What Makes Food "Kawaii" Food?

To answer the wondrous question of "What makes food "kawaii" food?" one should first look at the food and wonder what kind of emotions do this food bring out in you? If the food makes you think of cute, snuggles, love, and everything that makes you say awwww, well then you have yourself some Official Kawaii Food!

A CHECKLIST to see if your food is KAWAII or not :

Is your food served on a super cute plate ? It is KAWAII FOOD!
Is your food colored pastel colors and/or rainbow in color ? It is KAWAII FOOD!
Is your food served on a cute plate, or you have a cute cup to drink out of ? It is KAWAII FOOD!
Does your utensils look cute and/or have bows, hearts, or even faces of kitties? It is KAWAII FOOD!


Since the word Kawaii means cute, cute food is Kawaii!

You can even make your own food kawaii but just altering some of it. If you wanted to make your meal kawaii you need to ask yourself what can I do to make this food cute? Simple things such as changing the colors of a food by adding food safe dyes and gels can make a simple plate of food spring up with pastels and rainbows. You can even cut your food into kawaii inspired shapes and animals. Instead of making your plate of pancakes ordinary, make them kawaii extraordinary by making them into hearts by hand pouring them from a bottle with a nozzle tip, you can even use a metal cookie cutter to pour your batter into to hold the shape. If you want your regular circle pancakes you can make them kawaii by using toppings to turn them into kawaii creations.

Turning your lunch time foods into lunch time kawaii foods can be super easy using sandwich cutters, and various other vegetable and fruit cutters to help you transform your meals into kawaii creations.

You can take a regular pie or cake and transform it into something else! With pink and green dye and chocolate chips you can make a pie look like a watermelon! How cute is that!!!!

If you want to take your food into an extra "Kawaii" step you can use plates, cups and utensils that are kawaii and make your kawaii foods into super kawaii foods! Having these items decorated with your favorite anime and cartoon characters as well as cute bears, frogs, pigs, ducks you can eat kawaii foods everyday at anytime! Keep an eye out for pastel pinks, blues, greens, yellows, orange and purples because these are key colors in kawaii kitchen utensils and plates! As well as ones decorated with bows, hearts, stars just to name a few.


With Kawaii Foods, nothing is limited! Use your imagination and create your own Kawaii food!

Super Kawaii J-Fashion Hrajuku style Clear BOWS!

Have you seen the latest in Super Kawaii J-Fashion Harajuku style bows? This clear plastic bow trend can not be missed! These bows are made out of super lightweight yet durable plastic and filled with cute things such as feathers, beads, just about anything you can think of! I created these bows from my own childhood of growing up in the 90's and rocking a certain clear wallet that had a little plastic 2D mermaid hanging out/ floating in glitter water. It was my favorite item as a kid to carry my change in and to look at as if my own coins were submerged in a fantasy wonderland. I just had to recreate the wonder of having fun cute things in a fantasy world and merging it with my love of Kawaii J-Fashion Harajuku style, so I created these clear plastic bows. I hope to make more items in clear plastic and to expand into more wonderful fantasy items.

Want to rock your own? You can pick one up in my Etsy shop http://www.RainbowFlair.Etsy.com! But do not wait! Only 1 of each are left! Grab them up soon before they sell out!

Kohls My One Stop Shop!

I am a lover and a huge Fan of Influenster who sends out items for testing and review.

Recently I got the Kohls Back 2 School VoxBox! And boy was I excited! Why? Not because it was only free but because it was KOHLS! If only you knew how fast I took my free gift card and turned it into a pair of really awesome jeans because what is back to school without some new jeans!!! 

Shopping at Kohls since it opened here in Florida has been a dream! I first visited it in Chicago before we had one and it had everything! It was so cold outside that us Floridians did not have any type of winter items so obviously we had to shop for some! Kohls had it all and for cheap! Gloves, scarves and heavy duty jackets! We finally got one in Florida and we have been shopping in it since. It literally has a section for everyone and everything. Need a crockpot? They have one. Need some panties? Yeah I just said that..because they have those too. Need toys, perfume, makeup, a blazer, a hat? They have all that and more. Looks has the best cousins and email offers for online and in shop along with door buster sale. And returns are super easy! Buy it online? No problem it can be returned in the shop no questions asked. I really do love kohl's and I honestly can't say enough about it. It is my own one stop shop. I want to thank Influenster for sending me the free gift card for testing purposes and for always sending me items to review.

Sailor Moon Transfers! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Sailor Moon Transfers! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

In the 90's a cool thing to do was to decorate your binders, backpacks, boxes, and basically EVERYTHING! We had these things called "Transfers" which are images on plastic printed but printed in a way that you could take this image and put in on an item. The way they made these were that they printed this image with the image being printed in a layer and having the image be printed in the back of the plastic and not on top like a traditional printer would print. I know that is alot to process but you will understand once you see how these work, So along with the trend we got Sailor Moon ones to decorate our stuff and be a totally cool kid rocking the scouts on our stuff.

This Transfer I bought from a shop named Spencer's (which is still the most rocking shop today! TAKE ME TO SPENCERS! <=== CLICK to shop)
And it was not really that costly to buy these. BUT and this is the big but with Transfers is that once you use it you can not RE-use it. So basically you are stuck with using the image on whatever you used it on. You can not take it off and reposition it and you can not fix it if you put it on
crooked :(


This Sailor Moon Transfer had a certain amount of characters on it and came with a Popsicle stick! That is right that is how you "rub" the transfer on to an item. You take your item, clean is well and put the plastic on top and take that stick and rub the image from top to bottom till it pulls off the plastic sheet and gets stuck on to whatever you put it on. These do not work for putting them on yourself and are not water proof. Over time they will not rub off and if you bought them today they probably would not work due to how ever they were stored (the heat, the moisture of places weaken and damage items like this).

You can find these still on sites like ebay but again buy with caution due to the fact that they are old and may not transfer.

Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! LUNA IRWIN PLUSH CAT STUFFED ANIMAL! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! LUNA IRWIN PLUSH CAT STUFFED ANIMAL! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Now this kitty know hows to meow and she is the head of the Sailor Scout team who is she? She is Luna the smart, witty kitty of Sailor Moon.

The launch of this plush was very popular and had her other fellow feline Artemis along with the scouts. I bought mine as a kid from the comic book store that we would drive about an hour to get to just to see what new Sailor Moon items they got in. And it was well worth the drive to get to buy Luna. Back in the day $15.00 dollars was a lot unlike today but again she was well worth it.
This official Sailor Moon Luna plush is purple (yup purple, not black , gray or anything like that color) and had brown eyes. She has a felt crescent moon on her head in bright yellow and she is VERY well stuffed. Today I still have her and that just goes to show how well made she is. She is still stuffed as if I bought her brand new. Her whiskers are tough things as well because they are really good plastic and can stand a good throw/toss around the room.
This Luna plush has her tail sewed tightly to her side so you can not move it around or flick it around. She is in a standing position (like many classy cats like to stand) and is ready to give guidance.

This is her tag is white in color with a black print with official information. She does not come in a closed box, but she comes sitting in this little cardboard half box.
You can find her today on sites such as ebay etc... but ALWAYS be aware that these items are NOT new and might have some CREATURES crawling in them!!!!! When buying stuffed toys that are more than a year old be VERY AWARE that the percentage of getting bugs in your stuffed animals is very HIGH!!!!

Sailor Moon plastic wrist watch! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Sailor Moon plastic wrist watch! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Tic Tock Tick Tock What time is it? I know! Its time to look at the clock on my wrist! It is a Sailor Moon wrist watch! Today no one really rocks any kind of wrist bling, but in the 1990's it was mandatory to have a wrist watch! The watch I had was a Sailor Moon plastic band wrist watch with all the Sailor Scouts on it.

This watch was purchased at that wonderful store I loved so much as a kid Claries. This watch is plastic, has the Sailor Scouts with their faces on it and worked and still works perfectly. Over time the watch did rub off some of the faces pf the scouts since they are imprinted on the back of the straps. But other then that it is still as vibrant as the day I purchased it. It is an official Sailor Moon item and was selling for about twelve dollars.

Sailor Moon Vintage Un-official kitchen Tea set! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Sailor Moon Vintage Un-official kitchen set!
What better way to play house than with an un-official Sailor Moon kitchen set!!!
That is right lets get cooking!
This set is un-official but it does not lack in pictures of the scouts all over it! Making this item great is the details and the graphics!

With a blue fork, plate, and cup, a yellow spoon, plate and cup and a red knife, plate and cup this set is complete to play with and have all your cool guys and gals over for some imaginary food! Did you also notice that it is in the colors of Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars! But where is Sailor Jupiter? Oh well. I picked this awesome toy up at a dollar store which to tell you the truth has the most absolutly fabulous un-official and sometimes official sailor moon items! It is my most favorite place to hunt for sailor moon stuff! Looking at the details did you notice what is missing on Usagi/Serena ? You guessed it her most famous Odangos/ meat balls on her head! But that is no big deal because it is un-official, less than five dollars and is still fabulous Sailor Moon find!

The Wonder Woman Movie is WOMAN-TASTIC!

The Wonder Woman Movie is WOMAN-TASTIC!

Can you imagine so much girl power in one setting to make you feel empowered? Well that is what the NEW Wonder Woman movie is all about. Girl power at its best, and the amount of feminism is enough to make you want to dress like Wonder Woman.

I will not give out any spoilers but if you are looking for a movie to motivate all sexes and races than this is the movie for you. Wonder Woman is not new to many, she is a house hold name in many homes and those who read comics are die hard fans.

But what makes Wonder Woman WONDERFUL? The answer to that is different to everyone but the common thing that many can agree to is that she is a motivation to who ever watches her or even reads about her. She is a female and a super human female at that. She stands for justice, she protects those around her, she doesn't take anything but the truth and she does it with flowing, long, powerful locks of black hair.

Wonder Woman is not new in a sense that she has been around since 1941. Is she old? Sure she is. But is she still the same Wonder Woman as she once was? No. And that is only because she got better over time like a fine bottle of wine.

Lynda Carter took on the role of Wonder Woman and rocked out on Television over many years with the series still running on the channel MeTV (check your local listings for times and dates but if you live on the East Coast it comes on EVERY Sunday at 8:00pm). Lynda Carter turned heads and herself (to change in to Wonder Woman that is) when she made her Television debut as Wonder Woman in the 70's! In 1975 Lynda Carter took views into the world of Wonder Woman and the many challenges she faced as the world faced them as well. Setting the bar high the Wonder Woman movie had indeed that bar to break!

Today's Wonder Woman is stronger, more independent, and can take on Superman and Batman both at the same time and not break a sweat. I will not give away anymore but if you have not seen it yet.. you MUST GO! YOU MUST FLY! YOU MUST SEE WONDER WOMAN!

Get ready to gear up in August 20017 when the NEXT Super Heros movie drops with ...yup you guessed it WONDER WOMAN in it!

Knit? Nope I do not Knit But I did visit a place that does just that!

Finally took a trip to ImaginKNIT shop! My outlook on this place ? READ ON and SEE..
All in all it could have been better in my opnion, Sale area for yarn was nice for GREAT quality! Tiny place it is, but stuffy it was not which is good since being around yarn it tends to get very hot inside even with the A/C on. Not much selection of magazines, crochet accessories was at a LOW and knitting needles were costly! I would only go back for the sale on yarn. Service was okay...could have been much better seeing that only five people were in the store and two of them were owners.

Sailor Moon Red Pen and Pencil Zipper Case, Sailor Moon Wedding Stationary, and Sailor Moon mini phone strap/ camera strap! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

Sailor Moon Red Pen and Pencil Zipper Case! Sailor Moon Vintage 90s Item! It's Sailor Moon Sunday LETS GET STARTED!

When I went to Chicago for a vacation I went into a mall that had a shop called "Too Cool" which I know does not sound like a legit shop. Well this shop had EVERYTHING anime in it and was exactly what the shop was called TOO COOL! At this shop I picked up about four Sailor Moon items. They were brand new, greatly priced and made my whole vacation because at that time Sailor Moon was disappearing in the States.

Below are a Sailor Moon Red Pen and Pencil Zipper Case with the original Sailor Moon brooch in the silver tone hanging off of the zipper as a zipper pull. Vibrant in color and had a chibi moon and sailor moon floating in the air with wings tag.

A mini clip board with Sailor Moon on it and an extra pad of paper in the back

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask wedding stationary with printed envelopes

And a little sailor moon camera strap/ sailor moon phone strap with a tiny tiny Moon hanging off of the strap.
