Happie nuts 2 (POWER)TaiyotoshoNuts about nuts
I love gal/gyaru styles, streetwear and more mature looks, and EGG and (Happie) nuts both deliver on that. Between the two, I like the looks in both, but nuts definitely delivers a more mature energy overall. Not just sexier, but also with a bit more elegance or power at times. It was also pleasant seeing a model with muscle tone on her wearing a swimsuit. I love that, like EGG, nuts has great lifestyle features and also features mom's (with their children/babies). Both magazines also highlight more than just very pale/light models, and it's nice to see that trend still continue in gyaru looks since there can be some colorism even within gyaru communities. There's great dressed down, and dressed up coords, and some very striking, everyday or special occasion make-up looks. I don't know how seasonal nuts has been recently, but this felt like a great Summer going into Fall issue. The only downside is the lingerie in the back feels like a lot of the usual, lingerie I see everywhere. Same straps, same lace. Still very sexy though! I just hope they have better looks next time for that angle.

Bashodo: The Original Warabimochi (Japanese Sweet Mochi) Set of 3 Boxes Tanba Black Soybean, Matcha, CocoaAmazing!
This was amazing! I was glad to find this product on CDJapan, because it made it so much easier for me to buy and satisfy my cravings without having to go to Japan (since we aren't allowed to travel yet). It's easy buying on CDJapan, and safe, because the warabimochi are packed properly, and arrives safely to me. I used DHL (and delivers to Malaysia) so it only takes 3 working days to arrive. Will definitely buy again when I have the money :3

I have only tried the Black Syrup warabimochi but I can already say this is delicious. I know I like Matcha and cocoa flavours already, so doing my best not to eat all 5 boxes immediately! I forgot to try it when I was in Japan 2019, thank you CDJapan for making this product available for overseas!

Midori Asano Letter Set SwallowsHyogenshaElegant, beautiful, great quality!
I made an order with Hyogensha products for the most part, the letter sets were my absolute favourites. The paper is lovely and the way they were wrapped felt like there was a lot of love put into them besides the design, which is breathtaking <33 I highly recommend them! I feel bad using them because I love so much how they look like, wrapped up so beautifully,, but I am also very excited to pen-pal and exchange some beautiful letters with my friends <3

Hirose Beni Letter Set OSANPOHyogenshaSuper cute, simple, makes me happy!
I bought two sets of those, one with the Swallow drawings and one with the OSANPO (this one). They are minimalistic and beautiful <33 There is enough space to write a small letter, I could even write on top of the drawings without feeling like I'd ruin them. They are so well designed, I am so happy~!

Subikiawa Block Memo PenguinHyogenshaPenguins and blue, my two faves!
I like the color blue and penguins and this is right up my alley. Perfectly cute design and it's a nice thick block of sheets that should last a long while. Still have to use them. I find them too cute to actually do more than collect.

Subikiawa Letter Set PenguinHyogenshaSmall but cute
Japanese letter sets tend to be rather small but these sheets are too cute. They had them for a pretty good price too compared to other sites. I just love this artist and the blue penguin is adorable. Great set for small notes to friends or just to yourself and journaling.

KIMONO Hime 11 (Shodensha Mook)Shodenshagreat !
Kimono Hime is a superb publication somewhere between a fashion magazine (about kimono's) and a book. It's pleasant to handle and printed on good quality paper with a good rendering of colors. It features Kimonos with modern patterns, worn by young women, ranging from cute to hype, but always in good taste. Lots of full page pictures with an uncluttered layout are a treat to the eye. This issue also features haircut advices, how to's (wear your kimono, tie a obi). An added bonus at the end are full pages of kimono patterns seen in this isue which you may cut out to make envelops. If you don't speak japanese, there's only six pages of solid text, anything else is visual pleasure.
