Momiji Doll - BFF BUDDY

Hey everyone! Shelby here and today I'm going to show you a Momiji doll I got for Xmas. I had seen these at Mitsuwa's Bookstore, and thought they were adorable! Momiji are Messagle dolls, but also a collecters item. There is the classic collection, which my Panda Girl is from, Animal Collection, and much much more!

This is what the doll looks like, about 6 inches tall. Mine is purple, with a purple Panda Suit and Purple shaded hair. She has not to detailed Manga eyes, but the Kawaii Simplistic face look suits her.

Now, my FAVORITE PART! With a certian dark purple outfit, this pop of bright color is just perfection. Her pack is a bright yellow, with white clips and a beautiful rainbow strap. This particular Doll takes on the Japanese Street Style look, with bright, fluffy outfits and dyed hair. Keep in mind this is a panda suit, not a panda doll...

Now to the Message Doll part. On the base of the doll, there is a slit with a note in it. You write whatever, a dream, a wish, put it by your bedside and it will come true! Momiji can also be used to Pass Notes, like you say "Jennifer, You are my best friend. Thanks for being there for me!" Then you give it to Jennifer, so on so on.

This is my wish, to get gold at my next few BJJ tournaments.

I can't think of ANYTHING wrong with this doll, besides the fact that the slit at the bottom to hold your note is very deep. I had to use tweezers to take the note out, which was a real hassle. I suggest putting a layer of glaze or such in the bottom, letting it dry, then the note will have less room to sink to the bottom.

See you next time with a Sushi Game...

Candy Kawaii Set - WARING: may faint of cuteness

Hey everyone! Shelby here and today we will be talking about this "Candy" Kawaii Sticker and Card kit I got a while back from Mitsuwa Japanese Market (next to the Checkout stands)

These are the two Packages, with are decked out with sparkles, colors, and big eyes.

 First, let's review the Pink packet.

 The first thing is gum..Just gum.

 Now, when I opened up the packet I found this little Guide to all of the "characters"

 But, when I saw this, I just had a fit of cuteness!!! PASSPORTS WITH ADORABLE CREATURES ON THEM! On top is a little mushroom girl, and on the bottom is her little Pet Poode! Decorated with stripes, and rainbow backrounds, these are adorable. I can't read Japanese, but the script is cute aswell. On the side, there is three holes, to put into a binder.

 And, lastly, the stickers!! Not only could you decorate anything with these, the little Angl wings and stuff are going to be put on the Character's bodies, as clothes and dress-up!

 I give these Packets 10/10 rating, it being a perfect, quaint little Kawaii packet, and only 100 yen.


Here's some photos from the Blue Packet :)

Hope you enjoyed!

See you next time,

Felt Balls ~ Fotae Fotae (how to)

Hey everyone! Shelby here and today I will be telling you about Fotae Fotae. What is it, you ask? Well, it's a pink Shaker that forms Felt Balls. These are BEFORE the Fotae Fotae, which we will learn to make now.

To make them, you need some Roving. Now, take a VERY whispy, little, piece and lay it down. Continue with Multi colored roving, around the same size. PLEASE doNOT put one in the same direction of the other. It should turn out looking like a star.

Stop when you have about 6-8 layers. Now, what's different from THIS tutorial is that, you don't waste tons of roving! For this tutorial, you need a Pom Pom. You can get them at Micheals, Joanne's, and every other hobby/craft store. Now, use sparkly pom-poms and LESS roving to show a little sparkle once the Ball is finished, or use more to not show any. I will show sparkle for this tutorial!

Once the Pom Pom is placed in the middle of your "Roving Star" bring the sides up and over, tucking them into eachother.

If you don't fell like it will stay, feel free to add a long piece of roving and wrap it around your whole ball to secure it.

Were almost done! Now, to put it in the Fotae Fotae. This is it! (I will add another post showing where to buy the Fotae Fotae soon)

Simply place the ball in one of the Fotae Fotae Coulunms.

Please note to get one small bowl, and one larger one. Put cold water in the Smaller one, and Hot water in the Larger one. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PUT DAWN OR OTHER DISHSOAP IN THE HOT WATER BOWL.

After all the preparations, dunk the one side in the HOT WATER and take it out. Now, clip it with the other Fotae Fotae.

Now, take it...and SHAKE IT! SHake it 15-20 times, out of the water. Now, dunk it in again--Rinse and Repeat!

Now, after shaking it out of the water, proceed to the cold water bowl.

Now, 2nd time through, shake the Fotae Fotae, but INSIDE the hot water. Do the same out, in, and out!

Check to see if you are done. if it looks like a formed felt ball, remove it from the Fotae Fotae and dip it alone in the cold water bowl. Squeeze to get the water out, and your done!

It takes overnight to dry, so be careful.

You can use them for pom-poms, felt birds, flowers, and anything else you can imagine! I hope you enjoyed this Tutorial, and I hope everyone has a happy new year!

EOS Unboxing 5 Pack!

Hi everyone!! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I will be posting reviews on what I got for Christmas very soon!

Today we are going to talk about EOS. If you don't know what it is, it is Lip Balm in sphere shape, and when you twist off the cap it is in a dome shape. There are many flavors and they are all color coordinated to what that flavor is.  EOS is pronounced E (as a letter) O (as a letter) S (as a letter) or, eeh-oh-es . EOS stands for Evolution Of Smooth. This brand has created hand lotion, shaving cream, and what is it most known for is these lip balms. 

 Today I will be reviewing the 5 pack I bought a Costco. It was a whopping 11 dollars plus tax. At other places it is up to 40 dollars. As always, go to Costco for the best deal.

 These are the Balms in comes with. Passion Fruit, Strawberry Sorbet, Sweet Mint, Summer Fruit, and Honeysuckle Honeydew. The Purple Passion Fruit is Limited edition, and is only found it 2 MultiPacks. *That of I know of* This one and a Limited Edition pack with Passion Fruit and Strawberry Sorbet. Since I now have both, you could say I have 2 MultiPacks. (I guess...)

 The first EOS I will be discussing is the Sweet Mint. I personally hate mint, but I know all of you must. So, the smell is VERY strong. It also has a hint of chocolate. I didn't even open it up and it had a strong aroma. When you put it on it is tingly, and very cool. If you like Mint Gum you'll love this stuff. I give it 2.5/5 because I hate mint, but the color is very cool and pretty. It reminds me of Icicles.

Now I will be talking about Strawberry Sorbet. The title says it all! I am not an Artificial Strawberry Flavor lover, but this stuff got me hooked! The pink color is so much like pastel I can't handle it! It smells like a field of strawberries, and even though all the ingredients in EOS are 100% natural and 95% organic, it's not artificial. It just slightly smells like that. Talking more about the natural, that's why everyone loves it. There is Shea butter and Jojoba Oil, and it's all natural. Plus EOS doesn't test on animals, so it's great for every Animal Testing Boycotting needs. Overall, I give this particular one 3/5, because the smell is a bit tacky but everything else is great.

 Now I will be talking about Honeysuckle Honeydew. I was very happy when I found out I was getting this flavor, because I've been wanting it for a while. I have to say it's nothing like Honeysuckle.It should be called Cucumber Crisp. It doesn't smell like cucumber but the aroma of the Honeydew has the illusion it does. Speaking of that, this REALLY smells like honeydew! It actually smells like I went to a farm, picked a Honeydew Fruit, and am eating it. It is so real it has to bump up my overall score 2 higher! Now, the color is a little off. it is light but not Pastel, and has a hint of dark. it is iffy, but pretty. in the picture below it looks lime, but that's just what the camera did to it. I give this a 4.5/5 score.

 Our next Lip Balm is Summer Fruit. I LOVE this. After reading all the reviews I thought it wouldn't be the best, but I'm soooo glad I have it. Not only is it a nice, light, watermelon-y shade of red, the smell is up-right amazing! it is Peach and (perhaps) Apricots mixed, and it's great. It's the perfect combo and it's not too strong, but not too faint. This smell is one of the best I've seen from EOS, so I'm giving this one a 5/5!

Our last Lip Balm is the Passion Fruit. It is Limited Edition and is sold on it's on for a bit over 8 dollars average! I'm so happy I have it!! I can't even DESCRIBE this flavor. It's almost like a bit of the strawberry, but also Mulberry. Well, no Passion Fruit at all but it's an amazing scent. I love the color, it is like lavender. I give this 5/5!

 These are my favorite to least favorite; Favorite: Summer Fruit 2nd Favorite: Passion fruit 3rd favorite: Honeysuckle Honeydew 4th favorite: Strawberry Sorbet 5th favorite: Sweet Mint

 I hope you enjoyed this review. overall I give this 5 pack a 4/5 rating. the packaging is cute and it is true value. Make sure to get it at Costco for the best deal!

Everyone, happy holidays. I hope you are enjoying them! Stay tuned for Cute Stockings and a TON more! I have a lot planned for the next year, and I hope you can stay tuned.
