Tokyo 2025 Haul!

April 08, 2025 • 2 comments • • • • • • • • • •

Since I'm trying to downsize my things at home I tried not to go overboard on shopping this time.... well tried might be the keyword here ^^; In reality there were a couple of basics that I still needed in my wardrobe, and then a number of impulse buys that I just couldn't help myself in the end.

Closet Child


Liz Lisa Parasol Dress

Since this print is pretty old by now, I found it for a really good price at Closet Child! It's not a print that I had my eye on beforehand, but it's so charming in person and the back shirring is so stretchy and comfy. I was so happy with how comfy it fit when I tried it on!

9/10 purchase: I didn't need it, but it was a good price and I'm positive I'll wear it a ton!

3/3/25

Flight to Tokyo was pretty uneventful except for all the screaming children surrounding our seats. Seriously, I have never been on a flight with so many small kids within 1 row of us. I think we only got about 5 precious moments of actual silence the entire flight I also didn't pack enough snacks and early in the flight Zipair mysteriously sold out of most of the snacks I wanted to buy in-flight too. I was so cranky!

We landed at night and went right to sleep after unpacking and doing our first Lawson run. I was so happy they still had all the Mofusand items from the 2/22 cat day collaboration!

Tokyo 2025 Capsule Wardrobe

April 07, 2025 • No comments • •

Last month was my first trip back to Tokyo since 2023. Since my wardrobe has grown considerably since then (and I'm trying to save money lately ) I packed a little more clothes this time only expecting to buy 1 or 2 outfits. In reality I went a bit overboard compared to that, but not too bad! I decided to pack only solid colored basics because I wanted to stand out a little less. But, once I was there I kept wishing I had a print skirt or dress to reach for!  Lesson learned for next time!

Catching up on the new year's himekaji challenge, I tried wearing a piece I rarely wear. As one of my only black dresses I tend to go more gothic with it and only wear it when the occasion calls for it (like watching a horror movie or going to a halloween event) but I wanted to challenge myself to coord it in a more every day look and I LOVE how it turned out!

 Since social media is crumbling I thought I should start blogging again! I will try to do more micro-blogs rather than the longform posts that I normally do (but I'm sure some of my posts will be long anyway ) 

I recently cleaned my room and hemmed my curtains so I could take cute selfies!




Unfortunately I only took 2 selfies so far and my room is already messy again 
Oh well, that's life!

【Diet】What I eat in a week

April 01, 2024 • No comments •

It's been almost 6 months since I started my diet, and I'm happy to say: it is working!! I've lost 10% of my starting weight, and my weight loss has been a bit slow but extremely steady. That plateau I thought I'd hit in my first post? When I went back and looked at it in a 3-month context, it was clearly never a plateau at all. Since then, whenever I think I'm hitting a wall, I make a point not to make any changes to my diet or exercise for a whole month. Almost every time, the daily/weekly weigh ins were misleading and my month to month trend is still great. I did truly stall last month, after I got a bit lazy and tried to eat intuitively instead of counting calories. But I still waited about a month just to see what would happen, and I'm glad that I did. Now I know both that I'm able to basically maintain my weight by intuition alone (which is a great sign!) but I'm also confident that the cuts I'm making are truly necessary and making a clear difference.

Anyway, like I said before my main diet is built around having a 300 calorie breakfast and two 500 calorie meals, giving me some wiggle room for my little treats. In reality, I'm actually not often hungry for 3 full meals, so most days I tend to skip either breakfast or lunch, which gives me more allowance for the ✨ treats ✨

But, going back to my 3 big goals:

  1. I don't want to feel hungry
  2. I want to continue to enjoy eating
  3. I don't want to plan my life around it
So somedays I do need all 3 meals, and I just snack a bit less to compensate. It just depends on where my body's at that day!
