My Birthday Pressies 2025 🎁💜

We were fooling around with filters and thought this would be perfect for this post, hehe.

As every year, here's my birthday pressies post. My birthday was on a Tuesday this year so I celebrated before and after the actual day because of work. My first celebration was with my family, everything was too pink with spooky activities, perfectly matching my 2 personalities, hehe. We ate, drank a lot and had a great time. On my actual brithday we met for brunch and continued with our working schedules.

The next day, my boss surprised me with a cake at work so, we had another celebration with my coworkers and students, it was really sweet.

And to close birthday week, I met with my besties on Friday and Saturday for lunch and loooooong and very needed catch-ups. It was fun! Plus, I really missed them.

Now let's move on to what I recieved this year, starting with the cakes, of course.

Yum!

Moving on to the pressies, I'm gonna show them in no particular order:

I'm so not religious but, this was one of my favorites. Growing up I had some crosses and I used to wear them "the Buffy way" haha. I got rid of them with time so, it's kinda cool to have one again. And I actually love how it looks when I'm wearing it.

Part of my work is online so, the main idea of having these super pretty headphones is to use them for work, of course, that's not the only thing I'm gonna use them for. The sound is great and I think they make me look cool. A little...😅

Sakura socks! How cute are these? I love how the flower peeks depending on the shoes you're wearing.

Sakura cushion and air freshner(?). Cuz you know, I'm a sucker for everything sakura.

This year I also received these two, which was great because I'm kinda putting my office together and also trying to decorate my room. The white shelf is in my room now, it helps me to organize my stuff a lot bettet and decorate it at the same time and the chair is something I needed for work, the one I was previously using wasn't made for work at all and it was very uncomfortable, so I ended up working everywhere around the house but in the office. It's nice to work and have what I need in the same place now.

Cono Sur Bicicleta Merlot. It's a Chilean red wine I haven't tried yet. I really like the presentations and can't wait to try it!

Rangiku Matsumoto Funko Pop! Ain't she perfect? I think I'll dedicate a separate post to her, hehe.

Hello Kitty goodies can't be missed. The pen reminded me of my childhood SO much! The red candle smells like apples and it's delicious! Makes me think of Fall already, hehe. I also received a cute notebook, it has a great size to carry around and a hard cover, which I like.

The orange bag was made by my best friend's son, whom I adore, she put my pressies there so, it was extra special. Can't wait to wear all this pretty socks and let them peek out of my sneakers and stuff.

Yumsies, of course! ♡

The ceramic pieces were made by my bestie and they are defo going to be part pf my coffee station decor. 
I find the ring in the middle witchy and magical, love it!
The Usagi enamel pin represents me, haha.

I also received some Sasuke goodies, 😍 he's my love. It's my first Sasuke tee ever.

Here's a look at both sides of the cup. One side has Sasuke through the years and the other one has Naruto.

Lastly, we have this super pretty sakura mini bowls. I don't think the picture really shows how cute they are in person.

I'm gonna include this here too. My mom and sister prepared goodie bags for us the day of my celebration. Of course it had to have some soju 🤤

And with that, we close this birthday post. This month still feels difficult and I've felt a little emotional because of my dad but, I can't be thankful enough for all the love, surpises, celebrations and sweet messages I received. I'm truly lucky and spoiled. 

See you next time~! 💋

🍁 Pressies from Canada 🍁

At the end of January my uncle and aunt came over from Canada. They usually come every year and visit friends and family. We got the chance to spend some really nice time together catching up back in January and also during this month on a family weekend in Ixtapan de la Sal visiting grandpa, laughing and just enjoying each others' company. Grandpa was very happy to have two of his children together.

They also brought pressies with them and, of course, I want to share in here, hehe. I've mentioned this before, there's something I really like about making these type of posts🤭 so, here I am, sharing another pressies haul with you. 

First we have this cute pink pj's. They are super soft and warm even tho they aren't that thick. Love the color and the silver details on it. 

Second we have a car phone mount, which is something I really wanted and was planning to buy. Mostly because of the vlogging thing but I know they are a very useful thing to have in the car when you're driving.

Redcrest Cardinal Golf Club beanie. It is pretty warm and comfy, perfect for this cold weather. It is something I'll be wearing every year.

Mary Kay hydrogel eye patches. Love, love, love eye patches. This one comes with 30 pairs and they are pink and sparkly!  

Can you see the glitter?✨

Meeting again was a great way to start the year and the month. I love my pressies but I love the memories we made even more. Hope we can repeat this sometime soon! ♡

That's it for this pressies haul / chit chat. 

See you next time~!💋

| Pressies from Canada |

Earlier this month I met up with my friend and former Twitter RP Taichou who came for the Holidays. We ate sushi, drank a little and caught up for hours.

 I'm stealing his pics cuz, they were nicer than mine, hehe.

Sushi my love! 

And well, even tho he didn't have to, he brought some pressies. I'm spoiled! So I guess this will be the first pressies haul of the year. As I'm typing this, I already tried some of these goodies.

Let's do this! 

Favorite Day eggnog. I am a big eggnog lover, I think I mentioned this before but, it has to be one of my favorite Winter drinks. This one didn't have any alcohol but was pretty good. I shared it with my mom and sister because... that was the instruction from Taichou, lol.

Tim Hortons French Vanilla Cappuccino & Café Mocha. They are both good but I have to say, my favorite is French Vanilla. 💛
Each box comes with 8 sachets, you can make them with water or milk. I kinda like to use half and half so they can be creamy without feeling too heavy.

Starburst Fruit Chews. This sharing size bag comes with 4 different flavors: Strawberry (my fav), cherry, orange & lemon. They are soooo good and addictive! I'm failing at the "sharing" part cuz, I can't stop eating them. It's dangerous. 🤭

Halloween KitKat has to be one of my favorite things cuz you know how much I love Halloween! It makes it extra special! This one is Ghost toast flavor (love it), which is supposed to be a cinnamon toast flavored creme. 

And, my babies also received something! We have Sheba over here but, this is my first time seeing these Meaty Tender Sticks. Each package comes with 5 salmon sticks. Masha loved them of course and I'm still trying to make Sassy at least try them. She's a picky eater.

I'm super thankful for these pressies and the time spent even if it was pretty fast! Hope we can do it again some time soon. ♡

See you next time~!

My Christmas Pressies 2024 🎁

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. For me it was pretty good. Honestly, I think I enjoyed it more than other years. We had delish food, drank a lot and sang karaoke until 4:30am. We also built a gingerbread house for the first time. It was something I wanted to do since forever and, the time finally came. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be and I just loved how it turned out.

Obsessed!

Of course we exchanged some pressies and, that's why we're here. I'll share what I received this year cuz you know, it has kinda become a tradition around here, hehe.

Let's do this!!

I'll start with the pressies I received from my boss, she always spoils us.

From left to right: X-mas reusable cup with a cute topper, butter cookies and tequila Don Julio.

She also gave us this box with cute small soaps in holiday shapes. They smell really good.

I have to admit that since most of my classes are online now, I do kinda miss receiving pressies from my students. Maybe that's one of the few things I miss about working in a school.

The bestie gave me some Pop Tarts that I love so much. I got s'mores pop tarts and a cute sakura hand cream.

Mom gave me 2 sweaters. The first one is this pastel blue fuzzy sweater. It is super soft and perfect for this cold weather. I looooove the color.

The other one is this silver sweater. I know it is not the best pic but, I love the puffy sleeves, it is a cute detail to it.

My sister gave me this NERV hoodie. I'm a big Evangelion fan and I always wanted something like this. It is already full of cat hair in the pic cuz I already wore it. Oops, cat mom problems.
It is a little oversized, which makes it super comfy to wear.

Lastly, we have this Gilmore Girls fill in book. In this family, we are bog GG fans so, it was a cute and fun gift. 

Really bad and blurry picture but, my babies also received some pressies. 💖

And, there you go guys, my pressies this year. I also received other yummies but, I already ate them. 

This will be the last post of 2024. Thank you for taking the time to read my (sometimes) very random posts, thoughts and obsessions! 🩷

Hope we all have a happy and magical 2025! 🌠

Halloween Pressies 2024 🧛🏻‍♀️

October went by too fast but I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. I felt like I did many small Halloween things throughout the month with family and friends and closed it with a Halloween dinner on the actual date, that made me feel like I felt years ago when we would go out trying to drink as many seasonal drinks and go to different events every weekend in October. Things have changed a little but, it was still as fun. I can say I finally saw everything in a much more positive way after having a couple of difficult Autumns.

To wrap it up, I'll share with you the pressies I received this year. It felt like Christmas! Well, maybe even a little better, hehe.

I'll start with the one from my sister because it was the first one I received. It came in 2 parts, one in a classic Jack-o'-lantern and the rest in the black box under it. The pic is not the best cuz I took it before opening everything, I just couldn't wait but, you can get an idea of how everything looked like when I got it.

First, we have the Jack-o'-lantern bucket, with this cool bats orange paper and the big, furry spider. The spider found it's place in my decor right away and I love it!

In the bucket, she also included this wooden signs that are absolutely adorable! They came with some stands to display them. I kinda want to leave the Haunted House one all year, hehe.

And then we have some Beetlejuice goodies! I am obsessed you guys. This year Halloween was all about 90s nostalgia! I got a Beetlejuice plushie, a keychain and 2 pins.

I'm still not over this napkins. They are so vintage! I don't even want to used them ever!

How magical is this witchy candle? it has dry flowers, small pumpkins and a jack-o'-lantern charm you can keep after burning the candle. It smells like Jolly Ranchers haha, and it is defo something I'm gonna keep out all year round.

Lastly we have an amulet my sister made and fall socks! 🧡

Next we have the boo basket I recieved in the exchange with my friends, along with extra pressies from my other friend. We decided to include Halloween or seasonal candy in the basket and set a budget for it.

The "basket" was a green skull bowl, perfect for snacks filled with different types of cande. I started eating the candy before taking this pic so, not eveything was included.

My basket also had this bag full of candy. I received one last year too and I love them because they feel like the Christmas stocking Tutsi pop have every year but, in a Halloween version.

This were gifts my other friend gave me. She said she had to cuz she knows how much I love this season. I am obsessed with the spook-o-rama Milka chocolate. The presentation is way too cool! I also received a seasonal Paleta Payaso and a Jack-o'-lantern soap. The skeleton cat plate was sent by her sister. 

Closer look at the Jack-o'-lantern soap so you can see how cute it is. It smells good too!
I believed it was made by one of her students. She also sent my mom and sister soaps with other seasonal designs.
You can find more product here. They are handmade.

And well, since my friend is good with crafts, she made my name with halloween shapes! I love it and I'm also keeping this as an all year round thing.

On that same day we met other friends later and one of them gave us this cute Jack'-o-lantern plastic cups with some candy and some climbing plant seeds.

And lastly, Mom gave me this huge scented candle that, even tho it is not Halloween, there is something magical about candles. It is a berry - cardmon candle that smells delish! Plus it goes perfectly well with the colors I have in my house. It's my first time having a candle this big! I feel fancy, hehe. It also came with a chocolate pastry but, it didn't make it to the photo, hehe.

Of course I also made some Boo Baskets this year. The first 2 were for my family and the 3rd one for the exchange I had with my friends. I love making this things and I'm sure next year I'll try to make more for other friends too. I really put lots of love and effort in them. ⭐

It's sad that Halloween month is over but, it's still Autumn so, I'll continue enjoying my fav season with spooky stuff until Christmas is everywhere, hehe. Hope you had a wonderful October and a very fun Halloween!
