100 Yen Haul & Household Life

EDIT: JOIN DSK's 3rd Giveaway!!!!! WIN AWESOME JEWELRY x)

Good evening from Japan!
Yesterday afternoon I went over to Nakano (中野 - Access by JR Chuo-Sobu or Chuo line) for some 100 yen shopping at Daiso.
Although Nakano isn't really a big shopping area or anything, I went to check out the Broadway plaza (which is a long indoor road with lots of little shops - a "happy road"?) but didn't really find anything interesting.
The Daiso in Nakano didn't have any cosmetic items! I was so disappointed T-T but the one in Koenji (where my "home" atm is), had more things, like false eyelashes haha x)

Here's my little haul from Daiso in Nakano:

Then my another Daiso haul from Koenji (the false lashes, anti-bacterial wipes, blue clips)
The hair claw is from Claire's in Nakano and the facewash, spray and nose packs are from Sundrug also in Nakano.


Hehe, can't leave this post without showing some things from the house I am staying in, right?
These are my grandfather's koi fish. They are really fat even though they are only fed once a day.
Fed them again so they would come closer.. Hehe.
Tanuki! (Racoon)


Neighborhood picture from the veranda. The weather is not good!
It was so windy today but later on it got sunny again.

My grandpa's cactus is sprouting flowers.. :)
Next post will be be about Shibuya! But I was so occupied with shopping that I didn't get to take pictures inside the stores T-T

I love the Claire's in Japan. The ones in the U.S suck in comparison. Great stash you got :)

Nice haul! Also, nice photos of your grandpa's place. The koi fish are so huge! haha If I remember correctly, cactus plants are supposed to ward off evil spirits if placed outside of the home. The flower is so pretty. :)

Ah! I'm a Daiso fan!
I can't stop myself from buying 'something' every time I walk into one. It could range from the queerest things like a pack of nail art brushes to anti-cat powder for the house (mum complains of the neighbourhood cats using the garden as a public loo so I had to pick up some of those to ward them off)
