Hello, it's Reviewsday Tuesday and it's the final Tuesday of the month
So it's time for me to talk about my July Favourites.
How has July been for you? I hope you have been keeping safe and well
And that you have had a good month.
My month overall has been pretty good, can't complain.
I'm at the start of a couple of weeks off work so I'm looking forward to a little bit of a holiday.
I'm not going anywhere, I'm just gonna play video games and rest.
But anyway, let's talk about some of my favourite things from this month.
I'm going to start by talking about live shows, sort of,
The kind of live shows that were originally live.
I have been continuing to watch the National Theatre at Home series on YouTube every week.
I've seen them all this month and my favourite was A Midsummer Night's Dream.
This is the recent Bridge Theatre production starring Gwendoline Christie.
And it was just joyous. It was really imaginative and fun.
The audience was right in the middle of the action which was so interesting.
It was just a really exciting show to watch and I really want to see it again.
Also this month is the month when Hamilton has come to Disney Plus.
The Broadway production of Hamilton was filmed before the original cast left
So now if you have access to Disney Plus
You can see the original cast of the Broadway production of Hamilton whenever you like.
It's really good, it's really well filmed. I feel very lucky to be able to watch it.
Secondly i'm going to talk about a film.
My current access to Disney Plus now means
That I have finally been able to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
I really enjoyed it. I'd still say that The Force Awakens is my favourite of the new trilogy
But there was a lot of good stuff in Rise of Skywalker
And I feel like it was overall a pretty good end to that trilogy
So I'd recommend checking it out if you have the opportunity.
Now a web series, Critical Role is back, they are back!
They are now socially distanced so it looks slightly different, but they're back!
And I think there have been three episodes now and it's really, really great.
Some fantastic story and character things are happening at the moment.
Also I want to mention that Narrative Telephone ended this week
Although I believe it will be returning in a few weeks.
But this is the show that the cast of Critical Role did during lockdown.
And the final episode was last week and I think it was my favourite.
I laughed so much and I think I was crying with laughter on at least two occasions.
What a wonderful thing that they made during lockdown. I've just loved this show.
Now a game. This month I have started to play The Last of Us Part II on Twitch.
I'm really impressed with it so far. We've played for a few weeks.
Very dramatic, exciting storyline, brilliant characters.
And I've been really impressed with the gameplay as well.
It feels more fun to me to play than the previous game,
I think because there's quite a bit of variety in the sort of things you can do.
I'm a big fan of that in video games.
It was also one of my favourite things about the Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Now some food!
As you may know from my video last week, I bought a three month subscription to Tokyo Treat.
Tokyo Treat is a subscription service where you get different Japanese snacks and sweets every month.
I did an unboxing video last week and I said I would report back on some of the snacks.
So i've eaten a few things so far and my favourites are
The salt lychee Kit-Kats which I ate accidentally in the video,
Also I liked the orange vanilla Coca-Cola,
But my favourite thing so far has been the Pure Pikachu gummies.
You know, they're just little tropical fruit gummies.
I'm a bit surprised that they're my favourite to be honest because I'm not the biggest fan of gummy sweets
But I really like the texture of these, they're very soft,
It's a somewhat different texture to the gummies that I am used to.
The gummies come in two shapes, the normal Pure gummy shape apparently which looks like a guitar pick
And also there are little Pikachu shaped ones which are really cute.
It says that if you're lucky there'll be a Pikachu shaped gummy in the bag
But over half of this bag is Pikachu shaped gummies
So either I'm really, really lucky or they were slightly exaggerating the rarity of the Pikachu gummies.
I think the latter is more likely but still, I'm really happy with how many Pikachu gummies I have.
I'm saving them till last, they're going to be the last thing that I finish from this Tokyo Treat box.
And finally today I'm going to talk about a purchase.
So at the same time as I bought the Tokyo Treat three month subscription
I also bought another subscription box as a one-off with a 20% discount.
And that arrived last week and it was a SoKawaii box.
I didn't make an unboxing video for this one because there were only a few things in the box
And I wasn't sure how much I'd like them so I was like "this is just a one-off box
"So I'm just gonna open it now."
So I opened it and I loved everything and now I kind of wish I'd done an unboxing video.
So I got a My Neighbour Totoro wooden toothbrush.
I got a little plush pouch which I'm using as a pencil case.
Apparently there were nine different colours of this pouch that you could have got.
I feel like white is the least practical because it's gonna show the dirt
So I'm being quite careful with it. Cut to two weeks time when it's just covered in ink somehow.
I got a cute little Marimofubiori mug which I'm using as a pen pot. It's really cute.
A retractable keychain which is really useful, a Kirby one.
And the final thing which is my favourite thing in the box and, you know, possibly just ever
Is this Kirby plush. He's so cute!
I have never experienced a plushie so soft.
He's bigger than I was expecting. I mean he's bigger than the box.
He came vacuum sealed and folded in half
And then once I released him from his vacuum-sealed prison
He sort of gradually expanded over the course of a few hours and is now this size.
So very happy with my life choices.
So now I'm seriously considering getting a longer subscription to SoKawaii
Because that could not have been more of a success than it was .
And if I do, then I should probably do an unboxing video next time.
Just the amount of joy that this pink cushion has given me in the last few days has been quite something.
Anyway, those are some of my favourite things from July, quite an unusual month it would seem.
I'd really love to know what some of your favorite things are from this month
