[ Night Routine ] 22時に寝る平日の夜の時間。一人暮らし夏のナイトルーティン。

It is hot during the day but still a little chilly in the afternoon in mid-June. It's a weekday evening when I come home after running errands outside. My body has been somewhat heavy recently. I'm hoping to get to bed around 10pm today. When I get home, the first thing I do is organize my bag. I turn on indirect lighting to create a warm atmosphere in the room. I remove my jewelry before washing my hands. I used to wear jewelry 24/7, but since I got the jewelry box, I've gotten into the habit of taking it off when I get home. The openness of the room when the accessories are removed is also comfortable and serves as a switch to off mode from here on. I take off my jewelry and go straight to the sink. Wash hands and gargle. My favorite soap dispenser was bought at Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Inside, I have ACCA KAPPA's White Moss scented hand soap. I bought it because I like the scent, but I also like that it foams up and washes well. I fold the laundry I was turning in while I was out. I'd love to sit on the couch and relax, but I need to get to bed early today, so I'm just going to make quick work of my chores. Before dinner, I was thirsty, so I rehydrated. Drink a glass of chilled acerola drink. The sweet and sour taste of the acerola drink soaks into my tired body... I will cook dinner as it is. Tonight, I'm going to make that thing you crave in the summer. Making bibim-style somen noodles, which is becoming a summer staple and a shortcut dish. Start with the sauce. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon each of sugar and gochujang (red pepper paste). 2 teaspoons vinegar. 1 teaspoon sesame oil. A pinch of grated garlic. Mix them together and the bibim-style somen sauce is ready. Next, boil the somen noodles. I was so happy it was summer that I bought some good somen noodles. Boil in plenty of water for 2 minutes Let's put pork shabu shabu on top of noodles today! I don't want to use several pots, so I boil it with the somen noodles. Drain the boiled somen noodles in cold water. Put the somen noodles in the bowl with the sauce... Mix thoroughly and toss with the sauce. Serve on a cool, summery plate. Top with cucumber and pork shabu-shabu. Plenty of kimchi. I came up with the idea that it would be delicious with natto on top... I decided to try an arrangement with natto on top. Chopped seaweed and egg on top... Sprinkle with sesame seeds and you are done! Today's dinner 🍚 Bibim-style somen noodles and the inari sushi I bought. Crack an onsen egg and mix well before serving. Bibim-style somen noodles that are easy to eat even when you don't have an appetite in the summer. It was consistently delicious, but maybe I didn't need the natto topping... I will continue to experiment with various arrangements! (Laughs) I turn my back on my desire to relax after dinner and put away the dishes I've used. I need to take a bath as soon as possible to give myself a little extra time before bed... Clean the kitchen table top as well. On days when I want to go to bed early, I can't clean up the house as thoroughly as I'd like, but just wiping it down a bit clears it up (and my mind). Something I really wanted to do before taking a bath... Prepare plum syrup. I've been preparing and freezing the plums, but I haven't had much time to make it, so today's the day..! Preparing plum syrup while watching "My First Plum Job." Put ice sugar and frozen plums in clean jars, alternating with each other. I decided to make a larger jar of plum syrup this summer, to enjoy using it in a variety of different ways. I'd like to try plum wine next year. Wait 2 weeks in a room with no sun, shaking the jar occasionally. Remove makeup before taking a bath. I use Bioderma Cleansing Water on days when I use a lighter foundation. I'm not a big fan of the long process before I take a bath, but with this one, I just wipe it off and that's it. It is a wipe-off, but it removes makeup and moisturizes my skin. I am of the group that wants to soak in the bath on summer nights when I am tempted to just take a shower. I'd like to soak in the tub for an hour or so. PANPURI's Milk Bath & Body Oil is added to the bath. I love the peony scent in this 3-way oil that can be used as a bath salt, moisturizer, and massage. Prepare a bath set with a bathtub tray and enjoy a long summer bath. Apply a clay mask to the entire face once a week for special care. Spirulina and green tea are blended to unclog pores and soften the skin. AROMATICA body scrub for the whole body. The scrub is full of rosemary. The gel-like texture of this scrub is perfect for summer and helps to cleanse the skin and improve its texture. After a full-body care session, I'll soak in a relaxing bath and read that book I've been wanting to read. I like reading in the bath because I can concentrate and read quietly. Tonight I read "Finland Travels with a Will." After bathing, before the skin dries out, I use Cosme Decorte's liposome serum. My favorite product, on my third repeat with an introductory serum that approaches firmness and luster. It is refreshing and watery, and since I started using it, I feel that my skin problems have decreased dramatically. Apply serum. Face pack while hair is drying. Tonight I'll be using MEDIHEAL's tea tree and cica face pack. I like that the sheets are full of serum, but they don't drip and I can feel the calming effect. It's getting hotter, so I've lifted the ban on short-sleeved, short-pants pajamas. These are the Grinch pajamas I bought in Australia. Once the face pack is removed, I cover it with Cosme de Corte cream. The day after I apply this, my skin feels plumper and more radiant. It is an indispensable skin care item that I always keep in stock. Finish skin care and take care of my lips. I recently bought a lip scrub from PANPURI that's so good, I've started taking better care of my lips. Gently massaged over the lips with a berry scent for a soothing effect. After tissue off the scrub, moisturize with LANEIGE lip sleeping mask Aiming for plump lips without vertical wrinkles... Since I was able to finish my bath early, it is time to do what I like from here ♩ Making a rewarding sweet treat that I've been into lately. Matcha Parfait at Home ♩ I found a shiratama ball that I just boil, so sometimes I make matcha parfait at home and enjoy it. Only enough to eat. Cut up the shiratama ball and boil them in boiling water. Even the shiratama, which was a pain to make from powder. I want shiratama in my green tea ice cream..! Since I found this, my evening dessert time has become more authentic. Put a commercial matcha sponge cake in a bowl. Put whipped cream on top of it. About a scoop and a half of matcha ice cream is just right. Top with boiled shiratama balls and sprinkle generously with soybean flour. Finally, pour a generous amount of molasses over the top, and the green tea parfait is complete! It is eaten with brown rice tea. Not every day, but a few times a week I make a simple dessert after my bath. This evening's dessert time will energize me for tomorrow! The shiratama is also chewy and delicious... 🧡 I listen to music, look at social networking sites... I brushed my teeth and came into the bedroom. I'll stay in bed and read until I fall asleep. I was reading this book in the bath, and I'm anxious to read the rest of it. Recently, I like to read travel books. I've been reading all kinds of travel books, especially about Scandinavia. I like to travel through images and pictures, but I also like to travel through text and imagine the place. I read it all the way through to the end, excited to see where I'd go next. Massage time before bed. A cassa bought in Korea and a body oil for the night are my latest massage set. Lately I've been massaging my feet heavily before going to bed. Massaging my thighs and calves with the unevenness of this cassa feels so good! I sprinkle pillow mist on mine to help me fall asleep better. I've been sleeping better than I lied since I found my favorite scented pillow mist. Weekday nights when I go to bed early and get ready for tomorrow. This is my summer night routine.
