BLACK LIVES MATTER (RESOURCES)
Hey all. With everything going on, it feels insignificant to create and post content as if nothing is going on. As much as I love interviews, anime, and fun things, I don’t want to talk about that much less want to see it. I’m tired. I’m angry. I’m hurt. However, I understand that as someone…

5 Tips for Letting Go (of Your Clothes)
I’m not going to lie – I think I’m a hoarder. But not like a Hoarders, hoarder. More like a baby hoarder. It has been hard to admit that but as I’ve moved, cleaned, and reorganized, it became undeniable: I own A LOT of shit. Most recently it became obvious when I decided to clean…
