31 Sons de mode fukubukuro 2017
I originally planned to write about the three fukubukuro (two more to be revealed after this one!) that I bought in 2017, while counting down to New Year's Eve, but it got delayed to counting down to my birthday, and finally, it has become a post-birthday gift for my faithful readers. I am surprised to see that there are still people who are supporting me even after all the sudden, unannounced and unexplained breaks in blogging. I think you have gotten used to it by now and have accepted that this is how I am. I was also like this with writing a diary, from when I was a child. I just couldn't get into the habit to writing every day. Sometimes, there were days that were very boring, so I couldn't think of anything to write. On some days, I was really sad, so I couldn't write anything through my tears (I actually have pages in my diaries that were drenched with tears). On other days, I was too busy having fun and I couldn't find the time to calm down and write things.
This blog has become as precious to me as my diary. The good and the bad, I want to write all my thoughts and memories down. With the passing of time, memories will get blurry and misformed. One day, I will be an old grandma and I hope this blog will make me smile, even when I don't remember a thing. Or it will give my son answers of how his mom was, why I made certain decisions, and how I viewed the world. My new year's resolution is listening to my body more and this is part of it too. I will say thanks to the people who are kind to me (no matter how cringy that already makes me feel). I will no longer pretend to be fine all the time or apologize for things that are not within my power. I will accept all my flaws and celebrate my strenghts. Although my videos aren't perfect, I did my best, and I hope you like what I created.
31 sons de mode is a Japanese brand that I was not familiar with, but looking at their clothes and accessories, it is cute and fashionable. Nothing that I wouldn't want to wear, so it was a risk that I was willing to take.

31 Sons de mode (トランテアン ソン ドゥ モード) fukubukuro (福袋)
Size 38, ¥10,800
What was inside the fukubukuro:
- a purple-pink coat
- a baby blue knit dress with underskirt
- a white sweater with bow
- a beige dress
- a black hair band
I really liked the short coat in a beautiful dark pink color, which also looks purple in some lights. It has a nice hood too. I don't own anything like this yet, so it was a nice addition to my closet.
The baby blue knit dress with under skirt is one of the best items that I got from fukubukuro. It is warm and super comfy. It also has a wide elastic band around the waist, which gives you a nice silhouette.
The white sweater with a bow is nice, but not very special, as I have a lot of sweaters with bows on them already.
The beige dress has a pretty v-neck and it is made of a soft, ribbed fabric. I like the shape of the dress and it is a dress that is also suitable for work.
The black hair band is not as good as a piece of jewelry or the baret that other people got in the same 31 Sons de mode fukubukuro in 2017, but you can tell that the hair band is a good quality item. I just have to find ways to style it.
