#and also me finding a bunch of sanrio stuff while I was out today

[ashes-of-ailell]

three houses characters but sanrio collab

mayhaps another art series is in order

[kekoma]

— hanamaki as your boyfriend.

hands belong in pockets, not in your pants unless you’re him. hope you enjoy.

hanamaki hours has now entered the chambers.

such an amazing man. would do many things for him, but you didn’t come here to know that.

you came here to see how life is like dating hiro, yeah? so let’s get into.

how you two ended up dating isn’t munch of a mystery.

makki  had s personality that attracts all kind of people without even trying so it wasn’t a surprise when he had been able to lure you in as well.

as for when he realized that he actually liked you was when mattsun had pointed out how much he spoke you to him. 

and he also picked up the fact that he started flirting with you more than before too yet it no longer had that playful feel around it— hiro was serious about wooing you over.

pretty sure he was the one to make the move on you. he isn’t someone that is shy so when he asked you if you would go to the amusement park with him— that’s when he became a bolder.

“how are you enjoying our date so far?”

“it’s actually amazing~ can we... huh? wait... our date?”

“well yeah. this is our first official date. heh i suppose this is my chance to confess to you now.”

everything went smoothly. he was quite confident that you’ll say yes since makki made time to learn everything about you and paid close attention to any and every small behavior along side gestures you revealed.

not much to really go on about so i’ll hop right into the actual stuff.

i’ve mentioned it before with issei so it’s only right i’ll mention it here too since takahiro gives off the same energy.

you two are DEFINITELY the kind of couple who jokes around about breaking up over the strangest things and it’ll be at random times too.

“my guy... who cuts your hair?”

“huh? what are you talking about cutie?”

“i can’t help but realize that your hair reminds me of an upside skate ramp. who are you paying because baby...”

“so i see you woke up and choose violence today... you know, i didn’t come to get roasted. i came here to love you y/n and this is what i get?”

“hold up! stay right there. i’m gonna go find my tech deck and do a few tricks.”

“i- yeah let’s break up. my lawyers will call yours and i’m taking the kids too. can’t believe i’m bullied right now.”

vv dramatic but it doesn’t bother you since you go along with his ways.

being serious? is considered rare within the relationship.

however, when it does occur then hiro can be deapan.

which i will take the time to discuss arguments with him briefly.

again, it’s something rare since the relationship is mainly playful and uplifting each other.

yet when you two get pretty heated, it can go two (2) ways.

a) he’ll opt for the silent treatment since he could say some really foul things that could possibly hurt you to the max and he doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. may even go as far to put a little more distance between you two so he can calm down and approach you in a better manner.

b) actually voices how he feels about towards the situation at hand and will probably sound extremely venomous when doing so. his main goal when speaking is getting his point across if you dismissed it and/or made it seem like he’s in the wrong.

up to you on how you would like to view his way of approaching arguments though.

but if you want to make it up to him then give makki space for a while before apologizing. also make sure the apology is honest because HE WILL know if you’re lying and if he catches you then it’s back to square one...

with that out the way, let’s return.

DEFINITELY is an supportive boyfriend that likes helping you grow as a person and reach your goals. since you do the same for him, it’s only fair plus he likes seeing the smile on your face once something is accomplished.

although he already has you— makki will still flirt with you. it’s just more cheesier.

“damn babe. is your father a priest because i’m feeling blessed when i’m with you.”

“shut up before i eat your food.”

“ooh~ that’s hot. guess your dad isn’t one. perhaps i’m dancing with the devil because you’re hot as hell.”

“... takahiro. sir please. stop.”

“okay okay but i think you should see this.” proceeds to shove his phone in your face, the front camera on to reveal you on the screen, “this is the prettiest person i’ve ever met.”

“you’re lucky you’re cute and that i love you.”

definitely does the hand in his pants thing in your house and in his (ofc).

even if they have pockets or you call him out for it, it’s just an automatic for him so you gotta accept it.

besides that, if you’re someone that LOVES to bake or occasionally bakes— best believe he’s the first to taste it all.

extra points to you if you make cream puffs.

is most definitely the kind of boyfriend who invest in matching items. clothing, jewelry, phone case, and etc. he finds the concept cute to be honest.

if you’re lucky enough, he’ll let you buy matching hair clips (something cute like Sanrio, fruits, animals or etc.) and lets you put them in his hair.

won’t compain if it seems extremely girly/cutesy. instead makki will take a bunch of pictures and post a few on his sns about how you two are matching.

also loves to make it known he has the most divine girlfriend in the world. dude is proud to be your boyfriend so ofc he’s gonna show off.

nicknames? yeah yeah nicknames real quick.

top ones for you are 🥁🥁 babe/baby, beautiful, cutie and lover girl occasionally makes it’s way around.

something a little extra: hiro will even call you his doll sometimes but its only brought up at random times. 

moving onto pda since it’ll also be a bit brief.

in love with PDA when it comes to you. 

although he tones it down when you two are in public so of course you get the basics, but something he’ll always do is wrap his arm around you or constantly interlock his fingers with both combined hands on his thigh.

as for private, it’s not as filtered. would say he’s a bit more touchy but i must advise... don’t keep your back turned to him for long because makki will use the opportunity to either smack or grab your ass while saying “i like your cut g.”

... can’t convince me he doesn’t do that. rip y/n’s ass.

last but not least— dates!

don’t think hanamaki is picky about what kind of dates you two go on.

but most dates are chaotic in a way. will deadass text you in the middle of the night or show up to your place be like “wanna film dance vids in a parking lot? or like walk around and eat good street food.” and you just gotta go with it.

however, when they aren’t that way or involving outside then some dates consist of staying indoors. probably baking together, watching a bunch of movies, doing his makeup and etc.

overall: 10/10

best relationship with constant fun <3 we love it here.

and that’s where i end this bc makki do be breaking my brain.

[nagichi-boop]

hi!!! can i get a matchup pls??? • im 170cm, very pale, i have a few freckles on my face and i have this mole below my left eye (other ppl look good w it why does mine look like dirt??? 😖), i lean more on the thick side but unfortunately not that thick 😔🤘, my hair is always up on a ponytail!! bc its rlly hot in my country, i only let my hair down at home. oh!! and my hair is shoulder length 🍰

im really quiet at first but when you get close to me i can get rlly loud. not all the time tho, talking too much exhausts me :d i appear as a very boyish person to others so i hide the fact that i like stuff like sanrio, pokemon, star butterfly vs. the forces of evil- ok i gotta stop. i like sending my friends weird memes at 3am. the reaction they give in the morning feeds my soul 👌 🍰

im a multimedia arts student!! i love editing photos and videos so thats what i do a lot on my free time. i write and draw too! but im not confident in it yet. im considered tall in my country so a lot of professors recommend me to be a student athlete, but i h a t e sweating.. i like watching people play tho! (but i almost never cheer even if its my brother or a friend im shy ok iM SORRY) this was hella long :000 i apologize bsbsjsb and thank you in advance!!! ❤ 🍰

Hey! Thank you for your request! I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to. Hope you like it anyways!

I'd ship you with...

Kuroo Tetsurou!

• I'm gonna assume you are in the class same as Kuroo for this, hope that's okay.

• He was walking with Yaku having another debate about their preferences for girls when he suddenly pointed at you and said "like her!", which caused you to freeze. Kuroo also froze as he realised what he did. He then ran up to you to apologise and explained that he was arguing about preferences and he was saying that you looked attractive. He then awkwardly blushed and jogged off, apologising as he went back to Yaku and the team.

• Honestly you were really shocked about the situation. Like...what just happened? This boy suddenly just came up to you, said you were attractive then left.

• You then saw him and Kenma the next day and he stopped and stared at you for a moment, before going over to you looking slightly flustered. He then said in a slightly nervous voice, "Uhm, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, but the truth is I have kind of noticed you for a while. You look really pretty and I kind of wanted to talk to you. I noticed as well that you tend to doodle in class and when I glanced over, I thought you drawings were super cute...a-anyways, we don't have volleyball practice after school today, so did you want to go to a café with me later? My treat."

• Kenma quietly judged Kuroo because of how creepy he was being but also because he knew exactly what he was doing.

• You agreed without thinking since the whole situation caught you off guard, and he happily thanked you and walked off, saying he'd come find you after school. Then after he left, you realised what you'd done.

• You waited for him outside the school and he finally caught up with you, but Kenma was also with him. He then took the two of you to a cat café because of course he did and Kenma, who read the mood and realised he was third wheeling, left the two of you alone to talk while he went to play with the cats.

• It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after Kuroo settled down a little, he became super easy to talk to and was really good at keeping the conversation going, which helped you to relax as well. Before you knew it, the two of you started sharing memes and cackling at them together. You could feel Kenma's judgement from across the room.

• Kuroo asked if he could have your number and you agreed. You sent him a 3am meme hoping he wouldn't get mad, and the next morning he sent you a bunch of messages about how he was wheezing and he couldn't breathe because of how funny the memes were, so you decided to add him to your target list of sending memes. Eventually, Kuroo started to participate as well, sending you memes as well as people on his team. Some found it funny, but others Yaku and Kenma got mad at Kuroo, which only motivated him to do it more. He also started to occasionally send some to your friends as well.

• You were afraid to be more open with Kuroo because you didn't want him to think badly of you because of the less "boyish" things you liked. One day, though, he caught you looking at pictures of Sanrio plushies on your phone, which made you panic. But he just smiled and said, "I like those too," which was really shocking. You assumed he was just trying to be nice, but then he pulled out his keys, which had a Kuromi keychain attached.

• (Apparently, he and Kenma found out about the Sanrio characters when they went to an arcade as kids and they bought each other keychains. Kenma bought Kuromi for Kuroo and Kuroo bought Gudetama for Kenma. Kenma's keychain was attached to the case for his Animal Crossing Switch. He told you to keep this a secret since he knew Kenma would get embarrassed, but it eventually came up in conversation at one point and Kenma showed his keychain.)

• As you and Kuroo got closer, so did you and Kenma. He was really good at noticing when something was off and he'd listen to your concerns. You also realised that you had a lot of common interests and you felt comfortable sharing your hobbies with him and Kuroo. When Kuroo saw the two of you talking comfortably about Pokémon one time, he had a really sincere smile on his face because he was amazed at how well the two of you got along and how you glew when you talked passionately about your hobbies. He fell in love with you a little more.

• You realised one day that you weren't exactly sure what your relationship with Kuroo was. You were friends of course and you'd spend a lot of time together, but you wanted more, you were just afraid to say since you didn't want to ruin what you had. Kenma noticed you seemed to be deep in thought and you told your feelings to him, to which convinced you to confess to Kuroo, saying it would make him happy.

• You nervously said to Kuroo that you'd like to date, and he just kind of froze and then said in a cracked voice "s-sure!" He then apologised for the strange response and then confessed that he'd had feelings for you for a long time, he just didn't know how to tell you. He then kissed your hand and thanked you for confessing, then he ran off to get ready for practice.

• Kuroo seemed to be a little bit more on edge with you now you were dating. When you confronted him about it, he said he wasn't sure how comfortable you were with displays of affection and the reason he was on edge was because he wasn't sure whether he was okay to hold your hand, hug you, kiss you, etc. You let him know what your terms were and he relaxed a little knowing what his boundaries were.

• You were glad Kuroo was taller than you because you loved being able to bury yourself in his chest or shoulder whenever he hugged you. And despite his tough-looking exterior, he really loves cuddling and he's super good at it and showing his affection in soft ways.

• Kuroo really loves watching you draw and edit. He either quietly watches you do it or he sits off to the side and let's you get on with it, maybe looking at you every now and then and smiling at how pretty you look. Either way, he is fine with quietly hanging around when you work and he does his best not to disturb you, but also likes to encourage you to take breaks and cuddles you when you do so you can recharge.

• The first time you let your hair down in front of Kuroo he just...stopped? You got confused because you didn't know why he reacted like that, but he had to turn his head away and cover his face because of how much he was blushing. Even if you don't think highly of yourself, to him you are the most stunning, attractive person ever, both in terms of how you look and your personality.

• Kuroo really appreciate you supporting him during matches, even if you don't go crazy cheering for him. Just knowing you're there is enough for him to feel grateful.

• The club members love you as well. Not only are you Kuroo's weakness which they sometimes like to exploit for entertainment, you also get along with everyone super well. They were so shocked when they saw Kenma talking to you so naturally. They started inviting you out whenever they'd go out as a team since you were practically a part of it now.

• Kuroo is super good at showing how much he loves you, even just through little things. You also make him super happy just by being you. Arguing with Yaku that day was the best thing to ever happen to him.

I was gonna pair you with Yaku but I felt like I was only doing that since I've already done Kuroo as a matchup before, but honestly I think Kuroo is a super good match. Hope you enjoyed this!

Sorry this is so long btw, I am in Kenma and Kuroo loving hours, so this was fun to write! To be honest, I could have written more if I wanted to, but I didn't wanna drag this out too much.

Cutie Reviews: Kawaii Box August 2017

Hello Cuties... I know it’s September and I’m behind. But to be honest with this recent “controversy” over Blippo/Kawaii Box selling apparently fake Amuse products (and the fact a keyboard key I use frequently broke, and spending the weekend driving all over to find ONE game) I just haven’t been in the mood.

I mean, my blog is finally getting some attention! I’m thrilled! But seeing that someone reblogged it for the sake of using it in their protest against the fake Amuse products makes me feel like.... poop, I guess.

I want this to be a happy and enjoyed Blog, and popular because everyone likes Cute things like I do, or they enjoy reading what I have to say.

One last tribute to summer before Fall/Autumn I suppose.

First up are the monthly stickers, featuring the Sumikko Gurashi and a... Nessy? A giant lizard?? Some random monster of Sumikko Lake??? No clue. I’ve been seeing these around as of late- but I’m still attached to the Sumikko Gurashi neko products ♥ 

The sheet is clearly bigger than this but I decided up-close allowed for better detail. The stickers feature golden, metallic border, details, or coloring on them for a bit of flair.

4 out of 5. I like the detail and shininess. I just wish they were a little bit bigger. Some of these would make great resin projects though.

Next up is this useful Sanrio Plush Pencil Bag. As you can see, I got the adorable Cinnamoroll~

5 out of 5. The outside is plush and features nice quality stitched detail, as well as a sturdy zipper and a semi-stretchy strap on the back. However, what amazes me is how sturdy the inside is. It feels like it has cardboard or something in it to make it feel stiff, even though when feeling the inside there’s nothing in there. It loses some of it if you play with it a little, but it does maintain the sturdiness.

Not only that, but it’s cute, and it’s big. It can fit a lot of important stuff you may need on hand, like a cellphone, compact or lip product, erasers, fold-able items, gum, throat drops, emergency squishy or fidget spinner/cube, etc. In fact, I plan to use it when I resume sorting my crates considering I ran out of room in the last pouch I got.

A bit late- but still a useful, practical drink Bottle. Despite the glossy look it has in the picture, the bottle is frosted, and about 1 1/2 inches shorter than the one I got from Yume Twins a few months back.

3.5 out of 5. Still useful and kinda cute I guess. The only thing I don’t like about these types of bottles is their confusing inside pieces. I can never figure out how it sits in there and usually make it fall into the drink...

Here’s a retro toy, a Sparkle Rainbow Slinky. A mini-slinky, that is. It’s not a normal sized slinky. It’s made out of a very thin, kawaii rainbow plastic (?) with glitter~

5 out of 5. When I was little I loved playing with slinkies. I still have my old ones actually. It does the stair trick like other Slinky as well, but it’s a little harder to get it to work since it’s on a smaller scale. It’s a cute nostalgic toy.

Here we have 2 cutesy keychains, a kawaii tofu squishy, and a Kanahei Plushie.

Starting with the plushie, it’s very soft. The arms, legs, and ears are just sewn to the torso, not filled with anything. However, I did notice a strange white string sewn between the left side of the head and ear. It’s not loose, it’s attached- so I’m kinda afraid to pull it since I don’t know what it might be holding. 4 out of 5.

Next is the Kawaii Tofu Squishy. It’s a fast-riser but it’s ultra-soft. I compared it with a Squish Dee-Lish squishy I got for comparison. Both of them were nearly identical in softness, but the SDL was slower. Weirdly they both smell the same.

4.5 out of 5. I love how cute it is, how soft it is- but there is a strange hard piece on the “forehead“ and I’m not sure if it’s random plastic, or if something is connected to it. I really want to see but I can’t bring myself to destroy this, and I never saw anyone else cut one open yet (and I’ve seen a lot of squishy cutting videos).

We also got a “squishy snack“ to go with the squishy: the Pompom Purrin Pudding Gummies. Now, considering I got my 2nd stage of my tooth fix, I was told “no gummies or ooey-gooey stuff“ until I got the crown put on.

Did that stop me?

Not really. But don’t worry, I didn’t break it or pull it out. I’m still good (and any day now I’ll be getting the crown on so I can go back to all the candy I love~)

Anyway, this isn’t trick pudding gummy like last time, it’s actual pudding flavored. I don’t like pudding but I’m tolerable of pudding-flavored sweets (as long as it isn’t a filled pastry).

5 out of 5. They’re soft and squishy, I love the texture~ 

Now I’ve said this before, but I ♥ lip products! I got really excited when I saw this Sweet Kiss Lip Gloss. I like it, but...

3.5 out of 5.

I do have a few complaints. The sheet says it’s strawberry-scented, but this actually smells flowery, like lotion or something, maybe with a hint of cherry. I also noticed that the lip gloss sinks and I don’t know why exactly. I do like the scent though, and the texture is very creamy and smooth.

Lastly we have 2 school supplies left, a Cute Stamp Highlighter (which is available in a variety of colors and shapes on the official website.), and a Milky Color Ink Pen.

The stamp highlighter is actually self-explanatory. It’s a highlighter with a stamp shape. You can highlight, and stamp cute stars with it. It’s very smooth despite the shape etched top, and very handy for highlighting- but a bit hard to see as a stamp due to the color I got.

I know, right after I get through saying “I rarely get yellow items, I always get pink- my favorite!“ in the last post. 4 out of 5. I like it but I wish this color was a little bit darker, or that it was thicker; either way would have made it more visible. 

This other item is a little deceiving, meanwhile, it says milky color but it’s in name only, due to the pastels and cow themed coloring of the tube. The color I specifically got is sky blue, which is pretty, I admit. Where the name is resides a tiny checklist where the other colors are visible.

5 out of 5. I love fine-tip pens like this, and it’s little pen area is so fancy looking. It also writes in sky blue! As you can see above.

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 4 out of 5. I ended up loving everything just about. Nothing really bothered me or caused me to express concern other than a few little complaints or curiosities. The stuff was pretty small scale, but they did provide us with some essentially useful stuff.

Quality - 4.5 out of 5. As I said above, I liked the stuff, and nothing was really wrong with it; and for the price we pay I feel like it’s fair.

Theme - 2.5 out of 5. I had include this because the images decorating the included sheet was beach themed, while the other side featured the Sumikko Gurashi characters. We did get a SG item, and we did get a lip gloss and bottle- which could come in handy for beach activities. However, the content kinda screamed school/work to me.

Total Rank: 10.5/11 out of 15 Cuties. I loved the content, even though it was a bit smallish in my opinion. I miss the DIY stuff we used to get in the crates honestly. The “theme” also had mixed signals and I wish they played a bit more accurately with it. They could have done more to say goodbye to summer, I’m sure of it.

♥ Cutie Scale ♥

1. Pencil Bag - Surprisingly I had to give this 1st place. It’s practical, soft, and cute!

2. Squishy Tofu - It has the softest texture, and kawaiiest face~

3. Stickers - Sumikko Gurashi anything is always cute!  

4. Plushie - It’s simple and cute. Plus pink bunnies are always ftw.

5. Slinky - It’s smaller size makes it a little cute, but sparkles and rainbow colors make it pretty as well.  

6. Pudding Gummies - Anything shaped or textured like a pudding is naturally adorable :3

7. Lip Gloss - It looks like one I bought from the dollar store (ironically cherry), and it’s put together better honestly.

8. Bottle - it’s alright. I kinda have a bunch of these now, I didn’t need another one... 

9. Cute Stamp Highlighter - The designs are cute, but if it had a better, visible color I would have ranked it higher. This yellow is a little harsh on the eyes. 

10. Milky Color Ink Pen - It’s a bit cute, but it feels fancy to me.

Okay Cuties, that does it for another review. Not much to say today- but I do have 1 last August box to do, then I’m ready for Septembers... if anyone cares. I started to feel a little better while writing this but now my mood is completely ruined.

Until next time stay Cute.

Grandparents

and swimming and summering. ☼

Last weekend was all kinds of exciting. Me and mum went jogging/walking on Wednesday and I felt really good and energized being able to run as fast as I could until my lungs burned. I’ve missed the endorphines and I don’t even care about the scorching heat, I’m enjoying summer so much. ☼ The WRC rally started on Thursday and there was all kinds of buzz around town with a cool aerobatics show and lots of tourists. Every single year it’s just as exciting. As a child me and dad would bike downtown to look at rally tourists and the international atmosphere was so much fun even back then. Now that I live in the center of town it’s possibly even more exciting. I had a debate with myself of whether I wanted to go to our summer house to see grandmum and grandpa (plus the red lunar eclipse that ended up being covered by clouds smh) or stay in town to stalk the rally crowd. I chose to go see granny and grandpa and spent a really relaxing weekend napping on the deck, eating delicious food, filling in crosswords puzzles with granny and mum, going for a little jog and swimming with my little swim ring pool float thingy. Swimming with the swim ring was so much fun and I got to enjoy the warm lake water 3 times in total. So suck on that back stitches and skin removals! I also got to enjoy a bit of sauna time as well since I washed up in there. Next weekend I’m going to be free of stitches and this time around two weeks have gone by so fast. Also I haven’t been in a lot of pain, just the occasional sting and itching. I guess not thinking about it means I don’t feel it as much. I’ve also been able to do some light back excercises - whether or not that’s a good thing I’ll find out at some point.

So this week my boss returned to work and I’ve had a bit more to do. Still not a whole lot but a few tasks here and there. Today I had a meeting with her while my boyfriend was visiting Rilakkuma Town (the 15 year anniversary exhibit/store) and I was really stressed about leaving him hanging for 40 minutes lol. He did a bunch of anniversary product shopping for me and now I’m all decked out on my Rilakkuma swag. He’s still going to visit Sanrio Gift Gate in Osaka before he flies back so I’m hoping to get a couple more items from there. I‘m decked out for life on all things Japan and I’m not too terribly bothered by all this money I’m spending treating myself. It’s my money that I’ve earned with hard work doing nothing all July hehe...

I’ve been really productive this week. I cleaned the toilet and kitchen yesterday and made myself a spinach soup. Today I did laundry. It’s still scorching hot so cleaning and chores aren’t exactly comfortable but I’m proud to have that stuff done. I even washed my guy’s pajama pants and college pants plus a random Star Wars T-shirt in anticipation of having him back in a month. Today I also did some banking since it was payday and organized some photos from my phone to my PC. I even reworked some of my footage from my trip to Japan and re-rendered my video collage of the trip. Now I’m even updating my blog. Wow. But honestly not wasting my day away on the couch makes it seem like I have a lot more free time so I’m not complaining. I was planning on doing a bit of a workout later as well but I might wait for a few more minutes for the weather to cool off a bit.

No big plans for Wednesday yet, might just do some video gaming after work. Possibly go and buy some groceries.. I’m getting my stitches removed on Thursday morning and playing ACNL with my friend in the evening. Dad is starting work tomorrow. He got rehired for his previous position as the person who was already hired cancelled. He’s coming back for the weekend and we’re probably going to chill out at the cottage and have an end of the summer party since mum’s going back to work next Monday. Work’s really going to pick up for me next week as well. My calendar is completely packed with trainings and meetings.

I’m meeting my new colleague tomorrow. It’s her first day and she’ll be getting to know all the ins and outs of the system that she’s working as tech support for. I’m excited. I hope she’s a nice person.

Review: Doki Doki Crate Jan 2017

I don’t have much to say so lets just get rolling!

Before I begin, I’d like to apologize for keeping the Cuties who like my blog waiting <3 Whether I know anyone reads these or not- I have a lot of fun writing them and I think its great experience.

I also wanted to mention that this box came later can usual this month. As it turned out, there was an issue with the Amuse Cat Pouch that was included in the box. US Customs had pulled it over, and had they not switched it out, we would have been waiting even longer for this box. In the box instead had been this note:

To make up for what happened, they traded that item for these candies:

Right away I can’t say that a bunch of cheap candies may not be able to make up for an item missing in the box- but I thought it was so sweet of them to try, I wasn’t disappointed at all.

Here we got the Nyusankin Ikitekimasu Yogurt Candy, which are little probiotic hard candies with the taste of strawberry and aid in digestion. As well as three Genji Pie Cookies (2 of which were crumbled to tiny pieces) and were fairly plain, but not terrible?

The most fun of the trio was the Fortune Candy. A popular and cheap little chocolate candy with a strawberry shell that provide a fun little fortune. Each candy has one of these symbols on the wrapping behind them: ^ X O or a double circle.

The O means Very Good and Good, while X means Bad, and the triangle means Not Good. Beneath each candy is a random fortune aspect; such as popularity, travel, dating, Health, etc.

Apparently my dating life right now is looking not good, but I could took comfort in knowing my friend got Bad for wish. As much as that makes me a horrible person >:3

(I tease I tease, we shared a small laugh over it)

As a whole, I’d like to rank these 3 out of 5. I did like the Yogurt Candy and Fortune Candy, but the Genji Pie Cookies were so boring, and I love cookies. It didn’t help that they were so broken up though. I also noticed the list provided on the page that was in the box did not match up to the list on the fortune candy themselves and I could only match a few of them. I got a headache staring at both things for so long that I eventually just gave up.

Thankfully I think they took notice of this:

http://blog.japancrate.com/blog/2017/01/17/puchu-puchu-uranai-fortune-telling-chocolates/

If you’re like me and you can’t figure this out (I promise I’m not seeing things, they don’t match), this chart comes in handy. The two I opened match to the picture, so this is WAY easier to figure out. I ate a few more after finding it too. I have a not good for exercise, and very good for present!

So moving along, I actually discovered something pretty interesting. I recognized the Yogurt Candy from a youtuber I watch. She was explaining that a DAISO opened up near her just recently. Not only that but she had a few other items I recognized from this box and previous ones. Apparently some of the items we get in the boxes/crates are from Daiso. For those unaware, Daiso is essentially the Japanese dollar store.

On one hand this is exciting because Daiso is really awesome as far as I’m convinced. But on the other hand this might lessen the value of some crates/boxes for some people.

Okay, I apologize, I apparently did have a lot to say. Starting from this point I will be covering crate content.

So here we have the Suteki Crate of January. You may notice the pink being thrown at us here and I am okay with that <3

We have: A Fuji Film Instax, Laduree Japan Macaron Eraser, Cardcaptor Sakura 20th anniversary memorial box, Sanrio Daruma, Cinnamonroll MOMOgraph Pencil, Gudetama Planner, My Melody Backpack, Jinbei San Pouch, Sumikko Gurashi Calendar, and a Mini Arcade Game!

So starting with the cutest kitty pieces around, we have the Shogatsu Julie and Nekomiki Headband. As you can see, Julie is back! This time she has no flaws at all (and the little bow was on a package in the crate- as I mentioned I save them). 4 out of 5 for this one. She’s so cute, but I kinda miss her "Julie“ qualities, like her pill box hat and fluffy tail.

The headband is very cute and fluffy... but (and I feel stupid for saying this) I actually can’t figure out how you wear it. The only way that seems to work makes it slide off in a few minutes so I don’t think I’m getting it... 3 out of 5.

Next we have a super kawaii Relax Panda Hand Rest perfect for long nights on the computer or other little activities when your wrists need a break OwO. 5 out of 5. I noticed very minor defects on mine (not very visible in the pic though), but its so squishy and cute. It also comes in handy, cause I get a lot of wrist pains.

For the month of January, Hoppe Chan decided to make herself look like Mount Fuji! As you can see we got traditional Hoppe Chan, and as usual she is made of squishy rubbery deco bits. The little mountain is plastic, as is the bow on the baby hoppe chan. 5 out of 5. Virtually useless, but I screamed when I saw the tiny hoppe chan <3 I LOVE tiny cute things.

Of course I had to put the cookies together~

Notice anything special about these cookies though??

THEY’RE ACTUALLY SECRET ITEMS!

That’s right, the Macaron Case is a case you can take apart and put stuff in. Nobody will be none the wiser! Not only that but it rolls around too, its a toy and compartment all in one :3

You can put all sorts of items into it, like your favorite pins and bows, or some bracelets and necklaces <3 Also, check out the Biscuit Pen! 5 out of 5 for both items.

I’m sorry if this review seemed a little rushed or boring. I’m starving and I really need a bite to eat~

<3 Cutie Ranking <3

Quality - 3 out of 5. I felt the need to include this today because as I mentioned, not only did 2 out of the 3 cookies come broken up/destroyed, but my panda had little defects on it.

Content - I felt like half of this stuff should have been put in the September cat-themed box honestly ^ x ^ This box was New Years themed, but I can’t say I entirely got that outside of the Hoppe Chan. I do like the content, but... I feel mixed on it. 3 out of 5. 

Practicality - The Panda and Case are very usable, as are the pen and headband. But when you can’t make an item work and get a pen that you probably wouldn’t use all the time given how little it is. 4 out of 5. 

Total Rank: 10 out of 15 Cuties.

<3 Cutie Scale <3

1. Mt. Fuji Hoppe Chan - As usual Hoppe Chan is prec <3 with the tiny hoppe chan on top she quickly won me over. 

2. Relax Panda Hand Rest - I love panda, and I feel more relaxed just looking at this thing~

3. Biscuit Pen - It’s little, its cute, it has a ribbon sticker on it!

4. Julie Shogatsu Edition - She’s really precious and adorable, don’t get me wrong. But I miss the old charm of the original Julie.

5. Nekomimi Headband - it’s so soft~ 

6. Macaron Case - it’s adorable, I love macaron <3 but its fairly plain.

7. The Included Candies - Fun, and again very sweet of them. But not cute at all besides packaging.

I have my last January box coming up in the next post Cuties <3 My February boxes will start to come very soon too!

I also plan to make posts detailing the various brands I Subscribe to, and doing some fun “top 10” lists! So stay tuned~
