Review: MAC Face and Body Foundation

Winter in Tokyo Part 3: Eats and Shopping for Pasalubong
Believe it or not, I didn’t come to Tokyo to shop, much more get a milestone purchase! For one thing, most of the things I wanted to buy in Tokyo are definitely out of my price range.

Winter in Tokyo Part 2: Tsukiji Market
Tsukiji market is Tokyo’s largest marketplace. It’s been featured in documentaries for its eye-popping array of seafood, including massive tunas.
