Bag Week: Wallet and Point Cards Focus
My beautiful fox wallet from Urban Outfitters is my loyal shopping companion. It contains the secrets to bargain shopping and special extras. Let me show you inside!
New Zealand, American and Japanese money are but some of the currencies I have acquired on my travels with this wallet.
1. Plaza Pass: Plaza is the best makeup/international food/cute goodies chain of stores in Japan (in my opinion). They recently started stocking Essie nail polishes so YOU KNOW I gotta whip my point card out for a new summer colour and a bag of whitakers chocolate.
2. Nitori: This store is Japan's answer to Ikea... although they do also have Ikea. It's affordable clean and simple, DIY furniture and my house is full of it. In fact, I'm sitting on some of it currently. If you're moving to/living in Japan you have to get yourself a card.
3. Chiku-ya Stamp Card: My favourite lunch stop for a reasonably priced but gourmet packed lunch (bento). It's usually packed but for good reason. They have everything from salads to fried foods to rice and noodles. Plus, they claim to be healthy. I choose to trust them.
4. Sephora VIB: I am a VIB and I am not ashamed that I achieved this in a week away in Hawaii. Maybe a little. But it definitely worth it because their numerous samples and freebies only available to VIBs is the perfect extra to a basket full of goodies. If you love makeup, you need a Sephora card. They deliver to Japan too!
5. Afternoon Tea: Afternoon Tea is not, in fact, a food store. It's a beautiful kitchen/house store with items ranging from mugs to furniture to clothing. They are pretty expensive so getting savings where you can is important. This is my favourite store in Japan, hands down.
6. Fine Stamp Card: Fine is on of the local supermarkets. It's perfectly placed on my route home so even though it isn't the cheapest I always stop by after a long day of work for a sushi platter and some snacks. Because it isn't cheap I make good use of my stamp card with regular 500yen ($5NZD) savings.
7. Mercato Mabuchi: The best international food store in Hamamatsu. I love Mercato. It's right down the road from me and caters for wine and cheese lovers on the most part (aka. not me). My favourite stock is their local, hand-made gyoza (potstickers) and their wide range of different snacks, pasta and drinks from all over the world.
I hope I've put you in the shopping spirit... I certainly am. So I'm off to Mercato for some tacos!
See you all later!
TO MORDOR ~Travel Vlog~
When I was in New Zealand for Christmas I did a bunch of trips to places near my home town. This is one of them. I went to visit our family friends in Ohakune and we ended up doing a walk in the NZ nature, driving up into Mordor which looked more like the Misty Mountain and seeing a beautiful waterfall, and playing with some cuties ^^
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Bag Week: The Indestructible Bag
This beauty is also from Parfois (why oh why don't you send to Japan?!). Whenever I go out with this bag I always get compliments. Part of its beauty is that even though I got it on sale 2 years ago in Kraków it still looks shiny and new.
Most of my most beloved bags break zips and wear out long before that but this one is still perfect as the day I bought it.
It's also deceptively big and carries a lot. When traveling Europe with it I had spare clothes in with my toiletries and all the essentials and it still zipped up.
Tomorrow will be my last bag of bag week that isn't actually a bag. Look forward to going through my wallet and all my point cards...

The cold gets worse but I had a good day. Look forward to some 'adult babysitter' war stories at some point in the near future. Provided I won't get fired for sharing them... Actually... Hoping I will get fired for sharing them ;)
