5 / 8 / 15

Japanese companies have transformed everything from ramen to beauty products into anthropomorphized boyfriends, but the Tabegoro Kareshi Ikusei Setto marks the first time I’ve ever seen everyday vegetable seeds marketed as cute anime boys. Aimed at encouraging women to start their own home gardens, there are six different seeds available, each with their own male mascot. So, who’s your type?

Come explore the Eco Town in Fountain Valley with Come explore the Eco Town in Fountain Valley with me and @marquisdegame! There were so many neat finds, from Reboot figures (anyone remember that show??) to merch featuring my fav Touken Ranbu sword boy! 🗡️ 
It was a lot of fun getting out of my comfort zone to film this when I was out the other day. I'd love to share more locations near my new home in California - let me know if you'd like to see more reels like this!

🌱 Ever Oasis 🌱 I’ve been really enjoying 🌱 Ever Oasis 🌱 
I’ve been really enjoying brushing off the dust from my 3DS’s this month! On a whim, I decided to finally try Ever Oasis for #ARPGAugust, and I’m really enjoying it so far. It has a really pleasant mix of town building and exploring! Plus, the characters are really cute 😍 the director Koichi Ishii is famous for creating the Mana series, so it’s got a very good pedigree! Has anyone else played this game?
