Tekko is Pittsburgh’s premiere anime, gaming, fashion, music, and Japanese pop culture convention presented by the Pittsburgh Japanese Culture Society. This year, Tekko was able to bring in over 8,000 attendees, a new record for the convention. During the weekend there were many panels available to go to, so many that I wanted to split myself in half to try to attend them all! One of the panels I was able to attend was “Did You Know? Shinigami Love Apples. Death Note In Depth”. This panel was all about Death Note, the speakers of the panel were even in cosplay. L asked if we were all Pro-Kira or Anti-Kira, which if you’ve watched this show you’re most likely Pro-Kira. Who wouldn’t love someone who wanted to get rid of all of the bad people and crime in the world? The room, unsurprisingly was Pro-Kira for the most part. They also brought it different aspects of how Death Note relates to the Bible. Another one of the panels we attended was “Sweet Viktuuri- Behind the Scenes of Yuri! On Ice”. This panel was interactive and very fun. You could definitely tell the presenter knew what she was talking about. I learned…

The Aromatherapy Beauty Guide (Using the Science of Carrier & Essential Oils to Create Natural Personal Care Products) is amazing.  You can find everything essential oil in this book.  My 19 year old, Sarah, is having so much fun with this book.  She stated she wanted to get into this stuff for a while, but didn’t know how.  Now, she has the perfect Guide to help her. There are 4 parts to this guide: Part 1:  The Foundations Part 2:  Basic Ingredients Part 3:  Essential Oils Part 4:  Formulations Part 3:  Essential Oils is Sarah’s favorite Part.  So, What are essential oils?  “Essential Oils play a significant role in natural personal care products.  Not only do they add the enhancement of scent, but they are also rich in a wide variety of therapeutic properties.  I’m not overtating it when I say that every drop of an essential oil contains a unique natural pharmacy.”  Says Daniel Sade, BSC, CAHP and author of the Aromatherapy Beauty Guide. There is so much more to add, but you should just get a copy of the book.  You won’t regret it.  My daughter is so happy to have the Aromatherapy Beauty Guide.  As I stated…

I know I love Eclairs, and so does my dad.  So, we came across this Eclairs (Easy, Elegant & Modern Recipes) book.  I can’t believe how easily Eclairs are made.  I love making them, especially getting to share them with my dad.  My wife is jealous, because I haven’t let her touch the book.  I’m afraid she’ll ruin it.  There are so many Eclairs to choose from.  If you are an Éclair lover, you need to buy this book. So, there’s a chapter on getting started.  It’s super, and easy to read, and understand.  I really love this book.  It’s so easy to follow, and I get the perfect Éclair every time, from the start. There are Caramel Eclairs, Apricot Eclairs, Black Currant Eclairs, Chocolate Coconut Eclairs, Chocolate Eclairs, and many more.  You really need to get this book. Christophe has created 25 innovative recipes that are perfect for everything from casual gatherings with family and friends to formal celebrations.

My daughter, age 19, loves making these Gravity Cakes, for the book we just received.  With the bright, colorful pictures, it takes barely any effort to make the perfect Gravity Cake every time.  We work at them for an hour or so, and whala, perfection. There are 45 Amazing Cakes to choose from in this book by Jakki Friedman & Francesca Librae.  They’ve really made it an easy obsession, to make Gravity Cakes.  I’d never even heard of a Gravity Cake, until receiving this book.  They are so much fun to make, with my daughter.  And, easier than I could’ve ever imagined. My favorite is “Beach Party”.  My soon to be 6 year old loves the beach, so this is perfect for his birthday.  Sarah, my daughter, and I have been working hard to get this one down pat, so that Jacob has the perfect Gravity Cake for his birthday.  I’m all about freezing it, once it’s fit to perfection.  We started it last night, and we said we would finish it today.  The instructions couldn’t be clearer, and the colorful pictures help to illustrate exactly what to do.  We got this! Full color throughout, these projects will spark your imagination…
