Current Nail Polish~ 💜

Let's talk about what's currently on my nails for a bit cuz, I feel like these nail polish posts are becoming less and less frequent around here. I used to love blogging about my newest additions and stuff but, I just don't buy many anymore cuz, I have a lot!

I don't know if you guys remember the 24 Days of Christmas Pressies post, I showed you 2 new nail polishes I received and well, they are too cute not to show again!

I finally decided to try this one, I already wore the pink one twice but forgot to share around here. Maybe next time! This one is a lilac polish, the brand is called NHC Long Lasting and the color is #178. At first I thought the color would be very similar to the to the Lure Lavender Bloom or Chic Gray by CANMAKE  but this one is slightly darker and with a different finish. It actually dries a lot darker than what you see on the bottle, I still find it really nice and clean looking and it feels like a good transition color to go from Winter to Spring.

The smell is a little strong but it goes away as soon as it dries. Plus, it dries super fast! Thats is something I always appreciate, hehe.

Now, let's take a moment to appreciate how pretty the presentation is. Very simple, yet cute. The golden bow on the top makes it look super girly. It looks nice everywhere and could also make a cute decoration on a vanity.

Durability wise, I'd say it's like a regular nail polish, its lasts for a couple of days if you take care of it but, I don't mind retouching it every now and then.

And, that is that for what's on my nails. Hehe.

See you next time~! ♡

The Pet Tag: Sassy 🐾

Yesterday was National Cat Day so, I think this post is perfect! (It would've been better yeasterday but, still).

Years ago, I shared a Pet tag / furry friend tag (can't remember the exact name) about Tinks, Michee and Masha. As you know, last year another furry baby joined my family and I thought it was time for her to have her own tag. Even tho I haven't had her for that long, I lover her so much so, yeah. Here is Sassy's pet tag!

Let's start!

1. What is your pets name?

Sassy

2. How did you come up with the name?

I didn't. Her previous owner named her Sassy and since she's not a baby anymore, I didn't want to change it. She's already very used to it.

3. What breed is your pet?

I believe she's a Ragdoll. Not sure tho. (I'm not too familiar with cat breeds)

4. How long have you had your pet friend?

For almost a year now.

5. How did you get your pet?

Last year I started cat sitting her. It was going to be for a couple of months but, in the end, she ended up staying for good. There are a couple of blog posts dedicated to the whole cat sitting process and why I adopted her. I don't regret it tho, she is the sweetest.

6. What is your pets favorite thing to eat?

Dry cat food and treats. I can't get her to eat other things!! She tried tuna once tho.

7. What games does your pet love to play?

She's very playful in general. She loves to play fetch, she could do it for hours!

8. Is your pet a cuddle and chill kind of pet or a let go explore sort of pet?

I'd say a bit of both. She's a hunter for sure and she's very curious but, she also has a chill and cuddly side. Especially now with the cold weather, she likes to cuddle under the blankets with me.

9. What is your favorite memory with your pet?

I guess seeing how she started trusting me and becoming a confident cat around the house is a good memory. 

10. What are some quirky things about your pets personality?

Idk if this could be considered quirky but, she likes to drink water using her paw. It makes her look very lady like.

11. What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?

Well, they (Masha and Sassy) are my babies! So, they're very special and mean the world to me. We're connected! Hehe.

12. What are some of your favorite things to do with your pet?

I love to play with her but we also enjoy lazy and cozy afternoons where we can enjoy a movie or a show together. 

13. What nicknames do you call your pet?

Sass or Tatty

14. What tricks can your pet do?

I don't think there's an actual trick she does and I don't really teach my pets to do tricks but, she does many cute things and poses.

15. What is the funniest thing your pet has done?

I'd say some of her sleeping poses are the funniest. 

16. What is the boldest thing your pet has done?

It has to be how well she adapted to her new life. I know it was a big change for her, epseically having Masha around. I think she did very well! She's a brave girl.

17. What impresses you the most about your pet?

How she started defending herself from Masha. Masha is a spoiled bully (I'm not proud) but Sassy is not letting her bully her anymore. I'm so proud!

18. Is your pet house trained or an outside pet?

She's an indoor cat.

19. Where is your favorite place to bring your pet?

I don't really bring them anywhere. I wish I could tho. Car rides are just no fun for them.

20. What is the most rewarding thing about being a pet owner?

The unconditional love pets give you. Plus, there's never a lack of laughter.

And there you have it guys, a short questionnaire to get to know my classy baby a little more. Feel free to share facts about your furry babies too! I'd love to read!

CCP Bleach "Ichigo Zen" Tee

 Yeah guys, I had to go get another Bleach tee from Cuidado Con el Perro. Actually, it was one of the few designs left (at least for women) and it was for sale. It was a bargain!

This one is called "Ichigo Zen" and it's a round neck beige tee with a boxy fit and short sleeves. As my Shinigami tee, it has the logo in english at the top and it also says Bleach in Japanese in one side. 

It is 100% cotton and it's another licensed piece. The colors on this one are not as bright as the others, it has more of a pale color palette. Actually, some people in a Bleach facebook group mentined the hair color, which I didn't really pay much attention to before but yeah, it is way lighter than his actual orange hair but, I guess it is part of the color palette. I find it really nice even tho I don't think it is flattering on me. But I don't care, gotta wear my man's tee proudly. Hehehe...

I got a size small but again, it is a little oversized. All these tees came like that. 

I think this could be my last Bleace piece, at least from CCP cuz last time I went, they didn't have much left. Sadly I didn't get the chance to buy one with Orihime on it. Oh well~ But! they now have a Jujutsu Kaisen collection (for men) and, I can't wait to buy a few things I liked. So, stay tuned!

Sasuke Retsuden | My favorite SasuSaku moments 💖 |

I know many people don't like Sakura, or Sasuke and especially SasuSaku as a couple. But, I love them! And I thought since today is Valie's Day, it'd be perfect to talk about this because, it was just beautiful. This is going to be fangil Mon typing so, yeah. You've been warned. Hehe.

Last week I finished watching the Sasuke Retsuden episodes. I'm not caught up with Boruto and I haven't read the manga yet but, I just had to watch them. I'm always craving for cute SasuSaku moments and, I gotta say, it was defo worth it. We get to see their relationship more in depth.

In the anime the Sasuke Retsuden Arc is from ep. 282 to 286, we have 5 beautiful episodes that went by super fast. The story starts when Naruto gets really sick and could lose his life so, Sasuke decides to go on a mission to find a cure for the strange illness that threatened Naruto's health. Without him knowing, Sakura will join him in this mission later. That's my summary, haha. Don't wanna spoil things for you guys. (I probably will anyway~~~) And this is not supposed to be a review or something, I just wanna fangirl with you all. From now on, I think I'm gonna start rambling about all the things I loved in this Arc and the SasuSaku scenes more than the actual mission.

Honestly I loved to see them working together as a married couple (not that we haven't seen them before) and how he worries and takes care of Sakura in his own way. ♡♡♡ We know that Sasuke and Sakura have this kind of long distance marriage. She's always working in the village and taking care of Sarada and he's always out on missions. Sakura never knows when he'll be back and is constantly worrying and thinking about him. Sasuke, on the other hand, doesn't seem to worry much. And, idk, maybe it's just me but, I find their relationship sooooo cute and strong because even tho they are not always together, they just know they have each other. But, when Sasuke becomes a prisoner as part of the mission, he starts paying attention to the fact that he's never with his wife and there's nothing that shows people Sakura is married when he's not around. I don't know if he didn't know having rings was a thing because well, he is Sasuke or, if it was something people just didn't do back in the village. When Sakura arrives, all the prisoners are constantly talking about how pretty the new doctor is which makes Sasuke think about the ring thing even more. I believe Sakura's first appearance is on episode 283 and it is also where we get the very expected ring scene. The way he gives it to her couldn't be more perfect and more... Sasuke! First of all, it was a red ring made out of chakra (this will be helpful later in the episodes), for some reason I think the color goes perfectly well with them, he doesn't say romantic things but, he did say meaningful things that made Sakura realize he cares and after giving her the ring, he just continued with the mission. This is what I love about him, he's not a romantic! He just has his own ways to show his feelings without being cheesy. I got teary eyes!!

There's also this scene I loved where Sakura bumps into a rock and Sasuke catches her right away as he slightly sighs, I mean, it may not be something super special but, this is what I mean when I say I love Sasuke's coldness. (Am I weird for that?)

In that same scene they do something related to the mission but we have a super duper cute holding hands in front of a lake moment. Seriously guys, I couldn't stop fangirling cuz we don't see these moments between them often.

There was also this scene where one of Sasuke's cellmates tells Sakura that Sasuke often likes to look at a tree, when she looks through the window, she realizes it is a plum tree that looks pretty similar to a sakura tree, which means that tree, makes him think of Sakura.

And theeeeeen, in the last episodes, Sakura is injured by one of the enemies so she can't escape when the building collpases. She's hurt and scared but there's not much she can do cuz she was injected with a thing that paralyzed her or something. So, the chakra ring helps Sasuke to find his wife and save her. ♡

In the end the mission is a success and they both have to return to their lives as they were before. They understand they have responsibilities but, I feel like Sakura feels more at ease knowing how Sasuke feels even tho she won't be wearing her ring because of her work.

I mean, it's not like the story was romance focused, we had a lot of action and fighting scenes too but,  I did find many cute, moments even tho I NEVER GOT TO SEE A KISS! 

Now, even tho I think the ring scene was beautifully made, and papa Sasuke is smoking hot, I don't know if the animation in general was the best one. Guess I'm just comparing it with other shows I watch cuz I haven't watched many Boruto episodes and well, I don't know anything about animation.

All in all guys, I loved Sasuke Retsuden and I know I'll be getting the manga volumes. Having Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha moments like these has always been my dream, haha. I think is so worth watching and I highly recommend it. 

Sorry if this post is all over the place, fangirl Mon doesn't make sense most of the time.

I found this funny filter on Instagram and thought it'd be perfect to include it here. LOL. 
(don't judge me)

See you next time~ ♡

Kimetsu No Yaiba Uzui Tengen Mini Figure

There's another character from Kimetsu No Yaiba I love that is not Tomioka and who break the dark haired, serious type of anime guys I like. Uzui Tengen is my other love from the show, he's also the only husbando I share with 2 of my best friends. So we're constantly fighting over who gets the merch, hehe. 

Earlier this year one of them gave this Lego kind of figure of him as a pressie and, I just loved him so much! 

He came in a transparent box with a base that simulates a rock floor type of thingy. We also have his hot pic on the back, hehe. I can easily remove him from the base a just leave him on the other small black base he comes with but, I decided to keep it in the box for now. 

This figure is super detailed even if it's really small. He comes with his 2 swords and the chain, you can remove them. His clothes and face also have very nice details and bright colors.

Look at those tiny muscular arms!

I love his cute smile even with a bloody face! He's a very cool character in the anime so, I'm very happy to have a mini Uzui-sama as a part of my husbando collection, hehehe.

This is not my first Lego kind of figure, I also have a mini Sasuke I bought a while ago. And I'm finally putting some of my anime goodies together in a shelf so, I guess I'll show you guys eventually. 

See you next time~!! ♡

Mon's Kitchen | My meals in a week |

It's been a while since I last share something food related. Specially something I've made. So today, I decided to share some of the things I made for lunch in a week. Thing is, sometimes when I make too much of something, I end up eating it twice or even 3 times in a week. That's why I'm only sharing 3.

Don't expect these dishes to be super elaborated, I don't spend much time in the kitchen during the week because of work. I try to go for things that are fast and easy so, yeah. Also not all of them are the healthiest option for some so... don't judge me! Hehe

The first one is one of my favorites when I don't have much time: My Mc D's menu! Fish nuggets and hashbrowns. For some reason I prefer fish nuggets over chicken ones and, I just loooove hashbrowns. There's no science here, I added some lemon juice to my nuggets and ketchup to my hashbrowns. The sauces on the side are more ketchup and a little Valentina. Which is pretty much the only spicy sauce I eat. My bestie doesn't know how I live eating like this. Hehehe. A bag of nuggets usually lasts me for like 2 or 3 days.

Since I had a little more time I made some pasta with meat and veggies. This is the easiest way for me to eat veggies! I tend to forget about them, and it's not because I don't like them. For this pasta I used ground beef, tomato sauce, chopped carrots and potato and green beans. I didn't make the sauce from scratch tho, I used Heinz's bolognese sause and added some salt with garlic to it. It was pretty good but I made enough to eat for a week! I decided to freeze part of it and eat some other day cuz, I got a little tired of it, hehe.

I bought a package of 5 frozen breaded chicken steaks (I'm not sure if they are steaks). I only used a couple and kept the others in the freezer. I decided to eat the chicken with some spinach. I actually love spinach! The chicken only had some seasoning and I had it with a tiny bitsy bit of mayo. The spinach had lemon juice and tajin, hehe. But it disappeared and doesn't show in the pic. I made enough for two days.

And then we have dessert. This was a caramel flan, since I made small portions I ended up having too many. I ate them a lot and even shared some of them. It was not bad but not sweet enough for me.

I realized I only took pics of my lunch when I drank Coca-Cola with them. I have to say that was not an everyday thing tho, some days I also had plain water or cranberry juice.

And well guys, that is that for the meals I made in a week. I can proudly say, they were good! Hehe.

Hope you enjoyed this short post, I'll see you next time~ ♡

Audiobook bits | Jessica Simpson: Open Book

In the past, part of my New Year's Resolutions was to read more and, it just never happened! At least not often~ What can I say? I'm lazy when it comes to reading books, that's why I've been sticking to reading some manga every now and then. But, even tho it was not a resolution this year, I did finish an audiobook this month; Open Book by Jessica Simpson. It is just easier for me to listen to something while I'm doing other things around the house. Hence my love for podcasts.

When I was younger I was a big Jessica Simpson fan, I wanted to be just like her. It all started when I watched Newlyweds on MTV for the first time. I liked the style, those super high heels, her style and the "perfect" life Nick and Jess seemed to have on their reality show. Oh~ the good old early 2000's.

Of course, after that I became a fan of her music too. I bought her perfumes and albums and even received a bag from her collection not long ago.

This book is not new, it was published back in 2020. It took me a while to pay more attention to it, and I'm not exactly sure what made me want to listen to it but, it was totally worth it. Plus, the audiobook is narrated by her so it feels like listening to stories from a friend. 

In this book, Jessica talks about everything, from starting her career to love, divorce, toxic relationships and her addictions. As someone who grew up looking up to her, it was interesting to see beyond what I saw on TV. Not that I didn't know she was a normal person but, you know, sometimes we think celebrities always have a perfect life. I could relate to her in a different level. I mean, we do have completely different lives but there were some things I could relate to. Like trying to please everyone around us instead of focusing on our own life and feeling absolutely devastated after our parents' divorce even if we werw already "old enough". She had a hard letting go of so many things that made her "happy" in her life, and so do I. So, listening to her story, made me feel validated in a way, if that makes any sense~ It taught me that yeah, it is a hard thing to let go and that sometimes everyone around us moves on but we're stuck because we're afraid of what might come if we let go. But many beautiful things will come once you find the beauty of it.

In the book she talks a lot about God and her beliefs because well, she's the daughter of a former minister but it is not like a religious book. I'm not a believer but it didn't bother me.

I laughed, felt inspired and even cried a little while listening to it. I was binge listening, not even joking. 

And I know that not everyone is interested in this type of books, I wasn't sure if I was going to find it interesting but, if you wanna read/listen to someone sharing wisdom, inspiration and a real woman behind pop-culture, I defo recommend it.

 There is also a sountrack for this book that you can find at the end of the audiobook, it comes with 6 songs, one feat. Willie Nelson.

Anyway guys, that is that for this audiobook recommendation / chit chat kind of thingy. 

See you next time~! ♡
