I'm almost out of kimchi. We eat a lot of microwave rice. I hate doing the dishes. Time to take out the trash. I'm setting my alarm. Cheers! I just finished work, so I'm going to show you my night routine. In this video, I'm going to teach you some English vocabulary and expressions that you can use in your daily life. Let's get started. I'm about to cook some soybean paste stew for dinner. I already had most of the ingredients on hand, so I just dropped by the grocery store to pick up this soup packet, which is doenjang jjigae. That is soybean paste stew in English. I'll start by chopping up some vegetables on my cutting board. We've got zucchini and some potatoes. I'm cutting the zucchini lengthwise first. I try not to eat packaged food too much, but once in a while it's really nice on nights where I'm super busy and want something quick and easy. And it's better than getting Coupang Eats again, right? I order Coupang Eats way too much. At least this has some fresh veggies in it. I love these one-pot meals. I'm going to start by boiling the zucchini and the potato because they take a little bit of time to cook. I'll add the soup in a little bit later. I'm not filling the pot. I'm putting just a little bit in to soften these up, and now we wait. While I'm waiting on that, I'll prepare my tofu. I love tofu. I ate so much of it when I was vegan. I was vegan for 10 years, so it was my main source of protein. I'm draining the tofu. I think this actually has tofu already in it, but I could use some extra protein. I've been going to the gym lately trying to get some big muscles. I'm cutting the tofu into small cubes. I'm able to pierce everything with a fork so we can move on to our next step. I need to drain the water, but I I'm too lazy to get out a strainer, so I'll just use a ladle to get some of the water out. Ladle is both a noun and a verb. So this is a ladle, but it's also the action. I'm using a ladle to ladle the water out. Now I'm going to pour the soup in the pot and add the tofu. On the packet, it says this only takes like 3 minutes to cook on the stove. I'm adding some of the extra tofu in as well. I'm putting the rest of the tofu in a Tupperware. I'll eat it later this week. We don't have a rice cooker, so we eat a lot of microwave rice. And you've got to eat it with some seaweed. I'll just pop this in the microwave for a minute or two. Oh no, I'm almost out of kimchi. Ugh, I eat too much kimchi. I love it. I have a few other store-bought side dishes as well. Tonight we're having perilla leaves and black beans. I love both of these side dishes.
Do you like the sour one or the newer one?
I like all kimchi. All kimchi is good kimchi. So focused. This is the side dish you need a partner to help you, you know? One person helps peel it.
If I'm doing that and then if a girl helping me out, will you get—
Definitely not. Why would I? What? I mean, I would probably help first, but would you get mad if a boy helped me? No response? Let me show off my chopstick skills a little bit here. Level 10, level 10. I'm seasoned, but I'm impatient, so I will use a spoon. I'm ladling some soup into my bowl. Look at this spread. Not bad for a 10-minute meal. I'm starving, so I'm gonna dig right in. Not as good as mom's, but it's not bad. Oh no! Fail! My chopsticks went right through the seaweed. I feel like this is still a pretty healthy packaged meal. When I think of meals that are ready-to-eat in the US, I don't think they're as healthy. After a long day, I need a cold beer. This one is non-alcoholic though, which is great because I can still enjoy a drink knowing I won't have a hangover tomorrow. As I get older, my hangovers are getting worse and worse. Such a satisfying sound. Cheers! Refreshing. These days I'm watching The Vampire Diaries, which was a really popular show in the US in the early 2000s, but I had never watched it before. It's a great show to binge watch because there are 8 seasons and each season has like 20 episodes. It's a little bit corny, but it's addicting, and I love it because it's an easy watch. I don't have to pay close attention and can just have it playing in the background. My favorite character is Daemon. He's kind of a bad guy in the beginning, but as the show goes on, you can see him start to soften up, and he's actually a big teddy bear. Daemon is chindere, tough on the outside but sweet on the inside. I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that's also the stereotype of Busan boys. The cameraman is a Busan boy, and I can confirm it's true in his case. It's almost like a soap opera.
But with the handsome boys.
No, not handsome at all. I'm putting the rest of the soup into a Tupperware. I'll eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The worst part of cooking. I hate doing the dishes. I start by pumping some dish soap onto the rag. I miss having a dishwasher. Actually, I still have a dishwasher. He's just busy holding the camera right now. Do you want to switch sides here?
5 bucks.
Done! You're doing amazing, sweetie. Good job, Kylie!
You're doing amazing, sweetie!
The dishes are done and drying on the drying rack. I'm going to wipe down the counters now. I just use this all-purpose spray and some paper towel. I don't deep clean during the week, but I do these small daily chores to help keep the house clean and tidy throughout the week. Our trash is overflowing, so it's time to take out the trash. I'm putting a new trash bag in the trash can. My recycling has piled up, so I'm going to take this with me. It's time to sort the recycling. After dinner, I like to take a short walk to help with digestion. When I walk in the morning, I usually listen to music or talk to my family on the phone, but at night I like to just think and reflect on my day.
Why are you walking like Aditi?
Who do you think I learned it from? Besides, it's good for my posture. After my walk, I changed into my PJs and now it's time to do my skincare routine. First, I use a cotton pad and eye makeup remover to remove my eye makeup. It's so hard getting all the mascara off. But I just keep wiping it very gently and eventually it comes off.
I'm putting my hair up because it's time to cleanse my face.
My favorite cleanser is the Manyo Cleansing Foam. First, I need to get my face a little bit wet. Then I squeeze a bit of the cleanser onto my fingertips. And lather it in my hands before spreading it all over my face. I also make sure to get my neck really well. Then I rinse it all off. After rinsing my face, I pat it down with a towel to dry it off. Next, I use one of these dark spot pads from Abib. I love spending time out in the sun, so I definitely see some dark spots on my face. I've also been breaking out a little bit lately. I woke up with a big pimple on my nose. I don't know if you can still see it, but it's driving me crazy. Next, I go in with this Rejuval PDRN cream. I bought this at the Korean pharmacy after seeing a lot of TikToks about it. They say it's the miracle cream for anti-aging. I don't know if it's true, but I might as well try it. To finish up, I use this Astra moisturizing cream. This is one of my favorite skincare products. I have pretty dry skin and I feel like this helps a lot. We are done! My skin is super glowy now. You know what time it is? It's tea time! At night, I don't like to drink green tea or black tea because they contain caffeine, so I stick to herbal tea such as this peppermint and spearmint tea. I'm grabbing a mug out of the cupboard and putting the tea bag into the mug. I'm turning on the faucet to fill up the kettle. Let's wait for the water to boil. I always like to have a candle lit at night. And one thing about me is I'm a matchbook girl. I love matchbooks. They always have cute designs on them, and there's something romantic about lighting a match. The scent of this candle is fresh herbs and lemon zest. It smells very fresh, and calming. I love this vibe. I really hate the bright white overhead lights. I like small warmer lights. It makes your house feel more cozy. Even in the summer, I like to cuddle up with a blanket at night. I have to blow on my tea because it's so hot. I don't want to burn my tongue. I feel like this is healing me from the inside out. I don't have a coffee table, so I need to just set it on the floor. Minimalist life, remember? When I did my morning routine, I showed you guys this journal, the Five Minute Journal. This morning, I filled out the morning section, and now that it's nighttime, I'll be filling in the night section. There are two parts in the night section. The first one says highlights of the day, and the second one says what did I learn today. And I'll also read today's quote. Be present in all things and thankful for all things. And that's by Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou was a very famous poet and writer and activist. She's really amazing and inspirational. One highlight of my day was going to the gym and getting a good workout in. I've been working with a personal trainer at the gym lately, and today she killed me. In a good way though. But I think tomorrow I'll be super sore. Another highlight was the beautiful weather. It was so sunny today, but it's starting to get a little bit cooler in the morning and at night. I think fall is right around the corner. My final highlight of the day would probably be talking with my family and friends. I miss my loved ones back home, but I always try my hardest to keep in touch with them. The final question is, what did I learn today? Today I learned that it's very important to appreciate the small things. Today was a very simple day and nothing extraordinary happened, but small things about today brought me joy. It's almost time for bed, but I have some homework to finish up first. I recently started going to Korean classes again. These classes that I'm taking are actually provided through the government. I must take these classes if I want to become a permanent resident here in Korea. Right now we're learning about ways to describe people's personalities. I learned a really fun word. It's mudukduk. I think it's such a fun word to say and has a really hilarious meaning. The cameraman is a little bit mudukduk. Mudukduk hansarami ya. It's time for bed, so I'm setting my alarm. I always set 3 alarms. The first one is at 6, then I have one at 6:15 and 6:30 just in case, but I always try my best not to hit the snooze button. Let's plug this in and go to bed. I keep my phone in the living room overnight so that I'm not tempted to scroll in bed. It also forces me to get out of bed to come out here and shut off the alarm. I always wear a silk bonnet to bed to protect my hair while I sleep.
And the last thing I do every single night before going to sleep is read my book. I love to read. I'm a huge bookworm. I'm still reading Colorless by Murakami and I'm about a third of the way through it now.
I'm yawning.
I started to nod off a little bit while reading so I think it's time to turn off the lights and go to bed. It's really annoying having to get out of bed to turn off the lights. But thankfully I have one of those systems where it's automatic. I'll show you how it works in a second. That's it for my night routine. Check out the pinned comment below and good night! Watch this.
Huh?
Light!
I gotta get that fixed. There's system error. System error.
Ah, hey! What the? It worked!
