In Japan, it is not easy to find vegetarian or vegan restaurants, even though origin of macrobiotic diet is in Japan.
But, recently in Tokyo, many organic, macrobiotic restaurants are opened…

Honey
Do you like honey?
I love my honey, my partner, of course and honey produced by bee. Both are sweet. 🙂
Today, what I want to talk is honey produced by bee, especially Manuka honey.
Probably many people know about this honey. This is from New Zealand, and used as a home remedy for a long time.
The honey contains higher amount of antibacterial agent than usual honey, and it is indicated UMF rating.
When you want to use the honey for as a remedy, you need to get over 10UMF rate.
Use of Manuka honey is on top of wound.
But, here I am for beauty, I want to recommend to use for beauty purpose, such as facial mask, and also drinking.
When you have time after your bath time, it might be good time to put the honey on your face to absorb benefit of nature.
Also, in the morning, you can use the honey to sweeten your drink. 🙂
The honey has strong taste that you cannot taste from regular honey.
Like earthy, smokey kind of taste.
Please try the honey to enjoy the nature. 🙂
Pancakes…
Pancakes.
One of the foods I really love.
In my childhood, my Mom made hotcakes for me and sister.
Usually, Japanese hotcakes are thicker and softer than pancakes….but my Mom’s were always flat and not really soft….lol
Well, still for me, it was a great memory and my first cooking was hotcakes for my family in my elementary school.
In the States, pancakes with omelet were my favorite meal and now in Japan, I miss that pancakes meal…
So, I decided to make my own pancakes. I thought I could not make what I really had in the States, but I realized that my Mom always made her own hotcakes for us and these are in my heart and my partner once said me I do not have to be the same. I should be Keiko, as I am…these always encourage me….My pancakes has some unique ingredients such as muesli, soy beans flour and black sesame, because I would like to have many kind of foods in a day. And, muesli contains many nuts and dried fruits etc…Don’t you think it is good for our beauty and health? What I would like to do is enjoy cooking and eat healthy to keep beauty for myself, for my partner! 😉

Beauty from Within
Beauty.
Many people seek ways to keep their beauty, and make them more beautiful.
Now think of many cosmetics companies what they offer us these days.
Skincare products for oily and sensitive skins, anti-aging, brightening, eye care , lip care, body care, eye shadows, lip colors, etc….
A lot! lol
I cannot count them all, actually.
And now, many cosmetics companies also offer supplements to boost your beauty from inside.
For example, vitamin C is to help growth and repairing your tissues in your body. 🙂
So, what those companies offer is protect your skin from external factors such as UV , dust etc, and internally, some vitamins and minerals to help our body’s functions work properly.
So, here what I would like to tell you that also internal factors to keep and create your own beauty; foods and mind.
But, do not worry that I really like foods called junk foods. 🙂 and also sweets, so, I will not tell like we should only eat organic foods. 😛
As for mind, I believe we should keep our mind also beautiful to reflect it to outside of your body.
So, I will introduce stress release things, way of thinking or so here…
One thing, always I do is thank myself and my partner with lots of love. 🙂
