Tokyo Treat Box Review! ~ October 2017!

Hello my spooky pumpkins! :3

I got another Tokyo Treat box this month and I decided to do a little review of each snacks and treats on my blog! ^w^ This time, the Prince tried all the treats together with me so you get two opinions instead of just one! ~ (But we would agree on it most of the time though. XD)

This month's theme for the Tokyo Treat box was... Halloween! Of course! :3 I was super excited for this box so let's start with the review! ^w^

This was the contents of the premium box which is the biggest one! ~ They changed their boxes since last time I did a review and included some more dagashi snacks. ^w^ As usual with the bigger premium box you get a drink, a DIY candy and a small gift that isn't candy! ~

Here was the little gift included! It's some One Piece wax paper, to use with food and in your lunches and stuff! :3 The Prince really like One Piece so he was super happy to receive this in our box! ^w^

As I said we reviewed the snacks and candies one by one. ~ I wrote the review as we were trying them so it was fresh in my mind. :3

Pie No Mi ~ Halloween Version ~

Firstly, the packaging is very cute and colourful! I already tasted the matcha Pie No Mi in the March box, so I can’t wait to try the original flavour! The pie texture is super flaky and buttery, it isn’t sweet at all. The milk chocolate inside adds a touch of sweetness but it’s not too sweet. It is super tasty and the chocolate doesn’t taste cheap like the chocolate here.

Horror Mask Mint

The packaging is super spooky, it doesn’t look like a tasty snack at all. It have a mask included with the snack which I think is a little weird… XD; The candy inside is some small pink beads that look like they are made of sugar. (They say it’s supposed to be blood red though… XD;) The candy isn’t very tasty… It tastes very strongly of sour apple, it doesn’t taste sugary… The Prince melted the candy on his tongue and he enjoyed the candy much more than me and found it more sugary. Well, at least I got a spooky and funny mask. XD;

Paripipo Avocado Cheese Potato Snack

The packaging look quite fancy to me! It’s a two sided potato snack with one side flavoured with avocado and the other side flavoured with cheese. I am very excited to try this snack because I love avocado and cheese so much! ^^ It smells very strongly of cheese when I opened the package. The chips are shaped like little triangles and are hollow inside. The flavour is quite well distributed, it taste as much like cheese as it taste like avocado and both tastes very good together. It doesn’t taste artificial at all, the avocado flavour taste like a true avocado and the cheese taste like a bite of cheddar cheese. It doesn’t taste overly salty like the chips here. I really enjoyed this snack! ^w^

Mogimogi Fruits Gummy

The packaging is super cuuuute! It’s a gummy candy that is shaped like an actual grape vine and each of the sections have a different flavour. The gummi is suuuuuper sticky!! It’s kinda hard to get it out of the packaging because it’s so sticky. XD; The taste of each gummi part isn’t artifical at all, it’s not overly sweet and chemical like the candies we’ve got here. They suggest that we mix the flavours together, but both me and the Prince thought that they tasted better by their own. The taste of each flavour is super strong too, it’s like an explosion of flavours in your mouth! ~

Toppo ~ Halloween Version ~

I’ve never had Toppo snacks before so I am super excited to try it! ^^ The packaging is designed to match with the Pie No Mi one, it’s super colourful and cute! ~ It kinda looks like inverted Pocky? It taste like bretzel sticks stuffed with chocolate. The milk chocolate inside is a tasty and « fancy » as the ones in the Pie No Mi! It is a very yummy snack! ^^

Harvest Mont Blanc Choco Sandwich

It smells so good and nutty! I had choco sandwichs in the past but never in this flavour! The filling taste super naturally of chestnuts and it isn’t super sweet at all. The Prince compared the filling to a chestnut gelato! It is super creamy and the taste is not artificial. We tried to eat them by separating each biscuit and only licking the filling… It was soooo good! *v*

Satsumanma Sweet Potato & Apple Chips

It smelled like dried fruits, nothing else. XD; The sweet potato ones tasted not sugary or sweet, they didn’t seem to have added flavour at all. It was super natural and plain. The apples ones tasted super plain too, like dried apples. I found it kind of plain and boring since it only tasted like dried fruits and potatoes to me. The Prince really enjoyed this snack much more than me, he liked the taste and how it tasted super natural. ~

Melon Soda Jelly Drink

When we opened the can, it smelled strongly of natural melon and a little bit sweet. We decided to put it into a glass because of it’s jelly texture and the little jelly bits inside. It looked like a witch’s brew! XD; The texture was super weird, there was some jelly parts and some that were liquid… It was weiiird! XD; It tasted very good though, not too sweet and yummy! ^^ It seems that there’s some natural fruits inside too! It’s weird to have to chew your drink. XD; Overall it was tasty, but the texture is very special. XD;

Koala's March ~ Halloween Version ~

I already had some Koala’s March before so I already know how they are supposed to taste. ^^’’ But I am glad to have this cute Halloween packaging to collect! ~ As usual they were super tasty! The little koala biscuits are Halloween themed too, they are little koalas dressed up in Halloween costumes! ^^ Unlike the Pie No Mi and the Toppo, the chocolate inside the biscuit is the cheapest taste of them all. It was still yummy though! ^^

Waraku No Sato Chestnut Yokan

(I had to take a picture from google for this one since mine turned out really bad and we already ate the snack, sorry. ;w;)

This was the treat me and the Prince were the most excited to try! The texture was a little weird at first, but it tasted mostly good. It taste like a sweet paste, super sweet for a Japanese snack and probably the most sweet treat of the box! It tasted faintly of chestnuts and maybe a little bit of roasted red beans? It was very interesting to try!

Zombie Maker Gum

In this package there was a zombie card, some stickers for the zombie card and a small packet of gum. XD; The gum tasted like soda/ramune bubble gum, it was super tasty but it was only a white piece of gum, nothing too exciting. XD; I really liked to build my own zombie with the stickers though! ^^

Now, it's time for the DIY!

Kana Kappa Bubbly Jelly

I am super excited to try this DIY! It seems to be quite simple too! ^^ We just had to mix water and powder and to place it in the fridge for 10 minutes. The texture was bubbly and jelly-like. XD It was very weird. XD; It also tasted like grapes, but it’s a much more chemical taste than the grape flavour Japanese candy usually taste.

Now it's time for the Dagashis! They are budget snacks and they are a little smaller than the other ones. Also, their name isn't written inside the booklet since it isn't the same for each box if I understand correctly! We did our best in identifying what each of them was. XD;

Umaibo Pumpkin Potage?

We think that it was Japanese pumpkin potage flavoured? It was super yummy, a mix of sweet and salty and the spices used in the snack were really bring out the flavour! It was a very tasty Umaibo. ^^

Potato Corn Potage Snack?

It was some kind of potato chips that were super big and flaky, there was 3 in the package. It tasted like… Dixie Lee spices? XD; Maybe a bit of corn also... But it was super good!

Squid Snack?

It was literally a kind of dried squid piece. XD; The texture was a little weird and mushy… But it tasted good, a little bit salty but tasty. XD; The Prince thought that it was kind of like squid jerky?

Monster Stamp Candy?

I remember tasting these kind of stamp candies here when I was young, but I haven’t found some here in a long time! The Prince and I had fun stamping them on our hands. XD; They tasted like orange juice! ~

Dracula Gum?

It was some little round bubble gums that were blue and they tasted like ramune soda! Ramune soda is one of my favourite flavours so I was super happy! XD; The Prince hate this flavour so he let me keep the leftover ones. ^^

That was my little review of each snacks from the Tokyo Treat October box! :3 Overall I really enjoyed most of the snacks included, I really like that they included some dagashis in their box now so we have more snacks and candies to try! ^w^ I already ordered the November box, so stay tuned for another review next month! ~

Until next time my sweet spider gummy candies! ^o^

My Favourite Lolita Print(s)! ~

Hello my soft bunny tails! ~

Today I wanted to write a blog post about a subject from the Lolita Challenge list! ^w^ I picked up the subject randomly and the one that was picked was...

My Favourite Lolita Print!

It's a super exciting subject for me, because I think that prints are becoming a lot less common (at least from what I feel) in Lolita fashion during the last few years... However, I really love printed dresses, especially the overly sugary pastel explosion ones! XD;

So it's not really a surprise that my favourite print EVER is...

Milky Planet, of course! ^w^

I am lucky enough to own not only one, but two replica jumperskirts of this print. :3 One in lilac (which was my first ever dream dress that I could actually own and wear) and one in pink too! ~ The detail I love the most about this print is the melty rainbow. ~ I also love all the hype about this print, it's a very iconic sweet Lolita print, probably the most iconic from Angelic Pretty, at least to me! ^w^

I thought that only share one print would be a little boring and short for a blog post and since I love prints so much I decided to share my Top 5 favourite prints with you also! ~

My 2nd favourite print is...

Dream Fantasy!

You can probably guess why I love this print a lot too! It's because of the rainbows, again! XD; This print make my heart skip a beat when it was released. ;o; The bunny plushies are just too adorable and I love the sky theme and the lovely fluffy clouds also. ~ It's a very soft and dreamy print and it makes me feel so good. :3

My 3rd favourite print is...

Sugary Carnival!

The thing that I love the most about this print is the swirly candy all through it, but especially the ones at the bottom with the little whipped cream! It just look so neat and perfect. ~ I also really love the little marshmallow shaped like bunnies, fruits, hearts and stars on the print too! ^w^ I also own two replicas of this print, one in lilac and one in pink! ~

My 4th favourite print is...

Toy Parade!

This print was one of the first prints I fell in love with when I discovered Lolita fashion! It's not really my favourite toy print (I actually love Toy Fantasy a little more), but it hold a very special place in my heart. ~ I really love how the lovely pastel colours would complement eachother, the cute balloons, plushies, the rocking horse, the little toy cube that is just so adorable to me! XD;

My 5th favourite print is...

Jewelry Jelly!

This print is just so wonderful to me! ;o; I love the gradient effect in the background! I also really like how they managed to make the jellies look like actual jellies with the shading/colouring. The whipped cream details are also super adorable and I love how it separates the bottom part from the rest of the print! ~

I hope you enjoyed discovering my favourite prints ever! ^w^ As I said earlier I really love sweet Lolita prints and I can just hope that one day Angelic Pretty will go back to their sweet sugary aesthetics. XD;

Until next time my precious sparkly jewels! :3

Apple picking at l'Île-aux-Coudres! ~

Hello my fluffy apple pies! ~

As you may already know since I mentioned it in my last blog post, I went apple picking with the Prince's family last weekend at l'Ile-aux-Coudres! ^w^ It was the first time I went there so I was super excited to discover the place. :3

I took quite a lot of pictures, but sadly my phone died in the middle of our trip. ;w; But I still wanted to share the ones I took! ^w^

The Prince and I were super excited! ^w^ I also brought my new Halloween Pusheens with me on our little trip. :3

The ride from Saguenay to Charlevoix is a little less than 2 hours long. I am happy I didn't had to drive this year, but since I am not used to be in a car without me driving, I was feeling a little dizzy and sick. ;w; I was glad to finally arrive in Baie-Saint-Paul! ^w^''

We first went to the mall. ~ The Prince and I got a pumpkin spice latté (because we wanted one for so long and it was very suiting to the activity XD) and we visited the littles boutiques in Baie-Saint-Paul's mall. It is a small mall and it looks like a factory from outside, but inside there's some little cute shops with so many treasures! *v*

After that we went at two little cheese-making farms and boutiques. ~ We decided to stock up there since it's way more cheap than to buy them from the store in Saguenay, so we got some fancy cheese and some cured meat for the Prince. ^w^

After our little shopping spree, we took the boat to l'Ile-aux-Coudres!

Me and the Prince took some selfies. XD; You can see the island from far away!

I am used to the boat in Tadoussac so it wasn't very impressive for me as it is pretty much the same thing. XD; I was hoping for a more spectacular boat ride to be quite honest. XD;

We finally arrived to l'Ile-aux-Coudres and we went straight to the orchard!

Of course I had to take some selfies with the apple trees! ^w^

It was surprisingly sunny and warm on that day! ~ I was comfortable with my short sleeved blouse with the warm autumn sun. :3 (But I regretted it later since I got sick this week. ;w;)

Also, we went apple picking earlier than usual in the year, so there was still some perfect and beautiful fruits in the bottom of the apple trees! When we go, we usually don't get some beautiful fruits unless we climb to reach them (which I am always afraid of ~w~). But it help that we went to a lesser known orchard, it was calm and even if it was on a Saturday, there wasn't that many people there compared to when we go to l'Ile D'Orléans!

The Prince picked waaay more apples than me, I was too busy trying to get the perfect pictures. XD;

After our bag was full, I wanted to do a little improvised photoshoot in the orchard. ~ The Prince was my photographer, as usual. ^w^ (Thanks for bearing with my picky self! XD)

I really liked my outfit on that day! ^w^ It seemed like the perfect outfit to go apple picking. ~ It's the first time that I go apple picking and I wear a plain main piece, I usually wear my gingham pieces. But I thought that my red dress paired with my blue blouse would match perfectly with the colour of the sky and the orchard. :3

I also took pictures with my new Halloween Pusheens! *v*

They were so happy to get on that trip with us and to get to help us pick apples! ^w^

I also decided to take more pictures with the Prince while we were waiting for everyone to finish to fill up their apple bags! ~

Haha, we had so much fun! ^w^

It was really nice to explore a new orchard and a new place! ~ The apples aren't as big as the other orchard we usually go to and the bags are a little more pricy, but the place is a lot more quaint and calm. :3 I really liked it! ^w^

The orchard have also a cider house affiliated with it, so we went there after that! We tasted so many types of cider. I don't know exactly how many, but they make probably over 20 different kinds of cider! We got some for us and some to give as gifts also. :3

We also stopped at the bakery in l'Ile-aux-Coudres to get some bread for the night's dinner. ~ And after that we were ready to come back. ;o; We had a nice dinner at the Prince's sister's house all together with the food we gathered from our little trip. :3 It was so yummy and I was very happy after this long day. ~

Overall I had a really nice day apple picking and discovering l'Ile-aux-Coudres! I liked the orchard a lot since it was less busy and the place is more beautiful to me. ~ I can't wait to go back again! ^w^

Until next time my cinnamon-filled apple buns! :3
