How to stay kawaii at home!

        There are many ways in staying connected to kawaii culture at your own home. In this post I will be listing some ways to stay in touch with kawaii culture at home.

1. Purchasing a kawaii box! I have talked about the kawaii box and all of the goodies that are inside of one in my other post. This is a great way to stay kawaii simply because of the items that are in the boxes. 

2. Wearing and purchasing kawaii clothes. Wearing clothes that are kawaii will always make you feel close to the culture and it'll make you feel and look cute! There are many websites that you can buy kawaii clothes from. One website that is good is jukustore.com.

3. Having kawaii decor! Decorating your room or whole house with kawaii furniture would be an awsome way expressing your love for kawaii culture. There are many websites to buy kawaii furniture from. My favorite website is supercutekawaii.com.

4. Watching kawaii anime shows. If you don't know any kawaii anime you can simply search them up online. An example of a kawaii anime show would be Gakuen Babysitters (School Babysitters). This anime is about cute babies and how they have fun in daycare.

How has COVID-19 affected kawaii culture so far?

       A lot has happen during this time, one of the topics that most concern me is Japan's kawaii culture. I say this because the best way to express your love for this culture is roaming around Japan and showing everyone your style. People would go to cafes, bars, stores, and even restaurants to display their contribute to kawaii culture, but this privilege has been temporary taken away due to the current pandemic going on. Everyone is currently under quarantine and is not allowed to go out unless its essential. For example, going to the grocery store, hospital, etc. Sadly, no one is walking around Japan, showing off their kawaii outfits. To be specific, here are some things that will be canceled due to COVID- 19, The 16th cosplay festival Nippombashi Street Festa that was to take place on March 15 in Den Den Town, and AnimeJapan (formerly Tokyo Anime Fair). These events would have been great opportunities to express peoples love and appreciation to kawaii culture. So to conclude, this pandemic has so far took away some very important events away from kawaii culture. As sad as this may be, staying home and practicing good hygiene is the best option for everyone.
