Halloween treats from Foodesu! (part 1)

Hey everyone! Today I want to share with you some 2spooky treats I received from FoodesuBoxco! 
Since I didn't order a September box fast enough, I decided to order two samplers to feed my candy fix. This will be part one of my Halloween FoodesuBoxco review~
 My samplers arrived very quickly in a medium sized envelope
 LOOK AT ALL THAT SPOOKY GOODNESS *o*
I'm not sure which sampler had which items because they were packaged together, but either way it was a GLORIOUS SIGHT 

First off, check out this adorable skull coffin I received in the Halloween sampler :w:
  I love that it looks handmade, and the gold and black goes really well together! And the best part is....
 IT CAN HOLD UT'S (☆▽☆) Also since it's a coffin, it's perfect for this exact purpose :w:
(disclaimer: Undertakers not included) 

 The first treat I received in my sampler was this cool looking little green cake!
The cake was like...so perfectly shaped xD Inside it was green, and it tasted REALLY good *3* It was also very light and moist, especially for a packaged dessert. 10/10 would eat like twenty of these

The next items I received were more cakes! (*・▽・*) 
 These two were banana flavored cakes, and like the first one, were very fluffy and moist( ̄▽ ̄) These cakes had a thin layer of banana cream filling inside with some sugar on the outside. DELISH


The next goodies I got were inside a spooky eyeball bag xD Kind of reminds me of Junji Ito
Inside were a pack of strawberry pocky and two crackers!
The crackers had sort of an oriental cracker taste (you know those little spicy/crunchy crackers that are called "Oriental Mix" that you find at 7-11) They were very tasty -w-
 And the strawberry pocky tasted like, well, strawberry pocky xD 
 Next up, I received a little baggy of Hello Kitty crackers!
 These were like butter crackers, and were also very yummy( ゚▽゚)
  The next candy I got was this Halloweeny lollipop!
If I remember correctly, it had a caramel taste!
 Next, I received some ginger candies and Hello Kitty candies! They kind of look like smarties, but taste like soda candy xD 
 And, last but not least, I received this cute little pumpkin badge!
 On the back of the paper was a note reminding me to enter the monthly FoodesuBoxCo giveaway! (which I did!) Also, I ended up wearing the badge to work, which a lot of people loved  (‐^▽^‐)
☆~Ratings~☆
quality:♥♥♥♥♥
I absolutely LOVED the samplers for this month! Not only did I get spooky candies and CAKE, but I also received a mini coffin and a badge! I really love when candy places send out non-edible goodies along with edible ones~
shipping:♥♥♥♥♥ 
The samplers arrived in less than a week and a half, and came with everything packaged nicely and nothing was squished~! Shipping cost was about $2.50

Cost:♥♥♥♥♥
The cost of the two samplers was $4 each + shipping came to a total of $10.79! That was a great price for all the snacks I got, plus the combined samplers were nearly as much candy as a regular sized box(*´▽`*)

Overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall, I was once again extremely happy with my order from FoodesuBoxCo! My snacks arrived quickly and safely, I got some adorable Halloween extras, and the little cakes especially were amazing *O* I really appreciated the effort that went into making these samplers Halloween themed and delicious!

Thank you FoodesuBoxCo for the amazing Halloween samplers! Also, part 2 of the FoodesuBoxCo Halloween review will be posted soon!

Thank you for reading!

KickinItKawaiii Review!

Hello everyone! It's been kind of a while since I posted a review, thanks to computer problems ((´д`)) But thankfully, everything is back to normal and I can post the reviews I've been saving! 
So, today I'm going to share another kawaii package of kawaii-goodness from KickinItKawaiii on instagram! I was so happy wityh my first order that I decided to buy more cute things (‐^▽^‐) (you can check out my first order review here)
My items arrived in less than a week and packaged in a small package~
 GASP. MANY THINGS
When I poured the contents out, there were my items PLUS a ton of extra goodies!! *0*
 The first thing I got was this adorable little thank you note ;w; it reads "Thank you so much for always being so supportive! As always I hope you enjoy everything! Thanks again! Caitlin" so sweet !
 The next items I received were the two adorable ice cream bear keychains I bought! There were a bunch of colors, but I decided on mint and blue
 I love these little guys so much because they have a very "handmade" look to them, like someone had arranged the little gems and fruit unique to each kaychain (*^▽^*)
 The green bear had a little spot of brown on its ear, and the blue bear had a little extra bit of plastic on the back. I don't mind because neither "flaw" is overly noticeable~
 The next items I received were these super tiny and super cute bells! Each one appears to be hand painted, which is awesome ( I would go blind painting these omg)
 The first two are yellow and white dragons! They look pretty lucky to me (*゚∀゚*)
 The nest two I got were a strawberry and a manekineko with a fish! 
Fun fact: manekineko means "lucky cat." Between the cat and the dragons, it appears I have myself some magical lucky bells( ゚∀ ゚) maybe they can get me to college 
When I was little, my friend and I used to go to China Town a lot and buy each other little bells similar to these, so having these gives me a sense of nostalgia uwu
The next item I received was a plastic Mameshiba bell! It was a free gift :w:
 I'm not an expert on Mameshibas, but I think this one is a...black bean? I think it's a black bean. It matches the tiger Mameshiba squishy I have! (*^v^*)

 And last but not least, all the CANDYY!! There were probably ten little candies in the package, along with a pink bear lollipop! (All of which were eaten that day)
 Let's take a moment to absorb all this kawaii goodness here

☆~Ratings~☆

quality:♥♥♥♥♥
I was extremely happy with everything in this package! The extras were awesome (and delicious) and I received everything I had purchased! The little bears did have minor flaws, but I was informed of this before buying

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥
Shipping cost $2.50 (which is really good) and my order came safely and packaged nicely~

cost:♥♥♥♥♥
Each ice cream bear cost $3.50, and each bell cost $1, bringing the total cost plus shipping to $13.50!

overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall, I was once again amazed at how cute everything was, and how many extra goodies came with my order! It makes me really happy to see sellers going the extra mile to include these things :w: The ice cream bears were too cute, and the bells appeared to be hand painted! The best part of all of this, is that I can now use them to decorate my pouches and bags (*´▽`*) I definitely would suggest checking out KickinItKawaiii's instagram shop and buying some adorable things! The prices are seriously great and shipping is very cheap! 


Thank you KickinItKawaii for the adorable package, and thank you everyone for reading!

Squishies from Pancake Delights! review

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share with you some adorable goodies that I bought from Pancake Delights on instagram! 
 my package came within about a week, and came wrapped with cute tie-dye and sparkly green tape( ˊᵕˋ )♡
 (colorful tape is best tape)

Ta daaaa~! Here is everything that I ordered, plus even MORE GOODIES *w*

The extras that were included were a cute little sparkly green tape bow, and a handmade masking tape wallet!!
(inside)
A lot of care went into this adorable wallet ;W; It had a cute design on the front, and the inside had cute denim-patterned accents! I've actually been using this for a few days and it's lasted longer than my sailor moon wallet from ebay xD I absolutely love it~
 The first item that I purchased was this pink Nekodo! 
It came in a little baggy with it's original packaging and receipt (⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)
The packaging also had a little pamphlet with the other Nekodo designs ~
 The Nekodo was in perfect condition, and had the cutest little face(´▽`ʃƪ)♡ It had a rubber-y yet foam texture, and was mildy squishy (kinf of a stress-ball material) As I mentioned in a previous review, Nekodo donuts are very fragile,so I'll be keeping it safe with my other kitty donuts~

The next items I received were the other three Nekodo cat donuts! I love the design on this little bag
(on the other side was Hello Kitty!)
Inside were the three little donuts (´ ▽`) each were individually wrapped
glorious, glorious nekodos
The three desings I got were gray tabby, calico, and pudding? Not sure what to call the yellow one, but it has the same desgin/colors as banana pudding. The pudding one and the calico one both had paint chipping on one of their ears, and the calico also had a little pink coloring around the face area

The next squishy I received was this adorable Gudetama squishy/keychain!
Gudetama was in great condition, and came with it's original tag/wrapping~ Since I love anything Gudetama, I knew I had to snatch up this baby too
plus...EGG BOOTY (__)_) 

The last squishy I bought was another squishy I had been hunting for- a jumbo Taiyaki!
The taiyaki was also in mint condition, and had its original tag and wrapping. This one was super soft and slow-rising! Also looked good enough to eat *3*

~All the squishy goodies~
☆~Ratings~☆
quality:♥♥♥♥♥
I was very happy with the quality of everything I received! Although the calico and yellow cats had slight chipping and discoloration, they had had a home before, plus Nekodos are always very fragile. The other two nekodos, the taiyaki, and gudetama were all in perfect condition! The two adorable extras made up for any small flaws in the Nekodos~

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥
Shipping was very quick and everything was packaged very nicely. Since the shipping was included in the total price, I'm not sure how much it cost just to ship

cost:♥♥♥♥♥
The overall cost of everything was $40. Considering I've seen some crazy prices for taiyakis, and I haven't even seen any official cat donuts for sale, I was very pleased with this price. Plus the aroable handmade wallet and bow were free!

overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall I was extremely happy with everything I received! The nekodos are like finding four leaf clovers, and PancakeDelights had four of them! I was also grateful that I was able to snag Gudetama and the Taiyaki(´∀`)♡ The extras in this package were handmade and very nice, and overall, this package made me excited to receive and open! I would give this purchace a 5 star rating~
