Baiyoke Sky


I'm just a little creature...






Baiyoke Sky Tower is famous hotel for tourists in Thailand. It's the tallest structure in Bangkok and their top floors offer a really awesome view of the city. It also has a revolving observation deck at the top of the building which is really nauseating to visit after eating so I suggest to visit it first. Various kinds of dishes were served at their buffet. They have the usual Japanese, such as miso soup, sushi and sashimi too. But of course my favourite was their choices for desserts! I loved their tiramisu.

My relatives from Bangkok invited me for dinner before I go back to Japan the next morning. I'm really grateful for having them! I hope my whole family can visit them again soon...

Blue Velvet

I haven't acquired anything in blue velvet but I really want to! Anything velvet, even red velvet cake from Starbucks is good.

Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder.


◆Etude House◆ Moistfull Collagen Skin Care Kit
[Application Order] First Essence → Facial Freshener → Essence → Eye Cream → Emulsion → Cream

Here's a haul of ◆Etude House◆ products from our recent trip to Seoul. (To refresh you about it: Click here.) To be honest I didn't really purchase this kit, I just found it inside our W77,000 shopping bag. Until now, I'm not sure if we have been deceived or this was given as a freebie. I don't really mind! These products worked wonders for my skin this winter! I have a combination type of skin during summer and now, it's dry due to the cold weather. Collagen had been recommended by every Korean I asked about beauty product but I never really believed until I finally tried.

So, I felt like it's my obligation to update my previous skin care post which was asked by a reader. For winter, I would totally recommend ◆Etude House◆ Moistfull Collagen Skin Care Kit. Proactiv and Clinique both gave me breakouts before clearing up my skin but this kit, don't. I would definitely stick to it for now and pile up for next winter! Just kidding! I actually bought a bottle of Facial Freshener before I left Seoul. It makes my skin baby soft but it doesn't remove acne marks... arg!



I cannot tell any information about ◆Etude House◆ MISSING U Hand Cream yet because it was just given to me earlier by Asami. So let's just focus about Precious Mineral BB cream and Nymph Aura volumer but all I want to say is I love it! Once I started using it, I felt like I would never leave my house without it on again. I run out of Nivea sunscreen and this BB cream has SPF30. It would be the best choice to use it before going out definitely.


Revlon ColorStay was also given to me by my aunt that I just met from my last trip to Bangkok! I
complimented her good complexion and she recommended me this. I tried applying Maquillage by Shiseido primer underneath it this morning but they didn't mixed well. It's only SPF 6 so I prefer using ◆Etude House◆ BB cream first. Nevertheless, this product give me good coverage from day to night. 





Lime Crime sent me three of their Carousel Lip Glosses. My favorite is the Candy Apple! I used it today, too. See photo below! I love glitters on my lips not on my hands! I'm really strange... For me it's better to apply Lime Crime Retrofuturist underneath, then Candy Apple. 
Upper Left: "Just woke up" face. I actually prefer looking like this most of the time. Or, that's just an excuse for being a slacker. Upper Right: Outfit post from long time ago. I was also wearing Lime Crime Retrofuturist. Lower Left: A closer outfit shot. Lower right: Lime Crime Candy Apple Carousel Lip Gloss + Retrofuturist Lipstick underneath. #fotd

Chai Latte



Photos by: Gabs Anderson

One afternoon, my friend Gabs and I met up. We ate ramen and went to this lovely book cafe in Himeji. They serve tea, chai and coffee too. I ordered Chai Latte! It tastes good! My days are pretty much like that, friends, food and teas.

Gabs also took this photo. She’s an amazing photographer. Visit her blog!
