September Hobonichi Techo Update with 2022 Lineup

It is finally Hobonichi planner season! Please note that I will be doing another one for October as I did order again! Everything in this post will be things that were released in September which are some covers, notebooks, and accessories that came out this year. All items were purchased from the offical Hobonichi Techo website.

To start, yes, I did get a new cover this year because I love Candy Stripper and how they have such cute little details made on the covers. To match the Spruced-Up Cat I got last year I got the Sweet Bunny only in A6 size. As a little note, I did sell the A5 size Spruced-Up Cat cover as I came to realize I barely use A5 size and much prefer A6, thankfully it is rehomed <3

Next are the weeks I will be using next year as a planner for my tasks, events, and reminders which is the Leather Cinnamon Beige! It took me forever to figure out which weeks I wanted to get but ended up on this because it matches my Steiff wallets which  are my everyday carry. I have been embracing my love for browns and I think I might keep this up! The weeks have been handy cause I used the clear corner adhesive pocket to hold my vaccination card which they check every time you sit down at places.

Now for possibly the biggest thing I got in the September release which is the Hobonichi 5-year Techo and Search and Collect cover! What I plan to do with this is to use it as a sustainable lifestyle tracker for the next five years. It will document all the changes I make in my life, environmental events, and other sustainable news. I love the button on the Search and Collect cover along with how the pattern on the cover is a mix of blue and green as if to mimic the sky and Earth. I am super excited to write in this every day that I also bought the small Hobonichi Techo gift bag to protect it while not in use.

So excited I even made up my mind on which pen I will use with it!

The gift bag is so cute!

Besides more cover on covers, the Shaun Tan Pencil Board from last year and Rivet Band Laccios I got the Hobonichi Plain Notebook -  Wish Upon a Star by Yuka Hiiragi in A6  and the Omiya Yogashiten Hobonichi Paper(s). I always get the Hobonichi Paper(s) to stick my little art pieces inside but the Wish Upon a Star was so cute I just to get it! I grabbed the Reflect Brass Button cause it is so cute and I want to stick it somewhere, might try to stick it on the gift bag.

That is everything for now! I will be sure to update when the October releases arrive. Hope everyone ordered what they wanted and is excited for next year! Until next time, stay hyped!

September YumeTwins Review, LootAnime Review

Hello everybody! Hope everyone had an awesome September, since this will be posted on the first of October~ But this month we have an extra surprise since I have obtained a Loot Crate Anime box~  Anyway with that let us get started!

September's Yume Twins theme is Fantasy Land! 

The first thing that almost popped out the box is a super fluffy and adorable Mocchiizu plush cushion! There were four different designs but all of them are super cute and make the best cuddly buddy <3

Next is this so handy and always needed in my bag, Kawaii Foldable comb! There were five different designs, two of which were Rilakkuma, one Little Twin Stars and the other two were Sumikko Gurashi. I got the pink Rilakkuma one!

Next is an adorable pair of Totoro chopsticks. There were two different designs and I am happy I got this one even if both are evenly as cute. I love getting chopsticks cause then its like I never have to buy more, plus I have really cute ones to use.

The biggest item that they hyped this box on is this Sumikko Digital watch! Out of all the Yume Twins boxes I have had I never actually remembered getting a digital item so this is very very exciting. It is a random deign out of three but all three designs are super cute. One of the designs is yellow, another is pink and the last is blue. I got the yellow one and I use it everyday now!

Last is one out of five designs of a kawaii kinchaku pouch. Two designs were Sumikko Gurashi, one was Little Twin Stars, another was Cinnamoroll and the last is PomPomPurin. I was so happy to get the PomPomPurin one! I use it all the time for carrying my PS Vita <3 

Overall this is still the best random and mixed kawaii month subscription since they give so much that I actually use on the daily basis. I wonder if they will give more stuff like the digital watch, cause that would be super cool.

Now its time for Loot Crate Anime! Now I mostly don't have Loot Crates besides the Sanrio crate since most of the themes they feature or the Animes they say that will be in the crate, aren't any of my favorites. BUT, this one had some! This is the Work for It! Anime Loot Crate and it features Soul Eater, Gin Tama, Bungo Stray Dogs and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid!

I love Soul Eater so I will start with that. The Soul Eater item is a volume 1 of the manga with an exclusive raised cover title and art, instead of it being flat like normal manga covers. I like this because I collect only manga series I really love and actually haven't started doing Soul Eater because when I wanted to start it, it was only at like volume 12 and I knew it was gonna keep going. Also it is pretty hard to kind the special covers unless you really search it up or kind it at exclusive events.

Next is a recent favorite of mine, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. It is a jounal with a lovely cover of Tohru's silhouette in a shiny print. This journal is so pretty I hope whatever I will use it for will be worth putting in here!

The Gin Tama item is really cool. It is Gintoki figure and it is very awesome in detail! it also comes with his sword and sheath as accessories to put in his hand.   

Last but not least is Bungo Stray Dogs. This is a pouch based on Kunikida's notebook which is pretty cool cause it might help you keep stuff organized in your bag. 

The awesome extra stuff they pack in here was a cute kitty coffee cup charm and that the back of the item info page is a lovely poster featuring coffee scene. Great of me since all I drink is coffee and tea!  

The only anime in this crate I haven't watched is Bungo Stray Dogs so I will hopefully watch it very soon. Besides that I will try to do more Loot Crate stuff. I just hope they will bring out more stuff that I am very solid about. 

Thank you all for enjoying this review! I also started streaming live reviews of crates over at my stream so please check it out! So until next time!
