Fig and blueberry yogurt salt bread at Bakerist Brown, Gangnam café

Bakerist Brown is a bakery café near Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam, Seoul, with seating from the basement to the third floor plus an outdoor terrace. On a solo lunchtime visit, the writer tried fig wakppu salt bread and blueberry yogurt wakppu salt bread for the first time, ordered a salt cream coffee for 7,800 won and picked up a boxed healthy sand set as a gift. The wakppu salt breads were less sweet than expected and went well with an iced americano, and the healthy sand's box packaging made it easy to give away.

Cool brown tone-down hair color at Wedon Hair Gunja, a Seoul salon

Wedon Hair Gunja is a hair salon on the second floor of the Yunsup Bakery building near Exit 3 of Gunja Station in Gwangjin, Seoul. Arriving as the first customer of the morning, the writer had a cool brown tone-down color to cancel red tones from designer Jonghyun, a service that ran over 1 hour 30 minutes, then finished with a C-curl blow-dry. Wedon Hair Gunja matched even the root tone carefully, making this the most satisfying hair color result for the writer.
