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~!⚰️

imPRESS Halloween Nails🎃

 It's finally time to wear these nails I bought earlier this year. They are the imPRESS Press-On Manicure Halloween Glow in the dark nails. I did save them for this season because they are very Halloweeny.


This set comes with 30 medium, coffin shaped nails which is great cuz that way I can save at least another set for next year. They are all nude with orange and some black details. I love nude nails cuz it doesn't looks bad or as obvious when your natural nails are growing. They already come with glue so the application is fast and easy.

They have many different designs including Jack-O'-lantenrs, pumpkins, bats, stitches and slime.

It also came with a prep pad, a mini file and a manicure stick. I like the fact that they already have the glue on them but, I still prefer liquid glue better.



I love this shape and the lenght, they are super comfy to wear. They are thin but strong and don't feel cheap, I think it's my first time trying this brand.

These are the designs I chose this time. Of course I had to include the bats.

These nails looks good after a week wearing them, color hasn't came off but, I did have to glue them again with liquid glue cuz they started falling off after a couple of days. And, the glow in the dark part is very subtle.


And, that is it for this nail post. I rarely wear orange nails but I really liked these. They are just so fun and festive!
Anyway, I'll see you next time~!🎃

More Horror Movies I've Watched Lately

I wanted to make a Halloween Movies post this month but I have a lot of movies and shows I've watched lately that I want to share before the year is over or it'll feel like its super late (it already is, but, oh well~ It could give you some ideas in case you want to watch some horror this month. 

These are in no particular order, I'm just gonna order the ones that are sequels so they can be one after the other. It makes more sense, right? Let's just do this.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer 

"The murderous fisherman with a hook is back to once again stalk the two surviving teens, Julie and Ray, who had left him for dead."

This movie is from 1998 and it's an American slasher film, sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer. I never really watched it since my favorite characters were killed in the first movie but, I felt like watching it before the 3rd movie came out this year, just in case I was missing something important. And honestly? I didn't like it that much. I mean, it wasn't bad, it was just... bleh. I mean, it did feel like a continuation cuz the story wasn't exactly the same as the first one but, to me, there was something missing. I dont know.

And then we have the sequel to that one... 

I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025

"A group of friends are terrorised by a stalker who knows about a gruesome incident from their past."

This is also an American slasher film that came out this year. I was kinda looking forwart to it and even tho it wasn't the best movie ever, I enjoyed the fan service soooo much more than the "new story". Which wasn't exactly new, it was pretty similar to the first movie, I didn't care much about the new characters and their stories, the killer reveal wasn't that cool but, it did have a good plot twist. Seeing Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt and, especially, Sarah Michelle Gellar back in this movie, was the best part for me. 

The end felt a little too silly for me tho. But there was a post credit scene that leaves things open to another movie. This time featuring Brandy too. Will I watch it? Probably, hehe.

 These next two are rewatches because you know, I'm on my Sarah Michelle Gellar rewatch year.

The Grudge


 
"Karen is an American nurse living in Tokyo who is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse. The curse is a vengeful spirit that possesses a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and then spreads to another victim."

The Grudge is a 2004 supernatural horror film that, to me, feels like a classic. I remember I used to find it scary years ago. Now that I watched it again, it didn't feel as scary as I remembered but, it still made me jump a couple of times (mostly with the loud noises) and, I still liked it. Plus, it takes place in Japan, and we all know I love Japan way too much. That's an extra something. I feel like this could be a yearly rewatch for me, I like the story and I think it has aged well. 

The Grudge 2


"Devious spirits created after the Saeki family was murdered still haunt the people and claim their victims. Aubrey, Karen's sister, goes to Tokyo to save Karen from the clutches of the evil spirit."

The Grudge 2 came out in 2006, and it's the sequel of The Grudge, this time, following Karen's sister. I liked this one but I still like the first one a lot more. That usually happens to me, I love the originals more than the sequels but, it was still good and I enjoyed it. Now that I'm writing this, I want to rewatch The Ring too, I used to love that movie so, so much. And I feel like they have a similar vibe even tho they are different stories.

The Black Phone


"Finney Shaw is a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who's being held in a soundproof basement by a sadistic, masked killer. When a disconnected phone on the wall starts to ring, he soon discovers that he can hear the voices of the murderer's previous victims -- and they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn't happen to Finney."

This is a 2021 supernatural American horror movie, it took me a while to watch it despite all the great things I heard about it but, it did not disappoint. It was good! It has some good jump scares, effects didn't feel or look fake and the story just kept me hooked. There's a sequel coming soon, and I'm sure I'll be watching it.

Heretic


"Two young missionaries become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse when they knock on the door of the diabolical Mr. Reed. Trapped in his home, they must turn to their faith if they want to make it out alive."

This one was mom's recommendation and we actually watched it together. It is a psychological horror film that came out last year. Psychological horror has to be one of my favorite types of horror and if it's mixed with religion, win win for me. I'm so not religious but I find religious horror movies SO entertaining for some reason. I liked this one, it felt a little long and slow every now and then but, all in all, I enjoyed it. To me, the ending was a little surprising and it was different for me to see Hugh Grant playing this character. I haven't watched many of his movies but, for some reason, I always connect him with romantic comedies.

Longlegs


"FBI Agent Lee Harker is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again."

This is another movie that came out this year, it's an American horror thriller that I heard was one of the scariest movies this year. I had high expectations when I watched it which wasn't a good thing because, even tho it wasn't a bad movie, it just didn't do it for me. Yes, it had good scenes, tension and the story is good but, it felt a little slow. Plus, this might just me but, I thought some things were not that well explained.

Bring her back


"A brother and sister witness a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother."

Shortest summary ever, lol. Bring Her Back is a 2025 Australian supernatural horror movie. It's actually one of the most recent movies in this post. And I have to say that I defo recommend it. I really, really liked it. The story keeps you hooked until the end. There are some scenes that are very difficult to watch, and I think those were the ones I found the scariest. The story is good, one of the main topics here is grief and that is why I think it also worked for me. The end was sad tho, very sad. It didn't make me cry but, yeah... 

Cuckoo

"Seventeen-year-old Gretchen reluctantly leaves America to live with her father at a resort in the German Alps. Plagued by strange noises and bloody visions, she soon discovers a shocking secret that concerns her own family."

Lastly we have Cuckoo, a 2024 German & American science fiction, horror, thriller movie (yes, those are too many genres in one). I watched this movie with high expectations and it just wasn't for me. Not saying it's bad but there were things I just didn't understand, it felt slow and the end just didn't work for me. I'm not a huge science fiction fan so maybe that had something to do with it. Worst movie ever? Nope but, I don't think I'd rewatch this one.

And those are some of the horror movies I've watched lately. My mom sent me this October Movie Calendar and I've been trying to follow it. I might change some movies cuz I've watched or rewatched some of them this month. I'll include the calendar here in case you want to watch some of them too.

Feel free to send me recommendations of your favorite horror movies. I love to watch and discover movies I didn't know existed or watch some I wouldn't choose on my own.

See you next time~!💋

My Spooky & Halloween Earring Collection 🕷

Earlier this month I shared a couple of posts showing you my earrings collection but, I saved the Halloweeny and spooky ones for October, it just felt right, hehe.

Years ago, I shared some Halloween earrings my sister gave me (Something Wicked) and I think those were some of the first I had (and you'll see them a lot in here), my collection has grown a little since then, and I'm sure it'll will continue growing. I think I'm also going to include a couple of Day of the Death once cuz I only have like two and I only wear them around this time of the year,

Let's do this!

Let's start with batsies, the ones on the left were part of the Something Wicked set and the black hearts with wings are my most recent ones. I believe they also had them in red.

Moving on, we have ghosties. I only have 2 pairs of long earrings and the cat ghosts are one of them. They were a bday pressie a few years ago. The smaller ones are also from the Something Wicked set. 

Next we have scaredy cats and Jack-O'-Lanterns, both from the Something Wicked set. Nothing screams Halloween more than Jack-O'-Lanterns.

Also from the same set are these moon relater earrings. I don't think moons are only Halloween but, I included them in here. I used to think the first pair were cats on the moon but now I think they're more like owls... Idk. I used to have other silver moon earrings but I lost them somewhere...

These are the other long ones I have, these witch's brooms were a gift (Halloween gift I think) from one of my friends. They are really cute!

I don't remember exactly where these tomb stones are from but I love how detailed they are despite the size.

I didn't know how many spider earrings I have until I put them all together for the picture. They are all from different places I can't remember. All I can say is that the pink pair was the first one I bought, a long, long time ago.

Lastly, we have my two Day of the Dead earrings. Both were gifts from my dad and I believe he got them at the Alfeñique Fair. He would always get us something whenever he went there. The cat ones glow in the dark.

And, that's it! Those are all the Halloween earrings I have, at least for now. I'm sure I'll buy more to add to this small collection. I also want to get a proper thing to display them, I've seen many cute ones online.

Here are my previous earrings collection posts in case you wanna check them out (these are not spooky ones tho):

My Updated Earrings Collection Part 1 | Golden Earrings | 💛

My Updated Earrings Collection Part 2 | Silver Earrings | 🩶

My Updated Earrings Collection Part 3 | Miscellaneous Earrings |🩷
