New iPhone 5 Case

This iPhone case is not baby friendly... the unfortunate truth after I found out the hard way.  By no means is this phone case defected, I love it.  It's so cute and girly and sparkly.  But as my husband already knew before I even took it out of the package, that my two year old would pick at the sparkly jewels.  She broke a piece off the second she got her hands on it.  It was devastating...  I was so sad... but fortunately, the piece glued right back so no permanent damage was done.  And now, I only use this case on baby free occasions which is almost never.  But either way, I love this case, it's so sparkly that I just wanted to own it.

Ta-da!! so sparkly and girly, I especially like the heart shaped pieces

Rilakkuma Happiness Plushes

This set of plushes were released a long time ago, around September of 2007. There were released as a set of 5, but I was only able to find 4 of them. The whole set consists of a Love Rilakkuma , Love korilakkuma, Friend Rila, Friend Kori, and Money kiiroitori. I am currently missing the Korilakkuma Love Plush but that's okay.

I found the two friends rila and kori with the money kiiro in a physical store in Vancouver. I was so excited to find the trio. They were such an old series and to be able to find them was such a joy!! Of course I had to do some inspecting on whether they were authentic or not, and seems to me they were, so I had to bring them home! Then I found the lonely love rila on eBay ^_^

Mother's Day Rilakkuma

I know it's not Mother's Day anymore but I have a little something to blog about that is Rilakkuma and Mother's Day related. I think around April, San-X advertises flower basket deliveries with a Rilakkuma plush in the flower arrangement. And when I saw that, I remembered that San-X once released plushes for Mother's Day! It was way back in April 2008. My hubby got me this plush for Valentine's Day last year not knowing it was a Mother's Day themed plush, but either way, I love it!

San-X released a Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma version, and unfortunately not Kiiroitori, he sometimes gets left out :( Anyway, it comes in a clear box for displaying, and once out of the box, the flower/towel can be put into Rilakkuma's arms. The box tag says that this is a "Arigatou Nuigurumi" meaning "Thank You Plush" and I guess it is used to thank the hardworking mothers who receive this plush from their loved ones. ^_^ The right butt area has a red rose with the words "Thanks Day" embroidered in gold. It is so cute, I am sure the Korilakkuma version would be just as charming in person! According to the promotion picture, the flower bouquet can be unwrapped and turned into a towel and fake rose. I don't think I would ever unwrap it! It's too perfect the way it is now and I probably cannot wrap it back the way it was before. ^_^ Oh, and I am not low on little towels lol.

My clear box is super dusty... shame on me for not cleaning...

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! My daughter got me rilakkuma tees! Not really, it was my wonderful husband hehehe. Too adorable ^_^

The tees are officially licensed from San-X and they are super soft. They quality seems to be very nice as well. The company that makes them is called Goodie Two Sleeves. Never heard of them, but definitely will check them out after finding out they have rilakkuma tees!!! I love the dancing kori design!
