iced doppio espresso

my signature coffee rec may sound fancy, but it’s simple. milk makes it a latte, but it’s generally cheaper ordered as a doppio + milk.

Sneaking photos of things you love into gallery walls

Because as a 30-something-year-old kpop fan, sneaking idol photos into my home is basically my version of hidden Easter eggs. Guests see a cute gallery wall. I see a carefully curated collection of “is that art… or is that Kai from EXO?”

candle warmers (and your AC probably would recommend it, too)

One of those small swaps that makes you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. You still get to enjoy your favorite scent, but skip the soot and smoke that can affect your indoor air, air filter, and HVAC system. Your candles last so much longer, too. Bonus points for choosing natural waxes and non-toxic essential oils if you have pets. Love, an ex-candle-burner addict

kai’s self-titled ep

Kai’s 2020 solo debut is a minimalist pop-meets-R&B piece about magnetism, identity, and desire, where every song feels like a different expression of his quiet, sleek confidence. Personal fav is “Amnesia” which explores the inability to shake someone from your mind. Note: Korean/English languages
