Bisoulovely x Madoka Magica ♡ unboxing & review

 Good morning everybun!

For today's blog post, I’m so excited to be sharing my thoughts on the new Bisoulovely X Madoka Magica collaboration!♡

This exciting collaboration was announced (coincidentally in time with the new Madoka Magica movie) this month. The collection features jewellery of the 5 main girls; Mami, Sayaka, Homura, Kyoko and of course, Madoka!!~ ♪ I just filmed a unboxing video on my Instagram, so I will leave the link here if you want to check that out to to see the pieces in detail on video. You can follow Bisoulovely here for more details about the release dates~ ♪ The current release date for this collection is eighth of September and the pre-orders are open right now, so if you see anything you’d like in this post, it’s available for sale now!~

Although this post includes gifted items from Bisoulovely, all my thoughts on my own, and I will be giving an honest review and opinion of this collection♡

The first thing upon receiving this package that I noticed is how beautiful the packaging is. I adore the baby pink box  and I also love the moon and star wrapping paper!~This packaging really makes you feel that Bisoulovely cares about their customers and put so much effort into the design so that when you open it it feels like a happy present♡ I really appreciate small details like this as I think this is what distinguishes a luxury jewellery brand from a regular cute brand. 

Of course, the next thing that I noticed was how adorable this Bisoulovely x Madoka Magica box is!~ The artwork on these boxes is from the Madomagi anime and I remember as a child I had this art as a wall scroll on my wall. This is so nostalgic and cute and such a good choice for the jewelry collection box. I also really appreciate how colourful it is♡ I’m really excited to display this box on my Madoka Magica figure collection shelf hehe!

Of course, I instantly fell in love with this beautiful Madoka ring♡ The colour choice is really elegant, with the rose gold and pastel pink details as well as beautiful, small, white gems. I really love how the side of the ring has little ribbons, reminiscent of Madoka’s dress with ribbons on the side and a tear shape gem similar to her soul gem. The ribbon on the top of the ring also reminds me of how Madoka wears her soul gem with a ribbon round her neck. Quality wise, this ring feels really comfortable and fit is perfect. It feels like a really beautiful well-made ring and I think that is what separates Bisoulovely from other cute anime-type jewellery brands…

One major concern with anime related goods is that they are not always very versatile and can sometimes clash with your regular clothes. This is the exact opposite from the jewellery Bisoulovely makes!~ ♪  I am confident I can wear this ring with any dress in my wardrobe and it will match perfectly. This design is so perfect for girls who love cute and sweet things. I think that a lot of people will love this jewellery line, even if you don’t know this anime… although if you don’t know MadoMagi please watch it hehe

Overall, I would absolutely recommend this collection to any MadoMagi fan.

The pieces I was sent are so beautiful and the quality is amazing~ I will definitely be recommending Bisoulovely to all of my friends who ask me and wearing these pieces in my next Instagram posts hehe♡

Thank you so much for reading, I hope this inspires you to have a look at Bisoulovely angels~

Lots of love,

♡ Sanrio Puroland | How to meet My Melody & the best ryousangata photo spots!~ ♡

 Good morning everybun! ♡

For today's blog post, I really wanted to share some of the cute and happy moments from a super fun day at Sanrio Puroland with my adorable friend, and also some of my favourite photo spots that are popular with Jirai-kei and Ryousangata type girls, as well as advice for if you are thinking of visiting Puroland too~ ♪

This was my 4th visit to Puroland, and one of the best visits I’ve had there….! We managed to see so many things and enjoy the cute Puro atmosphere, as well as take so many cute photos hehe…! ♪ I went with my dear friend Amane (babu_melo on instagram and Twitter) and we wore matching coordinates from Ank Rouge, with Piano chan (My Melody’s adorable sheep friend♡) accessories~

Outfit details 

Dress: Ank Rouge x Sweet Piano

Pouch bag: Sanrio Sweet Piano Birthday 2023 collection

Headband: Sanrio Sweet Piano Birthday 2023 collection

Hair ribbons: Paris Kids

Shoes: Buffalo 

Photo recommendation: heart headband pose 

This adorable pose is one I was inspired to try from photos on insta, but it’s where you pose the headbands together to look a little like a heart!~ This works best with matching headbands, but you can also try a cute contrast like My Melody and Kuromi ♡

You can use many different backgrounds for this pose depending on the characters you’re representing, but I recommend a background that has shows some of Puroland’s adorable wallpaper, like this one outside of ‘Lady Kitty’s Mansion’~♪  For an extra bit of cuteness, make sure to show your cute ita nails in the photo, and edit in sparkles with an app like ‘Snow’!

Photo recommendation: character greeting 

For the next photo, I wanted to share a cute candid from meeting my idol, My Melody!
In order to meet the Puro cast, you can check their app or website to see what characters are available that day~♪ Next, book a slot on the machines that can be found in the Puro Village (bottom floor) near the Wisdom Tree, in the entertainment hall. If you really love a character and it’s your dream to meet them, I really recommend researching the day they’re at Puro beforehand so you can definitely meet them! ♡

This was my first time meeting My Melo, despite having gone to Puroland so many times.. and it was so so special! She is so sweet, and a huge thank you to my sweet friend Amane for helping me to meet her (it can be a little stressful to organise !)

For my photo recommendation for this spot, I would say candid hugging photos are really the cutest for sure!! the staff take many photos for you, and it is a really adorable keepsake. For the character meet, it’s best to enjoy yourself and the photos will definitely be cute!~♪ 

Photo recommendation: My Melo drive

This adorable strawberry wall is in the entertainment hall of puroland, and has become one of my favourite photo spots for how cute and perfect it is!♡
The My Melo car is actually the same as the ones on ‘My Melo Drive’ ride, which you can also get a souvenir photo of. However, this photo spot is a little more cute because of the background, and you can get a better quality, closer up photo~♪

Photo recommendation: strawberry carriage 

This might be my favourite photo spot ever…♡

I really felt like a Princess, and the pastel pink colours are too perfect. You can also take photos in this carriage with friends, or bring your itabag hehe~
This photo spot is too adorable, and is conveniently located next to Lady Kitty’s House!

Photo recommendation: My Melody’s room

This photo spot is seriously perfect for My Melody theme codes♡

The twin chairs would look super cute with a friend, and you can get creative with props and accessories to match the delicious cake!

I really loved the delicate cherry blossom background too, so beautiful…

and the statue of My Melody is too perfect for outfit codes ! I recommend wearing platform shoes for this pose~

Photo recommendation: Puro Shop 

One of my favourite photo types is to pose with various merchandise I really love at Sanrio Puroland…!~♪

This particular shop is for a character called ‘Wish me Mell’, an adorable fluffy white bunny with a rainbow tail. I really loved how pink it was, so it was perfect for photos

Thank you so much for reading angels♡

I also have more Puro photos in one of my previous trip blog posts, which you can read here ! Hopefully I’ve covered all the cutest photo spots here, but there’s even more in that post hehe… I’ll also be planning new photo ideas and a vlog too on my next trip, so please look forward to that~♪

Lots of love,

I moved to Tokyo! ♡ A little life update…

 Hello everybun!♡

It’s been a little while since I wrote on this blog, so I thought I’d write a little life update about moving from London to Tokyo, and a couple other little updates…~♪

I actually was going to answer a lot of these questions on YouTube, but due to my studies being so demanding, I thought I’d write something here first while I’m still finding my footing, and sort out the full Q&A once I’m more settled, hehe! ♡ These will just be more basic questions, so please be patient with me while I prepare the full Q&A~

When did you move to Japan?

I think this question is probably the most asked one, that is easy to answer !
I moved to Tokyo this year, in April. The reason for this is because my birthday is in March so I could enjoy that day with family and friends, and then school in Japan tends to start in April too  ~♪ You can also enjoy the cherry blossom season at this time as well, so it’s perfect…

How did you move to Japan? 

This seems to be another question I get asked a lot, and while I think I’ll need to simplify it a lot for a blog post, I’ll try my best to explain !

So, I am studying Japanese language in Tokyo, which means I am on a student visa!

If you have a student visa, the school is responsible for helping you move to Japan♡

I actually had to choose between very little schools, as due to my health conditions most schools would not accept me due to being a ‘liability’… it was a little upsetting, for sure! But I didn’t let that stop me, and finally found a school that was right for me. 

Of course, this involved a lot of paper work like finding my old school records, birth certificate, proof of residence, etc, but it’s definitely worth it!~♪

I really recommend doing your research into the best school for you, as it really differs from person to person~

Why did you move to Japan 

So this question has so many answers, too..!♡

To be honest, I just felt that this was the natural step in my life that I needed to make, and very important to me.

I had been in university studying philosophy in the UK, graduated with my degree, and started a full time job at an office. However, I didn’t feel the job was the right fit for me, and I was worried I’d be living a life full of regrets for not chasing my dreams…

I also felt like I’d just been in this very dark place for a few years, and I needed to get out of there; maybe one day I will talk about this, but moving to Tokyo to achieve my dreams really felt like the last option I had left. Of course, it’s not easy, and perhaps moving to a country with not the best care for mental health wasn’t the smartest idea.. but for me, it really was that or nothing!

  Of course, this isn’t just because I adore the fashion, cute goods and cultural aspects of Japan, I actually find learning Japanese to be really fun and rewarding!

As a city girl from London, Tokyo really feels fun to me and I knew that it would be a great place to live, with many like minded people♡

My goal in Tokyo is to become more confident in my Japanese, and to follow my passions, no matter how hard it might be. I refuse to let health issues stop me!~♪

How is life in Tokyo, Japan so far? 

I think so far things are going well for my new life here !

It can be so stressful and overwhelming at times, as there is a lot of work, and managing all aspects of your life at once can be very tiring. However, overall I know that this was the right decision for me, and that living here has many benefits~♪

I’ve met so many lovely people, been to so many amazing places and learnt a lot, although it’s only been 2 months of me living here…!
Also, Tokyo has many cure places to visit like themed cafes, rabbit themed shops, girly clothes, beautiful nature and more, so I really have been enjoying living here… I even started a YouTube channel to document these cute places that I’ve found so far, and filming for that has been so much fun!♡

Thank you for reading this little update, and I’m looking forward to sharing more content with you all…!

Lots of love,
