Handmade Dragon Necklaces review!

Hey everyone! Today i want to show you these super-cute handmade dragon necklaces made by a friend of mine~!
 Both necklaces came on a 9 1/2 inch silver chain, and was made from polymer clay

For the first dragon, I chose the colors pink for the body and lavandar for the scales. This one came with a gray stone, which looked really mystical with the brighter colors!
 For the second dragon, I decided to go with white for the body and pink for the scales. I really loved the fact that she made this one sparkly, AND with a ranbow stone! This one is definitely magical-girl worthy
I feel like her designs for these little guys were absolutely adorable ;w; They are like cute little dragon noodles with fancy scales. The fact that they are each curled around their own little stone makes me think that these stones are very important to the little dragons (and will most likely give you magical powers). Plus, their eyes are little shiny beads, adding to the already extreme cuteness of them
Overall, I am so SO happy I bought these two dragon necklaces! They are well made and had a lot of hard work and thought put into designing and creating them. I honestly can't decide which is my favorite, or if I even have a favorite, since they go so well together!  Wearing these necklaces makes me feel like I have my own little baby dragon pet :D Not to mention the fact that their colors will go with just about every outfit I own (YAY)
 Thank you so much Emily for making me these, they are pretty much my two favorite necklaces now!

Thank you everyone for reading~!

Handmade Donut Squishies from SugarGalaxyStore!

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to share with you possibly the cutest squishies on earth made by SugarGalaxyStore! SugarGalaxyStore hand makes all the squishies they sell, and each one is unique! The squishies I decided to buy were donuts~
 
 My donuts arrived in a cute lavandar package <3 Sadly due to postal issues, it took a bit longer than expected to arrive, but sugarGalaxyStore was very helpful and quick to respond to the issue
beautiful, beautiful donuts
Here are the three donuts I ordered, plus I received an extra! A very fancy extra ;w; Each donut was individually wrapped with cute pink twist-tape
 
The first donut I bought was this adorable pink + rainbow stars donut! The "frosting" was very shiny, and it looks exaclty like a donut a magical girl would eat *0* perfect
 The second donut I ordered was this rainbow stars donut! This one had six different colors, plus TONS of cute rainbow stars! 10/10 would eat
 The last donut I ordered was a minit chocolate + pastel hearts keychain donut! I'm not sure if this counts as a "donut" since it's a slightly different shape, but either was it is simple too-cute! This one is much smaller than the others, and can be used as either a keychain or dust plug~
 The last item I received was actually an extra! I really love the fact that this extra was just as fancy as the other items! I abolutely love it :D
 
Plus, I'm not the only one who loved the donuts:
 A certain kitty cat decided to join in on the fun xD
 
 
~Thoughts~
 
I loved each and every donut/pastry I received, and I was so happy with the amount of cuteness put into them! All had a very soft and cake-like texture, and were very squishy! I'm also very glad that the decorations and icing on top didn't get in the way of the squishy-ness. Each one was very unique and detailed, and I feel like I got an amazing treat by ordering these! And, as I said, the extra squishy was equally as detailed as the ones I purchased, which is awesome. I would highly recommend SugarGalaxyStore for those of you who are looking for squishies that are above average in detail and cuteness, and want some high quality handmoade ones!
 
If you want your own magical-looking adorable donut squishies, go check out SugarGalaxyStore on etsy and instagram! 
 
Thank you for the adorable donuts SugarGalaxyStore, and thank you everyone for reading~!

Gudetama Crate from Okashda review!

Legend has it, that in 2016, a candy and merchandise crate would be released that would be filled with amazing Gudetama items for all Gudetama lovers to enjoy...
well my friends, that Gudetama crate does in fact exist, and I just received it TODAY!! The Gudetama crate, released by Okashda, contains some of the most sought-after  Gudetama candies and merchandise from Japan! Now, it is time to reveal the legendary egg crate~
The Gudetama crate came wrapped like a present, with an orange ribbon and cute "gift tags" attatched! This was probably the best-dressed subscription box I've ever gotten *0*

Inside, I was greeted by Gudetama-folder saying "dull" what did you call my you little punk
All I can say is, Okashda must have teamed up with Gudetama himself to make this crate, because I can't believe all the awsome Gudetama things I'm seeing! Time to dig in~

The first items I pulled out were the mini Gudetama egg chocolates! (I had to because they were small and adorable) Each chocolate was individually wrapped, almost similar to a jelly or pudding. They were made of white chocolate and were very smooth and yummy =w=
The next item in the crate was this Gudetama bath bomb with a little Gudetama prize inside! 
-one bath later-
 Inside the bath bomb (which smelled like oranges btw), was a gudetama "hidden egg" charm! If you pull up on the egg shell, it will reveal a little Gudetama inside, which was super cute. I have wanted a Gudetama bath bomb for a while, but the only ones I were able to find were waaaay overpriced, so I'm glad this was included!

The next item I received was a bag of Gudetama candies! 
 Each candy wrapper had a different picture of Gudetama on it! Each candy had a hard, orange-flavored coating and a chewy yogurt center! I have tried these candies once before, only I think those were yogurt flavored. Both flavors were very tangy and sweet~
(also, I thought I might add that I found a VERY SPECIAL Castella Gudetama on one of the wrappers, which match my plushies:
 beautiful)
 The next item in the crate was this cute little Gudetama hand towel! It was very soft, and had a stiff orange tag on the side (not sure if it was supposed to be removed, but it looked fancy so I kept it) I'm also a huge fan of small cute towels ;w;
The next candy I got was a bag of Gudetama chewy taffies!
Similar to the first bag, these candies also each had a different Gudetama on each wrapper! The red wrappers had lemon-flavored candies, and the yellow wrappers had ornge flavored ones. These were very soft and chewy, and tasted amazing 

The next item I got was a set of mini Gudetama envelopes!
 Each envelope was very small, and came with a strip of gudetama stickers. These are meant for very teeny letters xD
 
 The next item I received was a bag of Gudetama gummies! I have tried these once before, they are coated in a bit of sugar and taste like orange and lemon. The texture can be somewhat jelly-ish rather than gummy, but I always enjoy them because they are shaped like different Gudetamas~

Next was this cute little Gudetama note pad! Each page had a Gudetama image on it (the one on the front of the pad)
 
 The last Gudetama item I received was this Gudetama folder! Gudetama appears to be having a dull day on this one. I like how, in more character-themes crates, a character folder in included! 
PS: Simon decided to join us for the review, as usual
 
~Thoughts~
 
Overall, I thought this Gudetama crate was so much fun to open, and it had even more awesome Gudetama items in it than I expected! All the Gudetama items in this crate were items that I believe just about any Gudetama fan would go crazy for, especially the bath bomb and the gummies. Plus, many of the items included in this crate only sell individually and are overpriced, so I'm glad this crate included them all for a decent price. I was so happy that a subscription box finally decided to make a Gudetama crate, and I would totally recommend Okashda for any future crates!
 
Since this Okashda crate was a one-time crate, I think it's already sold out, but if you want to sign up for Okashda and any next character crates they will have, you can go here to subscribe!

 Thank you Okashda for the amazing Gudetama crate, and thank you everyone for reading!

Nekomura Squishies from BunnifulWishes!

 Hey everyone! Today I'm going to show you some adorable squishies I received from Bunnifulwishes on instagram! 

My package arrived very quickly :3
 Inside were all my kitties!! Each one came on a keychain and were individually wrapped. Plus, I got an extra!
 The extra I got was a cute little panda bun, which was extremely squishy and smelled amazing *0*
 The firt kitty I received was the orange tabby! This one came on a pink keychain, and had such cute paws ;w; I like this one a lot because it looks like my cat~
Next up was the gray tabby! This one came on a blue keychain, and I really like the contrast on this one. 
Update:I recently got a new kitten, and it looks exactly like this one, even down to the white paws omg. I wonder if any future cats I get will look like the rest of these squishies??
The next kitty I got was the calico kitty with a yellow/gold keychain! This one's pattern kind of looks like a checkerboard on top 
 The last kitties I received were these adorable twin kittens! (the faces were at a weird angle so it was hard to get a good pic) I love these little ones so much because they look so small and chubby and have tiny paws >u> They also came on a pretty pink keychain~


~Thoughts~

Overall, I was so excited to get these squishies because I had been looking for them for a long time ;w; They were in mint condition, and came wrapped in their original plastic (which I opened, of course). These squishies weren't the slow rising type, but they were very squishy and smooth. II was very happy with my order from Bunnifulwishes, and would recommend going to them for squishies!

Japan Crate November review!

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to share with you Japan Crate's November crate!I was super excited to hear that this one would be coming with a Funassyi snack :D
Every japan Crate arrived within three days of shipment, which is great because you will always know when it will arrive~
 such candy

This month, they included TONS of brightly-colored and fun looking stuff! So...let's dig in!
The fisrt item I pulled out was this month's bonus item: a blind box Naruto figure! I don't know this character's name but let's just call her "creepy purple eyes"

Next, we have the "Fluffy Long Neck Marshmallow," aka, a long marshmallow twist with a very long name. The colors on this marshmallow twist were very cute and pastel, and it was very delicious~

The next candy I received was cookies and cream Peejoy! These seem to be a popular candy with subcscription boxes, along with Pocky and Pretz. The cookie outer layer is chocolate, and inside is a very smooth cream filling =w= they sort of remind me of those cream-filled cereal straws from a while back



either way, these are probably my favorite Peejoy snack

The next snack I got was Hot Chili Salad Pretz! As I said, you are almost 100% guaranteed to receive a box of either Peejoy, Pocky, or Pretz, and this month I received both Peejoy and Pretz. By no means am I complaining, because Hot Chili Salad Pretz is a gift sent from the spicy and flavor gods.  It has a great balance of flavor, kick, and seasonings

The next snack I received were the Purple Sweet Potato Sticks. I'm not going to lie,  these weren't my favorite due to their smell and odd flavor. They had a slightly fruity taste mixed with the sweet potato which just wasn't my thing
The next candy I got were three Black Thunder chocolate bars! They are kind of like extreme Rice Krispy treats, with chocolate and cookie bits. I really liked these, they had a good texture and felt like an entire meal on it's own! And, unlike Rice Krispy treats, these were very heavy and filling

The next candy I received was the "Superstring Q," which could also double as the name of an erotic panty brand. This was like a very long ans thin gummy worm, and tasted about the same. It was very fun to eat ~


The next item I received was Glico Man Caramel & Toy, which contained two little boxes: one with a toy, one with candy!
The toy was a little wooden rocket, which came in three pieces, accompanied by chewy, heart-shaped caramels. I'm not sure if the rocket was supposed to be a sort of puzzle or not, but it was cute either way, plus the caramels were extremely good
 The next candy I got was Pachishuwa Grape soda Mix, which I decided to rename as "sugar Crack" since it looks like a funky new drug that all the kawaii-desu kids are doing. This candy was described as "exactly what grape soda would be like if you could eat it instead of drink it," although I think Welch's fruit snacks already claimed that market. It tasted like a mix of jelly beans, pop rocks, and dried sour-patch kid flakes, which made for a very sour and grape taste. It wasn't bad, it just looked and felt a bit odd. (come to think of it, it could also be called "grape amoebas")

The next snack I got was Uranai-kko Bubble gum! This gum came with a little kawaii rabbit on the package, and each stick of gum came with a fortune written on it, which I could not read. These gum sticks also reminded me of Undertaker's sotoba
just saying
The next candy I received were Meiji Diced Caramels! 
 (the boxes were super cute omg)
Each box contained one individually wrapped caramel. I really enjoyed these candies, even though you had to go through a bunch of layers to get to them xD Caramel was another big theme this month

The next item I received was another gum, called SPY vs SPY Sour Gum. This gum was indeed sour, so sour that I actually couldn't chew if for more than 10 seconds before spitting it out >3> Maybe I'm just weak, but this gum was VERY cour, inn a strong chemical way. I probably won't be saving the rest of it

Now....begins the true fun...
 I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Funassyi candy was, in fact, a DIY kit! 
The DIY kit came with a plastic Funassyi cup and straw, and a baggy of pear mix. 
The DIY kit also required milk and ice. Here were the instructions for making the drink:
1. Fill cup to line with milk
2. Add an ice cube and the powder
3. Put on lid
4. shake well until powder is dissolved

And the final result...

A pear-flavored Funassyi slushy! This little drink legitimately tasted like pear, and was actully pretty refreshing! I was very happy with this DIY kit

~Thoughts~

Overall, this crate probably had the most activity-based snacks out of all their other crates! There were lots of fun snacks that you could sort of "play" with, like the long gummy string, the little boxed caramels, the rocket toy, and of course, the DIY kit. I seriously enjoyed this month's Japan Crate, and hope they keep up with the super-fun snacks! As I have said in my past reviews, I will always recommend Japan Crate for a large variety of fun and unique snacks <3

Thank you Japan Crate for the awesome crate this month, and thank you everyone for reading!
