OK, I have been in the Patreon game for well over a year now… And you know what? I still don’t think Patreon is for me. Yeah, I am making “some money” and considering my humble number of followers on social media, and compared to the big creators, I am doing OK I suppose. But I wish someone had told me a few things before I started.
For those of you who live under a rock I will briefly explain what Patreon is. Patreon is a membership platform that connects content creators with fans and supporters. Followers or patrons will receive rewards in exchange for a monthly fee (it varies).

It has been a while since I posted a new review! Today I bring you a contact lens review for colouredcontacts.com. Coloured spelt the British way with a “u” which sounds much cooler and posh.
Full disclaimer, this post is not sponsored and I didn’t get paid to make it, however I did get the contact lenses for free and I may get a small commission if you click on any of the links in this article. Of course, I will be making an honest review, and these are my real thoughts about the product.

As I was saying, a few weeks ago I received a message from Amy, who asked me i ..read more

Rosario to Vampire is no doubt one of my favourite animes ever! Have I ever told you that I am actually obsessed with vampires and monster girls? I have cosplayed Moka in the past several times and I think I simply want to make all her outfits. She is such an awesome character, well, I guess they, Inner Moka and Outer Moka … just watch the anime or even better, read the manga collection.
How I made my cosplay
For my Moka Akashiya Cosplay I slightly modified my Corset Bodice Pattern and my Circle Skirt patterns which I sew into three layers. I used velveteen in red and burgundy colours. Act ..read more

I started 2021 full of energy. While Re:Zero – Starting life in another world was still airing and my hype was high, I decided to complete my Echidna Cosplay. Echidna is no other than the witch of greed. Actually she is not the only character that I have made from the series. I made my Emilia cosplay when the first season was airing. And probably she definetely be the last one either (Rem and Ram I am looking at your fabrics on my desk)
How I made my Echidna cosplay
The main feature of Echidna’s outfit is the striped fabric. Instead of painting the fabric, which is a method I have used man ..read more

Let me guess, you have spent hundreds of hours finishing an amazing cosplay. Then you have gone to a convention hoping that you will get some good pictures taken. You posed for a dozen photographers and in the end you only got back one photo in a crowded space with a wheelie bin as background and a giant Hello Kitty in the corner. The best picture of your cosplay ends up being the blurry one your mum took before you left. Not ideal right? If you can’t or don’t want to invest on a photoshoot you may consider taking cosplay photos at home.
Best equipment to take photos at home?

Welcome to my Ultimate Cosplay YouTube Channel Recommendation list. Because we all love a bit of cosplay video content. As I just started recording videos again for My YouTube Channel, I decided to go looking for inspiration online and I realised I did not follow many YouTube cosplayers! With some help, I quickly put together a list of names. I know this list is not complete, but I will keep adding names as I come accross them. Special thanks to the lovely people at Kamui’s Cosplay Community who helped making this list possible.
But before I give you the list, I am going to seize the opportun ..read more

I am not a fan of make up and I am absolutely terrible with skincare routines. I know it sounds crazy coming from someone who takes so many photos, but it is the truth . However, I do try my best to look after myself as well as I can, and just before a photoshoot I take extra care, because your skin can make or break a photo. I’m going to show you how to get your skin ready for a photoshoot with very little effort.
Get a perfect canvas
Although I try, I don’t always have time for daily make up routines. But some kind of routine is indeed crucial if you want your make up to stick and look good ..read more
