~Pretty 3D Sticker Sheets~

Sooo, I am an avid sticker collector, I buy sheet

after sheet of them at once~

And at Kinokuniya in Los Angeles I found some that

I fell in love with~ I'm always looking for more creative

sheets that are not just flat and well normal.

[ Sorry for the HORRIBLE photo quality hopefully my new phone will prevent this ]

Trust me there were more then three I wanted, but at

$5.55 and $6.95 a sheet... my wallet was crying for me

to stop~

The two that have 3D stickers, are more like Cabochons~

A flat but 3D deco, made of plastic, which is so cute and

adorable~!

The brand for the deco stickers are Crux

and for the puffy bunnies Kamio~

You can visit their websites here ( Both in Japanese )

~Takoyaki Tanota~

Another great find at one of my favorite shopping centers~

Is the lovely new Takoyaki Tanota Truck they just rolled in~

It's a lovely little street cart that serves up fresh Takoyaki,

which if you didn't know are grilled octopus balls~!

They have octopus and some assorted veggies inside, and

they top it off with some mayo, okonomiyaki sauce, green onion,

bonito flakes, and such~

which is optional by the way~!

They come in a 8 piece or a 12 piece I believe, the 8 piece only

costs $4~!

Such a great price~!

I don't know how many manga readers out there know about these

large monthly magazines, but these are a real favorite of mine~

From right - left they are:

Two issues of Ciao, Ribon, then Nakayoshi~

These mangas are usually aimed for girls around the age of 16.

And they are entirely in Japanese ( which is good for me )

And since they are aimed at younger girls all the Kanji written has Hiragana

counterparts next to it for easy reading~

Another thing that is interesting about these are that they are very thick,

they remind me of a standard phonebook.

All of them also come with a lovely thing called ふろく or Furoku.

Which are presents inside of these mangas that can only be obtained

from the books themselves.

I purchase these from two different stores.

I suggest driving to the physical store to purchase, it is cheaper and also

Most of their magazines/manga they will only sell in subscription form online and it gets pricey~

 

Each issue costs around $9

~Curry House~

One of my favorite places to eat lunch and enjoy

some of my good friend's company is Curry House~

You can choose from a wide variety of curry's and meats,

also different toppings such as boiled egg~!

My favorite is the Menchi Katsu~ I like mine with Mild Curry,

and a slice of breaded beef on top~!

I would recommend dressing more for hotter weather~

They never seem to have air conditioning when I go hahaa~

~Yahoo & Friends~ Beanie Boos ~

Yoohoo & Friends and TY who recently created Beanie Boo's

made these adorable little stuffed animals~!

I couldn't help myself when I saw these little guys~

I instantly grabbed my wallet and started forking over my money~

hahaa~ But it was worth it~!

Beanie Boo's also range in size from 13 inch to 4/5 inch

to a little 2/3 inch keychain~!

Yoohoo & Friends make some noises when squeezed~

This cute little guys are sold at my work Valencia Pharmacy

but can also be purchased online at:
