another joybuy haul

 Heya,

Oops I did it again...

So I  guess it will be a regular thing ordering from Joybuy but only the things that run empty I guess.

I was thinking of buying in bulk at first but the shipping is so damn fast and most of my bottles are still kinda full, so I guess I will just order something when I need something.

First was this Set of Pastaplates...I normally don't use regular plates, so I figured to get more of these...however they are actually quite big..Ooops.

I also ordered some more chopsticks...because I only have 2 wooden pairs.

These are made out of steel and actually square...so stuff is easier to pick up.



Some more household stuff...Don't ask me why I ordered 8 pack of dishwasher salt...I guess I don't need to buy more in a while lmao...
I also was thinking since a long time to get wet wipes and these are actually flushable which was my biggest worry.


3 bottles of Soju (strawberry is a re-buy because it was so good).
Also proper tteok to make tteokbokki and Bai Jia Noodles to try.


A bunch of mochis because it's my most favourite snack.
The ones from Bamboo House are incredibly good.
Also Nori as snacks lmao haha.


No judging here: I really want to try chicken feet but because there are no fresh ones sold here (at least haven't found any place yet) I want to try with a snack first.
I actually really used to love these ready-to-eat meat snacks.
I also got melon seeds because I was curious but disliked it a lot haha but gave it to my parents, they absolutely love nuts and semetschki (sunflower seeds).
I gave a pack to my dad and when I went around the corner all I could hear was him munching them haha...guess he really likes it.
On top is Taro powder, because I love Taro very much and it's literally nowhere to be bought here.


First Night I immediately tried creamy gochugaru Teokbokki <3


Another meal I tried...tasty Salmon...it almost looks like meat but it isn't.
(Rice below haha)


I also tried a recipe for Sanbeiji, although at first I was hesitant when I heard 15-20 whole garlic cloves but loved it a lot.


Today I tried my Taro powder and it's the best!!
I need to prepare Taro and cool it in the fridge, because I think it taste better cold and now I did a hot beverage with foam milk, which is super delicious but cold just hits a bit better.

-

Also since a long time...I got 2 new songs I am obsessed about.
some more german metal songs with amazing lyrics.

Du hast kein Herz by Till Lindemann


Front singer from Rammstein, has published a while ago some more songs and I already put a few in my favourite list and lately stumbled across this one.

Are you born without a heart?
Or have you lost it?
Has it been broken?
Jabbed by another hand?
Just disappeared like that?
I searched and didn't find anything
Suffering and pain every day
You have no heart

Next song

Mein Leid by Maschinist


Never heard from them before but love this song a lot.

You are my sorrow, which I carry deep inside me
The angel and devil in me
You are my sorrow, until the end of days
Forever connected with you, you are my sorrow!

I know it's a matter of taste and definitely the songs hit a lot better when you understand the text haha.

That's like...exactly the kind of songs I enjoy.

home gets cozier

Heya!

So the rest of my furniture came and I wanted to blog but then had no time to blog..
So NOW...

First: my new chair for my beauty studio..
I want to get a similiar one but as an office chair but it's not a priority for now..



It fits in so much better than the huge beige one.
The huge one is in the corner now.

And my new couch came..
So the whole plan was to have like a cozy corner on the bottom of the room.

I spent hours browsing different dining tables and constellations and no matter which I found, everything was too big, or idk..
And then I found module couches and no lie, even though you can combine them differently, the others were also too big...this was the only match.

I had hoped to get a black one but they only had dark grey or green,orange...
so beige it is again...and luckily it matches my bed.



This was the idea I had in mind, with a lower table.
At first I wanted to get a Kotatsu but they didn't have the measurements I wanted and honestly, I know myself, I probably won't use the kotatsu the way it should have been.
 
The couch was vacuumed, so it needs a couple hours until it bounces back fully and my colleague joked that the couch looks like paper...lmaooo.
It looks better now but yea,...


And a day later the couchtable arrived...which my dad accidentally broke assembling it.
One of the wood "plates" got damaged by the wrong screw( in the picture bottom right, the plate next to the black one is missing)...those instruction manuals were so difficult to read. I wanted to assemble it on my own but failed at step 1.
Good to have a dad haha..
He told me he would just glue the damaged part and it's not visible if you don't know.
It's already fixed but I don't have a picture of it.

My mum disliked it haha...she pretended to struggle so hard to get down and how she is supposed to eat there when she is invited.
The thing is...my parents never come over (maybe like once a year)...AND I saw her crawling on the floor, playing with my niece..I know for sure she was just acting as it was terrible just because she is not used to it. 
"As long as you are happy" xD
Standard parent move.

After a few days I can say it was 100% the correct decision...I love this constellation.
I love how I have a space but it doesn't seem like it's in the way..


Now I need a carpet for underneath...also to prevent it from slipping too much.
I am not sure yet but I thought taking some of these puzzle carpets I bet you have seen them plenty already as well...I just don't know which color.
I have seen the same kind but with fur...which is also kinda cool..but I feel like it will be too much.
Oh and my bed...also super duper cozy...I love these sheets.

Next expensive thing: a new laundry machine, but with a dryer.
I don't use a dryer that much, because I believe it damages the clothes BUT my space is getting smaller and I really really don't want to run into my laundry rack anymore.
It's basically in the background of any selfie I posted lmao.

Now in the summer it's on my balcony which was amazing btw...but it is getting colder now, rainier...that means summer is over...it's only a matter of weeks until it's impossible to dry clothes outside.
I probably will order it in like the middle of the month, so it arrives when I am at home after the surgery, so I can choose the assembly date as well.
(Or I let my dad do it again lmao.)

I also received some nail stuff.
I need to stop buying more stuff before receiving clients.
It's so much work and although I work only part-time I still feel like I don't have time to take clients after all? I barely manage to do the preparations. 
The longer it takes me the more insecure I feel about starting at all.
So to relieve my stress I try to view it as a hobby now..


I got some molds to be able to make more gems..


As you can see on the left, the small detailed things break though...it is impossible to make them...
the bigger ones like bows and crosses though...amazing feature.
I need to pre-make some though because it takes longer than I thought it would.





I just picked a random nail I had to try it out and geez...this is the cleanest blend I ever had.
I will never ever ever use polish or colorgel for ombre again.

or will I?

because after a million years...yes..


I ordered an airbrush..
I haven't used it yet, also because it....kinda scares me.
It's probably easier than it seems but I definitely will watch a video or two before I put polishes in there I will never get cleaned again lmao.

What else is to say?
lots...but idk.
Two recipes I tried again turned out wayyy better this time.
Jiaozi and the Dan Dan Mian.
The dough for the Jiaozi was way better and now doing the sauce for Dan Dan in a bowl instead of in the pan (I was so used putting everything in the pan, that I didn't know this was an option).
It turned out both very delicious.
I am motivated to do more...I will try the recipe for the Tangyuan, maybe next week?
Also probably, when at the end of the month I am at home, I will prepare more stuff, like i.e. more Jiaozi, some Bao and maybe even fishcake.
After surgery I will be home for a week, I won't be able to eat anything solid but have enough time to prepare and freeze that stuff..(makes sense right?).

Well, I try to blog more but life is busy currently.
