Late DokiDoki April Crate Review + Sakura Matsuri 2017 at Brooklyn Botanical!

Hello guys, Tsubaki here! Sorry for this late posting but things got really busy due to everything happening! So just to update, New York had their Brooklyn Botanical Sakura Matsuri this year April 29 -30th! I only went on April 30th due to my work hours. Below is some pictures I took along with some stuff I got <3

The sakuras were amazing this year! 

My favorite origami piece was the unicorn.

Everything was so lovely I took many flower pictures!

Got this cute traditional bag that I am highly using for my portable phone charger, a mini kendama and a box of these awesome Royce white chocolate covered chips. I highly recommend the chips they are so good and you don't need to eat all of them to enjoy it!

Onward to the DokiDoki Crate! I must say sorry for not having the YumeTwins Crate here because it did not come in and will hopefully get a replacement box.

This crate came with a lovely flower pen, a cute Rillakuma pouch, a Sentimental Circus face cloth, a super soft kitty plush, a hair scrunchy featuring one of the Disney princesses, a very nice note pad featuring the got to see movie Your Name and the cute monthly Hoppe chan! The note pad came just in time because I needed one for all the stuff I was doing plus the design is very nice and soft colored.

I got the Belle scrunchy which is great because I like Belle! Only thing I am worried about is that the lettering coming off because it isn't stitched on so there is a chance of it peeling off after a while.

The Sentimental Circus cloth is the reason why I really wanted this month's DokiDoki crate! I love Sentimental Circus and it is kinda hard to get here in the States. I love the design and if I could I would buy the rest of the different cloths of all the characters! But until then at least I got cute Mouton <3

Last is this cute fluffy kitty! I love it because unlike other plushies of this size it doesn't have beans in its tummy so its fully squishy!

Overall I really liked this crate. I hope more Sentimental Circus items comes to more kawaii crates because I love San-X products and feel like it really should be more advertised and known!

Happy New Year with December Crates and Hamee Phone case Review!

Hello everybody and Happy New Year! I know this post is a bit late since its now January but I haven't done the December crates for DokiDoki and Yumetwins. Also hopefully soon I will do a review for the new Sanrio crate, it is just it will be delayed due to shipping issues. 

First off is Yume Twins!

A nice Christmas themed crate we have.

Came with a lot of goodies. especially since Yume Twins is going to improve on a lot of stuff they have including the items they put in the crate.

First thing I was head over heels for was the Rillakuma hand towel! It is so cute and i still don't want to use it because I just want it for myself!

From left to right we have the Snoopy Pocket mirror which had a variety of 12 different designs you could have gotten! I like small mirrors because I already carry a lot of stuff in my bag. Below that is the Amuse Kotoritai Kinchaku pouch and I got the yellow one which is one out of five. Next is the cute Mame Shiba Inu Smartphone Cleaner which was one of four designs. I currently have it on my new phone case which I will show later! Below that is a Christmas Bath Soak which smells amazing from the packaging! Last is the decorative tape featuring The Return of Lum which is one of eight designs and a Woodstock plushie! There was a chance of getting one og the four Peanuts plushies but I am so happy I got Woodstock <3

The main item of this crate which was spoiled early is the Neko Atsume Plushie Hat! I got Tubbs and it was one of three cats you could have gotten! It is soft and straps under your chin! 

This crate is amazing considering that there were so many different designs for the items you could have gotten. I think the randomness is what makes it enjoyable! 

Next is DokiDoki!

This crate marks the 1st year anniversary for DokiDoki! How exciting!

There was some awesome items in this one! Starting from the left we have Paw gloves which are so amazing that I use them everyday since it is cold here! The gloves are so soft and they are easy to type with so you don't even have to take them off! Next is a cute fluffy pink pen which is always needed since I run out of pens. Up top is Hoppe Chan on a cute Christmas cupcake! Following is Calvin from the Homebear series. You could have gotten Calvin or CoCo in the crate. The small Loppy next to it is a squeaker toy which is adorable because I have squeaking things. Just be careful its easy to use since it is so small! Next is a very useful Loppy Eco Bag! I use this so much and I think its awesome they had this because using plastic bags is quite a pain. Next is the cute Mame shiba cellphone cleaner which is so cute that I haven't found a place for it yet! Hopefully I will. And last is a cute organizer for the New Year!

A closer look at the box since its so cute. But overall much love for DokiDoki since they have such neat surprises in their crates and hope they will continue to go strong!

Last review for the day is the Hamee Plie Trouver Phone Case for IPhone 6s!

I got it in a light green color and the design of it is so simple but very pretty. There is a slot holder in the back that allows the card to be scanned if needed and the front features a stripe where if you swipe it you can pick of your calls without opening your phone case! This is one of the best cases I had in a while and really wanted to treat myself to a decent case for my phone. I highly recommend this case for IPhone users that want a dairy case, the little ring to place phone charms on and great accessibly with calls while looking amazing! 

Thank you for coming by and I hope your New Year is starting off great! Until next time!

1UP crate and Lootcrate Review with Loads of Updates

Hi everybody! Tsubaki here!

October is one of my favorite months because of all the Halloween exclusives that come out. Also its the best time to binge watch horror movies and wear cool and dark outfits without being judged too hard. Besides that I got more subscription boxes since I wanted to see wha cool horror and Halloween related items I could get.

The first one I will talk about is 1UP box. I must say, it is a very affordable subscription box and may cost under $10 if you have a discount link or code. It comes with a shirt and other good quality items which you will see below!





Overall it came with a Nightmare Before Christmas Dorbz which is a vinyl figure that is a bit heavy at the base so it is great to have on your desk. You could have gotten Jack or Oogie in the box. A cute Boo sticker, a Pac-Man ghost bottle opener, a Walking Dead bracelet and a very nice t-shirt.




Wearing this cute shirt!



Such a cute small pin.



The sticker actually glows in the dark. It is so awesome.
Overall for a bit under $10 this is an awesome box especially if you are getting a gift for some one and you know they just love whatever the theme of the box is they just want cool game and show related items. In general if you have a tight budget but have the need to collect your fill of cool collectibles this is for you.

Now it is time for Lootcrate! Lootcrate, is a very pick and choose subscription to me. This is because you may not like the next monthly crate and you can skip it or you can pick from a variety of crates they give. People tell me that some crates are ok and some are just awesome and the rest are bad. Honestly I wasn't expecting so much since I never got Lootcrate before. However I did like this October/ Halloween box.





The box had a walking dead mask in it which is pretty innovative I must say. Great way to save paper. Also an awesome door decoration if you aren't going to wear it. And yes, I actually did put it on my door, because I CAN.



The break down for the box is the Walker mask, Walking Dead Negan Sluggers t-shirt, Leatherface phunny plush from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You can a 50/50 chance to get the Happy or Sad face version. Freddy Kreuger chopsticks, which I find to be awesome since I eat a lot of oriental food (omg its like they know). Camp Crystal Lake banner flag. A book of The Legion of Regrettable Super Villans which is a funny read. And last but not least the Loot Crate horror pin and free code for the game SuperFight on Steam. I haven't played it yet but it is very cool to get a free game with this.

Overall I would say you get very good stuff for about $25. It is especially great if you know what the theme is and what shows they feature so you can get the most out of it. I wanted this LootCrate specifically since I love horror movies like the ones featured in here. I actually didn't watch Walking Dead yet but I have played part of the Walking Dead games on PS3. I feel that if you want good quality and possibly hard to get licensed products Loot Crate is great. Also Loot Crate has a large variety of crates from different video games and more so they have a large selection that sets them apart.

Now since the crates are done, onward to updates. I am going a bit slow with updating this blog since the Blogger app does not work on iPhone 6s especially after the update. Also my laptop is not wanting to function so well so I will take any suggestions to any apps I can use to update blogger if possible.

More cool stuff! I re-found a game store I went into one other time and just so happen to find it again and get something I been wanting to get for a while. It is the Project Mirai 2 accessories set! In Japan, Project Mirai and Project Mirai 2 had special editions with figures and accessories. However in America only Project Mirai DX was given and it didn't come any of the stuff Project Mirai and Project Mirai 2. However the game stores that have imported games could have the accessories of those games which is what this is.






It comes with a very durable and Miku decorated snap pouch which is large enough to fix even the 3DS XL plus some. A case and sticker set for both the original 3DS and 3DS XL and a strap that actually holds your Vocaloid figure!

There are a large selection of the small Vocaloid figures which are often found as blind boxes. For Project Mirai 2, it came with a figure which is why this makes sense. The cases for the 3DS/ XL also have holes which keep your figure in place even if you are playing your 3DS. I love this set so much and very happy that I got it. Every Project Mirai/ Porject Diva fan should get this.

That is it for now. I did order the Doki Doki Crate and the next review blog will talk about it. Until next time, HAPPY HALLOWEEN from this cute zombie Meowchi from the super cute tastypeachstudios!
Have a fun and spoopy Halloween! <3
