[Archive] Nothing says summer in Japan like a yukata 👘 and mint chocolate 💚🍫 flavored treats!

Japan is known for its love of seasonal and limited edition flavors, and mint chocolate, or “choko minto” (チョコミント) is just one of the flavors you’ll encounter during the warmer months.

Chocominto is a very divisive, hate-it-or-love-it flavor, and mint chocolate lovers across Japan proudly declare themselves as “chokomin tou” (#チョコミン党), where “tou” is the kanji used in Japan to denote a political party.

In other words, #mintchocolateislife... and I’m not bout that life, but I WILL fight you over a box of Andes Chocolate Mints😂
.

Swipe to see a small selection of mint chocolate mint snacks on sale at my local supermarket 👀

Are you Team Mint Chocolate 🍫?

My boy is turning 8️⃣ years old this month!

Living abroad certainly has its challenges, and he came into my life at the right moment to get me to a better place. There is nothing more sobering than your dog being disappointed in your shenanigans and self-destructive behavior😭 I’m forever grateful to have him by my side and to see my daughter grow up with him 👧🏽

もうすぐ8️⃣歳になります！
海外生活は決して楽しいことばかりじゃないけど、辛い時の支えになってくれてありがとう😍妹と仲良くしてね👧🏽

選挙権で未来に投資してください！

投票日(7月5日)に投票所に行けない方、または三密を避けたい方は是時期日前投票をしましょう。私はもう東京都知事選挙2020の期日前投票を済ませました☺️
.

Tokyo is gearing up for its gubernatorial election! Everywhere you go between now and July 5, you’ll see these special displays for gubernatorial candidate posters. (I took this last Saturday, so not all candidates are listed.) .
.
@ko_archives has created several informative posts in English about the candidates and why this election is so important, so please take a look!
.
Japan makes it so ridiculously easy to vote so I’ll share a bit about the process:

First of all, there’s NO special registration required to vote in Japan. .
.
Once you’re registered as a resident of your city or town, the local government sends all citizens 18 years and older a special envelope with a map to their designated polling station, details on early voting, and an entrance ticket. .
.

This envelope is addressed to the head of family and contains tickets for every eligible voter in that household.
.

1-2 weeks later all households receive a special newspaper with information about all the candidates. .
.
On election day, you simply give the entrance ticket to polling staff. They scan and cross check your info with a book and/or computer. (NO ID REQUIRED!) Afterwards, they’ll give you a slip of paper for writing your candidate’s name.
.
.
Then, you go to a table partitioned with dividers and a list of candidates as a reference. After writing your candidate’s name, you place the paper in a box with a lock on it. .
.

Even though it’s a very easy process, voter turnout is low. Still, I’m cautiously optimistic that the first Tokyo gubernatorial election of the Reiwa era will be different. I hope young Tokyoites will go out and speak up for their future! .

7月ボックスにはダブル洗顔アイテムが届きました:

New facial cleaners courtesy of this month’s #Raxy Beauty Box that are suitable for double cleansing:

💫@fancl_official Mild Cleansing Oil
ファンケルマイルドクレンジングオイル
.
.
💫@aquagold_official Facial Wash
アクアゴールドフェイスウォッシュ

If you’re unfamiliar with double cleansing, it’s a 2 step process that uses a cleansing product to remove makeup, sunscreen, dirt & pollution, followed up with a face wash to get rid of dead skin cells. I have oily skin and it feels so refreshing washing all off my natural oils, sweat & sunscreen the end of a long, hot day!

Do you double cleanse?

私はオイリーな肌質なので、夏にはダブル洗顔不要の洗顔料よりも、クレンジングと洗顔の2ステップを行うダブル洗顔は欠かせません。洗顔だけで日焼け止めやメイクは落とし難くて、肌のベタつきが気になります。クレンジングオイルでメイクなどを落としてから、泡洗顔で古い角質や汚れを落とすと肌がはさっぱりしています！

July 7 is Tanabata (七夕), the Star Festival celebrating the night where lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi, separated by the Milky Way meet after a year apart.

In the days leading up to Tanabata, it’s customary to write wishes on tanzaku (短冊), colorful strips of paper that are hung on a bamboo wish tree.

For more on Tanabaata, be sure to check out my blog: https://thewagamamadiaries.com/tanabata-the-star-festival-and-day-of-wishes/ (Link in bio!)

💫PS: Did you know that there are several Tanabata-related emoji on your phone?! 👀↓
.
🎋 represents the Tanabta wish tree
🌌 represents the Milky Way
🌠 represents the stars Vega (Orihime) and Altair (Hikoboshi) (Might be a reach on this one, but when I type “七夕” on my phone, it comes up!😅)

Friendly reminder for all you folks in Japan & planning your Japan trips:

Stores across Japan, including convenience stores & supermarkets, are charging extra for plastic bags (that don’t use environmentally friendly materials) starting from July 1.
.

So, if you don’t already have an “eko baggu” (エコバッグ) or “mai baggu” (マイバッグ), now’s a good time to get a reusable shopping bag! 🛍

.
.
I’ve seen a few news segments where people were genuinely shocked that their reusable shopping bags had traces of several types of bacteria, so don’t forget to regularly wash your bags, too!
.
.
It also needs to be addressed that plastic bags only account for 2-3% of Japan’s annual plastic waste. The next step is reducing plastic packaging products!
.
.
BTW, I got this cute mini-tote bag from last year‘s mommy-daughter daytrip to the resort town of Hayama, in Kanagawa Prefecture, using the Hayama Excursion Ticket. Details in my “Hayama” Highlight 👀
.

.
7月1日より、全国でプラスチック製買物袋が有料になります🛍 プラスチックごみ問題解決の第一歩で、新しいライフスタイルの原点ですね🌏お出かけの際はエコバッグ持参をお忘れなく、使用後の洗濯または消毒もお忘れずに！

(ちなみに、このエコバッグは去年の葉山親子日帰り旅行のお土産です。トートバックのデザインが新しくなったみたいので、また葉山女子旅きっぷでドーナツを食べに行きたい🍩)
