About Hello Adorable
Konapun Fake Food Making
Color me utterly fascinated.
Apparently there’s this popular kind of toy in Japan called Konapun where you go through all the motions of cooking to make tiny realistic replica food items (that aren’t actually edible).
Each toy set makes a different kind of fake food (cakes, burgers, pizza, sushi, etc). The kit comes with all the “ingredients” plus tiny mixing bowls, spoons, spatulas, etc. Plus whatever “cooking” implement is needed like an oven, stove, freezer, etc.
What the heck is this stuff actually made of you ask? Apparently “kona” means powder and the main ingredient is powdered sodium alginate which is a fiber contained in seaweed.
So amazing. This doesn’t help my theory that I am a Japanese girl trapped a 30-something-year-old American’s body.
Here’s where you can feast your eyes on even more Konapun awesomeness:

Big Gummi Bear Lamp
Not only are these lamps made in the likeness of gummi bears but they are described as “soft and rubbery” with “tiny LEDs in their butts.” Awesome. Designed by Jellio.
Smiley Cotton Swabs
Oh bless you Japan. Even your cotton swabs are cute. I also love how they are referred to as “cotton buds” on Daiso’s website which is way cuter than “cotton swabs.”
Your Daily Affirmation
Even little green pieces of candy need to look in the mirror every now and then and give out a mighty roar to get the day started right. Nothing strange about that, right? Check out more insanely cute art by this artist on Flickr.

The Saddest Pug Ever
I know pugs are inherently sad looking but c’mon! This brings it to a whole new level. I just want to reach into my computer screen and give him a hug. And a cookie.

Mama and Baby Animals Tiny Glass Beads
These glass beads would be adorable enough as is. But then they had to go the extra step and make bigger and smaller versions representing mamas and babies. Even cuter. You can buy them at Oriental Trading.
Extra Special Cookie Monster Cupcakes
There are no no shortage of cookie monster cupcakes out there on the web but I love how this one shows the infamous devouring of the cookie. (Via Reddit)
