			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Insomniacs longing for a good night&#8217;s rest might be glad that &#8220;Hug &#038; Dream Minnie Mouse&#8221;, a soft toy will start selling on the market from November. Unlike ordinary toys, this one has the effect to comfort and soothes one to sleep.</p>
<p>And what has Minnie mouse got to do with a good night&#8217;s sleep (@^o^@)</p>
<p>&#8220;Hug &#038; Dream Minnie Mouse&#8221;, is a collaboration work between Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy and cognitive &#038; respiratory specialist from Showa University School of Medicine. Minnie is fitted with a mechanism mimicking the breathing pattern of human. She &#8220;breathes in&#8221; once every 5 seconds. While hugging her, the rhythm breathing is expected to calm and soothes and naturally induces one to sleep.</p>
<p>She came with a melody option where you can turn it on if you find that having the music is more relaxed. 
<br />And it even came with an auto sleep function in which breathing motion is automatically switched off after certain time.</p>
<p>For those who had a hard time getting into sleep, &#8220;Hug &#038; dream minnie mouse&#8221; could help perhaps (－z－)……..ｚｚｚ</p>
<p>Price:5,229yen</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;t say the same for summer seasons.</p>
<p>You know how it feels when you wake up every morning, sticky and soak in sweat? <br />Each summer, I swear by Biore&#8217;s &#8220;sara sara powder sheet&#8221; 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&#8217;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. <br />Nobody knows that I don&#8217;t shower in the morning b(^_-)b</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t know what&#8217;s the secret behind each sheet, but definitely &#8220;sara sara powder sheet&#8221; is another great product that I would strongly recommend.</p>
<p>And, wow! I didn&#8217;t realize there are as many as seven types available (@o@)!! 
<br />Those containing mild, pleasant scent are the only ones that I had tried before. <br />More types might show up again, next year, perhaps.</p>
