not sure if these are a thing outside of japan/asia but i love the cute plushy ones especially. i could be wearing an all black, grungy outfit , but when you see my bag charm you’ll know i’m a lil softie at heart <3 also complimenting someone else’s bag charm can be a great conversation starter since they can be so personal and unique~!

bag charms are so common here in japan and it's adorable!! seeing the little ways people can express themselves even with uniforms per se (especially when its a cartoon paired with a suitcase)

mayas i’ve saved a bunch of bookoff super bazaars in my google maps and im hoping to go to the ohi weekend flea market - do you think it’s worth it??

nessisokay omg gloomy bear! so cute! i actually just went to oi racecourse flea market today, that’s crazy you mentioned it. i think since its been blowing up on tiktok it’s gotten really crowded and the good things probably sell quickly so if you do go probably best to go as early as possible! otherwise i’d recommend the thrift store chains all around tokyo like 2nd street, trefacstyle, bazzstore & mode off :) they're my faves! in terms of neighborhoods for thrifting, def check out koenji and shimokitazawa. have so much fun !!!

As a child, I accidentally discovered that the sound of a mandarin (or mikan as they’re called in Japan) being peeled has a uniquely soft and gentle sound. Especially when the pith at the top and bottom is torn apart from the mandarin. There’s also a distinctly different sound when the segments of the mandarin are being separated from one another - please try it out :) happy orangeing!

i’m currently doing a 6 month online bootcamp in UX/UI design and will be looking for new jobs come september. coming from a marketing background that i didn’t super enjoy, i’ve found that ux/product design satisfies my desire to be empathetic, communicate and work in a team and tap into my creative side. it’s also really nice that you can pick which sectors you’re into and then create your portfolio case studies to match those types of companies. also if you’re looking to do work with a feeling of purpose or helping others, you can use your role as a designer to advocate for accessible & inclusive design which is pretty cool imo
