Kawaii Food

You know what is so Kawaii in a food kind of way. Korean food, so many cute goodies, snacks and drinks.

You know what other food type thing is so Kawaii? Bubble milk tea-Boba--

Kawaii--those frozen yogurt places like pinkberry where you can add your own yummy cute toppings, like popping juice boba, mini mochi, mini gummi bears, fruit, etc. they sell by the ounce. I usually go slim on the froyo (not a big ice cream cold stuff fan) and mound up on the toppings.

This is my latest haul from the Korean food market . Now there are some savory staples. Not too many snacks this time.

Some of my fave snacks are Kikiriki , little chicken leg shaped, chicken flavored crunchy snacks.

KuraeBap-little whale shaped fish flavored crunchy snacks!

Banana kick-cheesie shaped, but banana flavored crunchy sweet snacks

Korean pear juice packets- they are all the rage on some really cool Korean drama shows. Lots of good nutrients too.

Now this juice Lotte Peach water drink. Saw this recently on a Korean drama and have been dying to try-got to pick some up at the K Market today-they r so yummylicious!!

What's In Your Purse

I Love the What's In Your Purse Game!!!!

I really take pride in my purse contents, too. Now I have been a Coach fiend in the past (ONLY RETAIL COACH--THOSE COACH FACTORY ARE JUNK...unless you get in the small retail section that most Coach Factory stores have) , but now I am moving on to Balenciaga, have not gotten my first yet, but its in the cards for my future!! I still have like 3 Coach's in waiting that I haven't even used yet!

      When I get a new purse, it is like a ritual. I would never buy fake leather, side note. Only Canvas, Fabric or Genuine Leather.  So this purse here the Coach Kristin Elevated Satchel in Mauve  I had for months before I used it. Busy collecting all my in-purse goodies. 
So my ritual is, for every new purse, I must have new wallet, new inside purse, new purse sized spray, new lip gloss, new inside small bag for emergency candy for my kids, new inside makeup case, new cute Sanrio or other Kawaii brand notebook and pen set, new small change purse, new credit/ID card holder, new cute folding brush, I think that is about it. Oh yeah and the almighty, Wallet Chain. 
OMG, My first Coach ever was a little Navy and white leather backpack and with it I got an awesome gunmetal shiny-ish grey wallet with purple liner. Well this wallet came with a little chain on the hook, to clip to little ring on zipper pull on inner pocket of purse. It is the best thing ever!!! When you pull your wallet out of your purse, you never forget it, because it is attached to your purse!! These are so great in fact for this purse, I had a wallet chain specially crafted by an awesome family who sells chainmaille stuff on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/unkamengifts . Promo, woop! Item Customization!!
       So the purse finally complete with all its accessories is now being used. Also having awesome purse contents is a great way to kill boredom if you are ever stuck in a line waiting or something. Well, now I have my cell that keeps me busy with my apps or googling stuff while I am waiting for stuff, but you know what I mean.

So, these wallets were to be the Pièce de résistance of my latest purse set, but after using the Coach Willis in Natural Vachetta Leather exclusively last spring and summer, I am so paranoid of using my Vachetta wallets, because I totally inked up my Willis by accidentally writing on them. Duh, click your pen closed!! So sad for my Vachetta Willis and these butes that'll probably never be used. And those were my 2 choices for notebook and pen set. I went with the Charmy Kitty light pastel set on the Left

This is the beautiful chain that I had crafted by Unkamen Gifts on Etsy. A real investment in itself, 14 K Gold and Argentium Sterling Silver and that tiny lobster clasp. How adorable is that!!! So my justification for the priciness was, if I ever go broke, I can go sell it to Cash for Gold!!

Obsessive Compulsive Skin Care Junkie

SO, this is my Intro post y'all. No, really I am not southern. 
     OK, so I pretty much get obsessed with every new thing that I am into. I take it to the extreme, for each of my new ventures, I go crazy buying the supplies, make a couple things, then move onto my next quest. Some prior things I that I obsessed on were knitting, sewing, crochet, learn Spanish , learn Korean, learn Japanese, Natural Food Cooking, Juicing, the list goes on. 
     But my long standing obsession is shopping. Ever since I was a little kid, I was an obsessive compulsive shopper. Now, some may think this is an issue, and for me I know its totally psychological, cause I'm pretty crazy really, but this is a relatively socially acceptable addiction. C'mon our whole culture in the US is materialism  Although I am a juxtaposition in myself, because  I am pretty existential as well. I just try to ignore as much as possible to keep me from thinking so much. 
     So, shopping has proved my only addiction that is legal and doesn't hurt my body. And the item that has been my long-standing shopping obsession is SKINCARE!!!!

This skin and body care addiction really blossomed after and while working at Bath & Body Works for a few years. My specialty was exfoliation! I was a BOSS(in exfoliation sales, jejeje). I could sell Exfoliating Scrubs to anyone. Sink demoing the powers of exfoliation was my technique. So it kinda started there and  what I have to show for it is a bunch of Rubbermaid containers full of lotions, creams, scrubs , sprays, travel sizes and a big creamy exfoliated monkey of an obsession on my back! BBW is still my place to go for scented body lotions, sprays, shower gels, home fragrance. My skincare spot has been Sephora for a few years now. I LOVE GOOD COSMETICS. Well, I do not really wear much makeup. I am addicted to lip gloss, chap stick, lip liner. SO, really I LOVE QUALITY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS.

I am kind of moving on from Sephora, well not really cause Ole Henriksen is the best washing, moisturizing routine I have tried, but for Lip Glosses, Creams, Scrubs I am soooooo into KOREAN skincare, like Holika Holika, Tonymoly, Liole, Baviphat, Etude House, Skinfood, etc. 

And all this stems from my obsession of CUTENESS *^~^* Kawaii, y'all. (just being dorky, sorry) HAVE you seen the packaging on these things? Irresistible!!!  So I have loved Sanrio forever, mostly during my adult years, though. I may be stunted, stuck in childhood, my parents were divorced when I was like 3. And then I went through a period of voluntary absence from my mind, if you know what I mean from about 15-23. SO even though I am super mature, I must still yearn for a childhood and maybe that manifests in my love for all things cute and princessy, which as a matter of fact I rejected through all my childhood, was more of a tomboy. Gosh I am just so complex and contrary. I am into super girly things , but I have a lot of mentality traits of strong macho male. jeje. Whoa, major diversion there. Back to Sanrio.

Sanrio........ well I have kind of lost my mojo after going into that monologue, so I guess that'll be it for my first post, y'all. Ew thats annoying, but that's what keeps coming into my head. Oh well. Thank  god for the internet's way of making you lose your intuition and self respect at times, for that matter.

What this blog will be will consist of my diversion from subject (THAT'S A GIVEN with me), makeup(what little I use, I love) reviews, Pics and details of things I buy, Skin care Reviews, PIcs of my loads of Obsession Induced Buying Sprees. Although I am not that bad, my credits pretty much paid off except that stuff I bought this week. 

OH and some of what I bought this week was super kawaii candy nostalgia, Chupa Chups Whistle Pops and Creamy Choco/Vanilla Lollipops. 

I am hungry(Another Obsession...Food) Here's just a tad bit of my body care arsenal, many of which items are discontinued, so I use them sparingly, Good thing BBW stuff never loses its scent!!
