When I finally got the keys to my flat back in 2015, the excitement soon turned to ‘what is that smell in the bathroom?!’ When I bought my flat I bought it sold as seen, there was no mould, no smell. So what the hell was this?! I found mould like I had never seen…

Hello and welcome to my lifestyle blog!
I thought, since you were kind enough to visit my little world, you'd like to know a little about me. Well, as you can tell from my name I'm from Japan but I've lived in London for most of my life.
You can take the girl from Japan but you can't take the Japan out of the girl. Which in this case means I am tiny; vertically at least. I make up for my demeanour with two massive Ragdoll cats, Kenzo and Kiko. Well three cats if you include my boyfriend, Mikey aka Papa cat. Yes, this sounds incredibly sad but there we have it.
I'm a lawyer by day, masked vigilante by night. Ok, the last part is not true. So, basically I'm soulless. But... in my defence I am pretty creative - so here we are. I decided I wanted to do something that people like my friends and I could appreciate. So no fancy gimmicks, unaffordable pieces or unrealistic reviews. I want to provide realistic reviews, ideas and doable hacks. Hopefully, I can provide this with a dose of positivity and hopefully some humour.
Beauty Pie the beauty membership club: Products Review Part 1
It was probably in about 2017 that I saw Beauty Pie pop up in my search engines and probably on Instagram too. I looked into and I wasn’t too sure if it was genuinely worth it or yet another cheap brand selling itself as luxury. Then in mid to late 2018 I saw lots of…
Read MoreThe rabbit hole
Wow, I can’t believe where the time has gone. Every week I was like ‘I think I’ll have time to write a couple of blog posts and load them up’, then bang! It’s Monday morning and I literally have had no time. I’m sorry and I’ll try and be better. No! I WILL BE BETTER……
Read MoreNo more roll on deodorants?
Could this be my goodbye to Dove Deodorants…? I have noticed that my deodorant is super effective these days. I am a staunch fan of dove and have found it keep me dry and odour free. However, the more effective it has become the harder I find it is to wash off my pits in…
Read MoreThe Ordinary update….
TO skin regimen so far… So it has been just over a month since I started my The Ordinary skin regime. I promised an update and here it is. I followed the regimen I posted in my first most for about a month. I also emailed the Ordinary to check I was using the right…
Read MoreDream a little dream
All I’ve wanted has been my own house. I’ve dreamed about what my rooms will look like even when I was in primary school. When I went to my friends’ houses I would take note of their decor. Where their wallpaper was likely sourced, what colours worked and didn’t become too tiresome. Then I grew…
Read MoreYSL All -in-one Glow Foundation Review
I recently ran out of my Dior Forever foundation at the worst possible time. That’s to say everything ran out at the same time, primer, moisturiser, powder. You name it I was out. Here is my beauty haul in May. I was quite keen on trying a YSL foundation. I was looking for something a…
Read MoreMy Ikea makeup box.
I have to apply my makeup in the kitchen in the mornings. The light is better there but also my boyfriend is a ridiculously light sleeper so I can’t even turn on the lights in the bedroom in deepest darkest winter without him suddenly waking up and screaming like some love child of Count Dracula…
Read MoreLather me well: Body wash review
I am a bath person. I love it. One day before I die, I will buy a house. I will do that house up and install a Japanese style bathroom. Why? What is a Japanese style bathroom, you ask. Well traditionally, it is more a wet room, we shower and exfoliate (we always exfoliate), and…
Read MoreNo mess Salmon Meunière
One of my readers recently got in touch with me asking if I could publish a boneless fish recipe. She has kids, so that got my noggin straight on to easy quick recipes. There are a couple that I know of but I thought I’d go with this one as its something my mother learnt…
