I just recently tried the Japanese Cherry Blossom Anti-Bacterial Soap from Bath & Body Works.  This is the foaming hand wash with Aloe vera and pro-vitamin B5. I like the foaming soap because it seems like it lasts longer than the regular liquid pump soap.  I usually only have to press the pump half way down to get enough lather to wash my hands.  It's anti-bacterial, so ...

I had a coupon for a free product, with purchase, at Bath & Body Works, so I decided to try the new Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Wash. It comes in an unbreakable plastic 8 oz. bottle that has an easy open flip top.  The opening in the top that dispenses the soap is very small, so it helps conserve the soap, as you don't need very much to get a nice lather. I haven't had mine ve...

I bought this facial cleanser as a go to for when I am traveling.  I thought that the scrubbiness would really agree with my skin, as my skin really loves exfoliating cleansers.  Boy, was I wrong!  I used this for two days, and I suffered a bad breakout.  My skin was very healthy before, but, I was looking for a solid cleanser as an alternative when my liquid wasn't avai...

I haven't researched this piece in detail but when I purchased it approx. 5 years ago the gentleman told me that it was "very old".  His mother had owned this screen and he had inherited it from her.  She had the piece while he was growing up (the 1950's).  He couldn't tell me where she had obtained it or any history it might have but he indicated It had bee...

I bought My Japanese Coach awhile and really enjoyed it; I think it is a great way to learn Japanese because it is both fun and educational it works by first giving the lessons then by having the user play games in order to retain the information thought in thee lessons. One of the things I really like about it is that, they are over 900 lessons so you really get the learn opportunity to learn ...

I had bought Kana De Manga on a whim two years ago. I remember that day as if it was yesterday, It was a saturday morning and I decided to pass the time by buying more books to add to my collection. It was out of Barnes and Nobles or Walden Books (AKA Borders.) I choose to scour the books at Borders since it was less crowded, and as I was searching for something interesting to read -- I came ac...

Rubbing oil on my poor, sensitive, easily-inflamed, volcanic skin?  Oil + oil = acne, correct?Add in the ground up natural abrasives in this molded, shaped cleansing bar and it sounds like a scratchy, awful mess.Sweet Japanese Girl is a cute name for a visibly adorable product--it's shaped like a little Japanese bean cake, the chubby-cheeked face of a little girl.  The packaging i...

Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom perfume and body wash- I love going into Bath and Body Works shops. They smell so good. So recently as a gift I got a bottle of perfume and a bottle of body wash from a line of products that I have not tried before that they carry called Japanese Cherry Blossom. My first thought was uh oh. I generally do not like any perfume or any scent that is str...

The first time I smelled Japanese Cherry Blossom I loved it!  We bought the Wallflower home scent from Bath and Body Works.  Both my husband and I thought it made our home smell great without being obnoxious.  When I got a gift card later, I decided to try the body products.  Yum!The perfume comes in an attractive square bottle made of red glass with a black round cap. ...

One of the things I recently bought at Bath & Body Works was this room spray. I have never used it before but now I am a fan. I really like the japanese cherry blossom scent. It is sweet but not overbearing and all you need to spray is one spray to fragrance the whole room. The day I bought it I sprayed it in my living room and then my son came home about three hours later and the firs...

This is my favorite body cream on the market!  First of all, the cream is thick and goes on smooth and really makes my skin feel soft and moisturized.  I use this several times a day on my hands and they are always soft.  I really love this scent, too.  It has a musky, sweet smell, but is not overpowering.  It is great for nights out and is reminiscent of winter evening...

I'm always searching for a good shower gel at a decent price.  Although this one is slightly higher than I would normally pay, it is well worth the price since it has worked great doing double duty for shaving.  I have been utilizing it for several weeks now and I love this product.  It lathers pretty well considering it is very thick and creamy.  The consistency is...

I swear that I am addicted to body washes and bubble bath! I have recently added Exotic Oil Infusions Japanese by Caress to my always growing collection of body washes. This is a creamy body wash that smells just wonderful. The smell reminds me of a musk type of scent. This body wash doesn't lather a lot because it is more of a creamy oil body wash. This body wash not only smells great, but...

This is a film based off the novel by Koushun Takami, which has been translated into English. To get this film, you can purchase this online or look for a subbed version that may be streaming online. That is how I found it.It's about a game for which an entire ninth grade class is kidnapped, and put on an island reserved just for the game, a year to participate in. The object of the game? B...

Need a sequel? Well, you've got one. The producers of Battle Royale wanted a sequel!This time, Kitano, the man in charge in the last movie, has a daughter named Shiori, whom he had called in the first movie. Shiori wanted to know what her dad was so obsessed about since he never had time for her, though God knows he tried, so she actually signs up her schoolmates for the game. Her schoolmat...

I have always loved Bath & Body Works' products. I love the smell of this their japanese cherry blossom lotion because it stays on long and it moisturizes! The first time I used this, my boyfriend loved the way my hands smell whenever we are together. he first noticed it when he smelled his hands and wondered why they smelled so good. The thing is, as a couple, we held hands together and the fr...

I'm not a big cook by any means. Yet somehow I've amassed some cook books along the way. I love this one in particular because I love sushi. The book covers many other parts of Japanese cuisine, but my heart lies with the rolled and raw stuff. The photographs in this are just glorious. I often peruse the pages in here whenever I have a hankering for nigiri-zushi, but can't get to my...

I got a big tub of Z.E.N. Japanese Green Tea Premium Body Butter from a local organic store. I love the scent! It smelled of minty green, reminiscent of relaxing foot lotions with the peppermint scent.Since it is body butter, it might come as a little greasy for some, but not to me, because I have dry skin. I now put it beside my laptop (where I am most of the day) so that I can easily open its...
