Valentine's Day and White Day in Japan Part.2

Continuing on the previous article, Valentine's Day and White Day in Japan Part.1, I'm going to talk a bit more about the White Day in Japan.
I have already introduced what the White Day is in the Part 1, so please take a look it if you need.

For the White Day my bf gave me these presents:

GODIVA

 What is in it....??

WOW!! How gorgeous!! What is the flavor for each..??

From the left to the right, 

Gianduja (hazelnut-in chocolate)

Raspberry & Dark Chocolate

Passion Fruits & Milk Chocolate

Green Tea & White Chocolate

Milk Chocolate & Caramel

I cannot try all the taste yet because I don't want to finish them all so fast!! lol

But, I tried the yellow, passion fruits one and the orange, caramel one.

Passion fruits one tastes a bit sour but milk brings the sweetness, it was a very gorgeous taste.

Caramel one tastes mostly sweet and caramel has a bit bitter. 

I was surprised at that these two colors were very close but tastes were totally different!!  

L'OCCITANE 

 

Cute shopping bag! what is in it..?

 SWEET!!!!!

ALL CHERRY BLOSSOM ITEMS ONLY THIS SPRING TERM!! YES!

☆ The silver item is a cherry blossom hand cream.
☆ The pinkish bottle is cherry blossom bath and body gel.
☆ The white bottle is cherry blossom shimmering lotion.

I do not use them yet, but I cant wait to use them!! The must be a great floral fragrance!

I don't know if these cherry blossom items are also available in the other countries though, it is sold in the other countries??
This is because Japanese spring only during April is a season of cherry blossoms' blooming, so I just wondered.

So, here now lots of shops and restaurants have a special menu with cherry blossoms called "sakura".

If you visit or travel Japan during the spring, please check the cherry blossom items :)  

Valentine's Day and White Day in Japan Part.1

We have a day called "White Day" on just one month after Valentine's Day, which is 14th March.
(Actually the past mass media and merchants made the day for a business marketing.)

Well, however, I didn't know that other Asian countries have the White Day as well until I click the Wikipedia page I linked.

First, in Japan, Valentine's day is very different from the one in the U.S. and the other christian countries. It is the day that a girl gives her hand-made chocolate based cakes or cookies to lovers. Sometimes "lovers" don't mean couples. This is because a girl can open her minds and tell her feelings for the first time to the boy she loves, just like "i wanna date you."
I know that's kinda weird, why girls have to tell first and boys are just waiting... grrr, oh well.

Anyways, therefore we have a White day that a boy gives his feelings back to a girl who gave chocolates or cakes, with telling her "Thanks and love you" or anything for the situation.

I gave my bf some hand-made muffins and a healthy smoothie making kit.

hand-made muffins

   I made them so quick while he was going out with his friends because these were kinda for a surprise.
The surfaces were a little bit crushed but I did it! 

After work at 9 pm I started to make them... I remember I was super tired lol

And, 

Smoothie Making Kit 

 

It is a powdery smoothie kit. 

My bf is lately working out a lot and being on diet. 

So, I chose this one, which is the best chosen on some of the Internet websites.

A tall cup is in it, so that put and shake it with milk or water. We prefer soy milk better though.

These are my Valentine's gifts for my bf, and my surprise was successful!! Yay :) 

Oh the muffins were yummy yeah! haha

Next... I'll put the article about what I got on the White Day!!

 

My Kate Spade New York #1 -for my bday present of July 30 '13-

I'd like to introduce my favorite one of the Kate Spade New York things.

Last year, my bf gave me a surprise present for my birthday while we were having dinner after work at the Red Lobster restaurant in Koiwa, Tokyo.
 

Yes, it is the same restaurant as the one in the U.S.!!

 

The thing inside of this cute decorated box is.... 

♡ The Watch ♡

Which I was super eager to want!!

It is called "carousel bangle".

*It is just "carousel"  in Japan.

 

Every time I checked the online page of katespade website, it was totally sold out. 

 

Is this good on me??

Here, you can see the spade mark on the push button. 

 How sophisticated and designed..

For my special moments like a formal party, I usually put this special bangle styled watch on.
So, I attended with it to the after party of my friends wedding, maybe it wasn't seen on my picture of the article though.


Lastly as I told the above, the place Red Lobster we went to is the same restaurant in the u.s.

They gave me a special dessert. It's such an adorable lobster, isn't it?
