[JAPAN] Great cities: Osaka ♥ Shopping at Tennouji part 1

Hello lovelies! ♥
How was your week so far?
The days are going by very fast here in Izumi Migata (Osaka).
I'm already staying here for more than one week!

On Friday I worked at my host family's new house, scooping and carrying soil, it was very exhausting! >_< After that I took a walk over to small shop LAWSON. They sell a couple of fashion magazines:

I bought the November issue of ageha! ^__^

 

Sakurina and Shizuka Muto on the cover, so pretty ♥ ♥ 

 

The extra gift was this cute pouch from Liz Lisa!

 

 

Also, there are a lot of lovely pictures of cute Princess Himena Ousaki inside ♥ ♥  Love her!

 

 

In the evening we had guests for dinner: Two lovely japanese girls who have been to Germany and wanted to meet me! ^__^ It was a fun evening, and they brought us this very delicious cake:

 

 

When I told them I'm planning to visit Lolita and Gyaru Shops in Osaka, luckily one of the girls, Natsuko, knew all the shops and offered to go shopping with me the next day *__* Lucky me!

 

So on Saturday we went together to Osaka Tennouji Station! Right above this train station there are several cute shops:

 

Etude House!! But I didn't buy anything, because I'm planning to do that later in South Korea ♥

 

And, the cutest store of all, MILK !! ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 

Purple Heart bag!! *__* I want it so much ♥  But I really think it would be more reasonable to buy the black one instead (or not buying it at all since it's so expensive -__- )... *sigh*

We asked the shop staff if I could take pictures with them and luckily they said yes!! They were so kind!

 

 

Both looked so lovely!

 

Aaand a picture of me with shop staff haha~ I looked super messy that day but oh well... I wanted to take pictures anyway^^

 

After that we went outside and headed over just a few meters to Q's-mall Shopping centre, where Shibuya 109 Abeno is located *__* But I will write about that in my next post! (just too much pictures haha ^_^)

 

That's it for now, be prepared for more Osaka Shopping posts ^__^

First days in Japan + Make Up Paradise ♥

Hello lovelies,

How was your week so far?

Another two days in Osaka passed and I'm still very busy! ^__^

There's a lot of work to do at my host family's house and working place! I help doing the most cliché japanese work I can imagine: cleaning and restoring old video games and consoles! I love it! xD Really interesting!

Yesterday one of my host family members asked me if I wanted to take public bus after work (at least I thought so) but was really confused later when I was asked to get myself a towel and shampoo ^^''' actually they meant public BATH lol

So this was my very first time ever visiting ONSEN!! ^____^

Onsen from outside! It was soo good ♥  ♥  But well, I guess it's even better in winter since it's still nearly 30°C outside at the moment..

Also yesterday at work we were given some delicious banana cake and coffee!

Aww! Very delicious (and sweet)! It was yellow cake with white cream and real banana inside! you can't see it very well but from the side the cake also looked like a banana!

Today before dinner I went for a 10-minute walk through Izumi City because I wanted to visit Drugstore Eleven!

Lampions eeeeverywhere!

Beautiful Osaka in the evening ♥

Drug Eleven from Outside...

...aaand Inside! *____* I went in and... kinda freaked out :D It was the first shop I visited and I found it so so awesome! I saw all the Make Up and Beauty Products I've only known from the Internet before!

Palty Haircolour!



Beautiful Tsubasa Masuwaka! *__*



Lots and lots of cute stuff! I could have bought everything :D



Dolly Wink False Eyelashes!! *////*



Beautiful Liquid Eyeliner! Maybe I'll buy it next time!



I was so happy spending time at this shop. I know it's a bit foolish but yeah... maybe I'm a weird person~^^'  It just felt so unreal to be there! I mean.. I wanted to go shopping in Japan since I'm eleven years old and even though it was just a small shop it was very special for me! It even got better when they suddenly played Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's Pon Pon Pon! Perfect! Felt like dreaming haha ♥

I had to laugh at this :D kawaii packaged tampons!

More False Eyelashes! So pretty! <33

And of course I also bought a few things.. but it was definitely not my last visit at Drug Eleven!! 

What I bought today:

Pink sparkling small Curling Iron! ^-^ I still have no matching adapter for my Hair Straightener and -Dryer (only phone cable fits -.- ), so this will be very useful! (and cute ^.^)

Cute Lower Lashes I found... I want to buy Dolly Wink ones as well!

 

...aaand Dolly Wink Upper Lashes 'Dolly Sweet'!! Finally! I alway wanted to buy them but why inconvenient online order when you can just buy them instore ;)

So, that's all for now! Tomorrow is my last working day this week and then on weekend I'm planning to do more sightseeing and shopping in beautiful Osaka!

I wish you all a wonderful day!

Arrival in Japan ♥

Hello everyone ♥
How are you?

Soo I finally have time to write an update on my blog about the very exciting things that are going on recently!
On Sunday my parents brought me to Frankfurt Airport by car because at 3:20pm I took the plane to Osaka, Japan!! ♥

Frankfurt Airport

 

I was reeeally excited about the flight, but I must say, at the beginning I was also very sad... because saying goodbye to everyone was really hard for me :( But anyway, I like flying and Emirates Airlines was just great! I could even choose a very delicious vegan meal! Plus I watched the Great Gatsby haha~  



 

 

Sunset over Turkey

 

I had to change to another plane in Dubai!

 



 

Dubai at night! It was so so impressing!

 

 

 

Dubai Airport! Everywhere were palm trees and fountains...

 

 

...aaand luxury shops ^__^

 

I had to wait at Dubai Airport for 4 hours! It was like 11:30pm when I arrived and still 35°C hot!! crazy! haha~ I had two scarves and a jacket on because it was quite cold on the previous plane! I really didn't want to behave like a crazy tourist but two stylish japanese girls waited with me and one had a Nadia bag *__* I couldn't stop staring at it, waaah! ^\\\^ Can't wait to visit the store in Tokyo!  Then plane again:

 

 

 

South Korea!! Awww can't wait to go there too ♥

 

 

And finally Japan!!!

 

I arrived at about 5pm at Kansai International Airport Osaka! ^___^ Still can't believe it! all in all the flight took me more than 18 hours!

While I'm in Japan I will take part in a program called 'WWOOFing' where you can live with a japanese family and help them with work and in return they provide food and a sleeping place! (no money, it's more about cultural exchange).

 

First I needed to take the train to Izumi Fuchu Station, where my host family picked me up. I asked a girl for the right train line and she was so nice and went the whole way with me and showed me everything! ^__^ I was so happy about it! Now we want to meet up again~

 

Everyone at my new place was so nice and friendly! But I was really tired and went to bed early...

Next day (today^^) I took a walk in the morning and enjoyed Izumi City ♥

 

 

 

 

Nice quiet streets

 

 

                                               

 

nice small river <3

 

                                               

 

Lampions everywhere!

 

And this was our lunch today: Ramen! ^__^ ♥

 

                                               

There's so much more to say about this first two days but I guess that's enough for now ;) I'm really looking forward to my time here in Japan!

 

Have a nice day!

 

P.S. can somebody tell me what's written on the lampions? :D
