Dior Addict Lip Glow

Better than chapstick!  I've heard about this amazing lip balm from a friend and recently decided to purchase it.  My assessment: LOVE it!  This lip balm not only moisturizes and has SPF 10 but it also brings out the color of your lips so it looks different on every skin tone.  It appears very natural and may I add, it feels nice when gliding the balm on your lips.

How To Make Kurogoma Pops

Kurogoma Ice Cream is a Japanese dessert that I tried in Japan.  "Kuro" means "Black" and "Goma" means "Sesame (seeds)" hence, Black Sesame Seeds.  You can find it at any Convenient Store in Japan.  I've NEVER had this so imagine my surprise when I found it heavenly!  Since I can't find it here, I decided to make pops instead.

Hello Kitty Trash Bin

This is a cute trash bin but I am a little disappointed with the quality. It's made of plastic but it feels flimsy. I find that it looks much better on picture. Now, let's take a closer look from all sides ...

I purchased this for the purpose of storing my Galleria folding umbrellas. I have it next to the door for conveniency. 
The lid also comes off.

Autobot Chrome Decal




I absolutely love this five inch shiny chrome decal!  And because it's mirror-like, you could see your own reflection.  I was worried, at first, that it might not stand out as much because my vehicle is white but it turned out okay.  UNFORTUNATELY, I didn't apply it very well and I am very disappointed.  I wouldn't say it was difficult to apply. It wasn't.  I just didn't do a good job.  I'm just thankful a friend convinced me to apply it from behind instead of the hood or the side of my car.  I am not happy with how I applied it but at least it looks great from afar!

This is one of the videos I watched to give me an idea of how to apply it.  It does come with instructions but I'm visual and I like to see how others do it.

Galleria: White Daisy Folding Umbrella


I just adore the Galleria flower umbrellas! They are exquisite. I love the detail on this umbrella. Notice the water drops ....
This is a sturdy folding umbrella that opens and closes with a push of a button.
