woke up and someone spilled vanilla extract all over my dash, so as punishment you strange little beasties are getting all the VANILLA FACTS i know:

vanilla is the 2nd most expensive spice in the world (2nd to saffron)

which is why more than 99% of what we call "vanilla extract" is actually vanillin (vanilla's dominant flavor compound) and is not extracted from real vanilla.

luckily, even professionals struggle to tell the difference when it comes to things like baked goods. but there is a distinct difference in non-heat treated products like vanilla ice cream. real vanilla has a more complex, individualized flavor profile.

why is vanilla so expensive? because it is a ridiculously delicate & demanding crop. complete primadonna.

vanilla beans come from vanilla orchids. these crazy flowers bloom for A SINGLE DAY and have to be HAND-POLLINATED in a process that is exhausting, delicate, and requires specialist knowledge passed down over generations.

then, if you're lucky, you get vanilla beans.

which then require months of further specialized treatment.

the entire process takes about a year and can go wrong at any stage

vanilla has been cultivated for over 800 years (possibly much longer). the first known cultivators are the Totonac, an indigenous people of Mexico.

the Aztecs used it as a sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of cocoa. it was popular in a drink called xocolatl--the precursor to modern hot chocolate!

it is only pollinated by a very specific orchid bee!!!

which is why no fruit could be grown outside of Mexico until the 1800s

Edmond Albius, born into slavery, invented the pollination method we still use today--launching a global industry when he was just 12 years old.

today, the majority of the world's vanilla is grown in Madagascar

if you want real vanilla, read the labels carefully--it's harder to find than you think!

in conclusion, those tiny black specks you see in fancy vanilla ice cream? those are vanilla bean seeds! itty bitty orchid seeds!!! they are delicious and also a PRISSY BITCH!

thinking about how when toji first meets you, he quickly decides he just has to have you. you're so timid and sweet— just his type.

he has to give you credit though, because you make it hard work for him, but he's relentless perseverant and eventually gets you into his bed.

and he's surprised to find that you're a completely different person between the sheets.

you're grabbing him by the face roughly and spitting into his mouth while you fuck yourself down onto his cock.

you're telling him he's pathetic, that he's not even a good fuck (the way your pussy clenches around him tells him you're lying).

and he's so confused because while this has never really been his thing, he's so fucking hard it hurts.

"wanna smack your pretty face, that okay?"

you ask so sweetly that he can't help but nod before he even has a chance to consider what he's agreeing to.

when your palm meets his cheek and leaves his skin tinted pink, he's so embarrassed that his hips buck up and he comes much sooner than he'd have liked.

"aw. you liked it that much, baby?" you coo at him. "maybe i'll keep you around after all. how's that sound, hm?"

Our newest collection, "Bittersweet Spring Aroma", is live now!

↓ Long post with all the designs below↓ 

"Hanami Day" [Jogger] [Midi] [Skater]

This design is inspired by the feeling of sakura viewing ("hanami") on a clear spring day! The background has a slight gradient from pastel to sky blue, with a cascade of pink flowers and petals on top.

"Flower Pop" [Skater] [Maxi]

This design was a total wildcard that seemingly came out of nowhere. (Possession by the spirit of the '60s?!) I was imagining an abstracted scene of sakura trees, flowers, and a spring breeze. It's one of the most vibrant and out there designs I've ever made!

"Neon Blossom" [Maxi] [Joggers] [Midi]

I love a solid black plus one vibrant color design. Things like this were my go-to style back in my Hot Top*c Mall Goth days. So ya know I had to make at least one sakura design with this aesthetic in mind.

"Petal" [Midi] [Skater]

I wanted to include a couple solids in this collection, so of course one needed to be a delicate cherry blossom pink. Makes me want sakura mochi...

"Matcha" [Maxi] [Midi]

You've gotta have slightly bitter, rich matcha to compliment all this sweet sakura! The second solid color for this collection is inspired by matcha tea, and I think it'd make a great neutral green to pair with lots of items in both spring and fall.

"Sakura Cake Soap" [Handmade Soap]

By @breadborks

Along the same sakura + matcha lines, here's the first of our collab items for this collection!! A soap that both looks & smells tasty enough to eat (but watch out!) Each soap will also come with an adorable matching sakura bunny sticker~

"Sakura Latte" [Midi] [Joggers]

I honestly couldn't get enough of this color palette, so I went for a colorblock type design inspired by layered sakura matcha lattes! If only I could have one right now~~

"BLOOM Green Tea" + "Angel Aura Quartz Tea Strainers"

[Tea] [Tea Strainers]

By Night Rituals Occult (on IG)

With all the tea & floral themes in this collection, I knew I wanted to be able to feature an actual floral tea!! (Plus I just LOVE tea, I have 2 cabinets in my kitchen just for tea)

"Uzuki" [Maxi] [Joggers]

The sketch for this design (last pic) was done allll the way back in like February of last year, and it's the idea that ultimately spawned this whole collection. I'm so excited to finally be able to bring it to life.

"The Unwatered - Cherry Blossom Succulent Candle"

[Handmade Candle]

By &Ivy (on Twitter and IG)

These gorgeous custom terrarium candles were were beautifully crafted with colors inspired by sakura season & infused with a bright, floral cherry blossom aroma. Another perfect collab compliment to the collection!

"Hanami Night" [Joggers] [Midi] [Skater]

A night sakura viewing inspired design to end things off!! Everything is live now, so be sure to go check it all out while most items are still available! See you there~
