😸 Cat sitting #6

 


It's quick cat update time! Hehe.

After spending a lot more time home during my "break" I noticed Sassy is a lot more used to the routine and how things are over here. Every morning they both wait for me, sitting in the kitchen for their breakfast. Specially during the weekend, and they actually eat at the same time most mornings, which didn't used to happen before.

I keep the cat treats in a container and everytime I give them to Masha, I say "Who wants a treat?" and shake it a little, Masha just knows and comes running. It's cute because Sassy does it now too, she knows it means "treat time."

And well, they have their own night routine where they play (alone or together) at night and after a while, they both come to bed. Usually one a few minutes after the other. We all sleep together every night now.


And it's not only at night, while I was on my break, I spent a lot of time watching shows and they both were in the same room with me most of the time. It was nice because, a few months back Sassy would nap in a separate room because they didn't like to be in the same room. 

Now that I'm back to work, I don't feel too worried about leaving them alone. It's cute cuz they both are waiting for me when I come back home.

😋

I think that's it for this month guys, Sassy is the sweetests so, it's been really nice to have her over.
Here are the other cat sitting posts in case you haven't read them.

Jujutsu Kaisen Wafer Cookies Vol.2


 It's anime snack time!

This time I bought a Jujutsu Kaisen Wafer Cookie just because it was Jujutsu Kaisen, hehe. There's nothing too special about it tho,  the packaging is cool and it comes with a sticker.


The cookie is a double chocolate wafer that smelled delish and was actually pretty good but, it wasn't out of the ordinary. It came on a plastic-ish tray thingy with some pics of the possible stickers you can get and a QR code that takes you to a Bandai online store when you scan it.

As the Kimetsu No Yaiba snacks I bought a while ago, this one says Vol. 2, this means there is a Vol. 1 and 3. I think the only thing that changes is the package and probably the kind of stickers you get. I pretty much got this one because it was the only one left but, I was happy with it because Nobara is one of my fav characters. 

The sticker came in a small transparent bag, I got Noritoshi Kamo, from the Kyoto Jujutsu High which was like... bleh. I wanted other characters. Oh well~


I don't regret buying it tho, anime snacks are always fun and there's something exciting about not knowing what you're gonna get so, yeah.

Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action Prequel: The Revenge of Scar



On August 20th, Netflix released the 2nd Fullmetal Alchemist live action which will have a second part. This time I decided to watch it on the next day because, idk if you remember but, it took me forever to watch the first one.

Since it's still pretty new, I promise I won't spoil anything. I already had an idea of what to expect but I wanted to watch it, giving it a chance cuz the trailer looked good.

This time the Elric brothers will have to face Scar (along with the homunculus) and, even tho I remembered this character, I forgot about many things from the anime (it's been a while...). Scar wants revenge from the Ishval Civil War where most of the Ishval people where killed by the Amestrian Military, including his brother. Many Alchemists took part on this war so his goal is to kill them. That's the general idea.

We can see characters like Ling Yao, Lan Fan and May, who I remember as a small girl... I didn't remember much about them, I just know Lan Fan will get an automail later in the story, tee he hee.

He's cute

As from the military, we finally see Armstrong and King Bradley along with the others we saw on the previous movie, Riza, Roy and Hughes.


I was SO happy to see grandma Pinako, Den and a little more from Resembool. ♡ I loved to see Winry more involved in the story too and her interactions with Edward.

The previous movie had some emotional moments but I think this one hit me harder, haha. The whole story behind Winry's parents and how they died made me tear up a little. Specially after seeing Ed so involved even if he didn't know much about what happened.

Riza also had a bigger role this time and I have a feeling we'll see more from her in the second part.

I feel like, special effects and hair wise, they did impove if we compare it with the 1st movie.  Edward's hair wasn't exactly natural looking but it was better than before, same with Riza's, still could improve tho. I think Scar looked great and, Pinako and Hohenheim were my favorites. Can't forget about Al tho, he's always the cutest. The effects on some scenes could've been better (specially at the end) but, I don't complain.



I have to say, I didn't have many automail moments in this movie...

Idk what y'all think once you watch it and maybe, just maybe, my fangirl side is the one speaking but, I really enjoyed this movie! Like the previous one, it is loyal to the story and characters, it has lost of action but also a few funny moments (maybe not as many as the anime but, oh well~) and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one that will be released in September, I think.

Anyway guys, that's it for this post, I really wanted to share it because I need to share my obseesion with someone.

Tell me what you think, wil you watch it?

I couldn't find good FMA filters for this post but this one felt accurate. Those who know, know.

Natural Care Cosmetic Series ☾ Moon Collection


Long time no Sailor Moon post! 

Not long ago, I found these sheet masks in the most unexpected store downtown. I was surprised and excited and, of course, I had to get all of them! (At least the ones they had).

They are called "Moon Collection" and they are obviously inspired by Sailor Moon, I remember they also had a "Princess Collection" that, if I remember correctly, was inspired by Disney Princesses.

These were all the SM inspired masks they had, it was weird not to see a Sailor Moon or even Luna mask tho.

I couldn't find much about the brand online. Apparently these masks are designed in Korean and made in China. Idk. They have many more cute sheet masks tho.

The presentation is kinda cute even if the Scouts look a bitsy bit funny. The Artemis, brooch and Moon stick ones have to be my favs, they are really pretty.

All of the masks have a different purpose and ingredients so, let's check them out!

The transformation brooch mask is a hydrating mask with vitamins A (formation and regeneration of cells, repairs damaged cells and improves the condition and appearance of the skin.), B1 (provides hydration and protection against external agents. Plus, it stimulates cell renewal, improving healing capacity.) and B3 (reduces congestion, brightens skin, and gives you a more even tone. also helps repair and restore skin by minimizing water loss. It's also known for leaving skin soft and smooth). 

Sailor Mercury's is a detox mask.

Sailor Mars' is for a glowing effect with vitamins A (formation and regeneration of cells, repairs damaged cells and improves the condition and appearance of the skin.), B (Anti-aging, reduces water loss and moisturizes skin) and E (antioxidant, prevents skin damage and  controls skin aging).

Sailor Jupiter's is an anti-acne mask with antioxidants and vitamins B6 (preventive function, it is involved in the long-term regulation of oily and sensitive skin) and E (antioxidant, prevents skin damage and  controls skin aging).).

Sailor Venus' is a purifying mask with biotin and vitamins ZN (has anti-inflammatory properties) and B7 (prevents skin problems such as dermatitis, it can regenerate tissues. Promotes elasticity and hydration).

Cute Artemis' is a nutrition mask with vitamins A(formation and regeneration of cells, repairs damaged cells and improves the condition and appearance of the skin.) and B9 (essential in the process of cell renewal, reinforcing the density of the skin. Helps skin to look young and healthy).

The Moon Stick is a collagen mask

Since I bought many masks, I gave some away to my friends (I gave them their fav Scout) and my mom. 

The masks I've tried don't have a scent at all, they do come soaked in product which is very watery and non-sticky.

I was a little worried I would get a reaction after trying them (mostly because they were suuuuuuuuuuper cheap) but, I didn't! They actually worked well. Not the best masks out there but they did the job. My skin felt soft after using them but not super hydrated. 

I didn't have high expectations with them so, I'm not dissapointed. It was fun to get them and give some to other people. I might buy more in the future just because they are cute! Hehe.

BIOAQUA Blueberry Beauty Extract Serum

Let's talk about the serum I'm currently using, the BIOAQUA Blueberry Beauty Extract. Mom gave it to me a while ago and it's been part of my night routine ever since. You can use it in the mornings too tho.

It is not my first time using BIOAQUA products, my bestie gave me a rice serum before this one and I really liked it, I just forgot to blog about it for some reason. 

This serum comes with 15ml of product in a cute blue bottle and a dropper which makes it easier to control the amount of product you use and somewhat cleaner too.



It has a blueberry essence anti-wrinkle serum, which helps rejuvenate, soften and firm the skin. The blueberry nutrients help the skin to absorb moisture and nutrition. The antioxidants help fade fine lines, open pores and moisturize it.
It claims to make your skin "moist and clear" as well as "rosy, shiny, deliacte and tender"

The serum is transparent and watery with a slight oily texture. It doesn't have any scent to it and it absorbs quickly.



After applying it I do feel my skin a little more firm and tighter. And I wake up to a very soft and glowy skin the next morning. 
I guess you can get better results if you apply the product day and night, I might try to do that whenever I have enough time to have a longer skincare routine in the mornings. 

My experience with the products from this brand have been good so far, I'd defo purchase it again once I run out of product. Plus, they are very affordable.

Let me know if you've tried BIOAQUA products and what was your experience with them.

Part of my Uchiha Sasuke goodies


 Now that I've been sharing my husbando figures more often, I realized that I have a few Sasuke goodies that, for whatever reason, I haven't shared in here. And it's weird because Sasuke is one of the fav husbandos. I knooooow, not everyone is a Sasuke fan but, I love him. So, I decided to show you some of the Sasukes(?) I have in one post instead of making separate ones. 

I'm gonna organize them by age, Sasuke's age because I don't remember which one came to my life first... hehe. 

I'm gonna start with the Nyaruto! Cats of Konoha Village, Chibi Sasuke Neko. This is from Naruto's first season when Sasuke was a young, grumpy boy. This figure is tiny and super blue but, really cute! He lost his tail somewhere tho... dunno what happened to it. As some of you might know, there are other Naruto characters in neko version. I'm gonna include Sakura in here cuz, I have her too. I wanted to have the neko couple. 😊


Aren't they adorbs?

Moving on to Naruto Shippuden, we have a Lego kind of figure. And I mean "kinda" because I found him in a magazines stand along with other anime figures so, I'm not sure if it's official or not. Don't really care tho. This is an angry looking Sasuke that came with his sword and base. He looks ready to fight! His clothes are pretty detailed and he looks funny without his hair. 😁

LOL, excuse all the cat hair on his hair...

Also from Naruto Shippuden is my Sasuke plushie, which happens to be the biggest one of this mini collection. He was a birthday pressie 2 years ago. He is 30cm tall and also came with his sword. I removed the tag tho~ I must have it somewhere but this one is official. His clothes are very well made as well as the details. I loooove his big, red eyes and his usual expression.



And lastly we have my newest one. I'm still not over him. It's the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Rubber Mascot (gashapon). I got it when I went to Magyc House. They didn't have the Gashapon machine tho, they were selling it along with other gashapon from different series. I guess I was lucky, it was labeled so, I knew I was getting him.

It is kinda hard to find Boruto things over here so, it was exciting to have Papa Sasuke for a change! ♡ I couldn't stop fangirling over how cute and perfect he is. I'm still deciding if I should use him or just keep it on display. He has an adorable, slight smile and is carrying his sword. 😍 I'm so glad I got him. Plus, it's the first gashapon I buy.


All the other characters are really cute too! I NEED TO FIND SARADA THO, SHE IS GORGEOUS!

There you go guys, my mini Sasuke collection. I have other Naruto stuff that I didn't include here because it's not all about Sasuke. Plus, I keep finding things as I unpack stuff I still have in boxes. So, let me know if you'd like to see more anime collective hauls in the future. 

Hope you enjoyed seeing Sasuke as much as I do, haha. 

xox, Mrs. Uchiha.

TonyMoly Clean Dew Acerola Foam Cleanser


This is what I'm currently using as my everyday facial clenaser. The TonyMoly Clean Dew Acerola Foam Cleanser. TonyMoly is one of my favorite Korean brands, specially their skincare products.

According to its description "This moist foam cleanser makes the vigorous and healthy skin with the ingredient of acerola bearing early morning dews"

It has acerola extract, which is an anti-aging agent and vitamin C. It is great for all skin types but also great for mature skin because of the antioxidants and anti-aging properties.



It comes with 180ml of product, a little goes a long way. It is more like a cream type of cleanser than a foam one. The texture is super creamy and thick but it doesn't feel thick as you massage your face. It doesn't foam.

It has a sublte but delish cherry scent. I don't know why but, it reminds me of Cherry Halls. Lol. I don't think it has any mint tho. 

 This product is very gentle with my skin and leaves it feeling clean and fresh.

TonyMoly never dissapoints.

Magyc House

 

A few weeks ago (around July 16th) Magyc House opened and, from the moment I saw them online, I knew I had to go with my friends. Specially because of the Taiyaki! We all know how much I love desserts.

So yeah, las weekend we decided to go check it out and I have to say, we really liked it.

The place is divided in two parts, one is the showroom, which is basically a big store that has a bit of everything: anime and movie merch, clothes, accessories, japanese candy, etc. I didn't take any pictures there but we decided to explore the store before the cafeteria. We liked so many things! I have to go back with more money cuz they had lots of things I want. 

After checking the store and buying just a couple of things (actually my friends bought more than me) we moved on to the cafeteria, which is right next to the store to get some Taiyaki.

I loved how the place is decorated! The walls are manga inspired, all black and white with led lights sign thingies that give a pop of color to the place. I forgot to take pics of the other walls but they are defo cool photo spots if you like anime and manga.



Even the tables had manga-like designs.

Their menu includes Taiyaki, of course, some drinks, manju and other snacks. Prices wise, I think it was reasonable, at least the taiyaki cuz guys, they are huge!!

You can customize your taiyaki with different toppings, sauces and choose your ice cream flavor.



The staff were really nice and patient with us, specially considering how loud we can be, hehe. One thing I did notice was the taiyaki and the drinks took a while to arrive. 

In general, it was a fun experience and I know we will be back, whether it is to buy or to eat, or both! But, we will. Highly recommended if you're an otaku like myself or if you like desserts that can be a little extra and picture worthy. It's cool to have a place like this in my city.

I'll link their socials so you can check them out:

See you next time~!!
