🍡Use code "RNJ" to get $5 off your first Sakuraco box team.sakura.co/racheljunadventures-SC2308 This was probably not a good idea with cats. 😐 I'll see if we can keep them away!
hi Rachel, I'm always so excited for your next video to come out, so I was happy to see you made another one that you posted right now! :) I love your channel because I like how intricately designed Japanese homes are, there are so many different functions that I just can't imagine how you manage to get creative with them all the time in each video! ha! "rock racist!"
I wonder if there's some kind of clear coating that you could spray on the rocks... say, like acrylic... that would both be waterproof and might also prevent hair from getting in between them? The downside would be that they'd always have to remain in place in order to keep the seal.
What if you put a glass sheet over the rocks? Then you could still see them but the cats couldn't get to them. It looks so pretty! Not sure how the plants would look on top of the glass tho...
Rest in Peace Thunder, I am very glad you got to enjoy your luxury aquarium for a long time. And to Rachel and Jun, as someone whose heart hurts every time I see the state of beta fish sold in stores, I am so grateful that you cared so much about Thunder and gave him the best life possible ❤
So many people shove them in vases or bowls and it infuriates me so much. They are living creatures, not decorations. Thunder had such a fantastic life, and lived to a ripe old age for a Betta.
Wonderful comment - how they treat beta’s in pet stores is a daily heartbreaker for me - makes me happy to see empathetic people out there - rare these days
Rachel and Jun are such creative people! I'm sure they will come up with a way to keep the cats from using the beautiful area under the stairs as a litter box.
How well does Rachel speak Japanese now? You guys obviously mostly speak English in your videos with the occasional Japanese, but can Rachel speak fluid Japanese too? Can she hold a conversation in Japanese without struggling?
You can use mint oil to deter cats from being in certain areas! It's smells very very strong to them and works REALLY WELL. But try not to have it get on their fur as it can cause stomach problems if digested. I like hiding cotton balls soaked in mint oil inside of a small lidded cup I've drilled holes into. You could hide a something like that along with the white rocks!
If your a coffee drinker you can also use coffee grounds. We put them in little dishes or attached to tape(the tape doesn't work great for us because one of our cats loves the taste of adhesive and the sounds of tape when it's bitten) they both HATE the smell of coffee and as long as you have a decent barrier of coffee around the edges it works really well
I've been loving all these DIY-type videos, they're really inspiring. It's so cool to see how you guys have been making the space more and more your own.
I paused everything and stared intensely at the screen when Nagi was on the rocks😂 I heaved a sigh of relief. Then a minute later I hear Jun saying that Nagi did indeed do the deed😂
You named the coin purse, that's soo cute!!😭💕 Also, the shot of Rachel walking to get the cat toy with Haku and Nagi and her mane of red hair was so pretty!!
I love how genuine Rachael and Jun are. Nothing ever feels fake or scripted. Their videos are calming, funny and motivational: things I enjoy watching after a long day at work.
As someone in the vet field… THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT HOW WHEN ANIMALS GET OLD THEY WILL STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THEIR BLADDERS!!! You won’t believe how many times we get owners complaining about their 15+ year old dog peeing in the house when he “knows better.” They then demand we “fix them” when we explain they’re not doing it on purpose and it’s just because they’re old. I’ve had people furiously ranting about how their pet has ruined their carpet and it’s NOT THE ANIMAL’S FAULT! Anyway, you guys are amazing pet owners.
It’s actually pretty sweet that Rachel and Jun gave Thunder the best possible life a beta fish could ever ask for. I’ve seen so many of those poor babies in horrible conditions at pet shops and it’s really sad because fish are pretty neat. And Rachel burying him beneath the tree is what I did as a kid when my fish passed away, child me want them to grow into a beautiful fish tree lol
i just wanna appreciate how rachel is now fully embracing her voluminous long wavy hair instead of blowdrying them into a straight texture 😍both styles look amazing on you ofc! but the red mane era is a real glowup!
I agree, but in this case it may have had a lot to do with the hot/humid weather plus broken a/c. Using a blow drayer in the summer without a/c is torture.
My dad is exactly like Jun. Hates coin in his wallet so he puts all the coins in a big cookie jar but then it became two jars and then three and then seven and then more. Basically each jar weighs at around 15kg-20kg. He also puts any random coins he found lying around the house into the jar. Last time we counted, we had over 7k. That was 4 years ago. It probably is more now.
My uncle has 3 jars. When he gets home he sorts pennies in one, nickels and dimes in another, and quarters in the last. When the jars fill he goes and gets them converted to cash. One year he paid some taxes with how much was in those suckers.
When he retires, if he feels it's hard to go from going in every day to nothing, he can then use the same coins he's saved all these years to save his sanity! A lot of people take time to adjust to retirement by starting a hobby. Your dad can look through his stash to find rare/collectable coins and make albums or sets. He may come out with a Lot more than face value of the irritating pocket stuff!😢 Like the sand that irritates an oyster until it turns into a pearl!😂
Not sure what it is, but these videos have such a relaxing atmosphere to it. I love watching them, especially these decoration ones. Keep up the amazing work Jun san and Rachel san!
2:32 the chaos of trying to vacuum the fur lol 5:36 rock racist >^< 6:06 "Hi Nagi, don’t pee please", 7:23 *update* 6:53 love that 11:04 Poki's whines hehe 16:03 Rachael math wooh! 16:23 Jun the wizard 18:18 Jun defending himself lol 20:22 damn- *edit* just noticed Poki watching hehe
Alas, my thought, exactly. Rachel may end up opting for a rock SURFACE in that rock garden space, rather than loose, movable pebbles which their cat-kids can use for spontaneous elimination purposes. It would still look amazing, and SO much easier to keep fresh and clean! 🐈💩🚫
there are things you can do to help get your cats to avoid certain areas of the house. Commercial products are available in sprays or diffusers. CItrus essential oils seem to be something every cat I've ever had really don't enjoy being around. There are also some DIY spray recipies on the internet.
My betta fish, Flamenco, lived a little past 5. I'm not even sure why since he was a Petsmart rescue where they keep them in tiny cups and starved them, so he started pretty sick. But apparently 4-5 is pretty good for them, so rest in peace Thunder, you lived a good life. The house is looking more and more gorgeous!
I'm 43 and living in Fukuoka.. I second hand live my life through your videos, watching from my 1R 😄 Please never stop making your content, even if you think it's mundane.... I enjoy watching your videos so much. ....hundreds of thousand of people agree 😊👍
I have almost exactly the same furniture in my apartment. And I live in Poland, on another side of the world :D How crazy is that? Happy for you guys! All this space looks great!
Oh, careful with that ficus! They're mildly to moderately toxic to cats, especially the sap, don't let Poki chew on it! :3 Although I'm sure you guys already knew that! Either way the whole rock garden looks very lovely, it fits there beautifully. Maybe painting the sideboards of the wooden tray white would make them blend in a little more with the tiling? :) Also: I know one is always the most critical of their own work, but I was honestly amazed by how good-looking that three-piece shelf is, for how simple it is! The acacia(?) wood visually does a lot for it, it's definitely not "craft-project looking", as you called it, in any bad way. :) --- Frankly, it looks like something I would stumble across at Granit (trendy interior décor store here) and be sad that I can't afford it! (At the mention of shelves: I hope Jun's shelf got a nice new spot elsewhere, it's such a lovely one he built there!)
The plant area looks so good! I love your striped dress outfit with that necklace and your fluffy red hair! It's giving proud Amazonian crafter vibes and I'm here for it. ❤
I am always in love with your outfits and accessories Rachel! Everything looks great on you. The outfit from the ad section is so amazing and I love that big gold band necklace. You should be a model, I’m sure people say that all the time 😂
I watched so many of your videos when you still had the old old apartment so seeing this 3-4 years later is so fun, also because I can partly understand when you speak japanese now
The moment you said about the rocks my first thought was "One of the cats is gonna pee in there" and lo and behold XD We had a garden that was mostly rocks and gravel for the longest time so I know cats will just use that kinda stuff as a litterbox, all the outdoor cats would be there all the time. We weren't allowed to change the garden so we had to just put up with it until we moved.
omg I'm so sorry for the passing of thunder! i always wished to have the same fish as thunder and seeing him go probably has paved a path from me. RIP thunder 2020-2023
I remember you talking about this rock garden when you were in the process of building the house, so cool to see it come to life! Love your videos, they are so inspiring. We just moved into our forever home one month ago so I'm really appreciating all the DIY stuff for inspiration!
I love the "kyu~!" censor at 16:14 for Rachel's swear hahaha Also I love when people from different backgrounds introduce each other to different home improvement methods lol. It's happened to me and my roommates multiple times
The rock garden is amazing!!Such a wonderful idea!(Mostly for the cats, for them is like a playground!😅) Rachel is so adorable and so patient working and creating this!Congrats!👍😊
Enzyme cleaners might help prevent the cats from using it as a litterbox! They breakdown the scent of the urine and discourage cats from using the same spot again, and there are many types that are cat safe
If either of you are coffee drinkers, used coffee grounds work wrll for keeping cats away, it needs to he a pretty solid barrier but as long as they can smeel the coffee it will keep them out. Just try to find containers that will stop it from getting on their fur where they might accidentally ingest some. Also you guys must get really good betta fish lines in Japan, even when given exemplary care a betta fish where i live making it to 2 is considered a serious achievement
Your house is such an inspiration for me!!! I based my home design from your house and hopefully i can built it in the near future😊 Whenever i have something new in our house and our cat shows interest in it, to avoid being pooped and peed by cat, i would spray white vinegar+water to it. And also to the area around it. Works well until now
Ahah your first channel what is it like good 10 years go or was it longer. Boy you guys progressed from showing people about japan, cats, cooking now its a diy channel 😄. I am loving it.
You could use large pieces of orchid bark for the plants to cover the dirt, if you don't like the fiber ^^ and the cuttings of Benjamin can actually root in water and you can get a whole new Benjamin out of them!
18:50 Rachel's entire look here is amazing! She's absolutely gorgeous, that dress + metallic necklace combo is top-tier and looks so good on her! Edit: I am loving the hems of the dress, it's very fairy/elf princess-like and I adore it! Still not convinced Rachel isn't some fort of fairy princess or like a woodland elf or something, she certainly looks the part here!
if it helps at all, we had the dripping issue at my store i work at with high humidity. it seemed to be a clogged filter issue most of the time. no idea if that's you're issue, though ! lovely new genkan area ! it looks amazing. i'm so jealous of your house !! 😂
15:15 "nagi just gets on the cat runner every time I talk." maybe he needs therapy from your voice! 19:08 picture of you right there deserves to be a meme! JOKES! this video is so amazing. it's lovely seeing you being such a wonderful homemaker and really being so attentive to details in your house with Jun! you are so deeply caring towards your home and every element of it! :D also: "Benjamin slowly watching his limbs decaying away... O_O" you make the best jokes Rachel ahaha good one!
I'm sure you realized the risks of this rock garden being literally an equivalent to a litter box for your fur babies. ;) Hopefully the cleaning after process won't be too tedious to the point of regret. >.
Your smatterings of humor are as delightful as someone suddenly handing me a random bite of chocolate! The dramatic music for Nagi wheel ending abruptly, Jun’s wallet in the camera for discourse sake, etc.! Heeheehee!
The text that flashed on the screen after Rachel tossed the not-white rock out of the pile startled me so bad into laughter I actually spit up my drink! thanks (it was very hilarious)
is being clingy an orange cat thing?? we got an orange tabby kitten (and his sister that's a calico!) in may and he gets so upset when he's left alone it's adorably hilarious 😂 both projects turned out very cute!!! y'all's diy skills never fail to impress!! i wish i was that handy lol
Rachel you make the coolest things omg! Turned out lovely even if the cats don't understand why they can't use the big litterbox xD Also I gotta say: those choco strawberries are SO weird but so good, they infuse an actual strawberry in white chocolate, so it still has a little of that strawberry tartness but otherwise it's all white chocolate flavor and texture
You gave Thunder a wonderful home and if/when your hearts are ready, I'm sure you can do the same for another beta or any other fish that steals your heart :) I love your DIY/room reno videos, I'm always happy to see you post them ♡

hey Rachel, have you ever done of video about the process of becoming a citizen in japan? or have you been through/going through the process?
I'd love to have a coin bag like that, any idea from where can I get one? :D
What if you put a glass sheet over the rocks? Then you could still see them but the cats couldn't get to them. It looks so pretty! Not sure how the plants would look on top of the glass tho...
It was very kind of Rachel to spend so much time building the cats such a nice litterbox. XD
OH NO!! 🙇😱🙀
My literal first thought when I saw the title 😂
😂
Best extreme litter box challenge.
When I saw what was intended all I could think was "could never do that in my house. It would just become a gaint litter box."
Rest in Peace Thunder, I am very glad you got to enjoy your luxury aquarium for a long time. And to Rachel and Jun, as someone whose heart hurts every time I see the state of beta fish sold in stores, I am so grateful that you cared so much about Thunder and gave him the best life possible ❤
So many people shove them in vases or bowls and it infuriates me so much. They are living creatures, not decorations. Thunder had such a fantastic life, and lived to a ripe old age for a Betta.
Yeah he was so happy I think. And for his years he got to spend quite a chunk of hid golden years in the best place.
Wonderful comment - how they treat beta’s in pet stores is a daily heartbreaker for me - makes me happy to see empathetic people out there - rare these days

"My heart thinks everything is immortal until I'm proven wrong" is such a beautiful way of thinking, especially when it comes to pets ❤
It's such a raw quote that sums up life so well.
Seeing Jun work on the AC unit makes me wonder if Haku ever thinks about the AC repairman who he was obsessed with
Y'all I love Rachel and Jun. They're going to be the cutest elderly couple with their animals, garden, and wholesome projects
Rachel: I want to make an elegant indoor rock garden.
Cats: Oh look, Mom made us a giant litter box.
You can use mint oil to deter cats from being in certain areas! It's smells very very strong to them and works REALLY WELL.

Not always true… my cat loves mint so I keep it away from him. He is strange.
They also dislike Vinegar and citrus smells like oranges or lemons
@@theblackkat1688 I had a cat that loved citrus, though I'm half convinced that it was because they were orange like he was
I've been loving all these DIY-type videos, they're really inspiring. It's so cool to see how you guys have been making the space more and more your own.
Same! It’s like better hgtv.
Yes! I’m so happy everytime there is a new one!
I paused everything and stared intensely at the screen when Nagi was on the rocks😂 I heaved a sigh of relief. Then a minute later I hear Jun saying that Nagi did indeed do the deed😂
A good bit of suspense.
😂😂😂
Nagi's comedic timing is just... 😂😂😂😺
Also happy to see the Woolooloo becoming such a great hit among the cats 😂😺😺😺
You named the coin purse, that's soo cute!!😭💕 Also, the shot of Rachel walking to get the cat toy with Haku and Nagi and her mane of red hair was so pretty!!
It's a Koi-n bag!
The coin bag is a goldfish, she just slapped an honorific to the word.
I agree I though that shot was so pretty! 💕
I love how genuine Rachael and Jun are. Nothing ever feels fake or scripted. Their videos are calming, funny and motivational: things I enjoy watching after a long day at work.

Agreed, I feel like it suits her and it looks kinda glamorous!
I agree, but in this case it may have had a lot to do with the hot/humid weather plus broken a/c. Using a blow drayer in the summer without a/c is torture.
Yesss! She was reminding me of Merida from Brave at 19:20 when she goes to get cat food, her hair is so nice
Her hair looks really great with the dress she's wearing in this video.
“I’m sorry Benjamin…” that made me smile haha, the plant area, shelf, and little vase looks so nice!!
My dad is exactly like Jun. Hates coin in his wallet so he puts all the coins in a big cookie jar but then it became two jars and then three and then seven and then more.

That’s a way to save money 🤷♀️
Nice rainy day fund~.
When he retires, if he feels it's hard to go from going in every day to nothing, he can then use the same coins he's saved all these years to save his sanity! A lot of people take time to adjust to retirement by starting a hobby. Your dad can look through his stash to find rare/collectable coins and make albums or sets. He may come out with a Lot more than face value of the irritating pocket stuff!😢
Like the sand that irritates an oyster until it turns into a pearl!😂
Exchange that with shops or food trucks. They usually need coins for change
You guys are sooooo cute
I love how Jun try to tell us that it’s just because his coin pad broken😂
Not sure what it is, but these videos have such a relaxing atmosphere to it. I love watching them, especially these decoration ones. Keep up the amazing work Jun san and Rachel san!
It's how wholesome and sincere they are.
I’m sorry for your loss. Hope the tree grows big and strong, it’s a great resting place for thunder
Rachel and Jun it's a joy to see these little snapshots of your happily ever after.
Jun guessing the length of the shelf was insane and also really funny! 😄
I love how Pinterest makes Jun nervous now! My husband feels the same pain! 😂
2:32 the chaos of trying to vacuum the fur lol

20:22 damn- *edit* just noticed Poki watching hehe
Perfect👌
The pookies are going to be so happy with their new litterbox... ;-)
BTW, your house is gorgeous.
Alas, my thought, exactly. Rachel may end up opting for a rock SURFACE in that rock garden space, rather than loose, movable pebbles which their cat-kids can use for spontaneous elimination purposes. It would still look amazing, and SO much easier to keep fresh and clean! 🐈💩🚫
Rachel's casual toss/catch of Poki was the most cat mom thing I've ever seen 😂
Have you ever thought of building a small outdoor catio for your cats so they can go outside (to get fresh air and to do their business?)
Gotta love all those adorable bunny designs 🤍
Rachel the fashion Queeeeeen! That gold neckless fits you so well!
there are things you can do to help get your cats to avoid certain areas of the house. Commercial products are available in sprays or diffusers. CItrus essential oils seem to be something every cat I've ever had really don't enjoy being around. There are also some DIY spray recipies on the internet.
My betta fish, Flamenco, lived a little past 5. I'm not even sure why since he was a Petsmart rescue where they keep them in tiny cups and starved them, so he started pretty sick. But apparently 4-5 is pretty good for them, so rest in peace Thunder, you lived a good life.

Wow Rachel is looking gorgeous!! Love the hair, the dress, the necklace! The whole fit!
I have almost exactly the same furniture in my apartment. And I live in Poland, on another side of the world :D
How crazy is that?
Happy for you guys! All this space looks great!
The Swedish magic of IKEA 😂🪄✨
@@RaiofLightahahah, so true
so sorry for thunder's passing :(( i remember his old tank in the last apartment he was so beautiful!!
Oh, careful with that ficus! They're mildly to moderately toxic to cats, especially the sap, don't let Poki chew on it! :3 Although I'm sure you guys already knew that! Either way the whole rock garden looks very lovely, it fits there beautifully. Maybe painting the sideboards of the wooden tray white would make them blend in a little more with the tiling? :)
Also: I know one is always the most critical of their own work, but I was honestly amazed by how good-looking that three-piece shelf is, for how simple it is! The acacia(?) wood visually does a lot for it, it's definitely not "craft-project looking", as you called it, in any bad way. :) --- Frankly, it looks like something I would stumble across at Granit (trendy interior décor store here) and be sad that I can't afford it! (At the mention of shelves: I hope Jun's shelf got a nice new spot elsewhere, it's such a lovely one he built there!)
Commenting to bring attention to the ficus issue you mentioned! Thank you for bringing it up, I didn’t know it could also affect humans!
The plant area looks so good! I love your striped dress outfit with that necklace and your fluffy red hair! It's giving proud Amazonian crafter vibes and I'm here for it. ❤
I am always in love with your outfits and accessories Rachel! Everything looks great on you. The outfit from the ad section is so amazing and I love that big gold band necklace. You should be a model, I’m sure people say that all the time 😂
The music in this video really evoked Mr Roger’s Neighborhood to me. Nice.
Love the rock garden! I was laughing so hard about the tape shelf 😂❤ always love your outfits, Rachel!
The cats were so extra in this one haha
I watched so many of your videos when you still had the old old apartment so seeing this 3-4 years later is so fun, also because I can partly understand when you speak japanese now

i love your videos so much and have been watching since you first adopted poki! best wishes on your future, rachel and jun~

You two have such a fun lifestyle and your house it beautiful! I love watching your videos about decorating even though I don't do the same~
You cracked me up twice- introducing Benjamin, and then the epic music for Hagi (?)'s 4 steps on the cat wheel 😁
Awww love the diys and can't wait to see other projects slowly trimming away at your pile of leftover wood piecesss (or adding to it😂)
The rock garden is amazing!!Such a wonderful idea!(Mostly for the cats, for them is like a playground!😅) Rachel is so adorable and so patient working and creating this!Congrats!👍😊
That stripey dress is so cute! Allso the indoor garden looks very pritty! Good job! ❤
Woah, did Nagi's fur get longer/thicker? He looks so much larger than before! Like he's almost Haku sized 🥺
Rachel is really handy. She must have been a construction worker or a carpenter in her previous life.
Great, don't forget trees grow upwards, and roots have to go somewhere!!
I hope you two are doing well! 💚

I’m always so excited seeing you guys sharing your house/new decos
RIP Thunder, he lived a good life
"My heart thinks everything is inmortal until I'm proven wrong" never have I ever related to something so much
everytime there is a new video i physically feel my day brighten
rachel's dress in the sponsored segment is so pretty!!!!
Perhaps molly bolts would work to hang the little shelf by the rock garden?
Awww these videos are always so wholesome
Don't forget the cats
Your house is such an inspiration for me!!! I based my home design from your house and hopefully i can built it in the near future😊
Whenever i have something new in our house and our cat shows interest in it, to avoid being pooped and peed by cat, i would spray white vinegar+water to it. And also to the area around it. Works well until now
Rachel, you’re such a beautiful person. Inside and out! I’m constantly amazed by all the talent and skills you and Jun both have. So inspiring! ❤
Absolutely agreed.
my comfort channel right here ❤
Looking at your videos is like looking at a life I could only dream of having ❤
Another excellent job from a Rachel project! 💖
I love your DIY videos, the house looks amazing already and you guys always make it even better
Ahah your first channel what is it like good 10 years go or was it longer. Boy you guys progressed from showing people about japan, cats, cooking now its a diy channel 😄. I am loving it.
Love you guys so much!! I’ve been here since the beginning girl. You guys have grown so much and it’s absolutely fkn beautiful ❤❤❤
You could use large pieces of orchid bark for the plants to cover the dirt, if you don't like the fiber ^^ and the cuttings of Benjamin can actually root in water and you can get a whole new Benjamin out of them!

if it helps at all, we had the dripping issue at my store i work at with high humidity. it seemed to be a clogged filter issue most of the time. no idea if that's you're issue, though ! lovely new genkan area ! it looks amazing. i'm so jealous of your house !! 😂
Amazing, happy to see you guys again and your home looks amazing! Beautiful garden!
15:15 "nagi just gets on the cat runner every time I talk." maybe he needs therapy from your voice! 19:08 picture of you right there deserves to be a meme! JOKES! this video is so amazing. it's lovely seeing you being such a wonderful homemaker and really being so attentive to details in your house with Jun! you are so deeply caring towards your home and every element of it! :D
also: "Benjamin slowly watching his limbs decaying away... O_O" you make the best jokes Rachel ahaha good one!
I'm sure you realized the risks of this rock garden being literally an equivalent to a litter box for your fur babies. ;)
Hopefully the cleaning after process won't be too tedious to the point of regret. >.
Watching this video after the cat door one... I'm so sorry, Rachel.
It’s such a beautiful house✨🥰
Your smatterings of humor are as delightful as someone suddenly handing me a random bite of chocolate! The dramatic music for Nagi wheel ending abruptly, Jun’s wallet in the camera for discourse sake, etc.! Heeheehee!
Whats funny is that it could be random plants under these stairs and it'd still be a Japanese garden. It's a garden and it's in Japan 😂
The text that flashed on the screen after Rachel tossed the not-white rock out of the pile startled me so bad into laughter I actually spit up my drink! thanks (it was very hilarious)
is being clingy an orange cat thing?? we got an orange tabby kitten (and his sister that's a calico!) in may and he gets so upset when he's left alone it's adorably hilarious 😂 both projects turned out very cute!!! y'all's diy skills never fail to impress!! i wish i was that handy lol
I knew as soon as the rocks were put in that one of the cats was going to use it as a litter box lol.
I'm always excited about your videos
use some tea metal balls (might look nice as well) filled with hot chili or bags filled with regular pepper
Can you do another video of ‘A Day in the Life of your Cats’ now that you’re in your house?
Mulch maybe good to cover the soil and retain some moisture.
Rachel your hair oh my god❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rachel you make the coolest things omg! Turned out lovely even if the cats don't understand why they can't use the big litterbox xD
Also I gotta say: those choco strawberries are SO weird but so good, they infuse an actual strawberry in white chocolate, so it still has a little of that strawberry tartness but otherwise it's all white chocolate flavor and texture
I'm gonna be honest with you Rachel. I see a rabbit making mochi in the moon too and I'm from the USA
Yay! Finally!
You two are the only vloggers I watch. Your lives seem so satisfying and full. 😊
You gave Thunder a wonderful home and if/when your hearts are ready, I'm sure you can do the same for another beta or any other fish that steals your heart :)
I love your DIY/room reno videos, I'm always happy to see you post them ♡
