“Float lab” is a workshop producing handmade skin care items.
The instructor Yuki Onuma has been suffered from atopy and allergy, and been looking for cosmetic products that suit and gentle to her skin by studying the ingredients of commercial products.
At the end, she made her own skincare, preservative-free and alcohol-free, then gradually regained her beautiful skin back.
Her skincare items have become very popular and attracted may participants to her workshop.
This time we’d make Wash Cream and Recovery Lotion.
You just cannot live without this great Wash Cream, which looks like an ice cream with Oreo in, once you use it!.
Recovery Lotion contains floral water of rose & lavender, as well as other moisturizing herb essences effective for restoring dry skin.
Japanese girls put a lot of their efforts on keeping beautiful skin everyday.
We believe that beautiful skin makes a beauty. It is an underlying concept of Japanese beauty. Well, so many cosmetic companies offer a wide range of skincare products out here.

“The theremin” is the electronic musical instrument invented by Russian inventor in the 1920s. The building kits of this theremin including a circuit board and a box came out on the market recently and I tried to build it.
The kit came with a book called “Science magazine for adults vol.17″ published by an educational publishing company and it is easy enough for even girls to build.
This instrument is played by moving your hands closer to the antennas or away from the antennas. It brings out the feel of nostalgia and kawaii and is popular with some girls in Japan. In fact a theremin which looks like a Russian Matryoshka doll called “Matryomin” has been released.

Marc Jacobs made a letter key chain for VOGUE NIPPON 8th anniversary.

There are some famous “fruit shops” in Tokyo. They specialize in fruits that are delicious and as beautiful as jewels (and expensive)!
However the Japanese have a traditional long-lasting custom that we give gifts to each other at every occasion. This is the shop we often go to buy something for those occasions.
Most of these old established fruit shops have fruit parlours upstairs where you may find many colourful and delicious menus using those fruits the shops are proud of.
I bet many people can’t resist this temptation very often. One of the most irresistible is a fruit sandwich which shows the sides of all fruits sliced thinly stacked up inside sparkling like a jewellery box. They also told me that they make this sandwich with sliced fruits and sour cream inside with lemon buttered breads. Please try one of these if you are tempted!
I love eating ice cream on the couch in a warm room when it’s cold outside.
“pino” is one of the most popular ice cream in Japan.
this is one of my favorite flavor “milk tea “,BUT hurry up,it’s a limited edition.
Isetan,Shinjuku store is the most hip department store in Japan. Not only world’s top class brands but cutting edge Indie brands, which have a promising future, stand side by side in the store and highlight the fact that buyers of Isetan,Shinjuku Store are one of the elite groups in a fashion industry of Japan.
Anyway 8tokyo staff can’t ignore this department store, so we often go there but we don’t buy much because they are so expensive.
There is a special window display project in the store put together in collaboration with “VOGUE NIPPON(Japan)”.
So we checked it out. The theme of this project was “ISETAN x VOGUEAIRLINES” where by a fictitious airline took us on a trip of the latest fashions including 100 brands from all over the world.
