Sometimes I bring just a shoulder bag; other times I take a small roller with me. I will be......

Rhia Reyes
by Rhia Reyes

There are 3 types of Japan crates to choose from: Mini, Original, and Premium. I decided to start small with the Mini crate. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r634/RCubedBlog/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-11/PhotoGrid_1446936713644_zpsybjs0fxz.jpg   Per their website, the Mini Crate......
