HEY LEMON8 🍋

Hey Lemon8 fam! So glad you stopped by my little corner of the internet. As I mentioned, I’m Erica, and I’m super excited to embark on this new journey here. For those curious, I’m 24 years young, hailing from the vibrant city of Chicago, and by day, I navigate the exciting world of advertising. I also have a younger sister who keeps life interesting! When I'm not working, you'll probably find me diving deep into an anime series. Seriously, I'm obsessed! My top three picks right now are *One Piece*, *Demon Slayer*, and *Noragami*. There’s just something about the epic storytelling and incredible animation that completely hooks me. I could talk for hours about my favorite arcs and characters – if you're a fellow fan, let me know your faves! Music is another huge part of my life. There’s nothing quite like the energy of a live concert. I absolutely love catching my favorite artists perform; it's an experience that always puts a huge smile on my face. I'm already looking forward to seeing The Wrecks and Dua Lipa soon – can't wait to sing along at the top of my lungs! If you're a fellow concert-goer, let me know who you're excited to see next! And speaking of obsessions, who else is a massive Harry Potter fan? I grew up with the books and movies, and visiting places like the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child theater in Chicago always brings back so much magic. I’ve definitely taken all the quizzes, and let's just say my house patronus is something I proudly identify with! It’s such a comfort read/watch, and I love discussing theories and favorite spells. Then there’s Disney! My heart belongs to all things magical. Wearing my Minnie Mouse ears and soaking in the atmosphere is pure bliss. My favorite movie is hands-down Tangled – Rapunzel's spirit is just infectious. As for parks, Epcot holds a special place, especially during the festivals. And if you ever find yourself at a Disney park with me, prepare to ride Guardians of the Galaxy – Cosmic Rewind multiple times; it’s my absolute favorite ride! The music, the thrills… it's just perfect. Beyond the big fandoms, I have a soft spot for collecting cute and quirky things. You might spot me with a Baggu bag (or ten!), admiring my Jellycats plushies, or adding to my ever-growing collection of *Funko Pops*. There’s just something satisfying about finding the perfect new addition to my shelves. I'm always on the lookout for unique bags too – they're a fun way to express my style and carry all my treasures! So there you have it, a little more about me, Erica! I’m genuinely excited to connect with you all, share more of my favorite things, and discover new inspirations here on Lemon8. Don't be shy, say hi in the comments! What are some of your favorite things that make you happy?
