Special Edition NYC

Hey peeps, I hope ya'll been staying cool in this hot as heck weather. NYC is going through a heat wave and the last few days have been tough. Last month, I attended Special Edition with Boba and Rae for the first time. I've been making an effort to get more into the world of comics and graphic novels. I didn't have access to a comic book store until a Barnes and Noble was built when I was in high school and that doesn't even count lol Their selection was whack! So I never really paid comics and graphic novels any mind. The more I've watched movies based off them or heard my friends say how much I would love them, I decided why not. I figured Special Edition would be a great opportunity to learn more!

The comic book festival was held at Pier 94. It was my first time at the venue; I heard that it's usually held at Javits but there was already something that same weekend so they had to use a different place. I thought Pier 94 was okay, it definitely got a little hot and I wasn't a fan of the wonky lighting inside.

Boba headed to the NYCC ticket line to try to get tickets for his sister. Poor thing ended up being in line for almost four hours. He's such an awesome big brother. He was able to get her a 4 Day which I'm sure she'll love. He's the real mvp^^

Sorry for the hazy lighting, the lights they used inside had that effect on my cell phone camera. A few of my favorite vendors were there. Midtown Comics was having an amazing sale. I had to summon the chill within myself and not buy a bunch of stuff since we hadn't seen what was in the artist alley.

Kiss Me on Clover Hill Prologue Review

Hey everyone! This month has been a little crazy so far. I've been working to prepare my cosplay for Waku Waku and NYCC. So far so good! I'm wondering whether or not I should start a cosplay page for Facebook. Tiff and I are thinking about starting on together.

Anywho, today I'll be reviewing Voltage's app they released earlier this month, Kiss Me on Clover Hill. Enjoy!

July 2, 2015

It's your first day of college and you're excited and nervous. You're in the Design Department in Mukaigaoka College of Art. You quickly make two friends and head to the entrance ceremony. After the ceremony, you head to the house where you a renting a room to meet your new roommate. After a misunderstanding you find yourself without lodging. Wandering the streets you see a home that feels warm and inviting that somehow draws you to it and made an offer.

Japan Crate Review

Wud up, this month has flown by, but at least there's a long weekend this week to look forward to. I decided to treat myself and sign up for Japan Crate. I had heard of the service awhile ago, but hadn't found the time to sign up for it. Since June is my birth month I figured it would be a nice birthday present for myself.

Japan Crate is a monthly subscritption box filled with candy. They have different sizes, so I decided to go all out and sign up for their Premium box which has 2 pounds of candy and comes with a drink.

The goodness 

You get a nice card with information on all the candy. I also got a cute little Totoro figure!

What's actually interesting is that my mom bought a crate for my niece too. She called me one day sounding tried as heck and asked me where would buy my Japanese snacks from before I moved to NYC. My niece apparently really wanted to try some. I asked my mom how she got into them, my mom was like, "I don't know. How did you find that s***." The shade was real that day lol So I told her about Japan Crate and she ordered the June one for our little lady.

Everything was straight up good! There wasn't anything I didn't like. I also like how you get DIY kits. This was my first time making one; Boba and I decided to make them together. Both were delicious and really fun to make. I love that Japan Crate also has videos for how to make the DIYs in case you want something for reference.

It has really hard to pick my favorite snacks since there wasn't a single thing I disliked. I finally settled on two: one savory and one sweet.

These snacks are peach gummy heaven! They're called Happy Nikukyu which translates to Happy Paw.  I literally searched online for a few days to find out where I could get these. J List has them back in stock, so I plan to buy some from their soon.

But these snow pea chips tho. I need to try to find these babies and Dainobu or Sunrise Mart because ya girl has a mighty need.

I decided to stay subscribed, so I'll let you know if I receive anything super interesting in July's crate. As a huge fan of Japanese snacks, I really love this subscription box because it helps you discover more snacks. Thanks for reading!
