Halloween Pimple Patches 🕸

I'm not new to pimple patches but, this is the first time I ever buy them so, of course they had to be Halloween! I found them as I was looking for some seasonal and themed skin care products and well, I couldn't resist. 

As you know, pimple patches are "stickers" that you apply on a pimple and leave on to reduce the breakout, protect the area and prevent you from picking on it. I do get pimples every now and then, especially before my period but, nothing too crazy really so I'm not sure how often I'll be using them but, I love to just have them around.

This box comes with 5 sheets with 16 cute patches on each of them. They have the cutest designs including Jack O' Lantenrs, ghosties, black cats, skulls, spiders and bats. I am in love with them!

How cute are they?

Some of the main ingredients these patches have are Tea tree, witch hazel and centella asiatica extract. Honestly, I haven't tried them yet. A part of me wants to but, I don't really wanna get a pimple anytime soon. I know I'll use them even when it's not Halloween season, hehe.

And well, that's it for this super short post, I just wanted to show you these cuties. 

See you next time~! 🩸

My Halloween Tees 🎃

Tis the season! So it's time to take out the Halloween tees. I used to buy so many in the past, but I kinda stopped in the last years, I think I've been more focused on getting movie/horror ones (that I didn't include here) and, I've also gotten rid of some with time. But I thought it would be fun to share them around here now that it's their time to shine.

Let's do this in no particular order, ignore my awkward posing tho.

This one was a Halloween gift from my mom a couple of years ago and it's from Cuidado con el Perro. I love how it has a Ouija board kind of design but says something completely different. I have another that's similar with a pizza saying and, I just love them! I think they are super fun! This one is a little Witchy and it doesn't show much but the letters are actually pink. A very soft pink.  

This grey, bat tee is one of my oldest and fav ones. It's is also from Cuidado con el Perro and even tho it's super simple, I find it super fun and cute. I remember the bat used to have some glitter on it that disappeared with time as I washed it. (I'm glad!) Now that I think about it, this one isn't exactly a Halloween tee, I can wear it all year round.

I love this one but I don't wear it that often because it's slightly cropped and I don't think it's that flattering on me. It is this bright, salmon color that is so not halloweeney and has seasonal words all over it. It is from Optima.

This tee doesn't look Halloweeney unless you pay attention to the words on it. 

This BOO! tee is also from Optima, I remember I got a matching one for the bestie as a Halloween pressie, years ago. It is super, super simple but the ghost makes it cute.

I dare to say this is my oldest one. It was a pressie from one of my auntas, many years ago. The color has faded a little but I refuse to let go of it yet, hehe.

I'm surprised it still fits, hehe. But I do wear it every year.

I don't remember if I got this one around the same time as the one with words on it... they are both from the same store and... they have the exact color. I don't love this one to be honest and don't wear it as much. Maybe I'll give it another chance this year.

We have another tee from Cuidado con el Perro and, it was a Halloween pressie from my mom too. I love the fact that it says "Halloqueen". It is one of the few orange clothes I have cuz it is so not my fav color to wear. This one is like a burnt orange even if the photo doesn't show it much.

I can say, this is the one that screams Halloween more than the others I have. It was a hand-me-down from the bestie.

Not a tee but I decided to include it here because it's super Halloweeney too. My beloved Halloween leggins. These were a Halloween gift from one of my close friends, years ago. I love them, they are fun. And they kinda remind me of those Christmas prints people wear on sweaters and leggins but, in a better version. Haha.

This one is more of a Day of the Dead crop top. It was gifted by the same friend who gave me the leggins. I usually just wear it once a year, since Day of the Dead just flies by and I always wear something under it because I'm not confident enough to wear it alone. I believe it is from Lob. (I don't know if that store exists anymore~)

Now that I tried it on again, it's super tight on me! It might not show that much but, I could definitely feel it.😂

And, that is that! All my Halloween tees plus a couple of seasonal extras. Let me know if you'd like to see my show/movies/horror related tees. I don't have too many, but I think the collection is slowly growing.

See you next time~!🎃

🔖 Recent Reads: Mis días en la librería Morisaki

Can you believe I've shared 2 book posts in one month? Like, who's this girl? lol. But, I'm glad I was able to finish it this month because I'm so ready to start a spooky book in October, it just feels right.

This time I read Mis días en la librería Morisaki by Satoshi Yagisawa which was also a book that my bestie lent me a couple of months ago. 

It tells the story of Takako, a 25 year old whose not-so-good life changes after she spends some time living with her uncle Satoru in an old book store that has been in her family for many generations. There she finds her purpose in life, meets new people, discovers a love for books and develops a strong relationship with her uncle.

I really like the cover of this book for some reason.

I really, really enjoyed this book. It was an easy, heartwarming and I would even call it, a cozy book. I read it pretty fast since it's not a thinck book. I love Japan, so it was fun to imagine the places, the streets, the people, the old bookstore. I think this book was great for Spetember since everything feels cozier, it was a nice way to distract my mind from work and other things.

Honestly, in the past, I didn't think I'd enjoy reading these type of  "slice of life" kind of stories but, it makes sense since I really like some shows (especially anime) like that sometimes too. 

And well, that'll be it for this book, defo recommend it if you want something that doesn't make you think much but you can still enjoy every part of it.

See you next time~!💋

Beauty of Joseon & Belskin Serums

I recently started using this serum from a brand I've never seen before: Belskin which is a Mexican company that makes beauty and personal care products. I ran out of one of my favorite serums so far and decided to give this one a chance and try it.

Speaking of my favorite one, I wasn't planning on making a dedicated post to it (dunno why) but since we're talking about serums, I thought it'd be worth mentioning it. It is the Beauty of Joseon Green Tea + Panthenol Calming Serum. My sister gave it to me back in July and I started loving it almost right away. It is very light and refreshing, good for all skin types. It has green tea leaves water and panthenol as its main ingredients. Apparently, green tea helps improve damaged skin, it also has vitamin C content and centella asiatica extract, which have soothing, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties. 

I can honestly say that my skin looked and felt better as soon as I started using this product. It was super soft, glowy and healthy. I only used it at night but I could still see the changes the next day after washing my face and doing the whole skincare routine. 

It was a small bottle with only 10ml but it lasted for a couple of months. It doesn't have a scent to it and it absorbs pretty fast on the skin. I'd defo recommend it and, of course, buy it again.

Now let's move to the one I'm currently using, I haven't used it for that long tho, I started this month. It is the Belskin's Collagen Facial Serum. It comes in a 30ml presentation and it's supposed to help with the signs of aging like  fine lines and sagging skin, leaving your skin looking firm youthful.

This one is slightly thicker, having almost a gel-like consistency and leaves a bit of a sticky feeling while it absobs. It doesn't have a scent to it. It has collagen and hyaluronic acid as main ingredients.

I've been using it twice a day, everyday and, even tho the results aren't as visible as with the other serum, I like it. My skin does look and feel healthy and hydrated. I remember they had another serum with different ingredients, maybe I'll try that one next time.

face after night skincare routine

All in all, I like both products, the Belskin one is way cheaper than the Beauty of Joseon serum and I'd say the results are better but, the two of them can be good options depending on your budget. I might try other Belskin products in the future.

Hello Fall! 🍁| Obligatory Pumpkin Haul |

 My favorite season is here and, as every year, I like to stock on Fall and especially pumpkin spice stuff, for the season and, for the rest of the year. My house usually has some Fall touches all year round. 

So, yeah. I wasn't planning to make many haul posts this month because last one had many of them but, I couldn't help it, I've been collecting some stuff and it felt like the right thing to do to welcome the season. Sorry not sorry.

Let's just do this. I'm gonna start with some things my mom gave me back in August. I love it when people think of me when they see Fall stuff~

First we have this "hello pumpkin" sign. I love the fact that it doesn't say anything "Fall" or "Thanksgiving" related, it means I can keep it on display during other seasons too. Cuz I've been called pumpkin before. You know, as a nickname because of the hair and stuff and I find it very cute. 

I kinda like it there, on my forever Fall corner. It stays like that all year.

The next item is this cute pumpkin shaped Mason jar. The size doesn't show much in the pic but it is great for coffee. Love the fact that it came with a matching lid and straw, it's perfect to take on the go.

I have mostly pumpkin stuff for the season so this candle holder is a nice change. I'm currently using it to display my Fall teaspoons that are a couple of years old now. It doesn't show that much in the pic but the glass has the leaves printed on both sides, inside and out and it's slightly translucent, I'm sure it must look pretty with a lit candle.

And to wrap up the pressies part, she gave me a Coffee Mate pumpkin spice creamer as soon as they were out at thee supermarket. You know I love me a good pumpkin spice coffee.

Moving on, here are the things that I've bought so far. I'll probably buy more, who knows?

Glade Golden Pumpkin Spice Air Freshner. According to the internet it has notes of heirloom pumpkin and star anise. Personally, I hare anise but I can't smell it here. Honestly, I can't smell the pumpkin that much either. To me it smells a little bit more like... cinammon rolls. Which is still a very cozy, Fall-like scent to me.

This wooden piece of decor is now on my coffee station and I'm planning to leave it there as a year round decor. Pumpkin spice is one of my favorite drinks / flavors so it makes sense for me to have it there. Plus the colors are pretty neutral, it doesn't scream Fall. 

Just added a couple of Fall touches to the coffee station for now.

And that's that for this haul guys, I realized most of the things here were gifts. I'm spoiled, can't deny that. 

Anyway, I'm just happy Fall and the -ber months are here. My house already has a couple of cozy Fall touches here in there since September started, I'm sure I'll start decorating for Halloween pretty soon.

See you next time~!🎃

Bad Horror Movies I've Watched

So, we know I love horror movies and yeah, sometimes I complain about them not being scary anymore but, I also have these days when I feel like watching really bad horror movies. You know, those with terrible effects, bad acting and even funny in way when they are not supposed to be funny. Why? just for entertainment, haha. Some of these movies were SO bad that I actually enjoyed them, I don't know if that's weird.

So today, I'm gonna share some of them with you. This is just my personal opinion, I'm sure there are people out there who actually like these movies. What can I say? There's something for everyone.

Anyway, let's start. These are in no particular order.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey

"As a young Christopher forsakes Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet, their innocence decays. Soon, the two unleash their feral impulses, developing an insatiable hunger for blood."

I didn't know there was a Winnie The Pooh horror movie, it never crossed my mind until one of my 3rd grade students told me about it, he saw parts of it on TikTok and kinda recommended it since he knew I loved horror. 

It is a movie from 2023 and it's an independent British slasher. I kinda like the idea of classic tales and characters in a darker story and I also know there are some really good independent horror movies out there but... this was not the case. At least for me.

It's bloody, of course but, it lacks lots of other things to make it a good slasher. Yeah, the idea is the typical one, girls going on holiday and getting killed by these giant fantasy characters (that really look like dudes wearing masks) but, is really predictable and acting isn't bad but is not the best either. I don't remember where I watched this movie but I'm sure it's not difficult to find online.

I watched this movie back in 2023 but decided to include it here, not only because I never talked about it but also because I found out there was second movie not long ago...

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2

"Not wanting to live in the shadows any longer, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl and Tigger take their fight to the town of Ashdown, leaving a bloody trail of death and mayhem in their wake."

I'll admit this one was better than the first movie, not great, just better, it was released last year. Acting improved and Wiinie and the orhers looked a little less costume-like. It's still pretty bloody and gory and it has SO many random deaths. In this movie we actually learn more about where the evil characters come from, why they kill (kinda) and their connection with Christopher. The end leaves a door open for a 3rd movie so, we'll see. 

I also found this online, I'm not sure if some streaming platforms have it.

Baby Doll

"Four foreign exchange students are forced to take shelter in an abandoned home after discovering the villa they were supposed to be staying in is no longer available. Before long, one of the students hears whispers and sees creepy things everywhere."

This is a 2021 Italian horror movie, not sure if it was independent too. There's something about dolls in horror movies that could be really good but this one didn't do it for me. Acting wasn't believable, effects were off and... I think this one was my least favorite out of this list. The idea and the story weren't new but, it could've worked. I just think it wasn't executed that well. 

You can find this on Tubi.

And now, in case we didn't have enough classic tales, we have a Humpty Dumpty triology... yeah. I watchend them in the wrong order and, even tho the first one I watched was bad, I wanted to watch more after I finished that one so, I ended up watching the 3 movies. They are all available on Tubi too.

The Curse of Humpty Dumpty

"Wendy returns to her childhood home wither her daughters after she is diagnosed with dementia. While there, they come across a mysterious doll that Wendy seems to have strange, fragmented memories of. As Wendy fights to collect the missing pieces of her past, the daughters discover the dark history of this sinister and deadly doll named Humpty Dumpty."

This one is from 2021, and it's the first of the triology but, the second one I watched. And I have to say, it was the best out of the 3. The idea wasn't bad but the effects are. I don't think wounds have to be super there or super realistic all the time but in these movies in general, they didn't even try. Just super fake blood all over with no wound marks even if they are big ones, Humpty Dumpty is kinda creepy but, it loses all that when you can see the mask out of place...I don't know, it had many details that made it...bad.

The Cult of Humpty Dumpty

"A group of troubled teen girls are taken to a remote camp and soon learn they're in the clutches of a cult that worships the demonic Humpty Dumpty"

Second Humpty Dumpty movie, last one I watched. It is from 2022 and honestly, it was the worst out of the 3 movies. Worst story, worst acting, worst ending, scenes were inconsistent. It was just so silly! The only thing I wanna highlight is that they mentioned "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" at some point and, that made me happy. LOL.

The Madness of Humpty Dumpty

A young woman suffering from early onset schizophrenia, begins experiencing unnatural occurrences with a strange doll after moving back to her childhood home in the countryside.

Last Humpty Dumpty movie, first one I watched. This is the most recent, from 2023. I feel like my  opinion here is same as with the previous one, the acting was just bad, the bloody scenes super fake. Story could've been saved but, it just didn't happen. Yet, after watching this one, I was curious to watch the others so... yeah. I don't know why I do this things.

And, that'l be it for now. Would I watch these movies again? Absolutely not. But if you wanna watch something bad and not serious at all, feel free to take this as a recommendation. Plus, I've noticed Tubi seems to be the best place for bad horror. I've watched others that were kinda irrelevant there too.

I'm sure by the time I post this, I''ll already have more bad movies to add so, I might make more posts like this in the future.

See you next time~! 💋

Spooky Haul 🩸

It's time for our monthly spooky haul! Haha. These are just things I've been collecting since our last one that I don't consider to be Halloween stuff. I'll save those for October because yeah, I already started buying and collecting some Halloween goodies. 

I've gottend these things from different stores and places so, I'll try to mention them as I show you the items. Let's do this!

First we have this Yokai 3D pring. I got it ealier last month at a Japanese Matsuri I went with my friends. I believe it's supposed to be a bookmark but I have it as decoration in my room. The picture doesn't really show it but, it's textured.

This bat was a very random purchase, it's actually a dog toy we found at Walmart. I removed the tag so I don't really know the brand. My sister made it hug me while gocery shopping and... I just had to get him and name him "Billy". They had other super cute dog toys, my sister algo got one and a spider ball for the furry niece. 

I am obsessed with this bloody tee from Temu. I've seen it with other phrases on it but this one was my favorite. I got M size which is slightly loose, I don't mind but I wanted a different fit. I just think it's super fun and original. I believe they have matching pants too.

I accidentally bought 2 of these bat scrunchies and ended up giving my sister one. They are also from Temu. The scrunchie is ,ade of a velvety material but the bat wings and wars are felt. It's not the best quality but I still think they are very fun and cute.

I also bought a set of 6 black, bat socks (but I'm only keeping 4). I don't need more socks but you know, it's something we always wear so, yeah. I don't remember if they had other colors too. These are from Temu too.

Lastly we have some candy because, I had to. These gummy fangs are SO good and SO cute! I'm on my Vamps obsessed era so, it made sense to get them.

This is the most unnecessary thing and the last thing I recently got, I just couldn't resist cuz then again, we have fangs. This like one of those "baby pacifier" kind of hard candies. It's strawberry and I love strawberries so...

And that's that guys! This is probably the last spooky haul before moving to a Halloween Haul, I'm excited about it, hehe. 

See you next time~!💋
