This week, some current favourites and recommendations from Arlandyia, one of our staff writers.
Listening: YOASOBI are still such a banger for me and I can never get tired of them! I think it’s really cool how they create music from novels and what’s more, the English versions of their songs sound pretty much the same as the original Japanese tracks while still maintaining the same lyrical meaning.
Watching: SPY×FAMILY is such a cute show, and yes, I did get into it thanks to pink-haired, peanut-loving Anya. Her dynamic with her parents and classmates is highly entertaining, and I look forward to seeing more of the series.
Buying: Krittiya Chok (whom I’ve mentioned a few times on the SCK blog) has released a new set of stickers and washi tapes, and I am itching to add more to my already growing collection from her shop.
Eating: Strawberry yogurt chips – an accidental find during a 7-11 trip. Curiosity got the best of me so I went ahead and got a pack, and it actually tasted really good! As they say, don’t knock it ‘til you try it.
The team have been busy preparing fun new posts for the next few weeks and you can expect some cute picks for Pride Month, new kawaii craft books for your wish list, adorable recipes to try and lots more. We should also have reviews of both the Spring Pusheen Box and Cat Kit, and Gabriel is planning a visit to the ARTBOX Cafe!
One of those Pride posts is Animal Crossing custom designs and you can download this new version of Marceline’s Ghost sweater (it says Boo! on the back) using the creator code MA-3523-0249-6954. There’s some SCK-themed designs there too.
Thanks for reading! The SCK Team are Marceline, Natasja, Andi, Nicolette, Gabriel, Nova, Arlandyia, Emma & Jen. Follow SCK on Instagram for more cuteness, including photos from Nicolette’s recent visit to the ARTBOX shop in London.
