Japan’s summer gift – Fruit jelly

Its so sweltering hot in Tokyo that I felt I could be suffering heatstroke anytime.
I can’t tell if its the effect of the stifling heat, I can’t get my eyes away from anything that says “cool and refresh”.

There was this fruit jelly that keeps “haunting” me.
It looks so temptingly delicious with all the fruits immersed in it.
A few spoonfuls are all I need… o(=^.^=)o

How about a little scenario like this?
It is a hot night and you just had a hot shower. The sky is clear and you can see stars. You recalled the jelly in the fridge. So you take one along with you to the balcony, and enjoy the chilled jelly while watching the starlit sky.

So what do you get out of this “little scenario”?
Well,,, nothing other than to appreciate more about the chilled jelly and starry sky.

The jelly comes in six different fruits.
Cherry, blueberry, kiwi, pear, mango and grape fruit if your are keen.

Refreshing fruit jelly for summer

comes in 9 per pack

Hot sticky summer days — Stay fresh with Biore

Summer in Japan spells, soaring temperatures, high humidity, heat island, that I have little tolerance for. I do appreciate the sun very much, but I can’t say the same for summer seasons.

You know how it feels when you wake up every morning, sticky and soak in sweat?
Each summer, I swear by Biore’s “sara sara powder sheet” ever since I started using it 3 years ago. It became a routine to just take one out from the pack, to wipe my body every morning. Body odor (bet that’s what most of you are conscious of) and stickiness, all gone within a wipe. Save me the shower, save water, save $$$. I feel so refresh and dry after that, as if I had a shower.
Nobody knows that I don’t shower in the morning b(^_-)b

I won’t know what’s the secret behind each sheet, but definitely “sara sara powder sheet” is another great product that I would strongly recommend.

And, wow! I didn’t realize there are as many as seven types available (@o@)!!
Those containing mild, pleasant scent are the only ones that I had tried before.
More types might show up again, next year, perhaps.

Please inquire through the blue button below for more details on this product.

Japanese fashion / simple & chic coordinates

Today’s fashion coordinate pick outs from ViVi magazine.
The theme will be simple and stylist coordinates that uses single or two colors.

The 1st style will be my best pick.
Grey sweat pant matches brilliantly with black tank top creating a very chic,
at the same time mysterious and exotic style.

The feminine all-white style, and the cool, man-like style are some simple, yet very neat and smart style that can’t possibly go wrong as working attires in my opinion.

Beautiful sisters of Japan

Beautiful with great style, they are known as the beauty siblings in Japan.
The eldest is Carena Michibata, followed by Jessica Michibita and the youngest, Angelica Michibata. They are full-time model and talent, no qualms about it with their “super long legs” and charisma.

— Does the face of Jessica Michibita (center) ring a bell? She is well-known for her high profile relationship with Jenson Button, British Formula One driver. —

They are “LIVE EXAMPLES” that heredity plays a part in beauty.
Most probably, their exotic looks came from their father who is a mix between Argentine & Italy.

Without doubts, they make lots of heads turn on the streets.
Ok, enough about the envy. Everyone’s life is special in their own way, I think (*’-^)

Rilakkuma for a toddler

He cries his way to nursery everyday.
Deciding that he needs a companion, Rilakkuma was chosen for the task to encourage and give him strength.

I bought Rilakkuma back. For the first time, I checked Rilakkuma thoroughly. It is amazing to know that despite having such small body, he has a big, heavy head. He looks very unproportional, but soon I realized that the design was intentionally to bring out the cuteness in Rilakkuma. Somehow Rilakkuma resembles his soon-to be little friend (@^-^@)

He likes Rilakkuma very much.
Rilakkuma became a close “friend” soon, and everyday he will try to stuff Rilakkuma into his bag which is way too small to fit in Rilakkuma. With Rilakkuma’s head popping out of the bag, he brings Rilakkuma to nursery and embraces Rilakkuma in his sleep everyday. Sometimes he wraps his hand around the neck of Rilakkuma. Other times, he will just seize one of the ears of Rilakkuma carrying it around.

HE is my NEPHEW.
My nephew had overcame the fear of nursery and now he loves going there!
Rilakkuma has opened his heart. My strategy worked!　v(*^-^*)v
And all thanks to Rilakkuma.

Japanese chic, natural style fashion

My favorite fashion coordinate pick ups.

I am not sure what is the precise fashion term in English but they call it “natural style” here in Japan. “Natural style” is one of my favorites among the vast varieties of Japanese fashion styles.

The name, “natural style” probably attributes to the use of earth tone, beige colors, simple and chic style designs. It is like Japanese’s own version of rustic style fashion.

And natural style somehow reminds me of resorts which is all about relaxing and this could explain my affinity towards it. These few sets of coordinate pick ups enjoy casualness with a mixture between sweetness & femininity, extremely lovely in my opinion.

Sweet & casual style fashion coordinate.

Casual and feminine type of coordination. Very ladylike style.

Cute and sweet coordination. Very relax style.

Stop that leering – Cleavage cover

This product has nothing to do with panty, in case you are wondering why on earth am I posting a thong panty on the blog.

Its another innovative product designed and created with women in mind. It became a big seller in Japan now for “womanly reason”.

Now you got the picture?
It is a cleavage cover meant to prevent “unwanted leerings”.
Some women highlighted their concerns over the accidental exposure of their cleavage due to certain movements or attires. And that’s it! Cleavage cover was born, by the words of the mouth.

And the funny thing is, nobody will ever guess that you are wearing a cover, shaped like a panty, because they look like stylish camisoles.

Cleavage Cover

And what’s more, they are easy to put on too. Just get them hook onto the bra. And its going to be effective to get rid of the so called “accidental glimpse of cleavage” ＼(*^▽^*)/
Oh… unless… you are the type who swears by braless …

Cool summer cleavage cover

So what is men’s reaction towards cleavage cover?
Majority of the net users were displeased. “Mind you! We can’t see cleavages any more!”

Looks like we can’t satisfy both parties. Your thoughts?
