LULU & GEORGIA AT HOME WITH ZOOEY IN THE CITY

 For Mother's day, Zooey and I collaborated with Lulu & Georgia, one of the cutest home decor brands to do a feature. They actually don't specialize in kids furniture but we were able to choose items that worked for Zooey's playroom. It's been my dream to have a space in our home that is photogenic and is a spot where Zooey and I can bond. 

Zooey and I wore matching pieces from Ultraviolet Kids who just launched their Women's line. So for all you momma's who want to match with your little mini me, head over to Ultraviolet Kids! 

We put Zooey's favorite little stuffed animals inside the Tee Pee. She likes to play house with them. 

The #elodierug is a collaboration with Glitterguide that can be found on Lulu & Georgia

The Laguna Wall Hanging is also from Lulu & Georgia 

 This design your own butterfly wings arts & crafts is from Seedling.

 I love that even though Zooey is an independent 4 year old, she still wants to be close to me. I cherish these moments. 

 She especially LOVES books, so this corner is a perfect place to read books together.

Zooey has been mastering her skills of writing her own name. I'm so proud of her! 

 Usually when I read to her, I ask her questions about the pages..like how many people are in the airplane?

 Zooey enjoys reading Japanese books as well as English books. It helps me keep up my Japanese reading skills.

 Thanks for reading!!

Love Mai & Zooey

RAFIA JEWELRY MOMMY & ME FEATURE

How cute are Mommy & Me features!? A lot of my new followers usually don't know what I do or how I began to do what I do. Though I like to keep this mysterious, I'm always up for a Mommy & Me feature! A few weeks ago, Rafia Jewerly, which is the sister brand of VidaKush asked to do an interview with me. I was flattered! Also it was the first time I had to say out loud how things changed since becoming a mom after my Tokyo Party Days...It was nostalgic.  Last year, Zooey and I did a mommy & me shoot together for Mother's Day with Space 46 Boutique and this was just a photoshoot and no interview. When I look back it's really crazy how much has changed and how much Zooey has grown! Anyhow, anyone who knows me knows that I'm camera shy and prefer to be behind the camera, but here are some snippets of our feature and you can read the interview here: MOMMY & ME  P.S. If anyone is wondering what is up with the bandana around my neck and why i'm always wearing it recently.. it's to cover my surgical scar! 

 Love my babe so much!!!!

THAT ONE TIME I MODELED FOR DAMMIT DOLLS

HI! Sorry for scaring you with this photo but I just wanted to share that I modeled for DAMMIT DOLLS a while ago hehe I was so flattered to be picked to join a cast of really cool people whom you can see here: DAMMIT DOLLS CAST  

What are Dammit Dolls you ask?

Have you EVER had a DAMMIT moment where you just wanna throw something against the wall? Well, that's what these cute little dolls are for! The concept is so funny and the shape is like a Voodoo Doll..So if you're pissed at something or someone, take it out on your Dammit Doll. #motherhood has many of these moments right?

Wish I can work with this team again!!!! So fun! lol!
