Wish list - August

I have been back in the UK for less than a week and I am already craving new things! One of these is essential, a new food processor. I have ordered the nutri-ninja from QVC with high hopes - I am sure it will live up to my expectations.

Aside from that, I am truly heartbroken about my hair. Whilst in Japan, I bought the Beauteen ash gray hair dye on a whim, thinking I would never use it. I put it on when I got home and I am in love. However it is near impossible to buy here - so I am working on figuring out a way to order it through Rakuten.

Finally I need some more lush products, and I am also excited for the new Animal Crossing release!

Toys from Japan

If you are in Tokyo you should definitely visit an arcade, they are everywhere and unlike those pesky machines at the seaside - you have a chance of winning in them.

The gang had great success in the arcades in Shinjuku, and we are now armed with some amazing new toys (yes we are grown-ups who like toys!)

You go Wego

After adventuring through Harajuku, Shinjuku and Shibuya I cam across some great fashion brands, my favorite possibly being Wego,

Wego is a stylish and affordable brand, filled to the brim with cute wearable trends from stripey culottes to mermaid shell handbags,

Lost in translation - part one

I am a day away from reality and work, after spending a whirlwind two weeks in Japan, and I can’t help but feel a little sad.

One of the weirdest things about my return to England has been the difference in culture, and not in a good way. Japanese people were so polite, during my trip I did not experience any hostility - as soon as I was back in the UK I was faced with a barrage of rude travelers at the airport. Tokyo is the biggest city I have ever visited and yet I felt as safe as I possibly could, which is surreal when I think about how unsafe I feel in London.

However, I don’t want to dwell – this is the first part of my blogs on Japan. For now I will post some beautiful pictures and in the next post I will give you some top tips, which will help if you have never been there before.
