Pressies From Canada🍁


Last week my aunt and uncle came to visit, they usually come for vacations during the cold Canada winter and, we had the chance to spend some time with them before they returned. We have met around the same time for 2 years straight, I hope it becomes a family tradition. It's really nice to catch up, laugh and, of course, eat a lot and drink together hehe.

We had a great time. Mom got reunited with her aunt and uncle she hadn't seen in a long time too. They were all very happy to see each other.

They didn't have to but, they brought some pressies with them and, you all know I love making these posts. So, I'm gonna show you what I received, starting with the clothes.

This pieces are from the Cardinal Golf Complex, they are sporty clothes, super comfortable and have great quality, I already have a beanie my uncle gave me last year, it's great for the Winter time!

Excuse if my descriptions aren't all great, I know nothing about sports wear, hehe.

First we have a gray (looks too light on the pic tho) golf sweatshirt from TRIMARK, I already wore this one and it is the best! It is not thick at all, yet it keeps you warm without been too hot. I like the zipper detail on the front. And, of course, it has the Golf complex's logo. 

Next, is a red and gray jacket from ELEVATE, that even tho is not a rain jacket, it is waterproof. It's perfect because I don't own many jackets, I usually don't like them because most of them are really big and make me feel like a big, furry bear and find them uncomfortable to move around. This one is light and thin but, it gives you good coverage.

The last piece of clothing is this black sports jacket, super comfy and breathable. This one is a collab with Adidas and has the Golf Complex's logo on the back.

And now, we're gonna move on to bags.

Starting with the most special ones because they were both made by my aunt.

I had no idea my aunt could make this, but she made a different bag for me, my mom and my sister. Different styles and colors. 

I love mine! I feel like it's something Nana Komatsu would have, hehe. The bag is pretty girly and the pearl charm makes it super cute! And the fact that was handmade and no one else can have the same bag, is pretty cool.

This one made my mom cry. My aunt used a sweater that belonged to grandma and made small coin purses for the girls in the family (she made one for my cousin too). It was the sweetest, most meaningful gift. Is defo something I will always carry with me in my bag.♡

The other bag I received is this adorable cats, knitted, beige tote bag from Maple Moose. They said they thought it'd be perfect for my laptop and, it actually is! It's fits perfectly but, I think it could make a good bag in general since it's strong and can carry a lot in it. Plus, we all know I am a cat lover. 

And with that, I'll end this pressies haul. I've been really enjoying everything. And just the thought behind all these things makes everything extra special. 
I hope we can reunite again soo, it's always so much fun!

See you next time~!💋

Collective Clothing Haul


Today we have a mini clothing haul for a change. I realized I haven't worn some of these pieces yet so, making this post would help me remember I have them and, hopefully, wear them soon.
The clothes won't be in any particular order, I'll just separate them in 2 parts, gifts and things I bought.
I clearly didn't take the time to iron any of them before taking the pics, light isn't the best and it might change from pic to pic. Just saying. I suck at taking clothes pics.
 
With that being said, let's start with the gifts.

My mom gave me this black dress with a very cute cherry print by ONLY,which is a European brand. I believe the line is called Only Edge Luxury and it is a super thick, knitted dress. It is even heavy (not in a bad way) so it's perfect for the colder seasons. I love the details on the puffy sleeves and the very subtle shimmer it has (that doesn't really show in the picture). It is super comfortable to wear and it think you can make it as fancy or as casual as you want with different accessories and shoes.

I included a closer look at the cherries hoping you could see the shimmery thing but, it's not really showing.

This black dress was algo a gift from my mom. It is lighter than the previous one so, I haven't really found a chance to wear this one since it's been a pretty cold winter so far. I think the dress is pretty, just not my style really. I still wanna wear it and give it a chance before deciding if I love it on me or not.

Lastly we have this black and white coat that was a hand-me-down from my mom. I love coats, I wear them a lot during the colder months. They are just cozy and comfy. This one is thick but still pretty lightweight and easy to match.

Now, we'll move on to the few pieces I've bought.

I'll start with my favorite, my Dracula hoodie. This one is from Cuidado con el Perro. I remember seeing it online back in October, I think it was part of the pieces they had for Halloween, I just never saw it in stores. Earlier this month I found it with 50% off and, I couldn't resist.

It is an official Universal Monsters hoodie, I don't know if they had the other monsters too tho. The back of it is my fav. It is super warm and comfy.

This blouse is from Mina Sabina and is a little bit out of my comfort zone but I still really like it. It looks kinda gray here but, it is actually black with a silverish, sparkly touch. I was planning to wear it during the holidays but, everyone wanted to have pj's/comfy clothes kind of reunions so, I still havent found a moment to wear it.

Lastly, we have this black and red polka dots midi skirt from Vero Moda. I rarely wear red, it's not my fav color but there was something about this skirt that made me wanna buy it. Plus, it was very, very cheap. It's really light and flowy, so I haven't worn it yet, it's too cold still!

And, there you have it guys, my collective clothing haul. I love clothes, I just dunno why I don't buy as many anymore. I want to try and make more OOTD posts around here cuz I feel like my style has changed a little in the last few years. We'll see what happens.

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~!

Halloween Haul 2025 #2⚰️


 We have one last Halloween haul this year of the things I didn't include on my previous one. These are random things I got throughout the month and I didn't want to save them for next year. I also got a couple of things on clearance. It wasn't much and nothing too exciting cuz everything was super picked over when I went. Maybe next year~

First I got these bat paper straws from Joi. I don't really use straws that often but I think it'd be cute to use them throughout the year to add a spooky touch to drinks and stuff. The package comes with 25 straws. 

This earring display has to be one of my favorite things ever. I got it to display and organize my Halloween earrings cuz I had them in this random container. They deserved some love. 
It is from Temu, they had other cute designs too.

I think this is the first time I buy an animal skelleton and, surprise surprise, it's not a cat! Hehe. This baby is still out in my living room even now that I took down my Halloween decor, I think I might keep it all year round. It is also from Joi.

Getting these bloody gloves was my mom's idea. She said it'd be fun for me to wear them when I drive to protect my hands and part of my arms from the sun. She know me well, haha. These are from Waldo's Mart. I have to say, even tho they fit, they are a little tight.

Fun bat napkins, I feel like I can use these before next Halloween.

I didn't need this but, it is so cool! I got a small vampire cape thing for wine bottles. I am obsessed and I need more! I found it on Temu

These next things are the ones I got on clearance at Walmart. Like I mentioned before, everything was super picked over and I couldn't find any decor anymore...

I really liked theUniversal Studios Little Monsters collection this year so, I got a couple of Dracula goodies. The first one is a melamine bowl thingy that would be great for snacks, then we have this ceramic trinket dish, that has to be my favorite thing out of them. It is so cute! I'm gonna keep it in my room, all year round. Last one is another melamine plate. SO CUTE! I got some with other monsters for my mom too.

I also got ghosty serial lights. The ghosts are very small and it's not a long one but, I want it for the coffee station next year so I think it'll be ok.

I wanted this bloody tumbler since I saw it but I'm glad I waited because I got it for half price. I would've loved if they had another color for the tumbler and just keep the blood part red so it could stand out a little bit more but, I still love it. They also had a slime green one, similar to the one Starbucks had before. I got one for my sister too.

I didn't have halloween glasses so this was my chance! I 'm not a big green fan but, they didn't have enough purple glasses. Still think it works. Can you believe I didn't get the one pink skull they had?


Last thing I got is this Nightmare Before Christmas tin thingy. It has 3 divisions so it's perfect to store different small things.

I have some tea in it for now, maybe I'll change it in the future. Idk.

And, that will be it for my Halloween shopping this year. The month went by way too fast and I was so not ready to let go of it, hehe. 
We still have 1 more Halloween post and with that, we will officially close the season. 

See you next time~!💋

Day of the Dead Haul 💀

 I think it is the first time I make a Day of the Dead haul. That's because other than pan de muerto and some candy at the Alfeñique Fair, I rarely buy stuff related to this date. Which is weird cuz I actually do like this holiday, I just don't decorate for it.

This year, between some presents and a few things I bought, I managed to put a small haul and decided to share it here because, it's new! Haha.

I'm going to start with a pressie. My mom gave me this Pan de Muerto candle that smells like chocolate, it's delish! And even tho it's a small candle, the smell fills up my room. I just love it.

This was a bit of a random purchase. Dia de Muertos toilet paper. The presentation was too cute to resist. Sadly, the paper itself doesn't have anything themed or different.

Here are the things I got at the Alfeñique Fair, sweets, sweets, sweets! LOL.

This skull cookies have a name but, I can't remember it right now. Anyway, I usually get these every year. My dad used to get them and like them a lot.

Cherry nougat candy. I usually buy the traditional one but this year this one caught my eye and, it's defo worth it. SO delish!

I got many of these chocolate skulls filled with different things.

These mint marshmallows were from a smaller Alfeñique fair I went to. They have grounded coffee beans. So, so good. 

There's nothing too exciting about this special edition rotini but, it's orange and it's Day of the Dead so, I had to get it. Hehe.

Lastly we have wax melts. I got a wax melter last month and I finally got some wax to melt there. I wanted pumpkin or Halloween  wax but, I couldn't find them anymore so, sugar skull it is. It smells nice, it's sweet. These were on sale at Walmart.

And, that's everything guys! My first Day of the Dead haul ever. I don't even know if we'll have another one next year, we'll see. 
I still have some Halloween posts coming, I wanna share them before it's officially Christmas season. And, in a way, I'm still holding on to spooky season, haha.

See you next time~!💀
