Box of Kawaii from Japan As previously mentioned, my sweet Ashley moved to Japan recently. We had planned on visiting London together in 2015, but instead we have opted for me to come visit her in Japan during that time and do London when the timing is more favorable for both of us. We recently swapped Christmas packages across the world and these are a few of the cool things that came in mine.

The ramen noodle cup has the cutest pig on it, saving it for lunch one day at work. The Pokemon snack crisps were inhaled by Savanna and I. They tasted like a sweet coconut cereal. In fact, the girls loved all the cool Pokemon stuff to pieces. Green tea KitKats are a hit around here too. And I may have ate the whole sleeve of green tea chocolate chip cookies.... but it is green tea, therefore, healthy. The cute bear on the package told me so. The three sticks on the left are like one giant Cheeto Puff. The one on the far left lasted just like sweet corn on the cob. Strangely delicious. The melon packets flavor milk, and both girls approved. The green apple chewy candy magically disappeared in a day, as did the long strip of soft dissolving candies. The stuff on the far right is like cotton candy with Pop-Rock like crackles in it, made to dissolve in a drink. We have not experimented with that yet. David, Ashley's son and the girls' buddy, picked them out chopsticks and cases. The girls have already taken them to school, as they are studying Asia and Japan. The egg timer is SO DERN CUTE. Actually. It all is. The chip clips have sliders that can show the day and month and the sticky memos are adorable animals. The cuteness is overwhelming. I may come back wearing Hello Kitty shoes with pompoms in my hair and extra blush on my cheeks when I return from Japan. Just bear with me if you see me in public. Two Harry Potter hairbows. Yes, I, a 34 year old lady will be wearing these. They were one of my favorite things in the box <3 next to all the sticky notes. I also ate all the amazing little individually wrapped crunchy things scattered in the bottom of the box. Whatever those were Ashley, I was like a Bumpass hound demolishing the Old Man's Christmas turkey in A Christmas Story. Gone in a flash.
