In the picture below, I am just wearing the top half of the mask. And because they have a top and bottom half, they can fit just about any sized face!!

Other popular areas are Kiyomizudera, Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and The Philosopher’s Path, however this time we didn’t visit these locations! But we will be this trip!

Another favourite area of mine is Arashiyama which is famous for its big bamboo groves.


If you are a foody, you will want to check out Nishiki Market – a narrow 5-block long shopping street lined with various food vendors and stalls! You will see everything from fish mongers to tea merchants to Japanese pickles. Most of the produce is locally produced or procured. One of the best meals we had, was just off Nishiki Market, hidden behind a unsuspecting door, and amazing Tonkatsu restaurant!! We will definitely be heading back there!!

Can you believe this is my first ever beauty subscription box? Sure, I did the Tokyo Treat one for a few months, but it was full of  delicious candy, not beauty supplies!!

You definitely would have seen these videos popping up all over social media in the last 6 months or so.. A Brush.. That can straighten your hair? Yep! They exsist and they actually work.. Well the Remington Keratin & Argan Oil Straightening Brush (RRP $99.95) definitely works! I have been testing it out over the last month.
