When I find a new place that delivers the kawaii goods (and that can be in actual goods – you know, stuff or just great information) I get so excited! This new kawaii discovery is a website I found just last night while surfing around.

It’s called TokyoKawaiiEtc.com and it is run by an English-speaking (and writing) Japanese chica named Kirin.

This place is super-cute and chock full of interesting tid-bits. She has a little bit of everything here and she gives you first-person accounts of kawaii right from Tokyo (where she lives and works) which is kind of like having the keys to the KAWAII KINGDOM!

She also does great videos on Japanese food. I watched one last night and I had to go to my local Japanese restaurant tonight for edamame and beer. Yes her videos are that good. You will be hungry!

She posts on a variety of intersting topics and shows you what living in Tokyo is like which would make this site a keeper on its own, but to also have such a love of all things kawaii? Most awesome. Check it out and give her many props – she deserves it.

To begin with, I have a huge walk-in closet. It is about the size of a small bedroom and in fact, I once considered making it into a meditation room but then ended up using a spare room for it instead. I did this for two reasons – first the room was a better space and second I needed my closet for all of my…er…stuff.

The stuff in my closet varies but it is mostly a huge collection of ALL THINGS KAWAII.

I have Hello Kitty, many varied Sanrio characters, San-X, Pucca, Gashopon, Re-ment, Megahouse, Neopets, Webkinz, Harajuku Lovers, Tokidoki, the worlds largest collection of bento boxes (that I never actually use since I work from home and don’t ever take a lunch anywhere) and many others in boxes, on shelves, semi-organized in labeled photo boxes (the Re-ment and Megahouse collections – it is true once I was dedicated to actually organizing this huge collection but I stalled after the first twelve boxes. I only have 20 more to go!)( You will see my laziness as a recurring theme in this blog) and many still in their shopping bags.

This then is why I call my blog Closet Kawaii.

I am determined to go into my closet and actually GO THROUGH my kawaii collections. I decided that if I blogged it perhaps I could actually motivate myself to do it. It may be slow – it may be one bag or box or Hello Kitty bento box at a time but gosh darn it – I’m gonna do it!

While that may be the overarching goal to this blog I will also include wonderful kawaii things I find in my travels (well, not too far travels, mostly from right here surfing the web that is while lying on my bed and typing on my laptop), incredible kawaii photos that I will ask nicely to post here on my site (others I will take of my own collections), as well as great online kawaii shops and ebay sellers, wonderful kawaii information sites and other blogs as well as a host of neat-o things about yours truly (aren’t you lucky?).
