    When I started really using face powder, my friend recommended me to Koh Gen Do. Been using it for over a year now. I have to say Japanese face powder feels very refined and stayed through the day! http://www.kohgendo.com/product/

    For everyday easy to apply economical but good quality face powder, with excellent reviews, that is readily available in any drug store I use this one (linked walmart for the english information!): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Maybelline-Mineral-Power-Powder-Foundation/10450578 My main powder is Max Factor but you have to buy that in a Department store, I've yet to find a drug store that carries it.

    Mac can be little expensive but I think they are the best. You may look for sale on Amazon ; sometimes they offer !

    I have found that Daiso offers a shade that fits my skin very well. I was sceptical because of the low price but have not found a better one that has as good staying power.

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
