Book Review- Sugary Girls: The Art of Eku Uekura (Japanese Edition) by Edu Uekura

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For many years, I enjoyed collecting art books. I own art books from movies, artists, and other media. As someone who has always loved art, I loved collecting them.

Since the 2020 Covid pandemic, I have substantially slowed down in collecting art books. This is mostly because there isn’t very many new art books I wanted to collect. One of the new books that caught my eye was Sugary Girls, The Art of Eku Uekura. It is an art book of girls wearing clothing inspired by deserts by Japanese artist Eku Uekura. Even though I have owned this book for more than a year, I decided to write a post about it now. To be honest, the only reason why I didn’t talk about it is because I wanted to enjoy looking at it without worrying about thinking up what to say in a review post.

Art, Fan Art, and Book Fan Inspired Small Businesses to Shop on Black Friday 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s Thanksgiving week which means so many great things. For shoppers, and anyone looking for bargains, it means it is time for Black Friday sales!

This year, I wanted to share small business I really like that are available to shop online on Black Friday. They are all taking orders (Unless I wasn’t aware they were closed this week!) and some may even have sales in honor of the big shopping day. I don’t know all the sales they have or any special offers for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, so please check out their websites to see if there are any specials available!

I also want to mention that I have either purchased from the stores or have been watching them for a while and have good reviews. The links to the shops are going to be their own shop websites or Etsy stores. If there is an Etsy store and a separate shop website, I will link both.

None of the links in this post contain affiliate links. The stores featured in this post are not sponsored.

January 2024 Book Haul- Part 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For the past few months, I’ve been very busy. Sadly, there are many blog posts that need to be written or finished that still have yet to be. For this reason, I decided to dedicate a post every week for as long as it will take to publish these unfinished posts!

One of these posts are about a series of book hauls. I really liked the books I purchased, but I felt embarrassed by the amount of books I purchased in one month’s time. This was also around the time I started to dedicate more time and energy to decluttering my things, including books. Because of this, I wanted to hold off writing book hauls posts just in case I decided to get rid of any of the books in this haul. For this haul, which is one of four haul posts I will be publishing this month, I decided to keep all the books in this haul. Even though they are new and some I don’t really enjoy as much as I thought I would, I still want to keep them for a little while longer in the event I change my mind about them.
