Imported Toiletries & Pharmaceuticals

Japanese Green Tea Candy - tasted very much like a strongly brewed cup of green tea!

 and to extend the mood, green tea towels...
Many of you know about the effectiveness of Tiger Balm as an ointment for sore joints and muscles...
Camellia Oil - the Japanese swear by this for skin and hair health, and Geisha have always used this as a hair strengthener...

A vintage box of German Sandelholz sandalwood soap with Chinese junks (a type of BOAT)... the soaps were wonderful but I use the box now for ambience in my Southseas bathroom...

This soap is Chinese made and incredibly affordable at around 25c a piece in LA's Chinatown! (so I got four boxes).

My Singapori Chinese lantern, a covered Chinese mug and a Japanese glazed Sake cup holding a pink lip gloss. The perfume is Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea fragrance...
I love the freshness of Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden in summer...
For me, Asian and "Southseas Tiki" just go together beautifully...Tiki Mugs also are great for storage and displaying things like chopsticks and makeup pencils!
Mahjong bracelet holds an Alphahydroxy face serum...well, what else could it be used for?
