Peace be with you

Posted on by under spiritual

12 years ago, friend of mine called me to say “please watch TV…my brother is working in the building.”
Right after she said that the second airplane just hit the building, and collapsed.
I could not recognize what was happening, but I can remember I felt something that should not happen.
The friend told me that her brother was fine, but many of his coworkers could not be survived.

On that day, so many lives were taken, and I do believe we should not have this kind of things again.

We have had many wars and there are many war zones in this world now, but hope we can have peace in this whole world in the future.

The God of peace be with you all. Amen. (Romans 15:33 BOOKS)

Organic cafe in Tokyo

Posted on by under Food

Ok, I am not vegetarian but as I mentioned I want to eat vegetables a lot…:)
And of course, I want to make delicious vegetable meals to my partner. 🙂

So, I go to any restaurants, I enjoy the meals and try to get an idea for my cooking.

Here is an organic cafe you can eat lots of vegetables and macrobiotic cake for your break. 🙂

Dorobushi Kitchen at FANCL Square in Ginza.

The building has an organic restaurant at 9th floor named Dorobushi.

These restaurant and cafe are owned by FANCL, a cosmetics company that provides the concept of beauty from within.
So, if you go to FANCL square in Ginza, you can eat organic foods and buy cosmetics at the same time.

There are some cosmetics companies have restaurants in Tokyo.
I will tell you some of them in near future. 🙂

Vegan restaurant in Tokyo

Posted on by under Food

I am not vegan…but I try to eat vegetables a lot…:)

I went to a vegan restaurant in Tokyo.
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…

The restaurant I went is one of those restaurants.

If you are hungry about vegetables when you are in Tokyo, this is the one of restaurants you can go. 🙂

Color for early fall season

Posted on by under Colors, Nail

In Tokyo, still really hot and humid.
Yes, still summer.
However, I want to wear some autumn color, since the calendar is close to September. 🙂

What I chose for this time to wear on my nails is Gold.
But, not bright yellow gold like you imagine as a summer color.
I selected more like bronze, so I can feel summer and bit fall season on my nails.

In the nail trend this fall is natural earthy color and dark blue.

Bronze might be categorized into earthy color. 🙂

I will try dark blue in near future…:)

What do you want to wear for this Fall?

Honey

Posted on by under Food

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. 🙂

Counting your blessings

Posted on by under Mind, spiritual

People easily forget what we already have, and tend to complain what we do not have or envy other people what they have.

When we focus on what we do not have, our heart would get more bitterness.

Do you think you do not have anything?

We have life.

Everybody has their own life.

So, the first thing I want to do is that I want to cerebrate I have my life. 🙂

 

BB Cream, CC Cream…

Posted on by under Uncategorized

In the cosmetics market now, BB cream is really hot.

Originally formulated in Germany to cover patient’s scars, and started being blockbuster product as a cosmetic product from Korean cosmetics market, and has been popular in Asian market.

Since last year, major cosmetics companies follow this trend, and now BB cream is popular everywhere.

What is BB cream?

BB stands for blemish balm, and BB cream is all-in-one product. 🙂

And, now after BB cream’s big hit in the market, some cosmetics companies have launched CC cream that stands for color control, and also all-in-one.

I have not yet tried CC cream, but some consumers have found CC cream has lighter texture than BB cream.

Yes, BB cream has heavy texture. 🙂

As a consumer, it is really good to have some options 0f easy and high functional products for daily skincare.

I am now looking forward to seeing next product of CC cream. 🙂

Lavender oil

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Lavender oil is one of the most well known and widely used for relaxation products.

This oil is really easy to use, and powerful. 🙂

As  you might know that lavender and tea tree oils are only used without any base oil.

Healing effect of lavender oil was found by Rene-Maurice Gattefosse’s burns experience that when he got burned on his hand by a laboratory accident.

From the ancient time, people use lavender oil for so many ways to heal and relax people, and of course, people use lavender oil for healing purpose.

According to Web Med, lavender is used for restlessness, insomnia, nervousness, and depression. It is also used for a variety of digestive complaints including meteorism (abdominal swelling from gas in the intestinal or peritoneal cavity), loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea, intestinal gas (flatulence), and upset stomach.

So, if you like the aroma of lavender oil, and if you do not have any allergy, I recommend to keep one bottle of lavender oil at your home to heal your body and mind.

Also, you can use this for massage with base oil and some other aroma oils you like.

I will make a special massage oil with lavender for myself and my partner. 😉
