Burberry Blue & Black Label

Burberry Blue Label and Black Label was a brand under the Burberry London, and it was exclusively for sales in Japan only. The designs of Blue Label are much younger, brighter and colorful than the monotonous designs of Burberry London. Blue Label are design for younger, and Black Label was design for men.

I have 2 Black Label sling bag (18,000 Yen each)and 1 Blue Label handbag (22,000 Yen). Hopefully will get my forth from Blue Label very soon!!

These days garden decorations include a lot more things. There are fancy mailboxes if you are not happy with the red US mailbox. You can have garden flags to mark out different plantation patches, or just for fun. There are sundials that can be based in the gardens.

English Hi-Tea in Cosmo Lounge, KL Hilton was my favourite. And it was also one of the reason I join The Diamond Club, with the Diamond Club membership, I entitles 50% discount for all the restaurant in participate Hilton group of hotel when 2 pax was dine in. their term of discount is free for 1 pax, so the discount tier will be, 50% when 2 to dine, 30% when 3 to dine, 25% when 4 to dine and 20% for 5 and above. Besides, I also entitles for one night stay at either KL Hilton, PJ, Kuching, or Phuket and a 1kg cake of my choice!

Sakura

Sakura

I was so happy when I first step in the Ueno Park, especially when I saw the Sakura was in front of me! Actually there is nothing special to the petal, but I think what make it special and popular is its limited 7-10 days blooming. The Sakura blooming forecast will be out by end of February or early March, the whole blooming period was start at February in Okinawa and end in May at Hokkaido.

In country side, water facing houses always had decks and arbors. The ones that did not face water had tree house. Now a days, there are backyard playsets available to keep the garden playing spirit alive.

Furikake

DO you know what is Furikake? Furikake is Japanese rice seasoning.

I bought a few pack of Furikake during our trip in Japan. There are Furikake for children and adult with different ingredients. I prefer to buy the Furikake for kids, the packing was nice and printed with cartoon character like Hello Kitty, Mickey, Winnie the Pooh and Snoopy.
the Snoopy Furikake was the most special one, as there is ingredients made to the cute small snoopy head.

When you go to Isetan, Jusco or any Japaneses store, you will find that most of the furikake was selling more than RM15. you know how much i bought it in Japan? It was about 200-300 Yen only!

Boots No 7 Daily V Purifying Sauna Mask

Boots No 7 Sauna Mask

This is another favourite Boots product I like, No 7 Daily V Purifying Sauna Mask with Vitamin Pro-B5. The mask was suitable for all skin type. It was a self heating mask to absorb excess oils and gently open pores for deep cleansing. The texture of the mask was like lacquer and thick, the heating make me feel like I was in the sauna room. My face looks clean and whiter after I wash off the mask.

Again, it was bought in Thailand, about RM50 for a pack of 5.

Boots Intensive Hand & Nail Cream

Boots hand lotion

I bought this hand cream when I travel to Phuket few years ago. It was the most moisture hand lotion I have use before. Boots products was pretty cheap in Thailand although it was a UK brand, I remember I bought this hand lotion was sold at about RM6+ (after the conversion) and it was the last tube on the rack. :)

The hand cream was not oily and it was absorb into the skin immediately right after I apply it, and leave my hand silky smooth.

Gone are the days of rubber flooring. It all depends on your preferences now. If you like the country house feeling, you can have wood flooring. And if you wish for a more contemporary setup, cork flooring is your thing.

Kobe Beef

If you are travel to Osaka, then you should make a day trip to Kobe and try the most famous Kobe beef!

???????KOBE was located at Kobe, reachable by both subway and JR. They offer the cheapest Kobe beef set lunch among the town, about 2980Yen! Of cause you can pay more to try the better grade of Kobe beef. The Kobe beef was cooked in teppanyaki style, anyhow, it was just so YUMMY!!! Most of the Kobe beef restaurant served other beef as well, so remember to order Kobe beef steak instead of just steak.

The menu
