    How I Got My Skintype Wrong MY WHOLE LIFE!

    März 20, 2015

    Hey There, After two weeks of social busy bee’ing and gloomy dark weather in Berlin, I finally had the time (and also the weather! Hate to be that dependent on the daylight…) to record another Youtube video 😀 Still not comfortable, but we’re getting there. I guess. Maybe.  If you’ve been a reader of this…

しもなだ・ the closest station to the sea 🚉🌊

Only 18 trains a day stop in this unmanned station in Ehime prefecture. Riding this train with the Seto Sea to your right as far as you can see felt like I was riding the train in Spirited Away. You need to be committed to get off at Shimonada though - your next train will arrive in 2 hours and there is only a small coffee truck and a few houses nestled in the mountains to your left. Would you visit this station? 🤍

Exploring the streets of Kyōto. 👘🌸 Are yo Exploring the streets of Kyōto. 👘🌸 

Are you also dreaming of wandering the historical streets of Kyōto in a kimono? Here are some tips, so save this post for your next trip to Japan 🇯🇵 Let me know if you have any other questions 🫶🏼

Is it okay to wear a kimono as a foreigner? Absolutely! As long as you are respectful about the whole experience and act accordingly people will be happy to see you take part in their culture. When I lived here, my friends always wanted to dress up in kimono together 👘 Please be aware that there is a huge difference in wearing a kimono versus the geisha profession. 

How much does it cost? You can rent a kimono for as little as 2000-3000¥ for a whole day. Many shops have different pland available that range from basic, include hair and/or make-up all the way up to a custom experience. If you travel during a popular season (spring and autumn) make sure to get a reservation early to not miss out on your preferred time and place. 

How many hours can I keep the kimono?Usually people go to the rental shop in the morning and return the kimono in the evening that allows them to keep it for 6~8 hours. Some places allow you to keep it overnight or return it to your hotel. Be aware that walking in the sandals can get painful after a while (my feet were dying at the end but we actually walked around for 8hrs 🙈)

Will I stand out wearing a kimono? You rarely see a Japanese person wearing a kimono in downtown Tokyo. However, in Kyoto, many locals and domestic tourists put on a kimono especially when they visit historic neighborhoods, temples and shrines, so you will fit right in! I actually never saw so many people, Japanese and tourists alike, wearing a kimono like I did in Kyoto. 

Big thank you to @joshflyfy for taking a million pictures that day and my kimono partner in crime @jentonic.private ❤️🫶🏼

Oh dang(o)! 🍡🍡 When I saw these giant dango Oh dang(o)! 🍡🍡

When I saw these giant dango at the @coach_japan pop up store I squealed with excitement 💞 It is the cutest I have ever seen!! You can see this display only from March 7 ~ April 2 in Harajuku. If you take a picture inside the store and post it on your socials you will be rewarded with a dango of your choice (we chose sakura 🌸 but they had six different flavors) 

Have you tried Japanese dango before? Most popular during spring is Hanami Dango 花見団子 made for a picnic under the cherry blossom trees signaling the coming of spring.

🌸 The pink color represents spring and flowers, such as cherry blossoms and peach blossoms.

🐇 The white color represents the last snow that is melting away. This is to say that it is time to say goodbye to winter. 

🍃 The green color represents the green colors that follows spring. it is officially getting warmer and it is time to go outside and enjoy nature!

Celebrate the cherry blossom season visiting the  @coach_japan full of spring inspiration 💞

In full bloom RIGHT NOW (March 17th) 🌸 It is qu In full bloom RIGHT NOW (March 17th) 🌸 It is quite rare to find pink sakura in the middle of March in Tōkyō so run don't walk!!

📍Shioiri Park (汐入公園)

Have you ever heard of Shioiri Park near Sumida River when researching sakura spots in Tōkyō? I lived here for many years and actually never heard of this park before!  It has a gorgeous row of cherry blossom trees along the river and also a great view on the Skytree as well! When we went here, there were only a handful of people here. It is a great spot away from the hectic atmosphere of Tōkyō and you will find plenty of space for your picnic blanket here 🧺🌸

Big thank you to @madnan.creations for showing me this spot and taking all the videos!! 🥰❤️

"Do you know? The speed at which cherry blossoms f "Do you know? The speed at which cherry blossoms fall… 5 centimeters per second. At what speed must I live… to be able to see you again?" 🌸🍃

Honestly, when the reopening of Japan's borders was postponed for what seemed like eternity, I felt like I would never see my best friend and second home again. Even now, a few days away, it seems so surreal. I used to go back at least every other year since I first set foot in this country in 2009 and now I haven't been back for five whole years.
