Cherry Blossom



Today I'm going to talk about cherry blossom, my most favorite flower. Since it's a popular flower due to its beauty, we can see it around the world. In Brazil, I could have never seen it. It's because cherries need a certain amount of cold in order to bloom.

In U.S many people visit to see it blooming. It's very fabulous. I hope I can visit there in the future.



In my home country, Japan, it's common to see cherry blossom with eating dinner or lunch. It's called "Hanami.(花見)" When I was in Japan I did it with my firends, classmates and family every year. It was very fun. I hope we can do it in Sao Paulo, too.



It's been long that I don't see the cherry blossom since I came to Brazil. I'm looking forward to seeing it when I go back to Japan.

Best post on my blog: HUGE FOOD


Have you ever tried to eat a gigantic food? Sometimes there are restaurants and shops selling it with advertisement saying "Free if you could finish eating in 30 mins" something like that.



A parfait in the picture above is about 1m, surprizingly. I read the articles written by 2 men that ate this huge parfait. Picture below is the time when they ate "King Parfait" for the first time.







They said that they were shocked by the great hugeness of the parfait. It was 200 dollars. Unbelievably, they finished eating in the end.

I had sometimes eaten "King Parfait" with my friends when I went to a shopping center to play. Of course it's not such huge, it was about 50cm. Even with that, my 5 of us couldn't finish eating...it was really enormous, but it was very fun to try to finish eating with talking friends. However, I think I won't try again due to its hardness of eating.

There are also such incrediblly huge foods.



The article said it is actually sold, unbeliebably.



Surprizingly, the huge candies extend to the celling. This is the largest candy shop in New York called "Dylan's Candy Bar." It's very beautiful and very popular among Americans. I want to visit here, once in my life.

Curly Hair



In my home country, Japan, the majority of people have straight hair while many foreign people have curly hair. So, many Japanese girls including me want to give a try being curly hair like a foreigner.



So, recently, many girls have curly hair. I sometimes try to be curly hair, also. However, it's difficult to make curly hair by using hot curllar, indeed. I hope i can improve my skill to make it.

Bob Hair

Around the world, it was popular to have a hair style called "Bob hair" about 1 year ago, but it is still fashionable. I think bob hair is really pretty.



When I checked the pictures of fashion show in Paris in the last year, most of models were bob hair, surprizingly.



In Asia, bob hair also became popular since it makes our face look small and pretty. When I saw pictures sent by my friends in Japan, I was surprized as many friends on picture had bob hair. It was cute and it seemed that bob hair changes the impression of face because I couldn't recognize a person on the picture was my friend.



I'm thinking to cut my hair, but I don't want to be very short hair; nevertheless I feel I want to try this hair style as it is very pretty.

One-Piece

Recently, in Japan it's popular to wear an one-piece called "Maximum one-piece" as its lengh is pretty long.



Since it makes us look thin when we wear it, many girls in my home country start buying it. One clerk in a famous store for this one-piece mentioned that about 15,000 were sold on the last weekend.



As I'm not in Japan now, I can't buy them, however I want to try it when I'm visiting Japan in the next summer vacation.

Hat

Current fashionable hat is called "Kan-Kan-Bou" in Japan. I heard this unique shape of hat is becoming popular around the world.



When I saw a model wearig this hat for the first time, I thought that it's pretty strange. However, I consider it's fashionable and cute as I get used to see this hat.



However, I had never seen such hat in Brazil. My Korean friend said it was famous in Korea, too. I hope I can get one in Brazil or in Japan.

Eye Makeup



Have you ever tried eye makeup?
I think teenage girls in general might give a try once in the past. It really changes our impression since eyes looked pretty different when we made up our eyes.



Some people wear false eyelashes. False eyelashes in the picture above and below are a specific one for models.



What girls normally use are followings:

Eye shadow



Eye liner



Mascara



It's really interesting to make up. I had never tried false eyelashes...I hope I can try it when I visit Japan in the next vacation.

Chocolate



Happy Easter!

Today I'm going to present about everbody's favorite, CHOCOLATE, especially unique ones, since it is easter.

Chocolate buffet



Have you ever tried? We normally have it with cheese, but recently it's popular to eat chocolate buffet as a dessert. We eat fruits, sweets, etc with melted chocolate. We can do it easily at home.

Samurai castle



The castle in the picture above is a typical castle in Japan. As you expected, all of parts are made of chocolate.

Chocolate fountain



There is a hotel called Bellagio in Las Vegas. In the sweets shop of this hotel, there is a huge chocolate fountain. Unbelevably, there are 5 tons of chocolate.

YUKATA



On International Day, Japanese girls will wear "YUKATA," that is a traditional cloth in Japan. Some people asked if it is "KIMONO," that is also Japanese typical cloth. It seems to be the same appearance; however, it's different since Kimono has more thickness and it's warm when we wear as it is for winter to celebrate New Year. So, Yukata is more common to wear due to its thinness and easiness to walk around.



The women in the picture below is a model and she wears a modernized Yukata. Normally, we wear "GETA", specific shoes for when we wear yukata, but she uses boots, surprisingly.



Tomorrow, we are going to wear Yukata. Sinece I didn't wear it recently as I came here, I'm looking forward to wearing it. But I'm afraid of wearing it correctly as it's pretty difficult to do. My mother may help me, hopefully.

Bath Salts



When I was in Japan, I had loved taking bath with spa powder. Since I had played basketball everyday, I was really exhausted all the time when I arrived home. To get rid of my tiredness, I often took bath with bath salts. It relaxed me so much and I loved this time.





Bath salts above are very good to recover people's health. As these bath powder include treatment for our body, they can make us feel better.

There are some interesting bath salts. In the picture below, there are candies as you can see them; however these are also bath salts. Very cute, aren't them? I love such bath salts.



There are also ice cream shaped ones.



I often use them still, but it's almost over since I only know the place to buy them in Japan. So, I'm looking for shops every time when I go to a shopping center. relieve my exhaustion well.

Teddy Bear

Every girl lovs stuffed toy animals. I'm also one of them still because they are very pretty and relax me so much. I love teddy bear, especially.



In fact, I sometimes dream to get an enormous teddy. I imagine to hug it with tackling and jumping. Also, I want to sleep on this teddy bear. Such thing sounds very fun and dreamy for me.



My younger sister is also the one who loves stuffed toy animals so much, especially pigs. She always sleep with her stuffed toy pigs, indeed. She said they make her sleep well.

As well as my sister's case, there are some people who require something to sleep with. My classmate in middle school told me that she couldn't sleep without a comforter. For such people, many companies produce dozens of efficient body pillows.



Body pillows in the picture above are considered pretty comfortable ones to use. Poeple who tried these mentioned that they can sleep well with them. On the one hand, some people choose a comforter by considering efficiency. On the other hand, people including my friends decide to have a body pillow by considering cuteness of appearance such as teddy bear shaped one in the picture below.



There are the other kinds of body pillows more. To be honest, I don't really want to show, but it's true that there are many collectors, especially men, of these pillow in the picture below.



Sorry, but it's true that I only found such pictures of body pillows when I was searching about comforters.
