Hello Happy Bunny

From last month the Rhino Trail has seen several rhinos specially designed by local artists in Exeter and along the English Rivera. I saw two rhinos last time I had a shopping trip in Exeter. Autumn season also sees Starbucks bring back the Pumpkin Spice Latte, a perfect way to warm up in the cold weather!

I was feeling a lack of Japanese snacks so I ordered the Sumo snack lucky bag from Tofu Cute (£49.99). So many different things and a free tofu badge is included. I would have liked a drink included (ramune soda?) bur nevertheless, a great mix of things!

The last Kawaii Box I received in my three month subscription arrived at the beginning of September. This time, I got… Duck letter writing set, diamond gel pen, sushi sticker set, glasses hairclip and lipstick eraser… Cupcake pouch, phone bumper, bunny stationery set and a set of rings… Octopus DIY Candy set, ice cream keyring and a lolly plush charm. This box wasn’t perfect. The rings seem cheap, they arrived broken and it is not something I would wear anyway. The phone bumper states it is only used for iPhone 3, which is a very old phone! I struggle to put it on my own phone so I fail to see what use this is for! Maybe a weird, oversized bracelet? The things I always like in the Kawaii Box are the cute stationery and snacks, this time is no exception. I always feel excited to use the DIY candy sets, and the duck letter set has got me into writing more letters to my friends and family – a much cuter way to communicate! This month’s box was disappointing. I feel there are

On the back of Pokemon Go, there seems to be an increase of Pokemon merchandise everywhere. I got this Pikachu portable phone charger from Currys at £17.99, perfect for on the go (and playing Pokemon Go!)  Pokemon XYZ has just ended in Japan, and it is a fantastic ending (I won't give it away!) - the last few episodes are especially emotional and a great end to what has been an action packed season! A lot of people say it is the greatest season since Indigo League! The Sun and Moon anime trailers has been appearing online, and it seems like a big backward step in terms of the storytelling. A lot of people have mocked the animation style, in particular, Ash's design. Time will tell if the anime can gain as much fans as XY/XYZ...

This week I began to decorate my office with Halloween origami with a little help from YouTube… Bat DIYwithME-  https://youtu.be/Swxn9hwzQWw Ghosts Paper Kawaii –  https://youtu.be/D1Rq8dOypOA  and  https://youtu.be/SX-l-CUJ1Qk Have a great Halloween everyone!

On a Sunday afternoon, Latte and Lunch was quite busy, which shows how popular it is. Unfortunately, we had just missed breakfast so we decided to try a cream tea (£3.75 for one). With good quality tea and scone (would be even better if the scone had been warmed up), it makes for a tasty and inexpensive afternoon treat!
