What's In The Box Wednesdays: Sugar Junkie! [ 09-26-2012 ]


(^▽^)/What's In the Box Wednesdays\(^▽^)





Hello, dear bunnies! Taking a day from work is definitely helpful for my rest and to get awesome posts like these done! Inside the box today are items from a very sweet designer and shop owner of ♥ Sugar Junkie ♥ - Pajamie! If you're into sweet pastels and beautiful crochet work, then this is definitely a place you should shop at.




Before I show you what I got, check out the cute packaging! For those of you that follow her Twitter or Instagram, you'll know she had this great adventure of painting the walls of a room like candy stripes (like in the photo above). It made me smile that she chose these designs.


The first item of the batch is this really cute Strawberry Heart Brooch! It came in a cute little baggie with tiny confetti (which I kept!). It's a pin made of wood and the paints are pastel versions of pink, green and yellow for the seeds and rests on a secured pin.


And what's a Lolita without her Candy Bracelet? What I like about this bracelet from Sugar Junkie is that it's not your regular bracelet where it's just made with stretchy jewelry wire. This one is actually made like a bracelet and stranded on little wire eye pins. Doing it this way can lead to a lot of fun ideas with these bracelets and more importantly, they last a lot longer!


This next piece is definitely my favorite. It's another bracelet but it's actually made to look like a sweet Lollipop. The bracelet itself is a delicate strand of faux pearls that lead down to the cutest piece of candy I've ever seen (too bad you can't eat it!). It's a soft pink star-shaped lollipop that has glitter and star-shaped confetti inside. It sits on a real lollipop stick and has a pretty light blue bow tied around it. I LOVE it.


The final piece of this sugary package is another yummy brooch. It's actually a crochet cookie! Chocolate chip to be exact - My favorite! It even has "chocolate chips" which actually appear to either be clay or plastic. Either way, they're very realistic and it takes a lot for me to not eat it when I wear it! It has a cute multi-colored backing with the pin secured on that.


I have to say that this is definitely one of the most fun packages I have gotten. The packaging reminds me so much of the shop owner and I can easily make the connection. Everything was neatly placed in their own colorful container. Presentation even before I got to the items gets a great score! Each item is beautifully crafted (and they're all in different mediums which shows she has a lot of skills in different areas). And even her business cards are fun. The colors, the fonts chosen - everything connects and is thought out. I am very happy with the experience.


Thank you so much, Pajamie! You definitely live up to the title "Sugar Junkie".


Until next time~

A Star is Born Again! Sailor Moon's Return! [ 07-08-2012 ]



All Sailor Moon fans have been partying all weekend since the HUGEannouncement this past Friday that was streamed online! Sailor Moon will be back in an all NEWanime which will air WORLDWIDEbeginning Summer 2013! Definitely exciting news!



We all thought it was so strange that everything was kept hush hush, especially since this year marks the 20th Anniversary of Sailor Moon. We had a few websites say "Happy Anniversary" but no real news was being talked about if they were going to do anything big for such an important date. But it wasn't until Friday, July 6th, 2012 where all Moonie fans around the world that could, jumped onto their computer and logged to the sites that were going to be streaming this event. I mean, it had to be huge news if they were going to record something like this!

What's also very awesome that was revealed, is that a lot of old memorabilia is going to be re-released!No exact news on what that means exactly but for those of us that never really had a chance to collect Sailor Moon goodies because they were too young or they didn't live in Japan - we get a second chance! I can't wait to see what will be released!





I'm hoping we will see a special edition (in MUCH better quality) of the entire Sailor Moon anime. I've been collecting the Sailor Moon manga released by Kodansha but only have both volumes of Sailor V and the first two books of Sailor Moon. I need to get crackin'!Hmmm...I wonder if the re-release of the manga was a clue that something big would happen this year....I wonder.

Anyway, in celebration of this huge event, I have changed all of my sites, including this blog, to Sailor Moon theme! What do you guys think? I designed them myself!


I was just so happy when they said Sailor Moon was making a comeback. For most of us, that anime marks the best times of our childhood. A lot of fans have already begun making their own versions of Sailor Moon goods and they're all very beautiful too! I actually own one and will soon have another (can't wait!).




I also made this Sailor Moon inspired hairclip out of clay! Doesn't it look adorable? I may try to make more Sailor Moon goodies so please stay tuned! (And I know I'm a little late with what I promised but definitely after Otakon, you will see some of my work on Etsy! That will definitely happen!)

I noticed that my blog is mostly of reviews on products. That will definitely change too. I'll be talking more about the stuff I'm interested in so the blog isn't just boring and entirely on reviews.

Take care, everyone and I will post if there are any more updates on Sailor Moon!



Until next time~
