On Wednesday, Bright Bat joined our art stream with us and it was so fun! She worked on her Patreon sticker of the month and Stephen started a new collectible postcard for BizBaz Club. I shouted at Overcooked while they actually showcased their talent, ha!

On Sunday Stephen and I played Overcooked together and it was a blast! I can't wait for the next stream. I am HOOKED to Overcooked! That needs to be a t-shirt.

See you at the next stream!
]]>On Wednesdays Stephen will do his art stream for at least 2 hours. Y'all seem to be digging the change already so we will keep it this way! He cranked out two new BizBaz designs during this stream: Naruto and Shrek themed. Which is your favorite?
On Sundays I will do my regular game/unboxing/hang out stream for two hours instead of one!
This last Sunday I showed off some sneak peeks to artists coming into the store, talked about some upcoming things at BizBaz Club, and with your vote played Overcooked for the first time!
I am HOOKED to say the least! I will definitely keep playing this. I even played it with Stephen after the stream.
See you at the next Twitch stream!
]]>A big change we made starting in these streams is that when we can, Stephen and I will do our streams together vs solo. I love this change because streaming gives me hella anxiety and Stephen is also way funnier then me...so it's a win/win! I hope y'all like it too.
We played Monster prom, finished our Prince Endymion drawing, did a bunch of hauls, and talked about BizBaz @ Home. It was a lighter week but still such a fun time.

We will see you this Saturday for BizBaz @ Home! Get your ticket here if you haven't already.

Moonie Monday was yesterday which is Stephen's other weekly stream. He continued the magical Prince Endymion drawing he has been working on - SO DREAMY! This will be finished soon and I can't wait to see the final product!
Rewatch the stream here if you missed it!
I continued Crash Bandicoot on my Wednesday stream and I made some decent progress! I also showed off some mail hauls and gave you insights into May's BizBaz @ Home, our first in-person BizBaz event since COVID, and more!
Watch me get too angry at this game if you missed out!
My last stream was a BLAST - we started a new game together: Monster Prom. It's a hilarious and entertaining dating sim game and y'all helped me make all the decisions. We will definitely keep playing this!
]]>On Sunday afternoon I hosted my gaming stream and continued Crash Bandicoot 4. I started the stream with some unboxings, information/sneak peeks into May's BizBaz @ Home, and more announcements!
Then I continued the infuriating but fun Crash Bandicoot game! I made some progress after a LOT of deaths. I'm glad my rage entertains y'all!

On Stephen's two streams, he started two new projects! For his Thursday sesh, he introduced a brand new character into our BizBaz Fam - the evil Prince Boo! He is inspired by our black tuxedo cat, Boo - and even has the same mustache! I'm obsessed with him. This character will be officially released at one of our October events since he is so spooky.
You can rewatch the Prince Boo stream here if you missed out!
For Moonie Monday, Stephen started a new design as well: Endymion! I love the purple direction this is going and can't wait to see this finished!
You can rewatch the stream here if you want to!
My last stream was of course another gaming one where I continued Crash! I had a ton of hauls to show off so I did that first. Did you see anything you liked? Most of it was from April's BizBaz @ Home!
I played a ton of Crash too and can't wait to continue on Wednesday's stream!
You can watch the stream again here if you missed it!
We have a lot going on this week so we hope to see you somewhere on the internet:
Wednesday @ 7 PM PST: Game Stream
Thursday @ 7 PM PST: PopShop Live Show
Friday @ 6 PM PST: Drawing Stream
Don't forget May's BizBaz @ Home tickets are on sale now so don't miss out on our exclusive Biz2Baz2 set this month:

Stephen started a new Moonie drawing last week and finished it yesterday! It's of Fisheye and came out so beautiful. I love the cherry blossom petals he added - I think this will be a print available in Silver Crystal Shop very soon! What do you think?
You can rewatch his drawing streams where he worked on this here and here!
On Friday we had a special treat for Stephen's stream - Bright Bat joined us and finished her sparkle dog drawing from BizBaz @ Home! Stephen drew the coloring page for May's BizBaz @ Home too. How awesome. I also joined the party and did a Pokemon card unboxing. This was a great way to spend Friday night if I do say so myself.
You can rewatch the stream here if you missed it!
I began a new video game for my Gaming with Jules series...Crash Bandicoot! I totally missed the memo on this and saw it at Best Buy. I didn't realize it has been out for so long! I'm either really oblivious or they are bad at marketing. I'm assuming I'm just oblivious. This game is a happy sort of anger inducing one, ha! I'm excited to play more. I also had some hauls to show off and made some BizBaz club announcements.
You can rewatch my stream here if you missed it!
This was an amazing week to say the least! I can't wait to see what this next week brings. We will be streaming on our regular days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday), but don't forget we have our PopShop live show on Thursday at 7 PM PST! We'll be showcasing 10 artists, offering a special promotion, giving some goodies away, and more fun! Hope to see you there!
]]>On his next live drawing stream on Monday, he totally reworked the style of this drawing and started over! Typical Stephen, right? He ended up finishing it though and it looks so dreamy and beautiful! We want to make these prints or pins - which one do you prefer?
You can rewatch the whole stream here!
My stream did not happen last Wednesday thanks to never ending cursed tech problems on my PC! I don't get it. Stephen and I are fairly tech savvy but jeeze - I always have tech problems even after doing test runs prior to the stream.
I began my stream with an hour of updates since I missed Wednesday's stream - our life moves so fast! Here are some things I covered in this chit chat sesh:
See? So many updates when I miss even one stream. You can rewatch the whole stream here to see all the deets!
I kicked ass during Bowser's Fury y'all. We made so much progress this week and I can't wait to continue!
I cannot wait for the rest of our streams this week. Thank you for all of your support with our Twitch! It's definitely something I look forward to almost every day (hopefully one day we can stream daily!)
That's it for now. Tomorrow is my next nerdy stream and then Friday is Stephen's next live drawing. Then...BizBaz @ Home is on Saturday! Be sure to get your ticket for that if you haven't yet.
Look at some of the graphics our vendors for this month made! It's going to be another epic BizBaz @ Home - I just know it!
]]>Stephen started a new Moonie Monday drawing featuring Sailor Cloud - a Final Fantasy x Sailor Moon mashup.
Did you join our Discord yet too? Learn all about it in our blog this week!
]]>We vended at our first ever online convention that we weren't also hosting, HarukaCon 2021! Sugarhime hosts this and does an incredible job. It has the same vibe when it comes to the type of community they're building: positive, inclusive, and fun! We were able to also host a panel during this convention so here's what you missed if you didn't tune in.
We tweaked our BizBaz @ Home commercial a bit for HarukaCon. How cute did it turn out? Stephen is so talented, y'all.
We had to do something special on our Twitch for our HarukaCon panel - so we gave away a ton of our products to keep the party going. Did you win anything this time around?
Click here to rewatch this segment if you missed it or want to relive the fun!
I spent a little bit of our panel showing all of the awesome flair we have in person / on our website! It was hard choosing just a few items to give you a feel for everything we carry - but I could talk about our products all day lol. I limited it to about 15 minutes! Did you cop anything during HarukaCon?
We spent the last half of our stream playing Jackbox games with you all and it was LIT. We played a round of Trivia Murder Party and Quiplash. I wish we could have played all night! We gave some prizes to the winners for each round too.
Click here to rewatch the the stream!
I can't wait for the next HarukaCon! I hope we can vend/host a panel again but regardless we will be attending.
Our latest stream was Moonie Mondays with Stephen! He started a new drawing - Sailor Cloud. We've been playing the Final Fantasy VII remake so he's mashing up Cloud and Sailor Moon. What do you think of it so far?
You can rewatch the stream here!
See you again tomorrow for my nerdy night stream! I'll probably be continuing more Bowser's Fury. I can't wait!
Don't forget we created a Discord for BizBaz Club! We are almost at 100 users in just a few days of launching - so come join in the fun! This is an extension of our store, event, and community. You don't want to miss out!
]]>I had no hauls this week - crazy, right?! I did talk about two really exciting things though.....our new BizBaz Club Discord channel and the online event we are vending at this weekend: HarukaCon! Hosted by our lovely friend, sugarhime.
We will have an exclusive sticker of Doki in a cherry blossom available for FREE with any purchase if you order during the convention so don't miss out!
We created a Discord too. This is an extension of BizBaz Club from our storefront to events to Twitch and everything in between! Come join in the fun. Click here!
Of course I continued yelling and getting PO'd at Bowser's Fury too. I love it! I hope you enjoy watching me act a fool as well, lol.

On Thursday Stephen finished his Sailor Britney print! How AMAZING did it turn out!? I am freaking out at how perfect it is. I think we'll be making prints....do you want those? Let me know!
Click here to watch the stream again if you missed it!
We will see you all weekend at HarukaCon so I hope you'll come attend! There's giveaways, sales, amazing artists, panels, and more fun stuff. It's FREE too - so what are you waiting for?!
]]>My nerdy nights covered so many fun things! I recently was able to grab someone's ENTIRE Moonie trading card collection - so I showed that off in detail.
Which one was your favorite?
I also had some dope hauls that were a bit more random and then my March BizBaz @ Home haul!
Such a good week of goodies for me!
Then, I ended all my streams with playing more Bowser's Fury! We are making such good progress. I really need to get my joy cons fixed...
You can rewatch my streams here!
Stephen solely worked on Sailor Britney all week! We are almost done. Should we make this is a print in Silver Crystal Shop?
Also look at this amazing green screen work Stephen did this week. It's so perfect!
You can rewatch Stephen's Art Streams here!
That's it for the past streams this week. See you again soon!
]]>On Wednesday we did something totally different on my gaming stream. We unboxed 10 packs of Pokemon cards and gave away and Elite Trainer Box! It was SO FUN. Y'all were so nice to me for not knowing everything about Pokemon too. I only know Gen 1 and a bit of Gen 2. Thanks for not being gatekeeper-y. We got some rad cards from holographic to reverse holo to a few others.
You can rewatch the stream here.
On Thursday, Stephen finished up his Noelle drawing from Black Clover. It seriously came out so incredible! I love this new art style he tried out - it is so light and magical looking.
You can rewatch the entire stream here.
And that brings us to BizBaz @ Home TOMORROW. Y'all better be at our virtual convention. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow! It's gonna be an amazing day.
]]>On Saturday I took part in my first stream since my dental surgery and I missed y'all so much! I had a blast. One of our vendors for BizBaz @ Home on Saturday - Daymare - donated...
]]>On Saturday I took part in my first stream since my dental surgery and I missed y'all so much! I had a blast. One of our vendors for BizBaz @ Home on Saturday - Daymare - donated a mini ita bag keychain to host a giveaway with so one of you won a huge raffle basket in honor of BizBaz @ Home happening this upcoming Saturday! Congrats!
Next I showed off some Moonie hauls I've gotten recently. The first is a beautiful manga of Sailor Moon from our neighbors here in San Diego - Now or Never Comics! We finally had a minute to go over and properly introduce ourselves so we got to hang with the owner, Aaron, for a bit. We are both East Coast buddies! What a small world. I'll definitely be visiting a TON because he has so many dope things over there!
Next up in the Moonie haul is a gift from my wonderful fiance, Stephen! He got me this custom Sailor Mercury deck from one of the best artists out there - Carly Kawaii! He made sure the background was my 2 fave colors: blue & purple and that my fave accessory of Mercury was included - her goggles!
Finally, we finished the last half of the stream getting so much further in Bowser's Fury! thank you for your bravery and encouragement as I played. We beat the first level!
Stephen did Moonie Monday on...Monday and started a new magical drawing. He finally caved y'all and did Sailor Britney! She's looking great so far:
You can see the entire stream here! It was so fun.
Our next stream is Wednesday and I'll be hosting ANOTHER epic giveaway to pump y'all up for Saturday's BizBaz @ Home. You'll need to tune in at 7 PM PST to see what it is! Pokemon fans will not want to miss out.
]]>On a happier note, I'm feeling way better and my headaches seem to have gone away. Thank you for your patience this week and for tuning into our two streams!

Saturday was sort of a doozey for me and I realize it set the tone for my week! I felt awful all day (chronic pain) and took a nap before my stream. I could barely wake up and then realized nothing was set up for my stream since we just updated my computer which means all of my OBS settings were cleared. -Sigh- I’m very glad I persevered though and did the stream because right when y'all started coming in the chat and hanging out…instant mood change! Thank you. I started the stream by showing off my latest Bright Bat patreon haul, a sneak peek to our new consignment artist, and some info for March's BizBaz @ Home.
Anyone else find it hilarious that I showed off our new consignment artist’s, Twinkle Toe Beans, “Sweet Tooth” pin set and then my own “Sweet Tooth” took me to the dentist on Monday?
The last half of the stream I I continued my Bowser’s Fury journey. This game is STRESSFUL with the timed battle! Y’all keep me brave though. I really enjoy this game so far and hope I can beat it on the stream if you are all into it too. The little cat ears everywhere just warm my heart.
Thank you for another fun stream!
Check out my full stream from Saturday here on our Twitch!
Our next stream wasn’t until THURSDAY *gasp* thanks to my lil emergency. Stephen finished up his Demon Slayer drawing and holy wow that background is so ALIVE. I had a blast watching Stephen draw this and chatting with you all night.
Check out Stephen’s full live drawing from Thursday here on our Twitch!
I can’t wait to stream again tomorrow! I’ll be doing a special giveaway to help promote BizBaz @ Home. You better be there!
]]>On Saturday, I kicked off a new game for my game streams: Bowser's Fury! It is SUPER fun and is a total open world. I get so anxious with the timed Bowser attacks, but ya'll keep me brave. Also...THE KITTY EARS?! It's pretty dope so far.
I also had some hauls to show off on my Saturday stream like a cool new shirt from Stephen, some frog Adventure Dolls, and more! Check out the recap here on our Twitch if you missed out.
On Sunday we did a special stream with our friend Bright Bat! We hung out for a few hours while Stephen & Kylie drew. It was so fun and I hope to do more of these! Click here if you missed out and want to watch a recap.
We had to skip Moonie Mondays this week due to some personal obligations we had, sorry about that ya'll! Our next stream was an impromptu one on Wednesday where Stephen did some live drawing! I have been struggling this week with headaches so I couldn't do my gaming stream. This was so fun regardless though! Click here to watch a recap.
See you on our next stream! We stream almost everyday on our Twitch whether it's our online convention, drawing session, gaming session, or something else!
]]>Stephen kicked off our week with a Moonie Monday drawing stream. He whipped up two more of our pin designs in our Moonie Skate series: Mercury and Jupiter. Those are now available for pre-order and he'll finish the entire series on his next Moonie Monday stream!
Then, I continued Katamari and faced a pretty impossible level. I failed three times! I need to practice more. I have no idea how I'll beat this level, but I will keep trying. I also did a BizBaz @ Home giveaway since that is on Saturday. Oh...and I had a mini High School reunion with an old friend in the chat! It was amazing.
We now have emotes by the way which is another awesome stride in our Twitch journey. Ya'll were going hard with our rainbow BizBaz emote! I'm so glad you are loving them! I can't wait to keep unlocking more slots so we can keep adding more cute emotes.
Our next stream is TONIGHT and Stephen will be doing another live drawing session. I hope you'll come hang out!
]]>His first stream was piggybacking off of the latest game I have been streaming on *my* Twitch streams: Katamari Demacy Reroll! Stephen put a BizBaz twist on it though and had the chat pick all of the colors/elements for the design. It was so fun to hang out and watch this design come to life. Here is the final result:
Now, Stephen was planning to start doing two streams a week starting NEXT week...but my chronic pain snuck up on me and knocked me out for 3 days! One of those days was on my Wednesday stream. I thought I'd have to cancel it, which was devastating to think about....but then Prince Stephen rode in on his Apple Pencil stallion and saved the day! He volunteered to do an impromptu second live drawing session with barely any time to prepare! What a guy. Seriously.
He quickly fabricated the idea to do a BizBaz x Mario Mashup:
This stream was even more fun than on Monday and I can't believe how incredible of a turnout we had too with the last minute change in schedule. Thank you to everyone who hung out and helped Stephen pick the colors/elements of this drawing too!
We also are officially Twitch affiliates so this was our first stream with the new title. Ya'll showed UP and subscribed to us! I think we are at close to 10 subscribers now which is wild. Here is the final result of BizBario:
So, here we are with a full on Twitch schedule - like real #influencers and #streamers. I hope you'll come hang with us every week! Here is our schedule for right now:
