My husband and I flew to Tokyo from Los Angeles. Now, we are finally in Japan!
We were surprised that our airplane was the ANA Star Wars jet, B777-300. :) We arrived in Tokyo on December 28! I'm going to write a quick update about our traveling.
One of the main reasons why we wanted to visit Tokyo was to have a complete medical checkup. Even though we don't have any symptom, we should have a regular medical checkup annually from our point of view as Japanese (Unlike the U.S., many people in Japan take annual medical checkup.). Medical fee is super expensive in the U.S., so we decided to have it in Japan. I'll write about it next time. :) By the way, as I expected, taking gastroscopy wasn't easy. It was very hard for me to swallow an endoscope yesterday.
My husband purchased two pairs of new eyeglasses at J!NS, JINS. As I mentioned in my previous entry, many eyeglass stores sell very affordable stylish eyeglasses in Japan. Our stay in Japan is eligible for tax free program because we have been living abroad for many years. ;) He got eyeglasses with very affordable price.
We walked a lot yesterday. We enjoyed shopping at Tokyu Hands, Loft, Daiso, drugstores, department store and so on! My legs got tired from walking for hours and hours. ;) Unlike the U.S., living in Tokyo doesn't always need to own a car. People in Tokyo use public transportation and walk a lot. No wonder most people in Tokyo are so skinny! :)
That's it! This is my quick update! :)

How to Nivea Facial Pack
1. After washing your face, apply plenty (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) of Nivea Creme on your face.
2. Leave steamed hot towel on your face for 10 minutes. (You can make a steamed hot towel with a microwave oven. Put a damp towel in a plastic bag, and microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds.)
3. Then, wipe excess Nivea cream with the towel and rinse your face with lukewarm water.
How to Nivea Facial Pack in A Bathtub

Nivea Creme |
Does Nivea Creme work just as well as high-end cream? I don't think so, but I think it's worth a try. :) However, if you have oily skin, you might want to skip Nivea Creme for your facial skin.

Namie Amuro Is Going to Perform at NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen This Year!
Namie Amuro (安室 奈美恵), a popular Japanese recording artist and dancer, announced that she would retire from the music industry in September of 2018.
She debuted at age 14 as a singer, and she turned 40 this year. She has been always the top artist of Japan.
Especially, in the 90s, so many Japanese women were inspired by her look. Her female fans were called "Amura (アムラー)" who dyes hair brown and wears a short skirt and long boots. I'm amazed at how beautiful she is also now! I like her smile! :)
This year, she is going to perform at NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (紅白歌合戦), an annual music show on New Year's Eve in Japan. It will be her last appearance on Kohaku Uta Gassen. I'm going to fly to Japan tomorrow, and I hope that I will watch her performance on TV on December 31. :)

3 Best Japanese Sunscreens Won Beauty Award This Year
I believe that sun protection is very important to delay the skin aging
process, so I always wear sunscreen all year round. It's easy to skip the sunscreen during winter, but you really should wear sunscreen even on cloudy rainy days. (Seriously!)
As I mentioned in my previous entry, 3 Best Facial Sheet Masks Loved in Japan This Year, @cosme, a huge Japanese cosmetic review site, has finally released the best beauty awards of 2017. There are many beauty products loved by Japanese women this year. Today, I'm going to share with you three best Japanese sunscreens which won the best beauty award this year. :)
No. 1 Anessa Perfect Sunscreen Aqua Booster SPF 50+ Pa++++ from Shiseido
25ml 1500yen
60ml 3000yen
Can be purchased at most drugstores in Japan
Shiseido Anessa Perfect Sunscreen Aqua Booster was selected as the
best sunscreen award of 2017 by @cosme. Anessa is a high-end sunscreen
brand of Shiseido, so it's pretty expensive. If you go to beach or pool
but don't want to get a tan, I recommend you to try Shiseido
Anessa. You will never get a tan with wearing Anessa. When I lived in
Japan, I tried many Japanese sunscreen products, and I found that Anessa
sunscreen was one of products which truly protect your skin against UV
damage.
No. 2 Cosme Decorte Sun Shelter AG SPF 50+ Pa++++ from Kose
35g 3000yen
Can be purchased at drugstores and department stores in Japan
Kose Cosme Decorte Sun Shelter AG Sunscreen was selected as the second
best sunscreen award of 2017 by @cosme. Cosme Decorte is a high-end
brand of Kose. This sunscreen was first released in 2013 and has so many
positive reviews on @cosme. This is not waterproof sunscreen, so it is
not perfect for swimming. However, it is light texture and very gentle
to your skin with high SPF. Many people review that you never get a sun
tan, and it moisturizes your skin very well. If you have dry skin but
want to wear high SPF sunscreen, this might be perfect for you.
No.3 Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream SPF 50+ Pa++++ from Kao
50g 988yen
Can be purchased at drugstores in Japan
Kao Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream was selected as the third
best sunscreen award of 2017 by @cosme. Japanese Nivea skincare products are made by Kao. These years, classic Nivea cream in blue tin, Nivea Creme, which I think most of my readers have used before, has been very popular in Japan. I've seen it in many Japanese articles, which read that Nivea Creme is very affordable, yet it contains excellent beauty ingredients that high-end beauty cream also has. Have you ever heard of Nivea facial pack? Some Japanese people including Japanese celebrities use Nivea Creme for facial pack (I'll write about it next time.)! I think that Kao created this Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream because of the explosive popularity of classic Nivea cream in Japan. This sunscreen has moisturizing ingredients which classic Nivea cream also has. Many people review that while it is very affordable and has high SPF, it moisturizes skin very well. The texture is lighter than classic Nivea cream, but thicker than gel sunscreen. Many Japanese people love this sunscreen and purchased it again and again this year, but some people review that it irritates their skin, so if you have very sensitive skin, you might want to skip this product.

Anessa Perfect Sunscreen Aqua Booster SPF 50+ Pa++++ from Shiseido |
According to Shiseido, the world's first sun care technology
"WetForce", Shiseido's innovative and proprietary technology, takes sun
care technology to the next level. After it comes into contact with
sweat or water, the layer of sunscreen on the skin becomes more evenly
spread to give a better UV protection. If you like outdoor sports, Anessa is perfect for you.

9 Design Face Packs, Cool and Fun Japanese Facial Sheet Masks from Isshindo Honpo
These years, many Japanese companies have released unique design facial sheet masks, which look like costume face masks but actually moisturize your skin well.
As I mentioned in my last year's entry, Kabuki Face Pack, which is made by Isshindo Honpo (一心堂本舗), was designated as official souvenir of the G7 Ise-Shima Summit. The G7 leaders and the members of foreign media received this Kabuki facial sheet mask in Japan last year. Do you think they actually wore the Kabuki Face Pack?
Isshindo Honpo has released more and more facial sheet masks in Japan. Now, they have over 50 kinds of facial sheet masks, Design Face Packs. I think some of them are very well designed (and the others are too funny!). Regardless of age and sex, people love these facial sheet masks (They actually released Design Face Packs for children as well.). Today, I'm going to share nine Design Face Packs with you. If you are in Japan, you can find these facial sheet masks at Tokyu Hands.
1. Kabuki Face Pack by Somegoro Ichikawa 市川染五郎監修 歌舞伎フェイスパック
2 sheets for 900 yen
Kabuki is a unique Japanese theater form with 400 years of history. When you put this mask on your face, you look like a kabuki actor! These facial sheet masks were created under the supervision of Somegoro Ishikawa, who is a famous kabuki actor.
2. Kyojin Face Pack 進撃の巨人フェイスパック 「超大型巨人」「女型の巨人」
2 Sheets for 900 yen
Shingeki No Kyojin (進撃の巨人), Attack on Titan, is one of popular Japanese TV anime series. I've never watched Shingeki No Kyojin, but I think that these are really well designed!
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas Face Pack ナイトメアー・ビフォア・クリスマス フェイスパック
2 Sheets for 900 yen
These are The Nightmare Before Christmas Face Pack. The Jack one doesn't look like Jack...
4. Tezuka Face Pack 手塚治虫ワールドフェイスパック 「鉄腕アトム」「ブラックジャック」
2 Sheets for 900 yen
Osamu Tezuka (手塚 治虫) was a Japanese manga artist. Tetsuwan Atom (鉄腕アトム), Astro Boy, and Black Jack (ブラックジャック) are popular manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka.
5. Maruko Face Pack ちびまる子ちゃん フェイスパック
1 sheet for 430 yen
Chibi Maruko-chan (ちびまる子ちゃん) is popular manga series written and illustrated by Momoko Sakura (さくら ももこ). When I was a child, I love reading this manga and watching its TV anime series. However, she doesn't look like Maruko...
6. Doraemon Face Pack ドラえもん フェイスパック
1 sheet for 430 yen
Doraemon (ドラえもん) is a popular manga series written and illustrated by Fujiko F. Fujio (藤子・F・不二雄). I think Doraemon is not famous in the U.S., but it's very famous in Asian countries. When I was a child, I love reading Doraemon manga and watching its TV anime series and movies. However, I think that you are probably being scared by a person wearing this Doraemon Face Pack...
7. Dragon Ball Face Pack ドラゴンボール フェイスパック (フリーザ)
1 sheet for 430 yen
Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール) is popular manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama (鳥山明). I also loved it when I was a child in Japan. This facial sheet mask is Freeza design.

Shopping at Target
Last weekend, my husband and I went to Target to check their small
ottomans. As I mentioned in my previous entry, we have been working on
our entryway renovation. As you can see the photo below, we installed new Italian porcelain tiles and luxury vinyl planks. I wanted to put a small storage ottoman in the entryway because it's easier to remove boots while having a seat. :)
There are some ottomans I liked at Target. :)
This one has classic and elegant look, and he liked it.
I liked this round storage ottoman. This one is smaller, but I think it's big enough for our small entryway.
I found this navy blue one on Target website, but they didn't have one in-store.
We didn't buy any ottoman that day. I hope they will have on sale for ottomans soon. :)
I also wanted to buy new weekly planner for the coming year at Target. The left one is the 2017 weekly planner, Blue Sky Egg Press Cotton Flower 2017 Weekly Monthly Planner, I purchased at Target last year and I'm currently using. I really like it. :) I eventually bought the 2018 weekly planner, Mead 2018 Weekly Monthly Planner, the right one, at Target. It was about $8. ;)
It's very simple gold ring bound and gold print planner and has beautiful sky blue ombre design. :)
I like that this weekly planner has plenty of writing spaces. :)
I will stay organized with it next year. :) Have you gotten a new planner for 2018?

3 Best Japanese Eye Creams Won Beauty Award This Year
As I mentioned in my previous entry, 3 Best Facial Sheet Masks Loved in Japan This Year, @cosme, a huge Japanese cosmetic review
site, has finally released the best beauty awards of 2017. There
are many beauty products loved by Japanese women this year. Today,
I'm going to share with you three best eye creams which won the best beauty award this year. :)
I believe that applying eye cream every day is very important because the skin around eye area is thinnest in the body and is the first to show age. In my opinion, if you are in your 20s, you should start using eye cream to moisturize around eye area, but you don't really need super high-end one yet. If you have visible wrinkles, you might want to use high-end anti-aging eye cream, which reduces wrinkles. Those are sometimes too strong to your thinnest skin, so try to use a tiny tiny tiny amount of it for your first time. :)
No.1 Pola Wrinkle Shot Medical Serum ポーラ リンクルショット メディカルセラム
20g for 15000yen
Can be purchased at Pola branches and department stores in Japan.
Pola Wrinkle Shot Medical Serum was ranked number one as the
best eye care award of 2017 by @cosme! Since this eye serum released
this year, it has already won 23 beauty awards from many Japanese beauty
magazines and etc. Many people review that they noticed it reduces fine lines and wrinkles in just 4 to 12 weeks!
According to Pola, Pola Wrinkle Shot Medical Serum works for grade three to five wrinkles (It works for people who have visible wrinkles.). I think that if you are in your 20s and don't have any wrinkles, you probably don't need this eye serum. :)
How to Apply
・Apply a small amount (about size of two rice grains) of it around the eyes and other spotted wrinkle areas after applying keshosui (Japanese toning lotion). Then, apply nyueki (Japanese milky lotion) and facial cream.
・Apply it twice a day.

I believe that applying eye cream every day is very important because the skin around eye area is thinnest in the body and is the first to show age. In my opinion, if you are in your 20s, you should start using eye cream to moisturize around eye area, but you don't really need super high-end one yet. If you have visible wrinkles, you might want to use high-end anti-aging eye cream, which reduces wrinkles. Those are sometimes too strong to your thinnest skin, so try to use a tiny tiny tiny amount of it for your first time. :)
