My New Coach Toothbrush

Our friend Sarah is here visiting, so we've been showing her fun things and feeding her good food. We had some birthday crepes in Harakjuku yesterday and a bento picnic in a park today. But one of the best things she and I did today was look at the different fashion magazine.

More Magazine

And guess what free gift I found? A Coach toiletry set! It came with a little pouch, a mirror, a little flat cup to rinse your mouth I guess, and a travel toothbrush. I'm mostly excited about the toothbrush.

Isn't it cute?

I'm definitely taking the travel toothbrush when we go to Kyushu this weekend!

Fashion Magazines and Strawberry Sandwiches

Did you know that many magazines come with fun freebies like bags or accessories?  This is a delightful fact that I only recently discovered, and I just bought my first magazine with swag in it.  In the stores you'll see many of the magazines tied or rubber-banded up so that what's inside doesn't fall out.

Can you see the yellow bands, holding them closed?

I chose this magazine with a free make-up bag from L'Occitane en Provence

The upper right hand corner will show what the free gift is.

   

Yay for my cute new bag!

John, however, informed me that I am super lame because this magazine I chose is advertising that it is #1 among thirty-somethings.  Oh well, live and learn.  There's another magazine with an Anna Sui coin purse that I have my eye on...

And, just for fun, I bought a strawberry sandwich at the Seven-Eleven today.  I only started seeing them last week.  Maybe they're seasonal, or maybe I'm just unobservant?

Delicious!

I was worried the white stuff would be mayonnaise or butter or something else unpleasant, but it wasn't. There appeared to be a white and a yellow icing, but they turned out to be whipped cream and custard in very nice proportions.  Definitely more of a dessert than a lunch, but delicious all the same!
