I'm Spoiled! | Pressies from Canada |

A couple of weeks ago, I met my friend and former RP Taichou for the second time this year, he came over with his cousin and we were able to celebrate his birthday together. 

Since he's a dragon lover, I took him to this Dragon expo that, luckily was happening during his stay as a way to celebrate his b-day. The expo wasn't too big but, it was pretty cool and he loved it. Everything was dragon themed, even the gifts we gave him.

This guy here was the highlight of the expo, especially because of Hyorinmaru. (iykyk)

Their visit wasn't too long and we couldn't hang out as much as we wanted because of life and work but it was definitely fun. I hope we can repeat it again soon.
And well, as last time, he brought some pressies. Of course he didn't have to but, I am obssessed so, I wanted to share them around here cuz the guy knows how to keep his lieutenant happy, hehe. Let's do this!

I tried Tim Hortons thanks to him (we don't have it in my city) and loved it ever since so, he brought some vanilla capuccino, on of my favs. So good!

Continuing with the yummies, he gave me some seasonal pastires and cookies from Little Debbie as well as some Canadian cookies. You know how much I love pumpkin stuff and I'm so happy I can continue eating them. I already tried them all and, they are all delish but my favs have to be the Pumpkin Delights.

He also got me a box of Cheetos Mac 'N Cheese, I haven't made them yet but, I'm looking forward to trying them. I think it'll be fun!

So, in my country we got the Fanta Chucky's Punch but the can wasn't this cool, it didn't have Chucky on it and it was smaller, I still got it tho. But I was sooooo happy to receive this one which is way better. I haven't tried it yet, I'm sure the taste will be the same as the one I tried before but, this can is defo becoming a part of my collection.

Not for me, but still food related we have some Churu Bisque for my babies! I love it when my babies receive pressies too. Masha is a fan now.

He also got me a Beetlejuice blind box. I would've been happy with any figure really, cuz I love this movie way too much. I got Lydia wearing the red wedding dress. 

And, I saved the best for last. I mean, not the best best cuz I liked everything but, you know. Now I have a Buffy the Vampire Slayer stationery set. It is perfect! I think I'll get into it a little more in another post because I'm in love with it.

I just love how thoughtful and personal these presents were because, he really pays attention to details, even when he sends me bday pressies. It's the sweetest, this lieutenant is spoiled.
The pressies don't end here tho, I just wanted to kinda divide the gifts cuz his cousin also brought some things, honestly I wasn't expecting him to bring anything. Mainly because it had been the longest time since we last talked and, it was our first time meeting in person. Yet, he did and, then again, this girl is obsessed.

Meet Draco, my new baby boy. How cute is he? He's so round and soft, I can't! He is from the Snackles ZURU Halloween Series, honestly, it's my first time seeing them. I googled them and they are all adorable! The fact that we both are Gemini and share the same birthday made me SO happy. It's a little extra I didn't see coming. Of course he's not going to be a part of my Halloween decoration, he's staying all year round.

Bleach was the thing that brought us together years ago so, these ones are special. Shuhei is one of my main (many) crushes from the show, he's so hot. I'm super excited to read this book! It'll be my next read after I finish what I'm currently reading. And then we have the keychain that came in a blind bag. ♡ 

He bought 4 bags, one for each of us to open together. They both got Ichigo, my sister got Orihime and I got Rukia so, we exchanged them. Orihime is one of my fav female characters and she loves Rukia so, in a way, we were very lucky! They are all so cute tho.

I also received a Canada sweatshirt that I clearly haven't ironed, hehe.

And lastly, we have a cute maple leaf pin that is now with my pin mini collection on my dad's old denim jacket. ♡

And, that'll be the end of this big pressies haul that felt like an early Christmas. All these gifts were super unnecessary but they made this girl happy, hehe. Forever thankful with these loves, hope to see them again real soon.

I'll 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~!💀

Halloween Haul 2025 ⚰️

I know I've been sharing spooky hauls in the past few months but, they were not really Halloween hauls. Today we have a collective haul with actual Halloween items. I know some things from the spooky hauls could be considered Halloween stuff for some but I decided to share here the things I got that were part of Halloween merch in stores or super in-your-face Halloween goodies.

OK! Let's get started!

I'm gonna start with the oldest item. I found this Snoopy book at a garage sale. It's actually a Mc Donald's book and even tho it comes with stories from other holidays as well, I mainly got it because of the Great Pumpkin and the Halloween part. I think The Great Pumpkin is a Halloween classic so, I had to include it here.

A sneak peek of what it looks like inside.

These Halloween scrunchies are from Temu. They came in a set of 8 (I think) but I only kept 3, the others are going to be part of my Halloween pressies this year. They all have a different design and color. I think they are a perfect way to add a Halloween touch without being too obvious. 

Closer look to the designs. I love them!

Witch hat straw top thingy. A few months ago I got a bat one and I love them. I think it's a fun wat to decotare your drinks, hehe. This one came in a set too, and it's also from Temu.


Halloween Pimple Patches! Do I need them? Probably not but, I couldn't resist, they are way too cute! 
They are from (surprise, surprise) Temu too. They had other brands and designs to choose from.

Moving on to Walmart, I got this Oogie Boogie jar from their Nightmare Before Christmas collection this year. I think it was the first thing I got when they started releasing some early Halloween. Right now, it is on my coffee station, I decided to keep some sugar on it for now.

I rarely choose Oogie Boogie stuff but I decided to go for it this year to have something different. They also Had a Jack one that was orange, I kinda wanted to get it too.

I also found this Rae Dunn canister at Walmart. I wanted one of these for a while now so I was very happy when I saw it. I wish it had a different phrase so I could keep it all year cuz Trick or Treat is super Halloweeny. Oh well. I think this could work as a cookie jar but I kept some tea bags in it.

Back to Temu, I got Halloween mascara! It might not be the best brand ever but, presentation is cute, I can use it in other seasons too and honestly, it does the job. They had other fantasy colors for costumes and stuff, I got this one cuz I wanna wear it as normal, everyday mascara.

So not necessary but, I got another Halloween plate. Loved the color combination, the fact that it was witchy and, of course, the bats. Plus, it's huge!

This wooden sign is so fun! I mainly wanted it to decorate my coffee station this year but I also think it'd look great on a bar or the kitchen.

I see this set of 4 place mats every year and I never get them, so this year I decided to go for it, the match a table cloth I got last year and if you don't use them on the table, they can add a spooky something to any other surface.

I got ghost cups for my small "Welcoming Fall" reunion with my family and, of course, I had to keep one. They are super cute, translucent and have a pretty good size for coffee. We were all in love with them. 

I love these socks to wear around the house. I have many but, I've never had Halloween ones. I just had to. They are from Temu and they had like 2 or 3 other designs. Of course I choose bats. 

I'm obsessed with the back tho, the rubbery part they usually have is a haunted house! I don't know if the picture shows it that much but, the details!

And just when I thought I was done with my halloween shopping I found this. My most unnecessary purchase so far. It's an inflatable coffin! I think it'd perfect and super fun for a pool, which I don't have (lol) and it can be also used as a cooler. I have to find a good way to use it. But, I have no regrets.

I mean, isn't it cool?

I swear everytime I say I will stop, another thing catches my eye when I go out. I ended up getting this cauldron wax melter. I wanted to get one anyway and this one is cuter than others I've seen. It is also something I will leave out all year.

And I think I'm gonna end this post here cuz I keep adding and adding things and I don't want it to be a super duper long one. Will that stop me from buying more? Probs not, but I can always share another one later, haha.

See you next time~!⚰️
