May Favourites 2017!

+ Hello, everyone! Finally, after weeks and weeks, I finally uploaded my monthly favorites! Honestly, I only bought a few things because I didn’t find anything interesting to buy except for all the items below. Not every item purchased in May, some of the items are from my Japan trip. I think during September I will be sharing you a lot of items, well I think so. As you guys know, I upload this post quite late because eventually it has been accidentally deleted from my drafts, so I had to bring out my camera again, and re-shoot. It’s quite frustrating but here I am, let’s start with the first item, shall we?

1. Alken Professional Milan Hydro Repair Serum 120ml

I bought this hair serum a long time ago, I use it quite often. Other than having super dry hair, my hair seems to be having split ends as well. I get rid of the split ends by cutting my hair shorter, but to prevent it from happening again, I use this product, and I’m guessing that it works? What I love about this product is you only need to use a small drop of this serum to apply to your hair. I have been using this since last year and there still much left. Alken Professional Milan is well known and recommended as well, most of their products will fix your damaged hair. Other than the L’OREAL Paris oil, this is the only product that I trusted to fix my hair, you can see that the struggle is real. I can see quite an improvement in my hair. I am not sure whether this product is still available in stores or not, but you check their official website (Malaysia) here to check out other hair products by them.

3.Sushi Stickers by Nippon Ippai

These cute stickers are the one that I bought at a local stationary store in Japan. Once you enter the store, your will be shocked with countless numbers of stationaries in the store. Japan do take this kind of things seriously. There were a lot of notebooks, mechanical pencils, Gudetama stationary, I bought my friend’s Rilakumma notebook at the same store. I love collecting stickers, I am planning to do a post, just to show my stickers collections to you! This one is special, I chose this because it’s sushi, with faces on it, it’s really cute. What made this so special is the texture of the sticker, it’s made out of washi paper which is made using fibers from the bark of the gampi tree. I made a promise to myself to never use this sticker, but I don’t think I can do that. I bought this for 240 yen, which is around RM 10. I don’t think you can buy it online, but you can google Nippon Ippai, they are quite famous for their stickers collections.

2. Cube Sugar Weather and Mood Stickers by Ann House

Adding into my sticker collections is this colorful Cube Sugar Stickers designed by Ann House. I was scrolling through this one website to potentially wasting my money again. This is well-designed stickers that describe your daily mood, weather and anything relatable. I haven’t use the stickers yet but I love it so much, I don’t think I am ready to use it T^T The designer, Ann House has designed quite a few crafty stickers but I don’t know exactly why this one is my favorite. I bought with the price RM 27 at Etsy Studio’s website. The link will be here.

3. “Heart shape” tape

Another thing that I bought from the Japan Stationery store is this cute heart shape tape! I have a journal that I am currently working on it, if I have the time, I will show you the journal (wait how many things did I promise to show to you guys? I lost count on it) (haha). Look at how cool this thing works, I wish Malaysia has more of this kind of crafty products so that I could spend my money on it. There were so many designs, but my sister chose the heart shape. I’ve tried to apply it on one of my books and it turns out like this:-

This tape is really useful for those whole love arts and crafts, like doing a journal, creating your own cookbook or maybe your travel journal, anything relatable. This is the one thing that I kind of regret for not buying more than one. Because there were so many designs there, I should’ve grabbed more. I don’t remember the price but I think it’s around RM 10 or maybe cheaper than that. If you happen to know a place that sells various kind of stationaries in Malaysia, please send it to my mailbox so that I could perhaps go there to buy some stationaries, who knows?

4. I don’t understand the title but this is the book that I was talking about on my previous post.

My sister bought this book at Kinokuniya for RM 25.50. This book has caught my attention, please pray so that I could learn Japanese faster to read this book. I can’t seem to find the English translation to this book! I want to be able to understand Japanese to read more Japanese novels, but the language is too hard for me. If I could find the English translation to it, at least I get the idea of the story. This book looks very simple, but I don’t know why I wanted to read it so bad. My mum caught me staring at the book and she even asked “Why are you reading something that you don’t understand?”. Exactly, I look like an idiot trying to understand the book.

5. Fantastic Cities Coloring Book by Steve McDonald

I was completely blown off on how amazing the details are in the book. Steve really paid attention to the details making it look visually stunning. My only wish is that I didn’t ruin the book with my coloring so that this book stays amazing. This coloring book features a lot of famous cities that was based off on his imagination as well as reality. If you flipped the first page, there will be a list of the cities mentioned, for example, some of the places I wanted to visit one day which is Quebec, Canada, Himeji Castle, Istanbul and more. This one is completely different from my Secret Japan Coloring Book as this one focused more on the details of the cities instead of the culture. The book also contains Mandala illustrations of selected places making it quite hard for me to color it. By hard, I meant it's too detailed that it could take a month to complete one whole page. I love how most of his illustrations are based on his own experiences, he has visited dozens of countries, he absorbs every one his experience and puts 100% effort into this coloring book. If you wanted to see more of his work, you can visit his website here. This book is available at Kinokuniya for the price of RM 59.90, the link will be here. The picture below is one of his sketching:-

6. Faber-Castell 48 Classic Colour Pencils + 2pcs 2B Pencil

If you have an amazing coloring book, you have to have an amazing set coloring pencils. Behold, I present my coloring pencils, upgraded. I think this crazy obsession of coloring kind of gets to me to this point. I have nothing much to explain about this, it’s just like any other color pencils, I always choose Faber-Castell. I didn’t remember the price but I’m pretty sure this is easy to find in Malaysia.

So that’s it for my May Favourites post, nothing much special about this. I hope you will look forward to my next post. Thank you for reading this!
