Love CHANEL

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went to CHANEL counter at Takashimaya Nihonbashi Main Store to get cosmetics that I ran out.

These are Highlighting Powder and Eyebrow Gel.

My weakness is I cannot refuse Limited Edition.

I missed Limited Collection for Christmas so I asked is there anything for New Year.

There are few items to be introduced on 3 January 2020; new and limited for this time only.

I reserved few items to be picked up after 3 January 2020. hahaha

There is an invitation to become a friend with CHANEL on LINE app.

I registered immediately so that I can get the latest product information!

Now I can avoid missing getting new products.

I don’t know it’s a good move or not. hahaha

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went to Toraya to look for Japanese traditional confectionery to host my Singaporean friends for lunch on Sunday.

The shop sells their confectioneries at one counter and exhibits history of their confectionery based on theme.

This time, tray.

I like this flower tray among them.

Yes, we image to use Japanese designed tray for Japanese food.

However, the exhibition is introducing these trays can be used for Western food as well.

I bought dessert for lunch from there and it came with seasonal limited edition of Origami (folding paper) edition paper bag.

So cute!

I bought these.

Next year is year of Rat.

Rat designed Yokan (sweet bean jelly) and Monaka (sweet bean puff).

I like them and hope they did, too.

Nowadays I feel my eyes are dried and having difficulties to focus.

It’s very soothing and I get my focus back!

Furthermore, it’s fashionable!

To be competitive in the market, the product requires to be effective but also to be fashionable!

Saturday Quest

Posted on by sonokotchi

I woke up at 6 am.

Poor Choco, he couldn’t have his morning walk because I had a list of quests for organizing a birthday for my friend today.

– Clean

– Decorate rooms for Halloween

– Cook lunch

It was a challenging day because I had a dentist appointment at 9:30 am in Roppongi so I had few hours to complete the above.

Furthermore, I also had chiropractics/massage appointment at 11:30 am – 12:50 pm in Ebisu.

My friends are scheduled to arrive at 1:30 pm.

Between dentist and chiropractic/massage appointment, I had 45 mins gap.

I decided to have a break at Starbucks by using a complementary ticket which I received it when I purchase a tumbler.

I had a Halloween Red Night Frappuccino.

This time, I learned that it’s difficult to enjoy Frappuccino by this thin tumbler.

I struggle to mix the flavors and to get white chocolate brownies. hahaha

After I finish my chiropractics/massage, I quickly returned home to receive friends at 1:30 pm.

I prep lunch so that I can cook to serve warm food when I receive them.

We sang birthday song and enjoyed a cake from Ogawaken Shimbashi • Meguro.

It was a lovely day.

I took Choco for a long walk in the evening.

Customizing Clear Case

Posted on by sonokotchi

I love to check products at 100 yen shop.

I bought 20 g clear case at Can Do Ebisu Store and I need to differentiate the cream/contents between two.

I drew sun and moon with nail polish to indicate one for morning cream and the other for night cream.

I usually transfer to a smaller case to keep it fresh by preventing opening cream jars often.

Driving to Hayama, Kanagawa on Sunday

Posted on by sonokotchi

My car is going to be 16 years old in October 2019.

It is recommended to improve safety of the car and install a drive recorder to protect myself from dangerous drivings.

It’s time for me to get a new car and expected it to be delivered end of August.

I love my car; I’ve been driving it for nearly 16 years.

I decided to go for a drive to Hayama, Kanagawa.

It takes 60 km or one hour to reach Hayama from Tokyo.

I had a nice late lunch at ESMERALDA together with Choco.

The restaurant is located near beach.

There are many people swimming there.

Food is delicious.

I guess it’s peach season; these are peach menu.

Of course, dessert.

The place is famous for Hayama Marina, a boat house.

It was a nice driving day.

By the time we returned to Tokyo, it was dinner time.

We decided to go for light dinner, but ended up eating well because food is good.

This is my first time to dine at Osteria Nakamura Roppongi.

They are thoughtful; they served by two plates to avoid our works to share among us.

Foods are good.

Drinks are good.

And desserts are good.

I wonder when would I lose weight…?

I asked for a sweet potato cracker with all four flavors: sheep kidney, pork cheese, salmon and vegetables.

He seems to enjoy it every much.

He finished it!

I bought him sweet potato crackers and salmon for change.

Enjoy Choco! XOXO
