I recently featured Yamibuy as an Asian market for snacks and sweets – they are also an excellent source for makeup and beauty products!!

These beautiful products are a perfect indulgence for those pampering “princess days,” and can be worked into your daily care routine after that!

A facial wash that also moisturizes is definitely a plus!!

Cute & Sweet Japanese Snacks & Home Accessories

Tuesday, August 15th, 2017

Yamibuy is an online Asian market where you can buy all kinds of Japanese (and Korean, and Indian, and Chinese, and more) snacks and convenient home stuff!!  They also have makeup and beauty goods, but I am definitely saving that for a future post~

You can definitely use the site to buy the “usual” snacks you might look for when you’re hungry for Japanese snacks – you got your pockys, your mochis, your instant noodleses of all kinds (please read that list in Strong Bad’s voice).  I put this list together to show off a handful of more unknown sweets and try something new!

MARUHA Pururun Dessert Strawberry

This dessert mix makes a strawberry peach drink when you mix it with milk!
There are sweet little strawberry pieces throughout the mix~

NESTLADY Lotus Leaf Rose Tea 20g

Look at this SUPER PRETTY loose leaf tea!
It makes for such a nice display, I’d want to leave it out on the counter
as part of the kitchen decor rather than putting it away in a cabinet!

JOYOUNG Princess Series Electric Water Kettle Pink

Um can you believe that there is a PRINCESS SERIES of electric kettles??
Anyway, when it’s time to prepare your lovely rose tea,
it’s all the more fitting to use a lovely rose-colored kettle to do so~

BALI’SBEST Green Tea Latte 150g

OMG, these look like green tea versions of Werther’s!!
That sounds so awesome – I would be popping one of these in my mouth ALL day.
I like to have slow-melting sweets like this when I’m invested in work at the computer
or am spending a lot of time sewing.

HOUSE Purin Mix

This is the style of pudding that you always see in anime. o_o
Rather than going for a convenience store variety,
you can make some of your own with this mix!

Travel to Japan for an Okinawa Holiday! (Naha & Southern Okinawa)

Wednesday, July 19th, 2017

After covering Northern and Central Okinawa earlier in the week, here is a post to wrap-up the lower little part of it~

Okinawa is a good place to make your Japan-traveling dreams come true, because there are historical and traditional sections of it in addition to fun, modern shopping locations as well as plenty of BEACH!!  It’s also just an all-around beautiful place, as the photos here show.

Naha

Shuri Castle

In the days of the Ryukyu Kingdom, this castle was a political and cultural center.
Now, you can visit what remains of it to learn its story.

The Stone-Paved Road of Kinjo-cho

Beginning from Shuri Castle mentioned above, this walkway paved with Ryukyu limestone
will lead you through beautiful scenery to enjoy if you decide to take a stroll along it. c:

Kokusai Dori

This shopping district is right near the Naha airport, so you can enjoy it right when you arrive
or up until you’re about to leave~  It boasts modern shopping and name brands
in addition to traditional crafts.

Southern Okinawa (Itoman/Tomigusuku/Nanjo)

Valley of Gangala

This is a subtropical forest vibrant with nature and life!

Gyokusendo Caves

There is an Okinawa World Theme Park, and the entrance to these caves is located inside.
Ryukyu limestone is found in abundance here, in these mysterious caves that have
existed for more than 300,000 years.

Travel to Japan for an Okinawa Holiday! (Northern & Central Okinawa)

Monday, July 17th, 2017

Okinawa is a series of islands to the south-west of Japan’s “main island.”  In addition to its historical significance, it is also famous for its tropical climate, with tons of beaches and even coral reefs to visit!

If you have dreams of traveling to Japan, Okinawa is a good introductory destination, since not only would you enjoy yourself on the beaches and shopping, but you can also pay tribute to and appreciate its significance in history.

This first post covers a few things to do each in the northern and central regions of Okinawa!

Northern Okinawa (Onna/Nago/Motobu/Nakijin)

Okinawa Chunauri Aquarium

This is inside the Ocean Expo Park mentioned a bit below. c:
I love visiting aquariums, the water and beautiful creatures swimming around it
just feels so peaceful and relaxing!

Kouri Bridge

This bridge is 1,960m long, and offers views of the ocean on both sides
while you are on your way to or from Kouri Island!

Ocean Expo Park

This is a sightseeing area with multiple attractions including beaches
and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium!

Central Okinawa (Ginowan/Chatan/Okinawa City/Uruma/Yomitan)

Cape Manza

These beautiful cliffs are actually coral!  The view is of the East China Sea.
Many people travel here to see it during sunrise or sunset.

Bios on the Hill

This botanical park is pretty big, and allows visitors to experience
the ecosystem of Okinawa throughout each season.
You can enjoy walking on footpaths or ride a boat or water buffalo-drawn cart!

Araha Beach

This beach is 600m long and is located in Araha Park –
a good place to find a hotel so that you’re close by!

Cute & Convenient Everyday Items for Your Kawaii Home & Lifestyle

Monday, June 26th, 2017

My personal belief is that, whenever you are going to buy something convenient and functional,
if you are able to purchase that thing in a color or style that makes you happy,
you should absolutely do so!!  Especially when the thing in question is perfectly affordable!

These everyday, convenient items are all EXTREMELY cute,
AND they are not expensive at all!

Home Simply – Animal Cable / Earphone Organizer

Ohhhhh sooo cuuuuuuute!!
Not only will these hold headphone cables,
but they can wrap around other things as well –
several things are demonstrated in the photos when you click through!

I love that the nose of the animal is the button that you push through
to secure it… too cute… im gonna cry. ;A;

Litfly – Ear Head Band

These soft headbands hold your hair back while you are washing your face,
applying makeup, or anything else you might want to keep your hair
out of your face for~
And they come in these two soft, pretty colors and have cute kitty ears on them!!!

Litfly – Silicone Makeup Sponge (Tear Drop) (Pink)

These silicone makeup blenders are the current beauty trend,
and seemingly the successor of beauty blenders – since they are
silicone rather than spongy, your makeup doesn’t get absorbed into
the sponge, so more product gets on your face where you need it!
I imagine it’s also much easier to clean. c:

Hera’s Place – Cable Protector

O!M!G! these cable protectors look like sweet little pastel popsicles!!
Actually, those milky colors make them look like creamsicles……. :9
Anyway, these come in two parts – both the popsicle and its stick
work together to protect both ends of your cables!

Cute Essentials – Cherry Blossom Print Folding Umbrella

This is soooooo prettyyyyyyy!! *o*
I think that see-through umbrellas are very beautiful to begin with,
and having a shower of pretty pink petals above you as you walk through the rain…?
OMG!  That sounds so elegant and dreamy~
