Felt othello from Decole

How would you like a quick game of biscuit othello?

I spotted it in Poco a Poco. Will show you another something from Decole next week. It’ll be diaper-related and very adorable.

Matryoshka doll – bath fizz

If I’m in Tokyo, I like to pop in to the ranKing ranQueen shop just to get myself quickly acquainted with the current best-selling goods in the country. Goods are displayed in order of sale rankings and categories range from food, drinks, cosmetics, toiletries, stationery and a whole lot more (including insane/weird stuff you wonder who buys and why).

The Happy Matryoshka Bath Fizz was ranked no.1 for bath salts at the time when I was in the branch at Shibuya.

I bought it not for the fizz but for the 2 matryoshkas – the pink casing (with facial features + flowers outlined just like the cover!) and the innermost surprise doll.

What’s amazing about this is no details are spared! From the packaging, the product tag and even to the mini capsule.

Doesn’t the peanut capsule look like it’s shaped for a matryoshka?

2. Squish A to B.
3. Align.
