Raspberry Puree Body Lotion

I was really busy today, I mean yesterday!

I just realized that "Raspberry Puree Body Lotion" that I bought in NY was really nice! I should have bought two or more. To tell the truth, I believed that The Body Shop does not have a lightweight body lotion even if it says lightweight! I think I need to try things once again after a while to make sure before I get any wrong ideas!

Anyway, it was on sale at $8.00! Worth to try ;)

Oops! It is alredy 0:40! I need to go to bed!!!

Peking Duck @ Koumibou

Hi there! As I said on Friday, my bf and I went out to eat Peking Duck with my family on Saturday. I think it's been almost half a year since we all gathered together! My family live very close, only a 30 minute walk away from my house, but we just didn't have a chance to see them. Funny, right?!

Anyway, we've been to Koumibou (creative Chinese restaurant). I wrote about this restaurant before. Last time, we couldn't have the Peking Duck because the portion was too big for two people. However, this time we could! But still, a whole duck was too big for six people, so we ordered half a duck. Ramen that uses the broth of the duck was really delicious!!!

Other dishes we had were great, too! Especially "the salad with fried rice cake pieces" and "marinated bonito" were fabulous. We had a great time!

This weekend was sunny, so I didn't have a chance to take a picture wearing my new rain boots. Sorry jose! But I wore a dress that I bought at forever 21 in NY on this day ;) I also got this cardigan at forever 21, almost 7 years ago! I think they used to have much nicer clothes than now at that time... what do you think?!

It is getting cloudy now. We expect rain from this afternoon X(

Okay, I gotta go now.
I have too many deadlines due 31st...
See ya!!!

Healthy Kit Kat Rare Cheesecake

This is my award winning recipe at Kit Kat recipe contest. It's a cheesecake using Kit Kat, yogurt and cottage cheese. Only 165 Kcal per serving, plus it contains a lot of calcium! Just mix and refrigerate! Really easy and healthy sweet treat ;)

Actually, I used lemon vinegar flavored Kit Kat (limited flavor in Japan) for this recipe but regular chocolate flavored one + lemon juice can be substituted for it.

This morning, I walked in heavy rain. At the time I reached to the station, my clothes were all wet even I used umbrella. But somehow it stopped by the time I reached to work... too bad.

Tomorrow, my bf and I are going to have dinner with my family at a Chinese restaurant! We are going to have Peking duck there ;)

See you next week!
