each other. So, we've been spending a lot of time in this neighborhood exploring. Happy Sunday. I'm going to go to this with Joan today. I always wanted to check it out because they have a lot of antiques, retro stuff. They have like a huge treat filled with vendors every Sunday. It's finally not raining today. Okay, what to wear? Okay, I'm going to go with this and I'm going to do my hair and a half bun. Give my cute phone case with sonnie angel. Okay, let's go. What did he Hey. Hey. Oh, it's like all colored. You see? Like orange. Didn't you come here for a lamp? >> Hey, I'm always down to >> I counted my LPS. I have 97. >> Well, you have to buy three more now. >> I know. That's my goal right now. But I don't want to buy anything. Just anything. >> It needs to be special. Your hundth one has to be special. >> Well, look at Ken or Aladdin. >> Where? >> It's Eric. Wait, but that has to be your hundth one then. >> So, you have to buy three today. >> She is buying She is buying her 98th LP. Wow. Louis Vuitton, huh? >> Hey, competition. >> Competition. >> You've been very rough. He was like, "Even this fell off." Remember this part for the thumb? >> It was like a silicone here. >> That was the first birthday present we got for her. >> Yeah. 2018. So, it's been 7 years. It doesn't close. I have so many scratches on my >> Please watch her videos so she could buy a new camera. >> Every view counts. >> It does. >> All right. Which influencer did this? Who's selling? Who's selling their free stuff? What the heck? >> It was not. Oh, you didn't block lunch. >> They have decaf. They have decaf. No matcha, right? >> Mhm. >> From matcha. >> I got an espresso machine. That's a huge update. I always wanted an espresso machine and I feel like such a grown-up because I finally got one, please. No. Okay. Doesn't want to come up. Anyways, um I've been dogsitting Louis because my brother and his girlfriend are on a trip to China and I've been enjoying every moment, which means endless ball throwing. I asked on Instagram about this little nook I have right here, and a lot of people advised me to make this like my matcha/c coffee station, which sounds like a good idea. I was thinking of making this my matcha and coffee station. So, I'm thinking of moving this to my little nook over there and making it my coffee/matcha station. What do you think? The weather is so nice now. Perfect fall weather. This summer was excruciatingly hot and then one day I woke up and it was breezy and it was cool and I was like, "Wow, fall just came like that." Louis and I have been enjoying our morning and night walks. Uh, I was debating which model to get. It's like, do I want the Pro? Do I want like the latest one? I knew I wanted the analog one. I didn't really like the touch screen, but then I was reading everywhere that people were having issues with the grinder, the built-in grinder on the Brevel Pro. So, a lot of people were suggesting just getting the Bambino and then getting a separate grinder just because the built-in grinder is faulty. So, that's what I did. I got the Bambino Plus in stainless steel. I'm so excited. Can't believe I waited this long to unbox. Ow. Ow. I got a muscle. 3 second heat up time, hands-free milk texturing, 18 g dos for full flavor, low pressure pre-infusion, and nine bar extraction. I have no idea what that means. I do have a barista license, but I forgot everything. I was able to get this for half price because I used my car points, so that was another plus. Yeah. So, this is basically free. It's beautiful. Wow. Nice and sturdy. Nice. Nice. Ooh. You ready? You ready? Isn't she beautiful? I know myself well enough to read the instructions now cuz I always mess things up by just pressing without reading the instructions. Hey This is the grinder I got. Baratza. Okay. What else do I put here? Last but not least, the biggest update is that our mangi is getting married. Yeah, she was the youngest of our group and she is the first to get married. Hi. Today is a very special day and I am vlogging because our among Jinny is getting married. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, our among is getting married. So, she's doing a studio shoot today and I'm going to go help her with some of the, you know, behind the scenes photos. I mean, I love taking pictures. So, when she asked, I was like, "Hey, who better than me for this job?" Um, so Jung can't come because she has a performance in Wanju, her hometown. Been breaking out cuz it's that time of the month. Okay, time to go. Oh, wait. I have to powder my face. only here next to my nose on my smile lines and here next to my nose bridge, my forehead, and my chin cuz I still want to look dewy on my cheeks. So, those are the only spots I powder my face on. And it just looks way better in pictures when these areas that I just powdered aren't shiny. This is my OOTD. I wanted to be comfortable, so just wearing this off the shoulder long sleeve from Poly Swim and these cargo pants, cargo shorts from Sculpture. And this bag with lots of charms on it. Cute, cute sunglasses are gentle monster. Oh my god. Okay. Oh, step Don't put this Never ending story. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. pulling that I love my wine red glasses from Shivoke that matches my hair. Oh yeah, also my hair is red. It's fading now and I'm going to be dying it black in the next few days. But it was nice while it lasted. It was red for like a month. I got it done on the last day of December, December 31st. So, I know on Get Real I said that I wasn't going to touch my hair this new year, but it technically wasn't a new year because I got it done on December 31st. Thanks for clicking on this video and thanks for sticking around despite my very irregular posting and schedule. I hope life is treating you well, guys. I hope you are healthy and happy and safe and I will catch up with you guys soon. Good night.
