This box is what dreams are made of! I get more and more obsessed with fabfitfun each season. The spring box has a Gypsy 05 roundie, RealHer lip kit, Milly zip pouch, Dr. Brandt skin exfoliant, Karuna face masks, jewelry and so much more.
My Adventure with Embossing!
I want to start by saying that I have seen so many people on Instagram that are posting videos and pictures of them embossing notebooks, glasses, cards...etc I really wanted to give it a shot so I splurged. I went out to the art supply store and bought some supplies! I will only be showing you a couple of things for now.. more to come soon! ;)
So I ended up purchasing these items online actually because I could not find them anywhere and I have heard so many great things about them, and I am glad I got my hands on them!
So I ended up purchasing two Ranger Emboss it pens 2 pack one clear and one black ink, and a copper super fine embossing powder. I also bought the heat tool at my local art supply store for $30.
This is what It looks like with the embossing powder sprinkled on top. I just turned the paper and let the excess fall off. The white powder is actually cornstarch, it prevents the powder from sticking to the surface without the glue to make for a clean finish. On the top I used the black ink marker and on the bottom I used the clear ink marker. You can see a difference.
This is the heat embossing tool that I purchased at my local art supply store. It works great and I have zero complaints about it! It has a long cord as well so you can plug it in and put it wherever you like, and the best part is that it comes with a built in stand so you don't have to worry about burning anything when you set it down (it gets very very hot!)
There you have it, I love the finish of embossing powder. It is raised and gives nice texture and shine to a card. I took this picture with my phone so unfortunately you don't get a good reference of the copper colour, but I will say its amazing in person. I just used it on a paint chip, hehe :)
Overall I have to say that I am very impressed because I have tried multiple other glue pens and applications and this one is overall my favorite outcome. Nice and smooth.
I also would like to mention that this is so much fun to do and the possibilities are endless! You can personalize almost anything, I have been making personalized birthday cards for people I know, or you could even personalize a mug or a notebook cover...etc You can get any color embossing powder that you can imagine. They even come in matte and holographic and much much more!
I cant wait to show you what is to come in the future because I am having a blast with all of these new supplies I picked up!
If you have any cool ideas you would like to see done I would love to hear from you!

Bubblicchi
by Tasty Salt
These were some really really good potato chips!
They are thicker than most chips we have here in Canada and they are not too salty and have an amazing flavour.
I couldn't find this product anywhere online to compare. I would also purchase these online if they became available, but for now I can only find them on Wowbox website.
They are made by Tohato but I cannot seem to find any information on that either.
Ultraman Milky
by Fujiya
I also couldn't find much information on this product, but overall I loved this one.
This candy was my second favorite in the box. It's a hard candy that tastes similar to yogurt. It tastes so smooth and silky for a hard candy.
Big Thunder & Crisp Thunder
Well let me start with the big thunder. This bar was AMAZING.
I have heard about this iconic bar before but when I tried it for the first time I knew why it was so popular.
Its very light and thin but the chocolate cookie inside is so moist and crunchy. The chocolate coating it is melt in your mouth quality chocolate. I would purchase these for sure!
Then there's the Crisp thunder..
This one surprised me for sure. It looks like a typical chocolate bar with nuts in it. Oh-no was I wrong. This Quasi-chocolate has some amazing things inside including peanuts, konpafu, corn flakes, rice puffs and almond praline. I loved everything about every bite I had of this mini bar.
Umaibo Mentaiko
by Yaokin
Umaibo is a very popular snack in Japan and has been around for many many years. It is a long- cylindrical puffed corn snack and comes in many many flavours. The name Umaibo literally means "delicious snack".
Mentaiko means 'marinated roe of pollock and cod'.
I have had Umaibo before I believe in BBQ flavour and I loved it. I am super excited to try this one out. As I cant eat it all in one day!
Scorn japanese-style BBQ
by Koikeya
These were very yummy as well. These are also a corn puff style snack. These remind me of the crunchy cheetos that we have here in canada, but instead of cheese its like a bbq flavour. The BBq flavour tastes just like a Beef Mr.Noodle sauce mix (Ramen noodles) I thought this was a great snack and something we can't find here.
Baby Star Ramen Mini
by Tasty Salt
These were one of my favourites in the box, which i surprising because I am a sucker for sweet things over savory.
Have you ever taken a pack of ramen noodles and crushed them inside the package and eat them like a snack? I used to do this all the time when I was younger.
These are basically that.. they have a nice salted flavour to them and what I did was actually mix the Scorn corn puffs above and these together. Since I thought that that Scorn tasted like ramen I had to try mixing them together, and it was better than I imagined! I will definitely be finishing these two snacks together.
Awadama
by Pine
These are pretty good hard candies.
They are lemon-lime and blue is Cider flavour. These were interesting as I didn't know what to expect from these. Instead of those hard candies with a fizzy pocket in the center, these have the fizz mixed all through the candy so its almost like sucking on a soda!
Pocky Midi Lemon
by Glico
Pocky Midi give you way more chocolate on shorter cookie sticks... this time in lemon flavour. The cookie sticks coupled with the extra thick chocolate makes it extra delectable.
This box came with 12 deluxe sticks, each box has 3 separately sealed bags of 4 sticks each. I like this because they will stay fresh for longer, or you could share them.
I am usually not a fan of lemon but this one I did not mind, it wasn't tarte and it was extra chocolatey!
I also found that they have some very interested packaging that comes with this line. I loved it and think it is so cute. I will have to try and get my hands on that drink

Of course, whats a Japanese snack box without something cola flavoured? I thought that the rock, paper, scissors shaped cola gummies were my favourite thing in this months Wowbox.
Cola gummies are one of my favourite things, and this is my all time fave! This gummy so so soft and sweet and was sooo good, even my boyfriend wanted a second bite! (he likes the savoury snacks over sweets)
I will definitely be purchasing some of these online for myself ;)
Muscat and Soda
Have you ever smelt a Muscat perfume?
I don't know where they got the idea to mix Muskat and grape soda flavour but I don't agree that It tastes good. I really really did not like this one.
I looked around and they also have a soda and nutmeg flavour, which I would be willing to try. They have some very intriguing flavour but I am hesitant about them and probably would never purchase these on my own.
Big Katsu
This one I was very nervous for. The paper with the product descriptions on it says this
"Enjoy the taste of Japanese tonkatsu (pork cutlet) in snack form, with this crunchy treat boasting in tonkatsu sauce flavour"
So we tried it..
Overall I can't complain about this product but I definitely would not go to purchase this on my own. It was very...interesting to say the least. I am still a little weary because of some of the ingredients used like Shredded fish surimi which literally is "ground meat" this refers to a paste made from fish or other meat. It is available in many shapes, forms and textures and often uses to mimic the texture and colour of the meat of lobster, crab and other shellfish....
Kurabete Neru Neru
I am not a very big fan of DIY snack products.
Why? Because they never come with english instructions, even though it was pretty straight forward.I have never come across a DIY that actually tastes good, I don't know what kind of ingredients they use in products like this but I almost feel its not even safe to eat.
This product is good for kids who want to play with their food and have a little bit of fun, but I wouldn't give this to my children because I have no idea whats inside.
The only thing I liked about this product is it comes out looking like it does on the packaging.
If your kid(s) likes Magic they might like this :P
