I was very excited to get this box from Inspire Me Korea. I love history and this box was all about Traditional Korea.
The first thing to come out of the box was the 33rd issue of Inspire Me Korea Magazine, and this one is entitled The Tradition. Inside there is a little bit of everything from Korean language tips to Korea’s best kept secret.
The Jeju Natural Canola Honey Mask is a sheet mask that I have tried last month and my skin just slurped all the goodness from it. It left my skin nice and hydrated for a few days so I’m happy that I got it again.
Next up is a Calligraphy postcard that was made in collaboration with the artist Jang Hyeon Ju. It looks great and it will make a great addition to a journal entry, a mixed media project or even to send to someone with a heartfelt message.
This item is a Do It Yourself project. It is a traditional 하회탈, (Hahoetal) named after a village in Korea. This mask looks like the nobleman mask from a collection of 12 masks usually used in plays. Now-a-days they usually have very vivid colors.
The snack of the box this time is MikWang Whole Wheat Crackers. I saw them and thought...hmm I don’t know if I want to eat this, but once I took a bite I was very surprised. They are yummy as a snack between meals without ruining your appetite for the main meal later.
The final item in the box was a Bokjumeoni (복주머니), which means fortune pouch, is a drawstring silk or cotton pouch embroidered with various auspicious symbols that are believed to bring fortune. Inside the pouch there were three traditional Korean coins called Oshuchon (I tried to find the Hangul for this term but couldn’t find it) I think I am going to keep this pouch with me from now on. I need all the luck I can get lately 🤣
