Have you seen the new Eevee Tamagotchi models available in Japan? It’s totally adorable! Of course, I had to pick one up, and I used the opportunity to film an unboxing video! In the video, I also hatch my first Eevee and go through how to play it in Japanese. Check it out below!
I’ve been following PaletteMeli on Instagram for a while now, and I always love her adorable pastel designs!

I love how my February Favorites roundup is at two extremes: on one end, I purchased a sticker book that is meant for children, and on the other, I’m perfecting the very boring yet adult art of organizing my clothes.

In our first episode of 2017, we take a trip in a time machine… All the way back to November 2016 (when this episode was originally recorded)!

Happy year of the rooster, everyone!
