Bubble bath recommendations

My son loves bubble bath (who doesn't?) but he keeps going after my expensive and hard to obtain baby soap. I want to get him something that he can play with. so cheap with the most bubbles for my bucks. I also want to know what you use for self care days. Best smells, skin feel, maximum bubbles.

    Have you considered making bubble bath? Some recipes I've seen online indicate natural dish soap or baby shampoo and glycerin to make bubble bath. One of my female friends only uses Pidgeon brand baby soap to cleanse her face. It's available at some pharmacies but not everywhere. When I don't have time to go to onsen, I run a bath with yuzu or hinoki bath tablets. Way cheaper than Lush, and I love the fragrance wafting about the house.

    Not much help about bubble bath recommendations, my two are obsessed with the bath bombs that have small toys inside so we occasionally pick some up at Daiso. As for my own self care, I love bath bombs and bubble bars from Lush but I do think they're a bit of a splurge item. I usually break the bubble bars up into several pieces to get the most value from them, but scent wise I think they are better than any other products out there!

    I'm not sure about bubbly baths but on my self care days I like to use the onsen style bath powder (probably available in many drug stores.

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.

My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!
