New Releases 08.07.2020 | Something Magical

Happy Friday! I have recently shared the news on my YouTube Channel, but I wanted to share it here too. I will be resuming my full time job on Monday, which means that there’s a good chance that new releases may slow down and I won’t be able to release as much as usual. It has been a dream to be able to focus on my small business and, I know it’s twisted of me to say this especially with…

New Releases | 07.24.2020

Hello! I was hoping to get this post up sooner, but time just did not allow that to happen. The releases that were put up last week Friday included a lot of Hamilton goodies. If you didn’t know, Hamilton is now available for viewing on Disney Plus. I was lucky enough to see the traveling production back in 2018 and I fell in love with it and it’s so fun to be able to watch everyone fall in love…

New Releases | July 17, 2020

I can’t believe another week has come to an end. Since I spend most of my week working on new releases, it just feels like the week goes by so quickly. Today I wanted to share the new releases that have been added to my main shop (jtcreates808.com). I have limited items available on my Etsy shop, so I highly suggest going to my main shop to shop. I have a lot, so I will jump right in.

New Releases | July 10, 2020

Last week I had been busy with packing orders, I didn’t have time to share the new releases that are now available at the shop here.

The new designs are heavily inspired by my roots. It has been almost 10 years since my family and I left home and since then, I have always been trying to find ways to represent my roots. I know that there are a lot of Hawaii locals who have left because the…

It’s my favorite day of the week, not because it’s the last day of the work week, but because it’s new releases day! As mentioned in my last post, here are the sneak peeks of the new products that will be available in my shop today.

I will have more designs available for my pencil pouches and I have also added one more foil color option – blue! I love how it pops on the canvas and it…

The Mouse Merch Box – Spring 2020 Unboxing

Hello my lovely people! I hope that your week is going well so far. We are still under a “stay at home” order so we haven’t been able to do much. I received a surprise email letting me know that I had a shipment from Mouse Merch Box on its way. Before I get to the nitty, I just want to preface this by saying that this is not the first box that I had received from them. My perspective is that of a…

Magical Design Co. | Behind The Design – Part 1

Creating products for my Etsy store has been such a great way for me to get my creative energy out. Since I haven’t been using my planner as much as I usually do, I haven’t been using any of my stickers, so I haven’t felt the need to bring any of my designs to life. I wanted too take you behind the design for my newest Here for The Ears collection, I’m not sure if some of you may find it…

I hope you all are doing well! This has been such an odd period of time for all of us and I hope you guys are hanging in there. Currently, I am furloughed from my job, still have my benefits, and am filing for unemployment on a weekly basis. I know that I am not the only one who is going through it, our entire city relies on tourism and as of right now, that industry is dead.

This week, I am feeling so much better, but am waiting for my energy and strength to come back. Anyhow, I wanted to take some time to share with you my February…

I am a dessert before dinner type of girl. I love sweet treats and I love trying out new bakeries. As I was driving around, I noticed a new bakery near me called Suzuya. I was intrigued, because it sounded Japanese, and I was hoping to get some authentic Japanese sweet treats.  (more…)

Simple Magical Living - Balenciaga x Hello Kitty

Simple Magical Living – Balenciaga x Hello Kitty

In addition to Disney, my other obsession is Hello Kitty. I grew up going to Sanrio almost every weekend and as I got older, I went to Sanrio almost everyday. My favorite character was Pochacco, but they started to phase him out once they began adding more characters. As I was walking to work, I noticed a new collaboration between Balenciaga and Hello Kitty. (more…)
