Los Angeles County Museum Of Art ( LACMA )

It is my favorite place in Los Angeles.
I love art, I love contemporary art among them. Although I went to a lot of museums of domestic and overseas, this museum is my most favorite.
It's not so crowded, not so much larger scale. I can watch without rushing a variety of great art works. It gives me new ideas and inspiration every time.

Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel

Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel

I went to Los Angeles on vacation the other day.
When I go to Los Angeles, stay frequently in Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel. Although I sometimes stay in The Westin Bonaventure hotel, Sheraton is adjacent to Metro, it is more convenient than Westin for me. Outside the country, I do not have the confidence to drive a car.
So whether or not close the station is the criteria for choosing a hotel for me.

Sheraton Los Angeles
Downtown Hotel

On the first floor and the basement there is a Macy's plaza and food court and several shops.
It was under construction when I stayed the other day.
It is adjacent to the Metro-7th street and Metro Center.

This is a traditional room.
It's free Wi-Fi in the room for SPG membership.

Although It is just a normal hotel, I like it because free Wi-Fi and very convenient to go anywhere and cozy.

The view from the window of the room.
Since the downtown, and do not have any special scenery.

The other day I went to shopping to New Marunouchi Building, Tokyo.
We had a break in this restaurant.
Casual restaurant that provides each regional cuisine Europe. Stone oven cooking seems specialties. But because we were not hungry, I ordered a cup of tea and a crepe.

Darjeeling tea

It was delicious. Cinnamon warms the body and improve the blood circulation, it is good for health and beauty. In Japan, cinnamon is not so much popular, I carry a small bottle of cinnamon powder so that it can take cinnamon at any time.

Keisuke Tokyo Shrimp Ramen

Keisuke Tokyo Ramen is very famous and popular. Not only in Japan, there are a few shops in Singapore.
There are several menu, but the most famous ramen is shrimp ramen (ebi soba).

Shrimp Ramen (Ebi Soba)

We ate a "shrimp ramen" in the second generation Keisuke Ramen Takadanobaba, Tokyo.
Smell of sweet shrimp and white soy sauce was the mellow rich. Stewed large amounts of fried sweet shrimp soup was very rich and delicious. Thick noodles with shrimp-filled wonton, chicken cloud ear mushroom, green onion, red pepper, orange peel. Vessel is shaped like cut the sphere at an angle. It is unusual.
The owner seems to have been the chef of the previous French cuisine. It was very delicious mellow shrimp soup and noodle.

Boiled pork cutlet on a cold day

Boiled pork cutlet on a cold day

In Japan, we eat frequently hot-pot (cooked at table) in winter.
Such as sukiyaki and shabu-shabu is famous, but not only them, we eat boiled the various ingredients in a pot. Hot-pot is perfect for a cold day because the body is warm.
It is boiled pork cutlet what we ate the other day.

Boiled pork cutlet : The ingredients are onions and a pork cutlet, which are cooked with the warishita stock (the basic seasoning in Japanese cuisine prepared with soup stock, sugar, and soy sauce) and finished with beaten eggs poured over it.

Sephora Beauty Haul and Review

Sephora Beauty Haul and Review

I received what I ordered online the other day. Since there is no Sephora in Japan, I'm often using the online. This time most of my purpose is to purchase a beauty blender.
I really wanted to try using a beauty blender. There are a few items, such as similar to a beauty blender in Japan. But they are not very good items. I always make up by real technique brush. I really like them, but I hope that becomes more beautiful finish by beauty blender.
I bought also some other items.

Review

Beauty Blender :
I am using in the beauty blender for face primer and powder foundation. It is ideal for use around the nose and around the eyes. Since I'm using a powder foundation, using a brush to the whole face, and using the beauty blender in the details. It will be very beautiful finish. I think beauty blender is perfect for the liquid foundation.

Josie Maran Oil Milk :
I love Josie Maran Argan Oil. I use it everyday. But I have never used Argan Milk.
I like it very much. Moisturizing power is very high, not at all greasy. Texture is very smooth. Wrap the rough skin gently. It gives the youthfulness and vitality to the skin. I will purchase full-size bottle next time.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed :

Opal (golden opal pearl) :
I had purchased the mini size a few months ago. Because I liked very much the matte texture and beautiful gorgeous color, I have finally purchased the full size.

Moonstone (pale gold) :
Bright color than opal

Not only as a highlighter, I am also using as an eye shadow. When put it under the eyes and the inner corner of the eye, will be bright and colorful impression.
Although I was using Nars Albatross for a long time as a highlighter, finally I was able to find the great highlighter more than Nars. Because matte texture than Nars, it is long-lasting. There is no need to use an eye shadow primer.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush Tipsy :
I really like Amazonian Clay blush . I already have "peaceful" and "exposed".
I was looking for coral color blush. This is exactly my ideal natural coral color.
It gives a natural healthy bright impression. I really like, I use it everyday. It is also ideal when the complexion is not good.
