::Vitamin Colors::

This summer has been really hot and humid in Tokyo.

I try not to drink or eat anything cold to keep my metabolism high,

but summer heat makes me want to cool myself down from inside.

The temperature hit 35 degrees C last weekend.

It felt too hot even when walking in shadows.

I couldn't refuse going in my favorite smoothie place in Omotesando.

Forbidden Fruit

I always like these decorations in their little space.

I tried "Pink Floyd" smoothie this time.

Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, Guava, Grape, Peach and Mint!

I love it ;)

having tropical drink in tropical dress.

Fruit is good when you don't have much appetite to eat anything.

Peach is high in season.

My best friend got me fruit nail color :)

Chanel nail color: 621 Tutti Frutti

Reminds me of watermelon :)

It must look great on pedis as well.

Are you having colorful summer?

Thank you for reading.

::Yukata Weekend:: Saturday

日本語ver. HERE

Last weekend was really hot around 40 degrees C in Tokyo.

In this season, we see a lot of girls wearing Yukata,

very casual Kimono worn only in summer.

I wore mine for one of the biggest fireworks event in Tokyo last Saturday.

Yukata was worn for bathing a long time ago.

Now that many colors and patterns are available, 

we can enjoy Japanese traditional fashion with your own taste.

And it is much easier to wear than formal kimono.

This day, I wore a red Obi (waist belt) with my favorite yukata.

Hairdo :)

American lunch in Japanese fashion :))

No need to say.... I was the only one in yukata @ this restaurant.

Obi was squeezing my stomach so tightly that I couldn't finish my burger.

If you know Japanese animation Doraemon, you know what this is...

Walking in summer heat was very tiring.

Time to take a break :)

Berry smoothie & acai bowl.

The newest Gozilla movie is in theaters now.

There is a huge Gozilla behind The Ritz Carlton hotel in Roppongi.

So many people were taking photos in front of him on weekends.

The fireworks was amazing

but I forgot to take photos.

It was nice to see people having parties everywhere.

It made me feel like the summer is finally here.

Thank you for reading.

::Cooking Remedy::

I looooove cooking without measuring any ingredients.

My friends and I made Japanese curry on last Sunday.

This is the easiest recipe I've ever heard!

Cut and throw everything in a stain-less stew pan like this!!

Tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes, pumpkin, onions, egg plants, minced pork, 

and curry blocks all together with no water, and heat them up.

Ta da!

It's super easy and healthy with lots of veggies.

For last couple of months, 

I have tasty smoothie for breakfast almost everyday.

:: My favorite recipe ::

Flaxseed, blueberries, banana, Japanese spinach, apple and skim milk

This gives you a great start of a day. 

On Sundays, 

I usually make some food in stock for the next week.

Steamed veggies, fried eggs, simmered seaweed etc....

Cooking is great cause...

it makes you feel healthy!

There are a lot of easy recipes found online.

Starting from the easiest ones is a tip to make cooking one of your everyday habit.

Thank you for reading.

::smoothie for breakfast::

smoothie season is here!!

I finally got this solo blender to serve myself smoothie for breakfast.

(I had a food processor but it was too big to make smoothie for one person.)

Solo blender "Sante" by Recolte

They also have it in beige, green and orange.

My very first was blueberry banana yogurt smoothie on top↑

I have a huge package of grained flaxseed in my freezer.

This is really good for your stomach with plenty of fiber.

I blended it with my avocado banana smoothie on the other day.

it was really good and make you really full.

I need to learn more recipes :)
