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~!

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

If you want to get your own Japan Crate, you can sign up here for one of three types of monthly subscriptions! 

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

Tokyo Otaku Mode Lucky Bag/New Year's haul! (#5)

(sign up here to get $5-$10 off your purchase!)

Hey everyone! Today I'll be reviewing my Tokyo Otaku Mode New Year's haul and Lucky bag purchase! PS: excuse the cat in the background, Simon decided to help me take photos for this review

Ever time I receive an order from TOm I say it's the biggest box ever, but this time...

 this time it really was the biggest box I have ever received from them.

And inside the biggest box ever, was the biggest canvas sack ever OAO

 The bag came with a pretty white ribbon and the TOM logo on the front~

 

TOM Lucky Bag B

 Here were all the plushies inside my lucky bag! This was a lot more than I expected, considering it was on a huge sale (only $33 omg) I will also be including the links to each item in the bag

white Namakemono plush ($21.99)

 The first plush was this big Namakemono sloth plush! I think it's face is soooo adorable, and my mom has had her eye on this plush for months! (she is a sloth fanatic) It's fur was super soft and the little leaf in it's "hair" made this plush even more lovable ;w;

big Fuwan-Fuwan ram plushy ($21.99)

 I really feel like I got a great deal with this lucky bag because not one, but TWO large plushies were included! The second large plush I received was this large Wooly ram plush, also from Amuse! I have always seen this little guy on online shops but for some reason I never paid much attention to it, but I feel like a fool now because she is so cute with little pink cheeks and bows <3 I appologize for never noticing you, Wooly.

Coroham plushy set ($35.45)

The next plushies I received were a full set of Corohams! (I believe this series is called "Coron no Daishukaku") I have never seen any of these before, so I'm guessing they're new!

I love all of them, but I think my favorites are the "Hamtaro" colored one and the purple one

Namakemono Mikke medium plush ($9.99)

 The next plush I received was the smaller version of the white sloth I received! A mom and a baby ;u;

A Basket Full of Lemons Rilakkuma plushies ($17.99 each)

 The last plushies from the lucky bag were another complete set, this time they were "A Basket Full of Lemons" Rilakkuma characters! I love their little hats especially, since they are actually made of straw ^0^ 

That was all I received in the Lucky Bag, and I think for $33 that was an AMAZING deal. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep every plush I got, but I thought they were all super adorable. 

Now it's time for the rest of my order, aka the items I chose myself~

 

Marude Pan slippers ($16.99)

The first item I ordered were these delicious looking....house slippers xD They are designed to look exactly like a loaf of French bread, and in my opinion they are pretty convincing!

like a bread

 I have to say that I think these slippers are one of the most clever and funny items on TOM's site. Even the inside of the slippers look like bread! These were probably my favorite purhcase in this order

 

Chuken Mochi Shiba coin purse ($10.99)

 The next item I bought was this Mochi Shiba coin purse! The shiba on this coin purse is named Okaka

 Inside, the coin purse had a shiny blue lining which was very pretty~

Kuru Kuru petit towels ($4.49 each)

The next items I got were two Kuro Kuro petit animal towels, named Raby and Lemon! (Every time I buy little towels like these I can never fold them back to their original shape >3>)

Here they are unfolded, they sort of...remind me of something...

Galaxxxy Gala-han keychain ($5.59)

Next, I got this adorable two-sided Gala-chan dinosaur keychain from Galaxxy brand! I love Galaxxxy's clothing but I don't have the will to pay a heaping amount of money for their clothing. Therefore, their little dinoasaur keychain was the next best thing~

Oh! Sushi ball chain keychain ($3.09)

 The next item I bought was this sushi keychain! It was a random pick, so I couldn't chose which one I got. Somebody else enjoyed it equally as much as I did

Nyanko pouncing kitten plush ($9.99)

The next item I got was this super-cute Nyanko pouncing kitten plush! I originally bought this plush thinking it might have been related to the old Nyanko Burger kitty plushes from early 2000's

  but it turns out it's not. It may be based off the original Nyanko plushies, though, since it has a nearly-identical design! The paws on this plush are also close-able, meaning that you can attatch this kitty to a bag handle and it will hold on!

Kaomoji coin pouch ($3.35)

 The next item I received was this Kaomoji coin pouch! I thought this little dude's face was too cute, and so I had to get it. The smooth silicone texture to this is also very nice =w=

Cardcaptor Sakura compact mirror ($10.00)

 The next item I bought was this CardCaptor Sakura compact mirror! This mirror looked so cute and girly that I had to get it ;w;

It's a bit hard to tell from the photos, but this mirror had a lot of detailed designs carved into it, making it very fancy and pretty~

Neko Atsume rubber clip ($4.29)

 Last but not least, I got this Neko Atsume rubber clip!

While I don't play Neko Atsume yet, I am a big fan of it's many cats. I thought bus cat seemed like a good choice~

*beep beep*

 

~my thoughts~

 

Overall, I was 100% happy with everything I received, not to mention amazed by how much of a great deal the lucky bag was! I think my favorite item in this entire haul was the bread slippers. Beacause...bread. I would recommend the lucky bag especially to anyone just getting into plushy collecting or who doesn't have any Amuse plushies yet, and is hoping to get some! And for just anyone who wants a gigantic bag of cute plushies.

 

*NOTE: I recently saw on tumblr that somebody bought multiple lucky bags, and received the exact same plushies in each bag. I would encourage those interested in lucky bags to simply buy one large lucky bag instead of multiple smaller ones, since apparently the bags aren't entirely random. 

 

All items in this review can be bought at Tokyo Otaku Mode, PLUS, you can sign up here to get $5-$10 off your entire order!  

 

Thank you everyone for reading, and I hope you all have a great 2016!
