What I Learned From A Lost Package

5/7/2022

Where Are You, Cats and Cherry Cake?

Lolita fashion is a wonderful hobby. Like me, you probably spend hours planning coordinates, rearranging your closet, or adding new pieces to your wardrobe. There are few things more exciting than getting a package with a new addition!

So what if your anticipated package just, disappears?

Recently, I ordered Cats and Cherry Cake (technically twice, but we will get there) from Kuroshiro Kawaii. When USPS updated the status to delivered, I could not find it anywhere. My insured package was just gone! It has never been recovered. The worst part is, since it was marked as delivered, USPS denied my insurance claims. Yes, seriously!

In this post and video, I'll share my tips on how to prevent this from happening to you!

My excitement for my parcel couldn't be matched! I felt so fortunate to have snagged this incredible set. As I unboxed the stunning Wonder Toy OP in pink I was glad I had waited to record the moment. After five long years, it was mine! Once trying the piece on, however, I came to a terrible realization.

The dress didn't fit. It happens to everyone, but it doesn't make it easier. When I find myself in this situation, this is the process I use to decide if I should make space for it or help it find another home!

Fun for the whole family!

Conventions are a great way to share your love of a hobby with your family. From gaming to anime, fashion to Disney, these conventions allow us to celebrate some of the things that we enjoy the most. Although I do not currently have children of my own, many of my friends and family do have kids! Their children enjoy conventions as much, if not more, than their parents.

A large part of a convention is the Vendor's Room and the Artist Alley. As we head into the high point of the convention season, here are my 5 tips on how to shop for your child at any one of these types of conventions.
