Amazon Affiliate
Living on an island makes shopping online a necessity at times. When shopping on Amazon, it is oftentimes better to use Amazon Japan for regional products. Be sure to click the correct link for your Amazon store, for example, you cannot use your Amazon.com (US) to shop on the Amazon Japan (amazon.jp) store. However you can sign-up for your own Amazon Japan account and have super fast shipping, usually within a week!

I love shopping at iHerb online while living abroad. The prices are competitive and there is a wider selection of items that I have had difficulty finding in Japan. This includes deodorant and foundations in my shade. By using rewards code AXO8295 at check-out, you can help support our site. Thank you!
