On the eve of the local elections, the writer returned to Yahwa Sillim with a friend first met at the bar, ordered a non-alcoholic Orange Sunrise, a Peach Crush and a New York cheesecake, and passed the time with a magic advice book and a crocodile teeth game. Other solo bars were too loud, so the writer came back to Yahwa Sillim, a comfortable Sillim bar for easy conversation and late-night drinks.

Sillim lash perm to ditch the heated curler: C-curl at Yeppeojina

Yeppeojina (예뻐지나) is a lash perm salon near Bongcheon Station in Gwanak, Seoul. The writer used a heated eyelash curler every day because of drooping lash tips. She booked a same-day appointment on Naver for Yeppeojina's signature Yeppeojina Perm, which gave a natural C-curl suited to her thin double eyelids, and the treatment was so comfortable that she fell asleep. For a natural lash perm that brightens bare-faced eyes without a curler, Yeppeojina is a satisfying choice.
