First Halloween pressies of the year! 👻

We're starting the best month of the year with some halloween / witchy pressies that I wanted to share with you as a way to officially start the spooky season.

The first gifts I'm gonna show you are not that recent, I received them back in August but I was saving them for Halloween season because they are super witchy.

First we have this super cool notebook that looks a lot like the Hocus Pocus book. It is made of fake leather which gives it a creepier look, hehe. Also, the brooch thingy is super cool. The pages inside are from recycled paper. I just love it so much! I think it'll make a perfect Halloween decoration piece but I also want to find a good way to use it. Any ideas?

Next is a silver moon charm. I think it gives strong witch vibes. The small ball thingy next to it kinda reminds me of a pendulum. They both glow in the dark.

Then, we have this purple "Hocus pocus" sign. For some reason I imagined it in my kitchen as soon as I received it so, it is now part of my kitchen halloween decor. I recevied this sign along with the trays last month.

Lastly, I received these 2 Nightmare before Christmas trays. Recently, Prichos came out with a very cute Nightmare before Christmas collection. I usually love classic Halloween colors and super creepy stuff but, for some reason, I love how they used pastel colors this time, hehe.

They are not that big but, they are perfect to put some snacks, cookies, small break in a very spooky yet cute way. 

And well guys, this is it for this mini pressies haul. Let me know if you are getting ready for Halloween or if you started the month living and breathing halloween.

I'll see you next time~!! 🕷

Back to school pressies!

My Summer break is officially coming to an end. It always feels like it's just not long enough hehe. These past few weeks I've had some meetings and trainings so, it's been exhausting! 

I wanted to share this with you because I think it was such a sweet detail and, it made my day.

I don't think I've talked about this in here but, I love my English coordinator. I started working with her last year and she's just great, she's a great guide and support and and you just learn a lot from her. To welcome us to the new school year, she prepared this type of basket (more like a tray) full of goodies for all the english teachers. I didn't check what the others received but, I really liked what she gave me. She didn't only include things we could use at work but also personal, cute things.

This is the basket she gave us last year. I didn't share it here but it had some tea, hand cream, stationery and other goodies.

This year my basket was super personalized, everything is pink! Hehe. She told me she picked the items thinking about the things I'd like.

Let's take a look at the goodies!

This is how the tray looked when I received it.

Flor de la paz chamomile tea. It is an organic tea and it's perfect for a very needed relaxing afternoon. Especially with this rainy weather.

She chose strawberry Tic Tac for me because, they were pink, haha. But, they are also my favs.

"Pink Paradise" Sensa Zen Dreams body mist. It's a sweet but floral scent with great durability.

For stationery, I recevied a pink Sharpie, cute paper clips and post it labels.

She also included some cute accessories!

This is defo one of my fav items here, a vitamin E Moist Lip Plump by Saniye.

Harajuku Lovers Lil' Angel mini perfume. It smells delish and it has the cutest size! Perfect to carry around with you.

Mini hand sanitizer wipes. They are always very helpful.

Bailey's chocolate and a cute badge that says: "The future is now"

And of course, the bin/tray thingy. It's a plastic pink one. I'm sure I'll use it for some organization around the house.

And there you have it guys, my back to schoo pressie. My brain is not ready to fully go back to work yet but, I don't have another choice, hehe. Someone's gotta pay those bills. 

See you next time~! ♡

Birthday Pressies 2023

June is here, half year is already gone and, just like that, I celebrated another birthday. Being a year older doesn't make me too happy but, I did have a very happy birthday weekend celebrating with my friends and family. I'm glad to have people around me who, in a way, remind me that age is just a number.

Anyway, as every year, I'm going to show you the pressies I receive this year. They are not going to be in a particular order and I won't go into much detail cuz I might share some of them in separate posts. So, let's do this!

I'm going to start with my cakes, they're too cute not to show:

The Blast cake was a chocolate cake by Chez Moi Reposteria and the pink, sakura one was a pancake like cake, filled with blueberries made by my sister. 

Now, let's move on to the non-edible pressies~

Dusty rose backpack. It is a medium backpack that comes with a small pouch and many compartments. I really love the color, especially because most of my bags are light pink. I think i'll be able to carry a lot in it.

Husbandos! We have a pretty cool Sasuke figure from S.H.Figuarts, he comes with different faces and hand positions to make different poses. Also, a super cute Tomioka Charamaru Mascot Badge. He's adorable!

Nana manga volumes 10, 11 and 12 ♡

I decided to put these goodies together in one pic. We have nail polish, a cute pink eraser and, some anime stickers.

Since I moved, I love to receive things for my house. I wanted these holographic glasses for a while now and I finally got them. They are really big and very 90s!

I think this M&Ms mug represents me 100%
"I don't want to be an adult today"

The holographic glasses also came with this organization baskets in pink.

As for clothes and accessories, I receive this funny yet cute tee that says: "At least my cat loves me", a really nice watch and super adorable bunny earrings.  

Close up to the earrings.

I rarely receive flowers so, it's exciting everytime I do. This baby bouquet of gardenias smelled soooo good!

Some yummies! We all know food, especially desserts and sweets, can always make me happy.

Some pressies from my students. They also gave me cookies but, I couldn't take a pic, we ate them all.

There you have it guys, my bday pressies this year. As always, I want to thank everyone who took the time to be with me or send me a mensaje and make my bday a special one.

| MINISO | Sakura Blossom Collection Haul🌸

Spring is almost here which means sakura season is getting closer and closer. We all know we love sakura goodies here so I was super excited when one of my friends told me Miniso would release the Sakura Blossom Collection. It is not a super new collection cuz they started selling some things last month but I haven't seen everything in stores yet. The things you find can also depend on the store you visit.

I do want to get as many things as possible but I also wanted to show you the few things I already have so, I guess we'll divide this collection posts into parts. Hehe.

Let's start~!! 🌸

First, I got 2 organizer boxes. They are made out of this kind of thin plastic material (dunno how to describe it) and they are foldable. The only down side of that is that they wrinkle easily. 

The only came in withe with pink flowers and, they are pretty big: 36cm x 26cm x 22cm.

The picture doesn't show but they also have pink handles on both sides.

I think they are great for storage and look cute at the same time. I defo want to get more!

Then I got another container thingy. This one looks like a small laundry basket. It is 18cm x 18cm x 20cm. They also had a bigger version but I didn't buy it cuz, I already have a laundry basket. I might get it later too tho~

It is made of the same material as the previous boxes but the print is sligthly different and the colors are a little stronger. I think it's prettier and less wrinkly.

Thing is, I already used the other 2 boxes but, I haven't found a good use for this one. Suggestions are more than welcome! Hehe. 

I also got face towels!

And I actually needed new ones. I was planning to buy them from Miniso anyway, cuz there's where I usually get them and, I was lucky enough to find sakura ones! They are 25 x 50cm, again, pink and white and they are super, super soft.

They come in a set of 2 towels for a very good price. 

Something I do want to mention is, the fabric is not really a towel fabric, it is polyester (not that I know much about fabric), but they absorb great!

Lastly I got the cutest headband!

I got the pink band with white flowers but, they also have a white one with pink flowers. Both were really pretty. This one is made of a thin, towel like fabric.

I love the bow detail!

I like it because it is not super tight like other headbands I have. (Yeah, I have many more). I basically bought it to use whenever I wash my face, apply a mask or even do my makeup. It is a very cute way to keep my hair off my face when I do it. Hehe. 

This is how it looks on

And well guys, this is everything I have so far, I'll make sure to show you if I end up getting more goodies anytime soon!

See you next time~!! 🌸

Haul | Pressies from California |

 

Long time no haul! 

I have some pressies I received from Sari's last trip to California that I want to share with you guys. Every time my dad and Sari came back from Cali felt like Christmas. ♡  

I'm planning to make separate posts about some of the things you'll see here so, I might not go into much detail.

Let's do this!

Coffee!

The pumpkin spice obsessed person in me was very happy to receive this Pumpkin Spice Ground Coffee from Joe Knows Coffee. Specially now that Starbucks doesn't have more PSL. I can enjoy my fav Fall drink for a longer time.

Hand creams

This very festive hand cream collection from Daisy Fuentes comes with 7 aromatherapy scented hand creams. The presentation is super cute! It'd make the perfect gift for a hand cream lover. Plus, they are always useful! 

The scents are: lemon sugar, peony sparkle, frosted coconut, shea butter, vanilla cream, candy apple and lilac frost. Haven't opened them yet but I'm really curious, I want to smell them! Hehe

Kitchen goodies~

This is something kinda new to me, a CookingLight 3 stage knife sharpener. It has 3 stages: coarse, Medium and fine and it comes with a handle, which makes it easier and safe to use.

I've never used one of these but the instructions look pretty easy. It even shows how to clean it.

And guys, it's pink! I love it! haha.

Accessories

This pink slipper socks are the softest thing ever! They are also perfect for the fall/winter season. I'm always wearing slippers around the apartment so, yeah. I'm already loving them. 

I left the best for last, a beautiful pink Jessica Simpson bag. Idk if you guys know but years ago, I was a huge Jessica Simpson fan and I really wanted to have something from her bags and shoes collections. It's exciting to have it even now, haha. I will go into more deets in a separate post soon. I kinda want to make a "What's in my bag" updated post. 

And, that is that! I love to make this kind of posts for some reason, hehe. I'm sloooowly trying to go back to my regular posts so, yeah. Hope you enjoy.

I'll see you next time~ ♡
