Naps Before Noon

Hi, my name is Eliza. 👋It is great to e-meet you.  It has been a 6 years since my last post (though this blog was never intended to be updated consistently).  In 2019 my best friend "sy" and I decided to start this blog together- at the time, we wanted it to be completely anonymous.  In 2025, I ,"es", to "essy", Eliza, have fully taken over the blog.

No matter if it was a concert in our home town or a concert we got to travel to, we had a lovely and leisurely time doing it.  Love, Essy    (Click the name to be redirected to the artist’s YouTube page.
