Sakura House Haul 🌸

I've made other sakura hauls in the past because, I am a sucker for everything sakura. This could've been the perfect Spring haul but it took me forever to put it togehter and, Summer is basically here now. Oh well~ I'm sharing it anyway. This time is all about house stuff; random, small house stuff. Some of the items here were pressies and I bought others, I've been collecting them for a few months now so not everything is available in stores anymore.

Let's start! 

I honestly don't know if this was something I needed but it's a sakura funnel and I didn't have one so, I got it. Guess it'll come in handy one day, haha. I got this one from Prichos, which is like a dollar store. Even tho I bought it at the beginning of the year, I've still seen it in the store. 

This was labeled as a flower pot but I got it thinking it was a popcorn bucket thingy or something like that so, that's what I'm using it for. It has a perfect size for individual snacks and the material feels pretty strong. This was also from Prichos as part of the Mother's Day collection the had this year.

Next we have this cute tin my sister got for me. I have a similar one with butterflies and blue flowers and honestly? They make a very cute item to put some tea bags, candy and other small goodies. This is now on my coffee station with some tea inside.

This next items are from a Chinese department store.

I fell in love with these bowls as soon as I saw them. They had it in blue too and I regret not getting it too. They have the perfect size for rice. I'm sure I'll get at least 2 more if I find them next time I go to that store.

This might be the most irrelevant and random item here but, it also has sakura flowers so, yeah. It's basically a kitchen cloth but it absorbs water just great. The were sold individualy and only had this color but, I regret not getting more. It's become one of my favorites.

I already showed these in my Birthday Pressies post but, I'll include them here too. These were a gift from one of my friends. I believe they were candle holders but I want to use them as sauce or dessert bowls. They are very, very pretty in person.

And, I think that's everything I wanted to show you. I feel like I don't make as many house hauls as I thought I would. Maybe I'll start sharing a bit more, let me know if you'd like that.

See you next time~!💋

Spooky Haul🦇

I know we're not that close to Halloween yet but, It's Friday the 13th so I thought this mini haul would be a fun way to celebrate the day, hehe.

I bought these things last month but it took me a while to share around here. I got everything from different stores and ended up collecting a couple of things without realizing it.

I'm gonna start with these makeup bags from Temu. I found them by accident and knew I had to get them cuz I thought they would be perfect to keep pads or tampons since they say Vampire Teabags. Do you get it? Lol.

I got one for me and a different one for my sister. I have mine in my bathroom and I just love how it looks there. 
I forgot to take a pic of the one I gave my sister but, it's this one. They had other designs too.

Next I got some Halloween nails. These were for sale cuz they were from last year’s collections, they were super cheap. I won’t go into many details here, I’ll wait until I wear them to do it.

I got two Love These Glow Tips from L.A. Colors, apparently they glow in the dark. The purple ones are called “slim-slimy” and the white “lovely bones”. How cute are these names?

The others are from imPress, this brand always has the cutest designs. They were a little more expensive than the L.A. Colors ones but, they quality and design is obviously better. I didn’t realize until I started writing this post that, these glow in the dark too. Honestly, these are my favorites and I can’t wait to wear them.

I don't like sparkling water on its own but I couldn't resist when I saw this Liquid Death sparkling water, I grabbed one as soon as I read "Murder Your Thirst". I just loved the whole concept they have. 

From the presentation to the way they describe the product. I was sold! All the details in the can are fun and perfect. Checking their website I saw they have flavored sparkling water and iced tea that could be a little bit more attractive to me. I'll see if I can find them in the future.

And lastly, I got some candy. There's a store where I can find some Halloween candy all year round and that makes me really happy. It's fun to have some spooky sweets every season.

And, that's it you guys! I might share more spooky hauls like this in the future while we wait for Halloween season. I decided that I'm not gonna wait til October to share some fun, spooky stuff. Especially because I'm always in the lookout for Halloween and horror related stuff.

Happy Friday the 13th!! 🔪

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Haul

A couple of months ago I told you guys I started re-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and shared a very old haul. I'm currently rewatching season 6, which has to be my favorite season ever so, yeah. I'm living my Slayer era all over again. (That's my way of saying I'm beyond obsessed rn, haha).

In this haul I'm going to show you 2 things I received as pressies and some others I got from Temu. I'll start with the pressies because they arrived first, hehe.

I'm sharing this one first because, I love it way too much!

Back in March, my sister gave me this Spike blanket that has to be one of the best gifts ever for an obsessed person like me. It has a great size, it's soft and, it's got Spike on it. It's perfect! I don't sleep with it tho, I like to keep it in the living room and use it whenever I'm watching TV or to cover my legs when I'm working. I've been trying to keep it away from my cats cuz I don't want them to ruin it.
I know it's a really bad pic but, I didn't know how to show you the whole blanket and take a nice pic of it at the same time.

This next one was also something my sister gave me. It's a Buffy & Spike drawing we really liked (honestly, I don't know who the artist is) so she printed and framed it for me. I love all the details in it, the pictures on the fridge behind them, the fact that she's drinking coffee and he's drinking blood, the stakes and jacket on the table... everything! 

I love this picture so much that I also have it as the wallpaper on my phone but it's way better to have it physically in my room. You know, I love #Spuffy forever.

The next things I'm gonna show you are all from Temu, I know they are not official but, I love them and I found them for a very good price. 

Of course we have more Spike! I found this type of metal sign thingy and I had to get it. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use it to decorate my room or my office. The size is pretty decent: 30.48 x 20.32cm and even tho it is not super thick, it doesn't feel weak or cheap.

Another thing I ordered was this purple cushion cover. I liked it because even tho is from the show, it is not super obvious. Originally I wanted it for my living room but, since I'm trying to give more love to my room, I might have it on my bed... idk yet. It was actually bigger than expected, 45 x 45cm, which is not bad at all but, I clearly didn't read any of the information given. The fabric is soft, it has the print on both sides and I love the fact that is I can just throw it in the washing machine whenever I need to wash it.

These two just hanging on my living room for now~

Last thing I got from Temu is this enamel from BTVS season 5 episode "Hush". This episode is really good and actually creepy and the pin is a nice thing to remember it. Haha. Plus, I'm kinda starting a pin collection and I had to add a Buffy one.

And, that's it for now you guys. I know these are very random things but, they make really me happy. 

See you next time~!💋

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Old Haul + Chit Chat 🧛

Super unrelated picture of me rocking my dark circles era 😅

Back in January I started rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer thanks to my sister. It was one of our favorite shows growing up and we shared the love with my cousins. We’d even play to BTVS, try to dress like the characters and knew the Once More With Feeling songs by heart. Of course I've watched the 1992 movie with Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry, I liked it but I fell in love with the whole thing when I started watching the show.

And of course, Spike has been a big crush of mine for the longest time now, I know, I know, he was very toxic but, he's was a vamp, most of them are like that. Right? Plus he had a loving, caring side too. I just think James Marsters is one of the sexiest men ever, even if he is old enough to be my dad, hehe.

I just can't. ❤️‍🔥

Once the revival thing was confirmed, many people started sending me the links to the announcement and I even shared the excitement with one of my cousins. I’m kinda looking forward to see what they do with it but, I’m specially excited about seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar back as Buffy. She’s defo one of my fav characters ever.

To continue with my excitement, I thought I could share an old haul around here. A mini haul of BTVS old goodies I still keep and add 1 item I recently got.

I'll start with the oldies cuz there's something super nostalgic about them and I love them so, so much. It was veeeeery difficult to find Buffy goodies back then, at least where I live. And I guess if there was something, it was probably expensive. I'm glad I kept what I had.

The first thing I'm gonna show you is my BTVS magazine. It is from 2003. OMG. I didn't know these existed until I went to Canada and saw them. I believe it was a monthly magazine but I only got one. I didn't read it back then, or at least I don't remember doing it, I was just focusing on the photos. I did read it at some point. The magazine shared news, interviews with cast members, merch and some behind the scenes stuff.

Front & back cover

It came with this poster.

Next is something I also bought in Canada. It is my BTVS Mini Lunch Box Tin with bubble gum. The bubble gum was super cute because they were mini stakes, can't remember the flavor though. I remember my cousin was helping me to find them in a better price cuz they were expensive. I regret not getting the Spike + Buffy one but, I'm happy with the one I have.

                              

Lastly we have the BTVS Once More With Feeling Official Soundtrack which incliudes all the songs from the musical episode with the same name. My sister & I would watch this episode over and over again until we learned all the songs and dialogues and, at some point, my dad bought us the CD. Then, that was the one on replay. So I guess this wasn't only my CD but I kept it so, yeah. I still know all the lyrics to the songs, it has to be one of my favorite musicals ever.

I used to have a couple of comics too but I really don't know what happened to them, I only have 2 posters that came there. I'm including them here too. 

Now we'll move on to my newest addition.

I am team spuffy forever, that's why I knew I had to get this cap as soon as I saw it. It's perfect! I found it on Temu. Quality wise, it's ok. I wish it was embroidered instead of printed but, oh well. It still looks cute. I got a black one for my sister too because, she's also a Buffy + Spike fan. 


That's all I have for now but, I've been checking some stuff online so, I might make another Buffy haul in the future.
Tell me if you ever watched the show, if you liked it and who was your fav? I'd love to know!

See you next time~! 🩸💋

Valentine's Day Haul 💖

Even tho I said Valentine's Day is not one of my favorite holidays, I do like the aesthetic of it, you know, pink and hearts everywhere. And even tho I don't decorate my house for Valie's Day like I used to many years ago, I still like to buy things to keep as all year round decoration. Everything I got this year is from Walmart. 

Let's get started with the haul.

First, I got this small wooden chalk board. Do I need it? probs not but I think it's cute. I can just write random phrases and put it pretty much everywhere in the house.

This has to be one of my favorite pieces from this haul. It's a ceramic vase with hearts all over it. I loved this one because it doesn't scream Valentine's day, especially because of the colors.

I've seen this small bowls every year and I finally decided to get them this year. They come in a set of 4, they are pastic and great for snacks, dessert or side dishes. They also had them in red but, you know me, I had to get the pink ones.

Maybe these do scream Valie's Day a litte but, I really like conversation hearts, they're too cute. Plus, most of my kitchen cloths and towels are pink anyway.

La Moderna Valentine's Day red pasta. I haven't even made it yet but I loved it when I saw it. It'd be perfect for Halloween too! I think of it as "bloody pasta" haha. I've bought other colorful pastas from this brand before and, they're good. They make them with natural food coloring, in this case beetroot. 

Lastly, I got these stainless steel straws for sale only a couple of days after Valie's. I loved the fact that they have a heart shape, it gives them an extra something. I kept one and gave the other to my mom cuz she always likes to use straws.

And that's it for this year's Valie's haul. I'm not sure if I'll end up buying more things next time I go cuz they already have the cutest strawberry goodies for Spring and... I'm a sucker for strawberry everything. Hehehe.

See you next time~! 💋

Pink Ranger Haul + Chit Chat 🩷

This is going to be a chit chat with a small haul kind of post… we’ll see what happens. 😅

90s nostalgia is a big thing for me. Everything that belongs to my childhood or represents it, has a very, very special place in my heart. That's why I love throwbacks and walks down memory lane so much.

Usually, on my breaks I do general cleanings, to get rid of the things I no longer use, I give them or throw them away, depending on the condition. This last break wasn’t the exception. But doing this also helps me find some other things that were stored and I forgot I had. This makes me remember things and obsess with others all over again. 

In this case, I realized I had enough things to make a haul (5 seems like a good number of items to me) of a character I've loved since I was a little girl and represents something I really, really like, the color pink. 

Yes, we all know by now I am a big pink lover and I'm proud of it. My life might not be pink but most of the things around it are. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl and that is something that hasn’t changed with time. 

There is definitely a "pink girl stereotype" and I think some people have this idea that if you like pink, you’re not someone to be taken seriously, that you might be dumb, extra sweet or suuuuper romantic which is defo not my case. Yes, I think it can be a very girly color and I love that because I am girly. It's just my happy color!

Growing up I loved Legally Blonde so much (I wouldn’t call it my favorite movie now but I still like it) and even some of my students gave me the nickname “Miss Pinky”, so it was only normal my favorite Power Ranger was of course, the Pink Ranger. 

And that is what I want to show you guys today, some of the Pink Ranger stuff I have which are mostly clothes and a couple of goodies. I used to have more things tho, like an action figure that came with a mini Kimberly, that was the size of a Polly Pocket but I lost it at some point in life. 

I was a big Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fan, especially the first generation(?). Amy Jo Johnson will forever be my favorite Pink Ranger, I still follow her to this day. I think I stopped watching the show as often after she left. Despite what people might say, I also enjoyed the 2017 movie where Naomi Scott played Kimberly. After that movie, I started following her career too. 

I can't with the awkward poses tho

Anyway, enough with the rambling, let me show you the small Pink Ranger haul.

I'll start with some clothes (excuse the colo change in the photos😅):

I bought this tee a couple of years ago, when they celebrated the MMPR 25th anniversary. I love everything about it. I believe it was from Optima. I was surprised they had some PR stuff.

Ok, this might not be Pink Ranger but it's still pink and Power Rangers so, yeah. I don't remember if this one is also from Optima or if it's from Cuidado con el Perro. I don't know if you can tell, but this one has some blue stains on it, I wore it during a paint ball war thing with my students on children's day and sadly, I havent been able to completely remove them, no matter how much I wash it.

This hoodie has to be one of my favorite hoodies ever. It is from Quiubolee! and I was a Christmas pressie from the bestie a couple of years ago. It is the softest, warmest and most comfortable thing ever. I wear it a lot.🩷

I'm not sure where this small articulated figure is from cuz I randomly found her in a garage sale and I couldn't leave her. She's too cute!

Lastly we have this really nice notebook I found at Walmart. They had some of the other Rangers too but I only got this one. It is pretty plain inside tho, I wish they could've added a design or something too but, oh well. I haven't used it yet, I always tell myself I need to find something cool for it. Any ideas?

Those are all the things I could find, I'm not sure if I'll find or buy more in the future. I used to have a black tee with all the Rangers but, I gave it to my sister cuz she also loves Power Rangers and she didn't have anything.

Hope you enjoyed this long and random chit chat/haul kind of post. I know for sure I love sharing these type of things around here, hehe.

See you next time~! 💋
