A Taste of Japan's Harajuku Fashion Via A Harajuku Panda From Build-A-Bear Workshop (Review and Giveaway)

I should tell you now that in this house of mine, Japan and anything Japanese is a big deal to us. It's partly my father's fault. I'm quarter Japanese. True confession. Nonetheless, we're simply hooked on anything  "Japan-y". Why wouldn't we? Japan is renown for so many things unique! It's the birthplace of anime and fashion so out of this world, cute won't even begin to describe it. Beyond cute like Hello Kitty, Pokemon... and then there's Harajuku!

Friends Count Star and Heart Bears - Review

"A Friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) US poet & essayist.

I was once asked what does friendship means to me? It wasn't so much as being a trivial question that negated a response of the same nature, but friendship does encompasses a general rule. A friend is one you can count on, good or bad times but most especially during your bad times.

Skecher My Heart Build-A-Bear Workshop - Review

Check out the PAWSOME Paws!

Hot-lights Bear and Twinkle Toes Bear

Skechers is one of those brands that makes my heart flutter at the very sight of their name. They're huge in Asia back when I was growing up and still is. Needless to say, I was a big fan back then and obviously, still is as of today. Yes, I currently own quite a few of their shoes right now and I'm glad that I have them. Seeing them partnering with Build-A-Bear Workshop, is like two of my favorite people marrying each other! Trendiness of Skechers + cuteness of BABW? Just perfect.

During our recent trip to the beach, my daughter enjoyed traveling with an excitable buddy that she also spent a lot of time cuddling with whenever she gets the chance! I don't blame her, her travel buddy is quite fun and kept her warm during those cool, breezy nights at the beach! A versatile blanket that also doubles up as a puppet. Now that's twice the fun!
