JAPANESE CUTE DECORATED IPHONE CASE, GLITTER KAWAII CELLPHONES. SPARKLEBEE HELLO KITTY PHONE, REBOUNDER.
There are infinite ways to add a bit of kawaii (Japanese cuteness) to your daily life. Fashion, makeup and Scottish Fold cats come to mind. But we often overlook the item we bring everywhere — our cell phone.
Let’s chat about ways to “cute-ify” your iPhone case and home phone. I’ll also talk about my new fitness obsession, which you may not have heard of: rebounding.
Luxy Loli sent me this handmade iPhone case. It’s one of the best I’ve ever encountered (and I’ve seen some serious mobile bling in Tokyo.)
The case is an eye-catching delight of sparkles, candy colors and characters — including Hello Kitty and Stitch. It’s not heavy, and the decora has stayed in place.
Luxy Loli makes custom cell phone cases , as well as hair clips and other affordable decoden. There’s more cuteness on her Etsy store.
Uh oh. Basil Farrow spots another cat in his territory.
Behold, a Hello Kitty telephone from Sparklebee. When someone calls, the pink wand and wings light up!
The Hello Kitty phone has all the functions I need: caller ID display, memory, options for ringer volume and language. I used it to call Germany, and the reception was perfectly clear.
Can you imagine Basil answering the phone? “Ah-wahhhh…”
Sparklebee’s character family includes Paul Frank and Hello Kitty. It’s my first stop for home decor items, like messenger bags and alarm clocks.
Finally, let’s talk fitness. I never talk about it on my blog, but I’m a workout addict. Especially cardio that doesn’t hurt the joints.
That’s why I’m obsessed with my mini trampoline from Sundance Rebounders. NASA says it’s the most effective full-body workout out there, and the only one that gets the lymph fluid circulating.
Sundance gave me a 42-inch super soft, which is compact enough to store at home. You can bounce gently, for a sense of well-being, or do a variety of jumps for intensity. Rebounding is easy on the joints, and develops balance while targeting different muscles (which is why it’s eclipsed the elliptical as my favorite). If you haven’t heard of rebounders, I highly suggest you look into them, and go with a quality brand like Sundance.
Don’t forget to stretch, as Basil Farrow demonstrates!
His cardio workout consists of running through this tunnel, which my architect dad built.
Don’t forget to get a good night’s rest. Basil and I can sleep 12 hours, easily.
You can see more Scottish Fold cuteness on Basil’s Facebook and Tumblr. I also Tweet photos of him daiky on Twitter.
Would you like me to feature your product, clothing, or other item on my blog? Contact La Carmina for rates and more info. I only work with brands that fit my site’s theme.
Do you have a cool smartphone case or skin? What does it look like, and where did you get it? How about fitness: do you have a favorite workout? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
PS: Off to Wave Gotik Treffen tomorrow! Look out for the pirate.

I’m quite sporty and do Roller Derby and martial arts, but with work, running the house and going to club practices, I don’t get time to set aside for a fitness regime, so I build it into my every day life – for example I walk to work and back (which is a good 14 miles of walking per day, anyway) and do things like run to one lamp-post, walk to the next, run to the next, walk to the next, or try and sprint for sections. I sometimes go to the local park for lunch. A good time for Tai Chi Chuan practice! Regular stair walking is good exercise, so I deliberately go up to the upstairs bathrooms rather than the ground-floor ones. I’ll also walk to and from the shops – I’m pretty sure carrying the weekly shop over a mile up hill is good for me somehow. I was probably at my fittest when I was doing regular manual labour for local conservation groups – clearing shrubbery, laying paths, putting up fencing etc. is all hard work and as long as hard work is done carefully with attention to avoiding injury, it’s good for you – take the Green Gym, a UK organisation I used to go to volunteer sessions at; you do outdoor work and it does you good and the planet good!
nice idea.. thanks for posting.
