Glico Box from Shoshbox!! review

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be showing you a very special candy box from Skoshbox- the GLICO BOX. Aka the 'Pocky" box, this one-time candy box is filled with nothing but pocky and Glico candy items! Which is basically what I imagine heaven is 

My Skoshbox arrived in a red patterned box, similar to many candy crates, only it looked a lot more festive ~
When I opened the box, I was greeted with a cute little origami crane sticker (the origami crane is Skoshbox's symbol!)
 look at that
 Here is everything that came in the Glico box, plus a Pickahu tail keychain! ( I paid an extra $2 for a gift to be added. WORTH IT)
The first item I received was green tea Pejoy!
 
Pejoy is kind of a hybrid of Pocky and those cereal straws that were really popular about five years ago 
remember these kids?
Basically, they are straw-shaped with a green tea cream filling and a pocky-like biscuit coating, and are extremely good
  The next candy I receivedwas the cookies and creme Pejoy!
The cookies and cream Pejoy have a chocolate cookie coating instead of a biscuit coating. I honestly can't decide which one I like more (;´д`)

The next item I received was Pocky, but not just any Pocky...it was ultra slim Pocky *o*
This Pocky was maybe half the width of regular Pocky, but tasted exactly the same =w= delicious

The next candy was Demitasse Pocky, which is another word for FANCY  CHOCOLATE POCKY
These were short, stubby Pocky with a chocolate biscuit coated in more chocolate! It's a chocolate-lovers Pocky for sure

The next candy I got was Almond Peak! I've never heard of it before now, but it's pretty much chocolate covered almonts with a hint of salt. Usually I don't like almonds in chocolate, but the almonds didn't overpower the chocolate here, so these are a win!
 Next, we have a very nicely-packed candy called Caplicocot! At first I thought these were supposed to be put in your coffee because I saw the little coffee cup in the corner (TωT) I'm sure you could, but I'm  not sure how it would taste. These little hearts came in a decorative little plastic container, and were like chocolate mousse mixed with coffee! They were light and very yummy~

The next snack I got were two packs of these little coffee flavoredBisco cookies! The child on the wrapper appears very happy, probably because these little cookies were delicious (●♡∀♡)they were buttery and had a cream filling. They also smelled amazing

The last edible item in my Glico box was one of my favorite Japanese snacks in existance- Hot Chili Salad Pretz. These little cracker sticks are packed with flavor, and have a slightly-spicy seasoning! They are very good, but be prepared to get Pretz dust all over your clothing (you can just lick yourelf clean)

The first Pocky collectable item I received was this pair of strawberry Pocky chopsticks! They really do look like Pocky, and they're pink, which is my favorite color (´∀`)♡

The last Pocky-related item I received was this adorable mini Pocky pen! It is probably the cutest item in the box~
 Last but not least, the plush Pikachu keychain! This item was a bonus item that cost $2 to add into your crate, and it was also a mystery as to what it would be! I really love this keychain because it's so soft u w u
Overall, I had so much fun tasting all of the snacks in this box! I didn't even know Glico had such a large variety of snacks, so I would also consider this a SNACK LEARNING JOURNEY *o* I especially loved the fact that it wasn't just candy, but also collectables like the chopsticks and pen! This was for sure one of my favorite surprise candy box experiences so far, and I can't wait what else Skoshbox will offer in the future!
You can sign up to get your own Skoshbox here, with subscription plans as low as $10! You can also check out their social media accounts on instagram, twitter, and facebook!  
Thank you Skoshbox for the awesome Pocky crate, and thank you everyone for reading!

Squishies from Kays Squishy Shop! review

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you another cute squishy package I got from Kay's Squishy Shop on instagram! Kay's Squishy Shop sells many rare and hard to find squishies, which are all authentic and defect-free ( ´ ▽ ` )
(you can check out my first review for her shop here!) 
 Just like my first order from Kay's, my package arrived within one week and had cute address labels :3
 Inside the package was my order, plus an extra and a note!
 The note reads: "Thank you for your purchase again~ I have an awesome time chatting wuth you. Please give these squishies a sweet home! -Kaylee" Aww ;w; That's so sweet(´∀`)♡ Not to worry, THESE SQUISHIES WILL BE LOVED

The extra was a little Collon cookie >u> and it was Halloween themed! It was very yummy~ 
 My squishies came wrapped in adorable flower plastic wrapping(❁´▽`❁)

Ahhh they look good enough to eat *0* Each squishy came individually wrapped in their original packaging~
 The first squishy I bought was this Aoyama green cake roll! In fact, this one was actually saved just because she thought I would like it ;w; WHICH I DO♥
Remember how I said this looks good enough to eat? Well, there's a warning on the back warning you not to eat it, just in case someone hasn't realized this isn't real food by now xD
 The roll came on a keychain, and was very VERY spongy and slow rising! Just like the texture of a real sponge cake. The shading was very nice and the color was very bright, and overall it was very realistic (´∀`)♡ Plus, it smelled great!
 The next squishy I bought was this green Breadou swiss roll (if you've read my first review of Kay's shop, you'll remember that Breadou is the guy who quit making real food for fake food. True story)
 I actually decided to get this squishy because it matched the green Aoyama cake >w< I really like the way green looks on cake squishies. Also, I really loved the first swiss roll I bought! 
I decided to open this squishy because it's just way too fun to squish. It has a light, airy texture, also similar to a real sponge cake, and is very soft and squishy (´▽`ʃƪ)♡
And last but not least, the chocolate Breadou cake roll! 
Ha, ha, I guess you could say I was on a roll when buying these squishies (don't kill me)
I think this one looks the most delicioud out of all three squishies I bought, it looks so...so chocolatey...so fattening *w* delicious. Like the green swiss roll, this one was also very soft and airy, you can even see the little holes in it from how soft it is! 
(also for some reason this one felt a little bit heavier than the green one, which is odd)

them rolls tho
☆~Ratings~☆
quality:♥♥♥♥♥
All three squishies were in perfect condition with no defects, and came with their original packaging! (which I tore open of course) These squishies were also on the harder-to-find end, so I'm glad I got them when I did!
shipping:♥♥♥♥♥
Shipping cost $4 and it arrived within one week! Everything was packaged nicely, and the package came with cute little address labels~
cost:♥♥♥♥♥
 The total cost of the squishies plus shipping came to $28, which I think was reasonable for what I received!
overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall I would give Kay's Squishy Shop five stars! The squishies I received were in mint condition, shipping was cheap and fast, and her customer service is great! She keeps me updated as soon as she receives payment, ships an item, and receives a tracking number! Also, she even took a video through instagram to show my the squishies I would be receiving(人´∀`*) Plus, I got a sweet note and a yummy extra!
A+++ customer service and squishies. I would recommend Kay's Squishy Shop to anyone looking for harder to find or normally more expensive squishies who want a good deal and good customer service!
 
Check out the video review of all of these squishies here! (it's combined with the first order I received from her)

Thank you for the loveloy squishies, and thank you everyone for reading!
