Japan Crate Mini, Volume 9

For those of you that love Japanese snacks or candy, this subscription delivers them monthly within the US and internationally to select countries. The crate for March included 2 snack items and 3 candy items. 
What's inside:



Yuko No Yado Chips  - If you've tried Japanese rice crackers, these are similar to them. The flavor is a mix of sweet and salty. The name of the chips means "snow inn", and the triangular shape supposedly gives the appearance of a snow topped roof.





Yaokin Roll Candy, Strawberry and Green Apple - These are the gummy candy version of Fruit by the Foot. The Green Apple was my favorite of the 2.




7 Stick Choco Cream - Wafer sticks filled with chocolate. What's not to love?!


Monster Stamp Candy (Dagashi Kashi) - Playing with your food is highly encouraged with this! Moisten the image on the bottom of the piece to use as an actual stamp. When you're done, you can eat it. The flavor reminds me of those Wonka Bottle Caps. They're a bit hard, so I let it dissolve a bit before chewing.




I never know what to expect with these boxes, which makes them all the more fun to receive. Volume 10's box came in last week, so I'll be digging into it for a review real soon. If you're interested in trying out Japan Crate, use code MSA5 to receive $5 off your first Original or Premium crate (code courtesy of My Subscription Addiction).

Hello Kitty Cafe Truck at Santana Row

Image
Before heading to a bbq in the afternoon, much of my morning was spent waiting for the Hello Kitty Cafe truck at Santana Row in San Jose. This was the 3rd of 4 stops it would be making in the Bay Area for April. It was at the Cherry Blossom Festival a few weeks prior. That was where I saw it for the first time last year. Long story short, I was the first person in line for their Northern California debut, and it was totally unplanned. I knew I'd be there early, but not so much that everyone else had no clue where to find them. Goes to show that researching ahead of time (and also several years of experience at SD Comic Con) pays off! Although I wasn't first this time, I did happen to be among the first 10 people in line. Lucky number 7 to be exact. 2 other friends joined me before the truck opened for business. I didn't have too much of a haul planned, but I did want to get my friend one of their mugs as a belated bridal shower gift. I also got her one of the cookie sets,...

Urban Decay Mini Haul

Image
I'm currently in the middle of a no-buy for this month. Been doing a-OK so far, but of course I have a list going of things I'd like to purchase once it's done. Here are a few items that I've purchased from Urban Decay's site last month. L-R: NAKED nail color in Instinct, Vice Liquid Lipstick in Amulet, Vice Liquid Lipstick in Trivial NAKED Nail Color in Instinct - When UD's nail color line released, this shade sold out for a while. It was finally re-stocked last month, so I made sure to jump on it. The shade, a medium pink taupe with hint of pearl, is very pretty. Now I know why it flew out of their inventory.  Vice Liquid Lipsticks in Amulet and Trivial - I didn't go overboard when the Vice Liquid Lipsticks came out, but I will say that these have awesome staying power and comfortable wear. I own Amulet in both tube and liquid forms because this brick rose shade is LIFE. You won't blame me once you see the swatch! Trivial is a pink nude, a...
