Shows I watched in 2025

I've been focusing on movies so much lately that I forgot to share some of the shows I watched this year. Some of them feel kinda old now cuz I watched them at the beginning of the year. There's a bit of everything really and I'm not including the shows I'm currently rewatching but refuse to finish yet. Plus, I'm sure there are other shows missing because I can't remember them right now~ Oh well.

Most of these shows are from Netflix.

Cassandra

"A family moves into the oldest smart home in Germany, decades after the original owner dies; the AI household helper awakens, and is resolved to never be alone again."

Cassandra is a German sci-fi and suspense show that was released earlier this year. I think it was back in February. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi but a student recommended it and I decided to give it a chance. 

It is a very short show with only 6 episodes but, it is really good! I found it a little creepy because of the whole AI thing but it's also a little sad and it keeps you wanting to watch more and more. 

Cabinet of Curiosities

"An anthology of sinister stories told by revered horror creators."

"Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities is a horror anthology with eight tales of terror, featuring ominous, chilling, and supernatural elements."

I remember one of my closest friends recommended this show years ago but I guess I was just not in the mood for it when I started watching it cuz, after one episode, I just stopped watching it. This year it was recommended again and I went for it. Yes, the first episode wasn't my favorite but, I started loving it as I watched the other episodes.

It is a horror and dark fantasy show from 2022 with 8 episodes. Each episode shares a different story.

I especially enjoy these type of shows because even if one of the stories doesn't feel too interesting, the next one is completely different so, it doesn't feel boring. I watched it earlier this year but I think it'd be perfect to watch during Oct - Nov.

Goedam

"Goedam is a horror anthology series where shadows and spirits come alive, centered on urban legends, with chilling, scary, and supernatural elements."

I love Asian urban legends, that's why I knew I had to watch this one as soon as it showed in my recommendations. It is a horror, mystery show that tells 8 different short Korean urban legends. The episodes are less than 20 minutes long each so, I watched them in one night. It was very entertaining.

Haunted Hotel

"After inheriting a hotel from her late brother, a single mom moves in with his good-natured ghost and high-maintenance guest who never checks out."

This one is an American adult animated show. It is like a supernatural sitcom that premiered in September this year. I loved, loved, loved this show! I feel like the way for me to enjoy comedy is through cartoons. Plus I loved the supernatural side of the show.

Moving on, we have some documentaries. Yes, I like them when they are true crime or paranormal ones. 

American Murder Gabby Petito 

"A young couple's cross-country van journey, documented on social media, ends in tragedy when domestic violence shatters their seemingly perfect life; their story sparks a nationwide investigation and raises questions about family loyalty."

This is very short docuseries, it only has 3 episodes that cover Gabby Petito's murder. I was already familiar with this case and was curious to see if this docuserie would give new or extra information but, it didn't. It was still intereseting tho.

Unknown Number: The Middle School Catfish

"A mother harassed her 13-year-old daughter and the daughter's boyfriend through anonymous text messages. Though the victims were in middle school at the time the attacks began, the widely covered true story was the subject of the 2025 Netflix documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish."

This one is kinda new and it was really good too. I do love murder cases but, I also enjoy a good catfish case. It's crazy to think a mom could do the things this one did. Defo recommend it.

True Haunting

"Through immersive reenactments and interviews, detailing paranormal encounters from the viewpoint of those who lived them."

This 5 episode show tells two different stories of people who had paranormal encounters. There's something I really like about these type of shows. They kinda take me back to when I used to watch A Haunting on Discovery channel but, with better acting.

And now, something completely different to close this post, two Halloween baking shows. I did watch these in October in between Halloween and horror movies.

Halloween Wars season 14

I watched this one on YouTube so, it might not be the latest season, idk. I remember watching another season years ago and I really liked it. It's basically a baking competition but, Halloween edition. There's something super entertaining about seeing people cook in general and, it's cool to see things I know I'd never be able to make, hehe.

Is it cake? Halloween

Pretty similar to the previous one, is a baking competiton but the things they make is in another level. Like, wow. This one was shorter (4 episodes I think) and it's on Netflix. 

And, that's that! Some of the shows I watched this year. I think I'll make one more movies/shows post next month and with that we'll close the recommendations posts. As always, let me know if you have watched some of these or if you would like to. 

I'll see you next time~! 💋

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Tarot Cards

I don't think I've mentioned this around here but, I've always wanted to learn how to read tarot cards, I just love those things. Last month, my sister gave me the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Card mini deck as part of my Halloween pressies. 

If you know me, you know I love BTVS, I've been a big fan for years. Growing up, my sister, my cousins and I would obsess over the show and the characters, play pretending to be the characters and knew the songs and dialogues by heart. I think I have other posts talking a little bit more about it. I love everything witchy, so having this deck is just perfect. Plus it was my sign to finally start learning more about tarot.

This tarot deck was released back in 2023 as a part of the 25th anniversary of the show, it comes with 78 different cards with exclusive art by Karl James Mountford. All of these cards represent the normal tarot cards (major and minor arcana) but with some of the main characters and moments from the show. 

It also comes with a guide book written by Casey Gilly that introduces you to the book (this intro is super fun to read if you're a Buffy fan btw), the cards and explains the meaning of each of them. .

Since I'm still learning how to read them and stuff, I'm just gonna talk about the cards, the art and show you some of my favorite ones. Everything about it is really pretty, from the colors on the box, the picture of Buffy on it, to the illustrations on the cards. Plus I love the fact that the characters kinda match with their card. Going through them brings back memories from some episodes throughout the seasons too, so nostalgic!!

So, let's check some of my favorite cards (because of the art, not cuz of the meanings)~

The Emperor, the lovers (which is just perfection), the hanged man (my love), chalices and the sun.

Can't leave the Scoobies behind ❤

Some cards for throwbacks...

I could show you all the cards cuz, they are all worth sharing but, this would become a suuuuuper long post. I'm not sharing them but other important characters have their cards too. 

This is a bit of a random post but I really, really wanted to share this deck in here, is too pretty not to. Anyway, let me know if you'd like me to share a little more about this once I learn how to properly read them or if you'd like to see the other cards, I could make a separate post to show you all the cards.

I'll see you next time~!💋

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~!💋
