Three years ago I wrote about 7 cities I hoped to visit in Japan.
This year I checked off 4 of them—discovering more than I expected. 🌸 I've put together a list of the 7 cities I still want to explore next time.
What destination is still calling your name?

When visiting Japan was simply a faraway wish that I wished one day I would get to accomplish, if I ever managed to visit Kyoto, I would go to Fushimi Inari Taisha and I would walk through the thousands vermilion Torii Gates all the way up to the top.

I'm back with manga reviews and I'm bringing quite the fun read for you all. I normally don't favour school life reads, but this piqued my interest as the main female character is the secret daughter of a Yakuza leader, so I gave this one a shot right away!

It’s been a long time since I last reviewed a book. I thought that one of the books I couldn’t get to back then would be quite appropriate to get to now, and that is Maneki Neko: The Japanese Secret to Good Luck and Happiness by Nobuo Suzuki.

For those who don’t know, I recently went on a trip to #Japan, and it was the most amazing & rewarding experience I’ve had a in a really long time. I’ve prepared some tips for first-time travellers who are going to Japan soon and might be a little nervous (like me). Enjoy! www.lifeisaboxofmochi.com

Not really short of cute comical moments—despite the brutality of the story—The Blue Wolves of Mibu Vol 1 is the perfect introduction to the world of the Shogunate.

It’s March!
I’ve been really excited to share the theme for this month, and I can finally reveal it: it’s a vintage coffee theme!
I’ve tried experimenting a little bit with materials this time, and this theme features a quote from one of my favourite books, “Before the Coffee Gets Cold”. 😌

How was your first week of January? It’s very cold today, but I’m keeping myself warm with a hot cup of tea 🫖
Here’s my sleep/dream log, and my read/watch list for the month! I’ve got a long list of K-dramas and books that I’d like to check out, I can’t wait to fill this in! 😁
