Cutie Reviews: Kawaii Box May 19

Before I begin I have an announcement: later/tomorrow I plan to post a sort of... glossaryish post that will be about ALL the boxes I subscribe to :D Because earlier today it occurred to me, I never really talk about the brands themselves anymore unless they have some update or if I complain in my reviews. I thought this type of post would be nice for anyone who just wanted to learn more about a specific box to see if they would be interested in it. I will also be including my own opinions on the box as a whole, pros and cons, how the box has changed, etc.

So if you like things like that, then make sure you come back soon!

Until then, we’re gonna focus on this:

Word of the month: Tanjyoubi - Birthday

Disney Princess Dress-Up Puffy Stickers

Our first item is a set of Disney Princess Ariel/Little Mermaid stickers. Covered to the brim with stickers, this sheet has multiple outfits, accessories/props, and deco bits to have fun with the sticker doll and then-some!

Besides Ariel, there are other Disney Princess and I’ve even seen they added a really cute Minnie mouse one on Blippo.com. Those in this set each cost $3.90.

I was really torn between all 3 dresses, the turquoise one was a classic for Ariel, and I love how the pink one reminded me of Aurora, but I actually settled for the purple one because I though it looked really pretty on her. Then I chose the shell purse and matching decoration/accessory and a light pink sash to add more to her dress, what do you think?

While on the subject, which dress would you have chose for her? Or would you have given her a different colored dress entirely?

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

It’s really simple, but it’s also pretty fun and cute, I love dress-up stickers because of how creative you can be. I mentioned this before but I really want to start a scrapbook or photobook and fill it entirely with dress-ups~

The stickers puffiness is nice and soft, and I like how these don’t feel finished. So I could go back to it a few days later and swap out her purse and hair piece to make her classier with a sun hat. Or I could give her the turquoise dress if I wanted.

Sanrio Ziptop Bag Set

Next up is this pack of adorable Pompompurin zipper bags. You get 6 in total, including 3 Small 70mm x100mm, and 3 Medium 160mm x 190mm. Each set offers different designs, and besides Pompompurin (who I couldn’t find on blippo btw) there was also the other basic characters like my Melody, Gudetama, Little Twin Star. Each set costs $5.90.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I think these are really cute, and practical :D according to the back of the package you could put all sorts of things in these, and I like that both sets are zip-locks. These would be a perfect gift for any Pompompurin fan.

Kawaii Dreams File

This is the monthly Exclusive item, a file folder featuring a variety of kawaii designs and items you can find on the Kawaii Box box and booklet, with the inside panel being white and pink to match the box’s color scheme. It’s kinda small-medium, about the size of the booklet that comes in each box, and it’s a little flimsy, but for most part it feels durable and sturdy.

You can buy this off of Blippo for $2.90.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I usually don’t look forward to getting these files in the boxes because as cute as they are, they’re always big and bent. This one fits in the box with no problem, so I feel like even though you would need to fold certain things into it, it’s more practical. I also like how despite how colorful and busy it looks, it doesn’t feel too-busy.

Soft Jell Rainbow Gel Pen Set

I loved gel pens growing up x3 my friends and I loved to draw on our things and each other during class (but only when we weren’t actually doing anything important <3< I wasn’t a model student but I didn’t get into trouble either), and I remember just admiring the massive rainbow collection my friend had; she must have had at least 100!

My collection was much smaller and modest though, I only had a few glittery metallic ones and a couple multicolored pastels. So for someone who used to love these, getting a whole pretty set like this just made my day~

It’s also pretty rare for us to get a whole set of anything in the boxes. If you’ve seen my prior reviews (or check out the items on blippo) its usually just one separate of your choosing. This set costs $6.90.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The colors are vibrant and really pretty, as you can see I did decorate the box with them which in hindsight might not have been the best thing to do, but they still worked once the ink got flowing. They’re juicy and are capable of long lines, writing, dots, coloring.

My only complaint is that both blues (or I suppose you could say one is indigo? Turquoise?) look almost exactly alike. It’s the same in the actual pens, but there’s still a noticeable difference until you go to use them both, so I wish they would have darkened or lightened one of them to make the difference more noticeable.

Cute Animal Friend Masking Tape & Nekoni Cherry Blossoms Badge

For our next items, I got bunnies for both ♥

First is an adorable pastel bunny washi tape that consists of a kawaii bunny doing some silly actions. I would have taken out a piece to show the design, but when I unraveled a long, long amount of it I saw no end to the pattern >3< like it kept going, there was no repeat bunnies. Each bunny was cuter, or sillier than the last.

There are several varieties you could get, and you can guy them in sets of 4 for $5.90 on Blippo.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Well besides being very cute and silly to look at, I like how this doesn’t seem to be repetitive like most tapes. I’m sure it starts repeating somewhere but for now, I just think it would be cute to use them individually as little emoji icons, like for notes or letters or something.

-----

From the brand Nekoni are these adorable pastel badges with cherry blossom designs, ranging from animals, a human girl, scenery, and adorable foods. Each badge costs $1.90.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

It’s very cute, but there isn’t really much I can say about a badge other than the fact it seems to be fine quality. There was no problems with it or anything to complain about.

Cute Stationery Buddy

This probably would have been better suited for a school theme- but you also use stuff like this to decorate :P so, our next item is an adorable, soft but firm plush themed after various stationery items. There are 7 in total, each with a ball chain and costing $4.90.

I really hope I’m not the only person, but when I saw this (and even now) I think of a snail; it’s a roll of tape! I was so surprised initially but now that I’ve had it for a while I’ve been seeing it more.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Again, I find myself with little to say. It’s really cute though, and the quality is nice, there’s no obvious flaws or issues.

Yogurt Jelly Hair Clip Set

In comparison to stationery, we always get sets of hair clips so I’m happy about that :3 I love their kawaii hair clips and accessories, they’re usually always one of my most favorite items~

Anyway, this set is themed after yogurt jelly and features a small translucent clip attached to a clear, colorful, glittery yogurt jelly attached to it, each with labels, a colorful lid, and a tiny lotte written in the corner. These come in several cute color schemes, each set costs $2.90.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

As I’ve been saying this entire review, these are very cute. They’re also well made, in that the pieces don’t feel loose or flimsy, which has been in a problem with one or two past-sets I’ve gotten, but you can easily fix that with some good glue. I was also very happy to get a very pink set, but you couldn’t go wrong with any of them in my opinion!

DIY Fruity Doodle Pen & Flower Candy

Our last item is this cute little fruity doodle set. Technically I don’t consider this to be a DIY considering you’re just spreading gel on the gummies, but it’s very cute and I really wanted to try it. I started seeing it like a year or two ago?

It’s available on Blippo for $3.50.

As you can see, I got tons of yellow gummies, along with a single pink, and two blues. The gel is supposed to be sour, but it’s actually very light- it reminds me a lot of strawberry jello/gelatin. The gummies are individually flavored, and this is what I thought:

Yellow - might be apricot? It tastes a lot like the apricot jelly filling in the mochi I buy from the mall.

Blue - my favorite, tastes like blue raspberry.

Pink - no flavor I could pick up, just sweetness.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

As I said, I’m not sure this is entirely a DIY so I didn’t make a separate post on it. All you do is apply the jelly, which I thought actually tasted the best out of everything in the set, but it was very tasty and cute overall, I just wish the colors/flavors of the flowers were more varied.

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 5 out of 5: I’m not sure they were all my absolute favorite or anything, but I did genuinely like everything we got this month. I found no quality issues or problems, plenty of variety in both the types of items, and for each item. A very practical and fun box. Some items were fairly pricey though, and I’m not sure if I agreed with some of those. Also, we got one item less than usual, which I assume has something to do with the price?

Theme - ????? out of 5: I found this Happy Birthday theme to be extremely open and up for interpretation, so I had I’m not sure how I feel about how they did on it. On one hand I could say “yes, these are items you could use for gifts or decoration for a birthday“, but on another I’d say “sakura badges and yogurt hair clips don’t make me think of a birthday.”

Total Rank: 8.5 out of 10 Cuties. I liked the items, and I can see why they chose the theme they did, but because of how open it is, I’m not sure how my feelings are towards it. The items worked great and I would recommend mostly all of them. I’m not sure this is my favorite box though...

(I’m sorry but I ended up skipping the last part of this review, I was fine this entire time but towards the end things got really busy in the house and I’m not feeling well at the time. I would have went to lay down but my laptop has been weird lately and I didn’t want to risk losing the work T^T sorry if you were looking forward to that part.)

THIS PROCESS SUCKS! The most effective method to CHOOSE THE RIGHT SEO AGENCY WITH THE LEAST LOSS OF HAIR

When you've spoken with more than 1,000 CMOs, advertising experts, and entrepreneurs about site design improvement (SEO), one getting a handle on stands more than some other: dissatisfaction.

Furthermore, I don't simply mean about how Google's calculation functions or how to comprehend which measurements truly matter.

(BTW, in case you're in this pontoon look at our free CMO's Cheat Sheet to Understanding SEO Metrics.)

No, what I'm alluding to is the organization determination process. Generally, everybody abhors it. Why? Give me a chance to tally the ways:

Here are only a couple of reasons why picking a SEO organization can feel like a terrible task:

Our industry is loaded up with fakes.

You know perhaps some fundamental purposes of how SEO functions, yet not all around ok to feel like you can pass judgment on plans or experience precisely.

Most offices don't disclose to you how SEO functions in any sort of substantive manner or what they'll really accomplish for you in detail. "Simply trust us."

A few offices state they work in one zone, for example, specialized SEO and that that angle is generally significant.

Notwithstanding when you do get subtleties of what offices will accomplish for you, they're everywhere.

Valuing and terms of agreement differ.

Web optimization is basic to your organization's prosperity, which just elevates the weight.

At the point when taken inside and out, it doesn't simply have a craving for contrasting one type with a totally different type; it resembles apples to obscure black market mobsters.

I could go on, however Yogi doesn't have a major enough blossom.

Getting YOUR Work done: HOW TO ENSURE THE RIGHT SEO AGENCY FIT

Give me a chance to give you access on a mystery—there's no ideal office for each organization.

We're not a counterpart for each business, and I'm kinda one-sided.

So how would you approach assessing an ideal choice for you? Begin by discovering answers to the accompanying inquiries.

KNOW YOUR GOALS

What would you like to achieve with SEO?

Is it accurate to say that you are searching for exponential traffic development?

Top rankings on significant watchwords?

Recuperation from a poor site relocation?

Spread out your objectives with as much definition as you can assemble. Extra focuses in the event that you can name explicit measurements you need to hit (e.g., 15% expansion in natural changes; 20% natural traffic increment YoY).

In the event that you don't feel you're ready to characterize explicit measurements, it's OK. The correct office should most likely work with you to decide practical objectives for your particular circumstance.

Comprehend WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST

Talking about your circumstance—what is sensible for you?

A 10% YoY increment for a since a long time ago settled, well-streamlined site in a focused industry may be incredible, while a 30% MoM increment for another site with basically no traffic to talk about may be horrendous.

You should know—or discover—the accompanying:

How old is your site?

Topographically, where would you like to appear?

What catchphrases are most critical to you? What amount would they say they are looked for? How focused would they say they are? How would you rank on them and who positions in front of you?

Are there specialized site issues keeping your SEO down?

What sort of trust sign have you developed (e.g., backlinks), particularly contrasted with your rivals?

Do you have drawing in substance? Not as in "my mother peruses all my blog entries." More along the lines of Google Search Console and investigation information indicating low bob rates, various pages per visit, and so on.

Have you at any point had any Google punishments or past SEO endeavors that could be harming you today?

You can likewise demand a SEO review to cover a few or the majority of the abovementioned and more from a SEO office. Some are free, and some cost cash, yet numerous organizations will offer these reviews without expecting you to sign a full-administration contract.

With this learning, you're prepared to begin examining organizations.

Absolute minimum SEO AGENCY REQUIREMENTS

All organizations will have their novel situating and how they approach SEO. Yet, any real office needs the accompanying. Think about this as your "Stop! Try not to Pass Go" minute.

Go to SEO Jail

"Hello Kids! It's Digital Marketing Board Game Night. Children. Children?"

How might we help you? Enter your email and one of our masters will get in touch with you to talk about your showcasing needs.

Enter your email here...

Life span: Digital showcasing organizations travel every which way constantly, so it makes a difference when an office remains in business for over five years. Far and away superior is in case you're ready to discover an organization that has been executing on SEO crusades since the beginning of Google (think 10+ years).

Size: How enormous is your organization? Is it a two-man shop where an excursion or surprising sickness quits everything? Or on the other hand a behemoth where your record gets the 'C' group chipping away at it? Attempt to discover how prepared an office is to do what they've guaranteed.

Procedure: Many organizations approach SEO in an unexpected way. The best ones have deliberately made their own procedure to represent each and every progression of the way, incorporating potential obstructions.

Record Manager: Another significant least prerequisite is whether your office will give a devoted record administrator. This individual customarily fill in as your essential purpose of-contact (POC), and they should have a thorough comprehension of each part of your battle, planning with their colleagues as needs be. Record chiefs are there to serve you and should make themselves accessible to respond to questions or furnish bits of knowledge with sensible turnaround times.

Group: notwithstanding having a record administrator, get some information about reinforcement contacts at the organization. Extra focuses on the off chance that you will have a committed reinforcement who is proficient of your record. You might need to know other colleagues who will chip away at your record also.

Experience: Selecting the privilege SEO office ought to consistently include assessing their experience, yet there are various methodologies in such manner. You could pick an office that has shown demonstrated outcomes in your industry or comparative vertical. On the other side, you could go the contrary way and search out an organization that has delivered brings about different ventures, carrying a new viewpoint to shake things up with more current strategies.

Updates and Reporting: No issue where you turn, providing details regarding execution is constantly an absolute minimum. Be that as it may, common or unremarkable offices come up short at steady correspondence and careful examination. What you don't need is an organization that makes a technique and gives your SEO a chance to battle keep running on auto-pilot uncertainly without repeating exchange.

Lucidity: Your organization of decision might be the master on SEO, however you may not be. Organizations go to offices either in light of the fact that they don't have the data transfer capacity to do it all alone, or they need to confide in a group of experienced people who are the specialists. You're depending on their ability yet never settle for an office that doesn't take the necessary steps to make everything straightforward. You need absolute straightforwardness and clearness.

In case you're not 100% secure with any of the above necessities, move onto the following office.

GETTING THE RIGHT FIT

The absolute necessities recorded above will help you remove unfit offices. Presently you need to locate the best fit for you from the numerous shops that do scratch off every one of those containers.

How would you ensure in case you're Officer Trainee Hightower you don't get a Citroën? Consider the accompanying.

The Right Size: Depending on what your needs are, this thought needs a "Goldilocks" approach—not very huge, and not very little. Little offices are better prepared to give more involved customer experience, however the nature of work might be lower and you might be stuck if a key individual ends up inaccessible. Then again, an extremely huge organization can get results yet neglect offering a human touch in their correspondence and are less adaptable in attempting new things (also a significantly heftier sticker price).

Coordinating Your Needs: A significant thought; your necessities are quite often directed by your general objectives. Do you as of now have content or do you need an accomplice to set procedure and convey content all the time? Is there some other exertion you need progressively far reaching help with, for example, third party referencing or lead age?

Wanted Communication Intervals: The privilege SEO organization should be adaptable enough to oblige how you need to convey and how regularly. Regardless of whether you need week after week email touchpoints, every other week telephone calls, or month to month in-person gatherings, attempt to discover what's essential to you. Reward tip: The more drawn in you are with your SEO organization, the more you'll escape your association with them.

Great Rapport with Your POC: Human creatures are profoundly social animals, and it's OK to be specific about who you work with. It generally enables when you to have a decent compatibility with your assigned POC. (Furthermore, on the off chance that you ever find that you don't have a decent association with your POC subsequent to marking, don't be bashful about requesting another one.)

THE CONTRACT OFFER

The real contract is critical. Knowing and understanding what's included permits you the most obvious opportunity with regards to contrasting one type with it's logical counterpart, or if nothing else pears.

Search for:

Administrations: You should know explicitly what you're getting, what won't be done inside the extent of the battle. Additionally, comprehend what you'll be relied upon to do or endorse.

Length: Many organizations will attempt to secure you for broadened periods, so before pushing ahead, seriously investigate the responsibility. <cough>Some organizations even offer month-to-month contracts.<cough>

Terms: The fine print can be an executioner on the off chance that you aren't cautious. Continuously get some information about anything where you're uncertain.

Valuing: obviously, estimating is another huge worry as there's an enormous range and even extraordinary evaluating models. Make sure to get some information about extra charges which may not be canvassed in your agreement. I leave this point last as it should be the last thought, accepting the office is inside the scope of wha
