Beauty Strategy

Since I don't eat meat, I have limited choice when it comes to food.
And Vegetarian is still unfamiliar in Japan.
Thus, I tend to have lots of sweets, carbos and french fries especially when I eat out.

I was considering it was a sacrifice to stand in belief
and always thought vegetarian was a fattening diet.

But I was wrong. I had been too neglected and ignored about nutrition and the fact that foods create my body!

I just read a beauty and health book which written by Erica Angyal who is a nutritionist and consultant to the Japanese miss universe winners.
She recommends having brown foods, nuts and dried fruits and avoid oxidizable products such as white soft sugar, ice cream, snacks and margarine etc.

I can't avoid sugar which already contained in ice cream, cookies, baked cake, etc etc.
But I can reduce them by having alternatives.
So I made a beauty set to bring out with me, which includes high cocoa chocolate, nuts and dried fruit and supplements.
Lovely, isn't it.




It was a polling day, by the way.

that blew my mind that vegetarian is not common to Japan. Couldn't you just stick to a diet of fish instead of meat?

I agree life without ice cream is no life at all LOL!

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。

Aomori

The northernmost part of Honshu(Main Land). It's about 700km away from Tokyo. Where The lantern festival take place. Where Tsugaru Shamisen originated. 8 hours driving. Easy driving. Food! Pink flowers and shrine. Pink pink pink. Season goes a little later than Tokyo. Plants took over the house. How pretty you are. This mountain called Osorezan , which is one of spiritual places in Japan.
