日曜日なので、穏やかな内容を書いています。
昔からBARが好きなので、持ち歩く嗜好品も凝った物を好みます。
上の写真は、近所の煙草店で取り扱いがある何と巻いて作る煙草の紙とその葉です。
巻き煙草というのがあると制服を着ていた頃、青年誌の漫画で読んで以来、とても興味があったので購入してみました。
最近では、節約の為、巻き煙草を自分で巻いて吸っていたり、ファミリーマートでしかまだ確認出来ていないんですが、嗅ぎ煙草が丸いポップなケースに入って360円位で売っています。
こちらはレジの前に置いてありました。
巻き煙草は煙草の葉が透明なビニール製に入っていて、それを何色の紙で巻くか。
そうなんですよ(笑)、あの紙の煙草の、白い紙の部分の紙が選べるんです。
私はさっそく茶色の紙を購入しました。日曜版です。
それとですね、Wildな映画俳優さんがキネマの中で吸っているのは、ノーフィルターかもしれないんですが。
私は通常の煙草が良いので、フィルターも購入しました。
たっぷり入ってますよね。
このフィルターは、細いの(つまりメンソール煙草でお馴染みの細いフォルムの煙草が出来るという訳です)、ミディアムサイズ(こちらは通常の煙草の細さだと思います)、ラージ(葉巻きのような太さなんじゃないでしょうか?)がそのお店には存り、私はメンソールタイプの細いフィルターにしようかお店の方に相談したら、ミディアムの方がお勧め、との事で、分からないので最初は店員さんのお勧めにしました。
その上、煙草の葉は味というか香りが選べるんですね。
なので私はベリー系の味を選びました。
紙、フィルター、煙草の葉、巻く機械(プラスティック製)で、全部で3000円以内でした。
時間が取れなくて、まだ作っていないのですが、出来たら写真を載せますね。
煙草の葉は、少し湿っているのが1番良い状態なんだそうですよ。
煙草については、困る人が居る所で無理に吸っていないので、分煙が私が住んでいる国では行われています。
喫煙所がレストランの階に大体設けられていますが、とても狭いので、こちらは広く、外から吸っている人が見えるよう、安全を重視した作りにして欲しいです。
また、煙草の灰は西洋でも東洋でも北欧でもEUでも、地面に落として何の問題も無い、という風土がある所が多いので、外に造られている喫煙所では、日本では灰は灰皿に落とすので、ご協力下さい、と各国の張り紙が必要だと、常々思っています。
私の住む街の外の喫煙所は、植木で外から見えないように作ってあるので、インバウンドで来て下さる他の文化圏の方々は、防犯で危なくて中に入れないんですね。
なので、以前東京の神田で見かけた、喫煙ルームは防犯の為にちゃんと防犯カメラを設置してあったので、建物内の喫煙所もどんどん取り入れるべきですよね。
ドン・キホーテで人の居ない平日を見計らって、リップ・モンスターとキラキラアイシャドウを買ったんですが、こちらがシャネルやディオールのハイブランドルージュの代わりになるんです。
物凄く驚いて、近所のドラッグストアで2本購入して来ました。
今月はゲランの香水を買ったので、丁度無くなり始めていたシャネルとディオールの口紅が買えなかったんです。
今、予算が無くて買えない方は、リップ・モンスター試してみて下さい・
私はブルーベースなので、青く明るい色チャート(売り場に全取り扱い色のチャート表があって助かりました。青系ならこの番号、赤系ならこの番号と作ってあります。)を見て書いました。
強く発色して長持ちをする上に、他には無い色が沢山あるのでシャネルやディオールをずっと買っているんですが、その強い理由である、発色の鮮やかさと持ちの長さが、リップ・モンスターにあるので、やっと売り切れ続出の理由が分かりました。
海外メーカーの口紅がお好きな方、良かったら覗いてみて下さい。
私としてはしっかり保湿もしてくれるし、特に肌トラブルは起きませんでした。
シャワーの後はオリーブオイルで濡れた髪にヘアパックをして乾かしていますが、スタイリングの時に、やはり同じオリーブオイルの後、ヘアクリームを全体に、グリースを目の辺りから髪につけて、アイロンで巻き、最後はワックスで仕上げています。
他の日に写真を出しますが、ギャッツビーのヘアワックスの蛍光イエローは、艶が出るワックスです。艶が出るワックスです。
買って良かったと心から思います。
デザインのみモデルチェンジしていますので、Amazon等通販で買われている方はご注意下さい。
それでは、落ち着いた秋の素敵な日曜日をお過ごし下さい。

Since it’s Sunday, I’m writing about something gentle.
I’ve always loved bars, so I tend to prefer sophisticated items when it comes to the luxuries I carry with me.
The photo above shows the rolling paper and tobacco leaves—believe it or not—that are sold at a local tobacco shop.
Ever since I read about hand-rolled cigarettes in a manga in a youth magazine back when I was still wearing a uniform, I’ve been really interested in them, so I decided to buy some.
Lately, to save money, I’ve been rolling my own cigarettes, and—though I’ve only seen this at FamilyMart so far—snuff is sold in round, colorful cases for about 360 yen.
This one was displayed right in front of the register.

With hand-rolled cigarettes, the tobacco leaves come in a clear plastic pouch, and you choose which color paper to wrap them in.
That’s right (lol)—you can actually choose the color of the white paper used for those rolled cigarettes.
I immediately bought some brown paper. It’s the Sunday edition.
Also, you know how those “wild” movie actors smoke in Kinema? They might be smoking unfiltered cigarettes.
But since I prefer regular cigarettes, I bought some with filters, too.

| Filters for hand-rolled cigarettes—choose your size |
It’s packed full, isn’t it?
That store carried thin filters (which means you can make the slim-shaped cigarettes familiar from menthol cigarettes), medium-sized filters (I think these are about the same thickness as regular cigarettes), and large filters (I imagine these are as thick as a cigar?). When I asked the clerk if I should go with the thin menthol-type filter, they recommended the medium size, so since I wasn’t sure, I went with the clerk’s recommendation at first.
On top of that, you can choose the flavor—or rather, the aroma—of the tobacco leaves.
So I chose a berry-flavored one.
So, I use this machine (made of plastic) to roll them.
The paper, filter, tobacco leaves, and rolling machine (made of plastic)—the total cost was under 3,000 yen.
I haven’t had time to make any yet, but I’ll post a photo once I do.
Apparently, tobacco leaves are best when they’re slightly damp.
As for smoking, since I don’t smoke in places where it might bother others, smoking areas are designated in the country where I live.
Smoking areas are usually set up on the same floor as restaurants, but they’re very cramped. I’d like them to be designed with safety in mind—spacious enough so that people smoking outside can be seen from the outside.
Also, in many places—whether in the West, the East, Northern Europe, or the EU—there’s a cultural norm where it’s perfectly acceptable to drop cigarette ash on the ground without any issue. That’s why I’ve always thought that outdoor smoking areas in Japan—where we’re accustomed to using ashtrays—should have signs in various languages asking people to cooperate by using the ashtrays.
The outdoor smoking areas in the town where I live are screened off by shrubs so they can’t be seen from the outside, which means visitors from other cultural backgrounds who come to Japan as tourists feel it’s too dangerous to enter for safety reasons.
Therefore, just like the smoking room I saw previously in Kanda, Tokyo—which had security cameras properly installed for safety—we should be adopting indoor smoking areas within buildings more and more.

| LIP MONSTER 06(上) / LIP MONSTER 20(下) |
I timed my visit to Don Quijote for a weekday when it was empty and bought some Lip Monster and glittery eyeshadow—and these actually work as substitutes for high-end lipsticks from brands like Chanel and Dior.
I was so surprised that I went to my local drugstore and bought two tubes.
Since I bought a Guerlain perfume this month, I couldn’t afford to replace my Chanel and Dior lipsticks, which were just starting to run out.
If you’re on a tight budget right now and can’t afford them, please give Lip Monster a try.
Since I have a cool undertone, I checked the chart for bright, cool shades (it was really helpful that the store had a chart showing all available colors—it was organized by number: this number for blue-based shades, that number for red-based shades).
I’ve been buying Chanel and Dior for a long time because they offer intense color payoff, long-lasting wear, and a wide range of unique shades. But since Lip Monster has exactly those same qualities—vibrant color and long-lasting wear—I finally understand why it’s constantly sold out.
If you like lipsticks from international brands, please check it out if you get the chance.

Since I couldn’t find the hair cream I was looking for and was already halfway through my routine, I bought this one too—it was 1,000 yen as well.
For me, it provides good moisture, and I haven’t had any skin issues with it.
After showering, I apply an olive oil hair mask to my wet hair and let it dry, but when styling, I still use the same olive oil first, then apply the hair cream all over, work some grease into my hair starting from around my eyes, curl it with a flat iron, and finish with wax.
I’ll post a photo another day, but Gatsby’s Fluorescent Yellow hair wax is a wax that adds shine. It’s a wax that adds shine.
I truly think I made a good purchase.

Well then, I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful Sunday this fall.
