Fangirl Chit Chat: My James Marsters Signed Pic ❤


If you know me, you know I am a big fangirl, and when I'm obsessed with something, I do it hard. 
I've shared it around here before, when I was younger, I was a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, it was one of my favorite shows and I still love it to this day. I rewatch it and obsess over it and over again. 

And of course I had a big crush on Spike (aka James Marsters), the sexiest vamp ever. He'd be my ideal man (I know he was a little toxic but, he changed~). And that crush never died, I think he's one of those crushes that just stay in my life. I love James, his acting, his laugh, his music; I could listen to him talk for hours!

Back in June, I was watching a livestream on his IG in which he was signing photos with personalized messages and, I discovered I could get one too. And after thinking about it for a little while watching the livestream, I decided to go for it and get one for myself.

This thing is not new tho, it has been going on for a while on Streamily, same as with Cameo (which I was also tempted to get this year and I might do it next year, hehe), it just took me forever to find out, haha. Honestly I never spend money on something like this but I know this is the closest I'll ever be to James so a part of me is convinced it was worth it. 

I placed my order back in late June, everything was online and super easy. I chose the pic I wanted and you could even choose what you wanted him to write on it, I left it open to whatever he wanted really. You could add a frame to come with it and even a certificate thingy. I didn't get any of those because well, it wasn't exactly cheap. All I really wanted was his pic, his message and the idea of knowing I existed in his life at the moment of signing it. LOL. I think there's also the option to have your pic signed during conventions or other live streams but, that'd take even longer.

Even tho they kept me updated and James signed it like a week after placing my order, it took forever to ship and arrive. I was starting to get super impatient but in October 10th it finally arrived. I had some issues with the shipping company here in my country (and that's a whole different story 🙄) but, I finally got my baby. ❤ I didn't like the waiting but it was kinda cool it arrived on my favorite month.

What can I say? It is perfect! I am absolutely obsessed, especially becuse it has "Mon" on it, written by him. He wrote one of my favorite Spike quotes and... I just love everything about it. I will have it on display in my house forever and ever.

And well, this is a bit of a random, story time post but, the fangirl in me just had to share this in here. I'm obsessed, I die, no regrets. Hehe.

I'll see you next time~!💋

Bausse | Jelly Crayon + Blush |

Now that the Halloween season is over, let's talk about makeup for a change. Last month, my mom gave me this fun jelly crayon from the brand Bausse Cosmetics. I'm new to the brand but, according to the internet, it's a mexican brand that makes cosmetics and accessories.

This is a 2 in 1 product, and I love that. It can be used as a blush stick and a lip tint. It claims to have a long-lasting and vibrant finish. 

They have 4 different shades, I have #01, which is a red blush. It is a fun product to use because it has a jelly-like texture and when you apply it, it feels kinda wet without being wet(?). It's... interesting. 



These are the other shades they have.
How cute is this ad tho?

I've used it mostly as a blush applying 2 or 3 dots on my cheeks and blending it with my finger. It might look too red at the beginning but it doesn't look like that once you blend it. It dries kinda fast tho, so you gotta work it it as soon as you apply it to avoid having the circle marks on your cheeks.


I rarely wear lip tints tho, I gave up on them. They never look pretty on my forever dry lips, and even if I apply a lipbalm or gloss on top, it sets on the lines. But when you apply it on your lips, it feels exactly like a lip tint, it has this watery feeling and dries like one too.


This is a fun, lightweight product to use. I think it'd be perfect for Summer, there's something refreshing about it (Idk if that makes any sense tho). I especially like it as a blush and I'd defo like to try the other shades they have. 

See you next time~!💋

Halloween Pressies 2025 🧙🏻‍♀️

A part of me is still holding on to spooky season, it's still Fall so I think I'm allowed to do it until December arrives, lol. October went by so, so fast but I think I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't do some of the things I do other years but, it felt full of fun activities, places, seasonal food and lots of movies.

 You know Halloween is pretty much like Christmas to me so yeah, we have a pressies post because I gave and recievied some. Plus y'all know I just love to make these posts so, let's just do this!

This was the first pressie I received this year earlier in the month. Sometimes we like to do this things just to celebrate the season. My sister got me the BTVS Tarot Cards and, they are prefect! I want to learn how to read Tarot so, I can't see a better way todo it than with Buffy cards. I might share them more in detail in a future post.

I spy vamps! These goodies were from my mom.

These three items are from the same collection. A Vamp tin, plate and a tumbler. I'm obsessed and I know these will be used all year round, not just in October. The tumbler glows in the dark.

The Dracula book is a kids book, the cutest! We also have a "Vampire venom" container and some yummies that are far gone now, hehe.

The book comes with stickers and a mask.

My spooky mugs & cups collection is slowly growing again and I couldn't be happier! How cute is this ghost one tho? I love how neutral but in your face Halloween it is. (does it make any sense?). It doesn't look too big on camera but, it has a great size for my morning coffee.

My pressies came in the Nightmare Before Christmas Sally bag. It's a reusable bag and, I love Sally. We also have a "boo" sign that decorated my coffee station as soon as I received it and a Day of the Dead candle that I used on the altar for my pets this year.

Lastly, we have a tee! This is defo something I can wear all year round. There's something witchy and magical about it that I just love.
                                             
These two were from my sister. I don't think it shows that much but both, the bag and the box, have spiders on them.

In the black box was this Halloween sweater. I am in love with it, it's spooky and cute at the same time and, it's my first Halloween sweater.

Decorating the bag and the box were these babies, a black cat and a bat. They will be hanging from my bags not only during Halloween season but, all year round. 

The next things I'm gonna show you came in the box. I'll start with these pumpkin, knitted coasters. They are so pretty! I had them on my wishlist for a while and I'm so happy I received them as pressies. 

Halloween Reese's & Kisses in the cutests little pouches.

My first pair of Halloween sleepers ever! They are super soft and warm. I love them!

From left to right: Halloween wish bracelet whch is the cutest thing ever, bat bottle opener and a coffee wooden sign that will go on my coffee station all year.

Closer look to the wish bracelet 🦇
These next ones were not part of my sister's pressies, they came later. 
 
Gremlins tee! I didn't have one and this year, I started getting more horror/movies tees. This one is really cute with a flirtly looking Gizmo on it.

During wine nights we also gave some seasonal or themed goodies, like this cute kitchen towel and witch hat cookie.

This adorable knitted ghost was a gift from one of my coworkers/student. It was a very surprising and thoughtful pressie. She also included the 3 skull lollies in the gift.

One of my friends gave me some Halloween stickers. I especially loved the vintage looking ones.

Candy corn hair clip, I get lots of compliments when I wear it. It is so cute!

If you read my last post, I showed you some of the Little Universal Monsters things I bought but, I also received some as pressies. This Frankie & bride water bottle is adorable! I love how this year I got new monsters tumblers and bottles to use all year round. 

And continuing with the Little Monsters, we have a Dracula glass. I love what it says, it's just funny and cute at the same time.

And those are the pressies I received this year. It always feels like Christmas but better, haha. I feel like this year I celebrated the season a lot more than last year.
Of course I also put some Boo baskets and pressies together this year, is one of my favorite things to do!

These were for my mom and my sister, I kept my mom's witchy and my sister's Halloweeney. I included pj's, some themed drinks, snacks, candy and other goodies.

These cauldrons were for my friends. I filled them with Halloween scrunchies, straw tops and pimple patches. They were small but I think they turned out really cute.

And, I think with this post we close the Halloween season around here. Boo! I really hope you all had a fun Halloween and a great spooky season. I know it's pretty much Christmas everywhere by now but, I'm just not ready for it yet.

See you next time~!💋

Halloween Haul 2025 #2⚰️


 We have one last Halloween haul this year of the things I didn't include on my previous one. These are random things I got throughout the month and I didn't want to save them for next year. I also got a couple of things on clearance. It wasn't much and nothing too exciting cuz everything was super picked over when I went. Maybe next year~

First I got these bat paper straws from Joi. I don't really use straws that often but I think it'd be cute to use them throughout the year to add a spooky touch to drinks and stuff. The package comes with 25 straws. 

This earring display has to be one of my favorite things ever. I got it to display and organize my Halloween earrings cuz I had them in this random container. They deserved some love. 
It is from Temu, they had other cute designs too.

I think this is the first time I buy an animal skelleton and, surprise surprise, it's not a cat! Hehe. This baby is still out in my living room even now that I took down my Halloween decor, I think I might keep it all year round. It is also from Joi.

Getting these bloody gloves was my mom's idea. She said it'd be fun for me to wear them when I drive to protect my hands and part of my arms from the sun. She know me well, haha. These are from Waldo's Mart. I have to say, even tho they fit, they are a little tight.

Fun bat napkins, I feel like I can use these before next Halloween.

I didn't need this but, it is so cool! I got a small vampire cape thing for wine bottles. I am obsessed and I need more! I found it on Temu

These next things are the ones I got on clearance at Walmart. Like I mentioned before, everything was super picked over and I couldn't find any decor anymore...

I really liked theUniversal Studios Little Monsters collection this year so, I got a couple of Dracula goodies. The first one is a melamine bowl thingy that would be great for snacks, then we have this ceramic trinket dish, that has to be my favorite thing out of them. It is so cute! I'm gonna keep it in my room, all year round. Last one is another melamine plate. SO CUTE! I got some with other monsters for my mom too.

I also got ghosty serial lights. The ghosts are very small and it's not a long one but, I want it for the coffee station next year so I think it'll be ok.

I wanted this bloody tumbler since I saw it but I'm glad I waited because I got it for half price. I would've loved if they had another color for the tumbler and just keep the blood part red so it could stand out a little bit more but, I still love it. They also had a slime green one, similar to the one Starbucks had before. I got one for my sister too.

I didn't have halloween glasses so this was my chance! I 'm not a big green fan but, they didn't have enough purple glasses. Still think it works. Can you believe I didn't get the one pink skull they had?


Last thing I got is this Nightmare Before Christmas tin thingy. It has 3 divisions so it's perfect to store different small things.

I have some tea in it for now, maybe I'll change it in the future. Idk.

And, that will be it for my Halloween shopping this year. The month went by way too fast and I was so not ready to let go of it, hehe. 
We still have 1 more Halloween post and with that, we will officially close the season. 

See you next time~!💋

Day of the Dead Haul 💀

 I think it is the first time I make a Day of the Dead haul. That's because other than pan de muerto and some candy at the Alfeñique Fair, I rarely buy stuff related to this date. Which is weird cuz I actually do like this holiday, I just don't decorate for it.

This year, between some presents and a few things I bought, I managed to put a small haul and decided to share it here because, it's new! Haha.

I'm going to start with a pressie. My mom gave me this Pan de Muerto candle that smells like chocolate, it's delish! And even tho it's a small candle, the smell fills up my room. I just love it.

This was a bit of a random purchase. Dia de Muertos toilet paper. The presentation was too cute to resist. Sadly, the paper itself doesn't have anything themed or different.

Here are the things I got at the Alfeñique Fair, sweets, sweets, sweets! LOL.

This skull cookies have a name but, I can't remember it right now. Anyway, I usually get these every year. My dad used to get them and like them a lot.

Cherry nougat candy. I usually buy the traditional one but this year this one caught my eye and, it's defo worth it. SO delish!

I got many of these chocolate skulls filled with different things.

These mint marshmallows were from a smaller Alfeñique fair I went to. They have grounded coffee beans. So, so good. 

There's nothing too exciting about this special edition rotini but, it's orange and it's Day of the Dead so, I had to get it. Hehe.

Lastly we have wax melts. I got a wax melter last month and I finally got some wax to melt there. I wanted pumpkin or Halloween  wax but, I couldn't find them anymore so, sugar skull it is. It smells nice, it's sweet. These were on sale at Walmart.

And, that's everything guys! My first Day of the Dead haul ever. I don't even know if we'll have another one next year, we'll see. 
I still have some Halloween posts coming, I wanna share them before it's officially Christmas season. And, in a way, I'm still holding on to spooky season, haha.

See you next time~!💀
