New Subscription Alert: Inspire Me Korea

          This is the first box from this subscription and the reason I got it was a) because it promises a look at the culture and b) it promises Korean goods. So here we go. The first thing that I noticed was that there was no information card to tell me what is in the box. However, if you go looking on their website you can find some information there. The theme for this box is music.

          The first thing to come out of the box was this issue of Inspire Me Korea. I think I’m going to look around on the internet for the previous issues. It has some interesting stuff in it about the people, places, and culture. 

          This hat is one that I have seen a few Kpop artists wear, one of which is one of my favorites Taemin from Shinee. 

          Korea is well known for its sheet masks and this box contains one; I can’t wait to try it out!

          The next item is a cute one, it is a sheet of Chibi stickers of the members of different Kpop groups. The names of the members and the groups they belong to are listed in case you can’t tell who they are. 

          Next up is something yummy. Included in the box was a pack of Butter Coconut cookies and a pack of Kimchi Ramyeon. The cookies disappeared before I could show you what they looked like on the inside (they disappeared into my stomach übber yummy) and this is the Kimchi ramyeon. I like mine with no soup and an egg so that is why it looks like that. BUT YUMMY!!!!!

          Also included in the box are some Kpop cards and some buttons with Kpop lyrics on them. The cards are EXO members and the lyric button one belongs to BlackPink (Hit you with that...) and the second I THINK belongs to BTS (Don’t hate me, while I like BTS I don’t actually Stan them so I’m not familiar with all their songs) .

        I like this box so far. For what it processes to do, it is doing it well. So I’m looking forward to the next box from Inspire Me Korea.

New subscription Alert!! Neko Box - Kissaten Coffee

          This is my first Neko Box. I get the Zakka Kit from the same company though and I love it. The theme for this box is Kissaten Coffee.  The first thing that I saw as I opened my box was the information booklet. 

          Inside the booklet there is the information on what is inside the box, information about the Kissaten Culture and information on an antique cafe. On the back of the booklet there are two recipes, one for coffee and one for cake.

          Then I opened the wrapping and took at the first item; Asanoha Cotton Cloth by Seirai Gokachi. I love the material of the cloth!

          The next two items are linked together. A coffee cup and its saucer, both of them striped, by Tokusa. There are three colors dark blue, rich brown and cream. I got the brown one. 

          The next item is really cute. It is a two-color Glazed Mini Bowl by Tasai Kitchen. It either comes in blue or cream, mine is blue and it is used to either serve sweets or sugar. 

          Finally, a Kissaten Art Print by Neko Box. It is printed on Japanese paper. It arrived a little crumbled but nothing that can’t be fixed.

          Overall, I’m very please with my first Neko box. I love my coffee cup and saucer as well as the mini bowl and cloth. The print is really pretty too.

NEW SUBSCRIPTION ALERT - Cloth & Paper - January 2018

          Hey gang! I've got a new subscription from Cratejoy and Cloth & Paper to show you all. This is a subscription that offers two boxes for you to choose from or you can do like I did and subscribe to both 😆. The cost of subscribing to both is 48 dollars with shipping. The small box is called Peninspiration because it is a subscription of purely pens and the larger box is called Stationery Box. The theme for the two boxes for the month of January is "You're a Boss!"

          So let's begin with the Stationery Box. The box itself was a little banged up from flying around the world but the stuff inside was all safe and sound, and there was a lot of stuff!

          First up are the foiled index cards. There are two packets of 12 index cards 14 pointed uncoated card stock with matte gold foil finishing.

          If I should ever lose my mind and show you a picture of my desk you'll understand why I am always so happy to have sticky notes...these are a bit...MORE. 2 packs of Memorandum sticky notes each pack has 25 pages so 50 pages in total.

          This is the Memorandum notepad with 14 point card stock pages and simple design for writing down things on the go if you don't have your Agenda with you. This would fit perfectly in any bag.

          I was thinking of shaking up my Agenda a bit and this product is perfect. It is the A5 Memorandum insert notepad and I'm looking forward to adding it to my William Hannah to see if it works for me.

          This is really cute, it is a sticker sheet with all the interesting little icons that could be added to any agenda or organizer.

          Now, the final product in the Stationery Box is the pen. The Icon Rollerball pen is peach colored and writes in black. What I love about this is that it is refillable.

          Now let's look at the Peninspiration subscription. This box has 6 pens, the pink black and silver pens that look the same are all by Miaguang and write in black. The other pink and green pens are by Aihao and write in pink and green. Finally, the black one that looks like a Sakura pen is called Truecolor and writes in black. I've never heard of these pens but they write consistently and are very smooth.
