Popin' Cookin' Sushi ♡

Happy New Year ! To start off this new 2014 year I wanted to make a new fun blog post ! (This is not a tutorial but an overview and tips.) 

 For Christmas, I got a very cute DIY Japanese candy called Popin' Cookin' ! There are many other kinds of Popin' Cookin' (Ice cream, Bento, Choco Neri etc.) but I picked the sushi one because it is my favorite. So in this blog I'm going to explain how this works. (Popin' Cookin' can be bought online, Little Tokyo, or the Japanese Market in Irvine.)

 On the back of the box there's instructions but as you can see they're all in Japanese. Expecting most of you to not know how to read the language, there are also pictures to follow or even some tutorials on YouTube. 

When you open the packet there are several different items. 6 mixes, a tray, a dropper, and a small spoon. The only thing you need to supply is water. 

Following the instructions you should end up with this when you're done mixing all of the mixes in the designated compartments. (Recommend doing the sushi first so you can do everything else as it forms.)

Making the fish eggs is probably the most fun part ! Take your dropper and fill in up with the red solution you just made then drop it into the light blue magical solution and create the fish eggs !

 When you're done with everything arrange the sushi as it is on the box and there you go ! A yummy treat that looks like sushi but tastes like candy !

Thanks for reading !

Anime/Manga ♡

                     This is my very first blog post which is very exciting ! I must remind you all that I'm very new to this and I'm still trying to figure all of this out. Anyway, let's get to the subject of this post….

                       Some people (in real life) ask me to recommend or list some favorite animes/mangas and so, for fun, I'm going to list my top 5 and leave my personal comments and an opinion on each of them. (Keep in mind the pictures displayed are from only the animes though my comments are about both.)

  

                                       5. Fruits Basket
    This anime/manga is cute cute cute! It's definitely a must-see or must-read. It's heartwarming and at some point I caught myself crying. If you're looking for a cute, romantic, and animal-friendly anime/manga I definitely recommend this one !

 

                                         4. Sailor Moon

            Do I really need to explain why this is in my top 5? Nope! Sailor Moon is beyond cute and a classic! If you're an otaku and haven't watched/read Sailor Moon before you need to! Immediately! (I also cosplayed as Sailor Mars this past Halloween.) 

3. Black Butler

         Black Butler is utterly dark and interesting. This is the best supernatural manga and anime ever. Who wouldn't want a handsome and perfect demon as a butler? I love it and I'm still continuing to finish it. 

2. Kaichou wa Maid-sama! 

  Can I just say this is an amazing and charming anime/manga!! After the first episode/chapter I completely fell in love with the two characters Misaki Ayuzawa and Usui Takumi. Their love is very unique and makes you want to melt into a puddle of cuteness/happiness. If you love romance and comedy, this is perfect!

                                    1. Say I love You

         …..This is my all time favorite anime and manga ! Due to watching this my whole aspect on love completely changed. It is so sweet, mushy, gentle, and cute.  I remember crying so much throughout this. The characters are absolutely relatable and send out good messages about love and life.  

Sorry if this blog post wasn't the best and too short ! Better ones to come ! 

Love,
