One Last Shows And Movies Recommendation Post

I definitely think I watched many more movies this year, but I kinda neglected shows and even anime, dunno why. Anyway, I wanted to make one last post with the ones I didn't include in my latest posts. This one is definitely going to be a little more random so, let's do this!!

I'll start with some shows, they were all released this year and... they are both completely different.

Girlbands Forever 

"As talent show winners Little Mix contend with social media, cool kids Sugababes face changing line-ups. And as some familiar faces make a comeback, what is the future for girl bands?"

I only knew about this one because I saw it on Natasha Hamilton's IG. Growing up I loved girl bands, I grew up obsessed with the Spice Girls and Atomic Kitten so, I knew I had to watch it. It was released on October 30th by the BBC, I binge watched the 3 episodes in one night.

It basically covers the history of brit girlbands and some juicy, and sometimes shocking, stories shared by their former members. I especially loved seen AK's Natasha and Jenny but, it was an interesting and entertaining watch in general.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story

"The series explores the life of convicted murderer and body snatcher Ed Gein through allusions to fictional cultural works inspired by his crimes, such as Psycho (1960), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), and The Silence of the Lambs (1991)."

This is the 3rd season of the Monster series, suprisingly, I've only seen this one. I started watching the Jeffrey Dahmer one but never really finished it, maybe I'll go back to it at some point. It only has 8 episodes and even tho, it wasn't bad, sometimes it felt a little confusing cuz it jumped between eras. Maybe it's just me but I felt a little lost when that happened.

I also watched a couple of movies before October, cuz that's when I started the 31 Days of Horror Movies calendar thing I shared on my previous movies post, I feel like I watched more but, not all of them were good or worth recommending.

The Invitation

"After the death of her mother and having no other known relatives, Evie takes a DNA test and discovers a long-lost cousin she never knew she had. Invited by her newfound family to a lavish wedding in the English countryside, Evie's at first seduced by the sexy aristocratic host. However, she's soon thrust into a nightmare of survival as she uncovers twisted secrets about her family history and the unsettling intentions behind their sinful generosity."

This one is an American thriller from 2022, I watched it because it was a vampire movie. It was entertaining, a little cheesy and had a decent plot twist at the end. I don't think I'd rewatch it, once was more than enough but, it wasn't bad.

Immaculate

"The plot focuses on a young novice nun, who is invited to reside at a picturesque Italian convent, but slowly realizes the terrifying secrets it harbors."

I love religious horror movies and I find convents kinda creepy so, these movies work for me, haha. Even tho I think this one is more of a thriller, it did have a few jump scares and tension that made it interesting until the end. This one is from 2024.

Stopmotion

"A stop-motion animator struggles to control her demons after the loss of her overbearing mother."

Stopmotion is a British psychological horror movie from 2023. It is a weird movie, that's the best way to describe it. It kinda reminded me of when my sister and I used to watch Locotomia on Locomotion because they used to have stop motion shorts and stuff. I wouldn't say it's scary but, I really liked it.

K-pop Demon Hunters

"When K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey aren't selling out stadiums or topping the Billboard charts, they're moonlighting as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger."

What can I say about this movie? I'm sure everyone has seen it by now. It took me a while to watch it and it was thanks to my bestie and her son that I did. I liked it a lot, more than I thought I would. I feel like if you are a kpop fan, like or know some things about korean culture, you notice lots of fun details throughout the movie. 

And yeah, the soundtrack is chatchy!!

And lastly, I'm gonna share the only 2 anime I watched this year! There are so many I still have to watch and catch up with...

Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance

"Caught between his destiny and his promise to never kill again, the curtain rises once again for the second season of Rurouni Kenshin!"

This is the second part or second season of the Rurouni Kenshin remake. It covers Kenshin's trip to Kyoto to stop Shishio. Love, love, love it.

Mugen No Juunin Immortal

"The series is set in Japan during the mid-Tokugawa Shogunate period and follows the cursed samurai Manji, who has to kill 1,000 evil men in order to regain his mortality."

I'm currently watching this one, my sister recommended it and, I've been loving it. I love everything samurai or old Japan so, yeah. Lots of cool characters with great weapons and fighting skills. I know there's also a live action movie that apparently came out before the anime. I'm defo planning to watch it once I finish the anime.

And, to wrap it up, I'll share this list of Christmas horror movies I've been watching this month. I haven't watched all of them but, since I don't love Christmas movies, horror holiday ones sound like a better option for me, hehe. 

That will be it, guys. There are so many shows I still have to watch so, I'm sure I'll be sharing more movies and shows next year. Feel free to send me recommendations or let me know if you have watched some of the ones I shared.

I'll see you next time~!💋 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vampyr Stationery Set

In my previous post I showed you some pressies I recently recieved and this stationery set was one of them. I know, I know; this blog has been very BTVS loaded lately but, I am a fangirl and, I can't help it. And honestly, this Vampyr stationery set is too cool not to share.

The set comes in a box that resembles the Vampyr book from the show. It's great to display! Love the details on it, and if you remove and use the stuff in it, you can always store other things in it.

Front and back of the box. I'm gonna keep it on display on my living room's coffee table, I just love it so much! 

It comes with 20 notecards, 20 envelopes, 20 sticker seals and a notebook. 

I can't wait to use everything but, at the same time, I want to save the cards for special things or for people I know would appreciate them. Same with the notebook, I want to carry it around with me in my bag but don't wanna end up using it for something silly. Do you ever get that feeling?

These are the different cards with famous quotes from the show. I actually chose 2 and put them in frames on my living room.

I die with the stakes on the envelopes. Can they be more slayer-ish?

How cool would it be to seal a letter with one of these?

And there's this beauty. Inside it's lined notebook.

And, there you have it guys, merch I didn't know existed but I'm happy to have, haha. I promise this is the last Buffy post, at least for now.

I'll see you next time~!💋

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~! 

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~!💋
