JULY 7, 2021 - FASHION & MENTAL HEALTH CHAT 🎁
During this live stream I delve into my backstory and the struggles I personally wrestled with growing up. In the midst of that struggle, I describe how fashion and other creative outlets were a major coping mechanism for me. I am proud of who I am today, and hope my story inspires others to experiment with their own creative outlets and mediums of self expression.
If you're struggling to define your style or form your own identity, definitely check this live stream out!
At the end of the live stream, I did a necklace and hair clip set giveaway and @rainbow_r0ses_inmyclouds was the winner!

JULY 10, 2021 - JUST CHATTING 💗
I went live just a bit after the previous live stream since I was sewing my Seifuku Collars. I felt that even though it wasn't scheduled, it would still be fun to show the process of sewing the collars, while I did some Q/A!
Majority of the live stream content is Q/A, so if you want to know more about me, or any advice I have for getting started with fashion or creative outlets, definitely check out this live stream recording!
JULY 14, 2021 - LET'S TALK ABOUT MY SHOP 🎁
When I started TikTok, my intention was just to have a new fun creative outlet for me to unwind from work during my free time. However, since I had a ton of items from my shop that I had closed, I decided to do giveaways so that the items can go to people who will be able to use and love them (instead of letting them continue to collect dust in my storage room). After I started doing my giveaways, my account grew really quickly and many people asked if I had a shop or if I would open a shop so they could buy the items I was giving away!
Due to the demand, I decided to work on preparing to re-open my shop! During this live stream, I give a time estimate on when I plan to open my shop back up, but also delve into the reasons why I closed my shop in the first place. Depending on how things go during my shop launch, I may or may not continue to keep it open due to the reasons why I closed it in the first place. I'm optimistic for the re-launch and look forward to seeing what's in store.
For the giveaway portion at the end of the live stream, @kitkatkatie369 won a box of accessories, and @scenecoregore won the extra BLM shirt I had! PS: The artwork printed on the BLM shirt was illustrated by @gianella_baby! Please check her content out and support her!
JULY 17, 2021 - Q/A
The plan for this live stream was to do a laser cutting demonstration in my garage so I can showcase how I make my accessories. However, due to a scheduling conflict, I wasn't able to be home during the schedule live stream time.
So this live stream is just a quick Q/A of some fun questions about me and a bit about my shop as well.
JULY 28, 2021 - STARTING A SHOP / BIZ ADVICE 🎁
As many of my followers are excited about my shop opening soon, there are some who also asked about any advice I had for artists who are looking to start a shop of their own. During this live stream, I talk about my journey with business, marketing, and creative skillsets and how that all plays into starting your own shop (and defining what a successful shop is for YOU).
If you're looking for advice on where to get started, what you might expect, and my personal do's and don'ts for starting and running a shop, definitely check out this live stream!
At the end of the live stream, I gave away a pair of thigh highs. @hiwaru was the winner of this giveaway!
JULY 28, 2021 - DE-STRESS GARDEN WALK
After the previous live stream recording, I take a walk around the botanical gardens that I was sitting in, to provide a space where viewers and relax, de-stress, and take some time to slow down.
TW: Conversations of suicide were touched on during this walk.

JULY 31, 2021 - SHOP Q/A
The initial plan for this live stream was to visit some artist tables at Animanga Expo, and interact with the attendees to buy items I could have for my upcoming giveaways. However, when we got to the convention center, the line was 4 hours long (and the con would close in about 4 hours), so we left.
