Marble Nails 🩶


Long time no glue-on nails!

Last year I tried these nails from a dollar-like store (Prichos) and they were actually pretty good. They keep coming up with different desings but nothing that had caught my attention until I saw these. Maybe it's because I haven't been into pastel nails lately, idk. But I really liked these marble nails along with the grey ones. They look really clean and beautiful together so, I got them.

Same as the previous set, they are squared nails, my favorites. The set comes with 24 nails and liquid glue. Which is pretty good for the price I paid for these nails. They last for about a week.

I like the fact that they are thin, they feel a little more natural somehow and they are definitely comfortable. Plus, it's easier to cut and file them if you want to. The lenght is pretty decent too, it allows you do things without worrying about the nails, which is something I always appreciate.

Even tho I liked the lenght, I did cut them a little bit, I thought they looked better like that, at least on my hands.

This is how they looked with the original lenght

And this is how they look after cutting them a little

I'm deffo gonna buy more if I find other cute designs. I'm also tempted to get more like these because, I really liked them.

See  you next time~!💋

My Updated Earrings Collection Part 3 | Miscellaneous Earrings |🩷

Here's the 3rd and last part of my earrings collection posts. At least for now. 

Today I'm gonna show you the earrings that aren't really silver or gold. My anime, characters and cutesy earrings. I'm sure this post is going to be shorter cuz I don't have too many. I honestly don't wear them as often as I should cuz, to me, they feel a little more themed and sometimes I feel like I need a specific occasion to wear them but, that's just me... hehe.

I realized all these earrings have been gifts.

Let's start with these beautiful strawberry knitted earrings. I love everything strawberry. They are longish and defo one of the most unique and original earrings I own.

One of my closest friends got me these leaf earrings on a trip, but I cant remember where she went. The camera didn't pick it but they have this iridescent finish that makes the color super pretty. 

I like to call these my "Daruma bunny" earrings. I'm not sure if they are Daruma but, they kinda look like that. They are super cute and the details on them are really good for how small they are.

I love Sanrio so, it makes sense for me to have a pair of My Melody earrings. She's one of my favorite characters and, same as the previous earrings, the details on them are pretty good considering their size.

Lastly, of course I had to have some anime earrings, especially Sailor Moon earrings. I haven't ever worn the longest pair tho. I should try wearing them for an anime convention or something~ 

I'll save the Halloween earrings for October so, we're done with the earring posts for now. I hope you found these posts interesting somehow. Let me know if you'd like to see more of the accessories I have around here.

 Here are my two previous earring posts in case you missed them and wanna check them out:

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~!💋

Squashed Raspberry 💅


Quick post to show you what's currently on my nails, it's the Flormar Full Color Nail Enamel in the shade "Squashed Raspberry" (FC13). This is an oldie that I think I haven't worn much. I was obsessed with this nail polishes years ago and I got many but I didn't share all of them here.



It's a bright berry red color that feels perfect for the Spring time. What I like about these nail polishes is that you don't need to apply too many coats to get a full, intense color. It has a shiny finish and dries kinda quickly.


Durability wise, it is ok. It lasts for about a week looking decent but it does need a couple of touch-ups here and there, especially if you do the dishes and stuff. Haha. 
I have more of these nail polishes in pretty nice shades, I might share more in the future.

See you next time~! 💋

My Updated Earrings Collection Part 2 | Silver Earrings | 🩶

Here comes the second part of my earring collection post I shared last week. Today I'm sharing my silver earrings. As I previously mentioned, I'm more of a silver accessory girl so here are some of my favorites and the ones I wear the most.

We're starting with some flower earrings, perfect for Spring. The ones with the cherry blossoms were a gift from my sister. The flowers with a pearl were grandma's, I actually bought those for her as a Christmas gift a long time ago. I don't wear them as often anymore. I bought the greish ones a while ago, don't rememebr the brand but they look really pretty when they're on.

These two are some of my oldest earrings. They were also part of the earrings post I made maaaaany years ago. I rarely wear the pink ones tho, they are pretty but sometimes I think they are way too long. I realized I also have to clean some of these earrings, they are super dirty, haha.

Here are more long earrings. These two I do wear a little more often. I especially love the heart ones. Those are from Forever21 (I believe) and were a gift from my mom.

These hoops have been with me since forever. I stopped wearing them for a while but I've been reaching for them often lately. They go well with everything~

Lastly, we have my small earrings. The pink cherry blossom ones are my most worn earrings ever, they are from AliExpress. Most of them are stainless steel, some were pressies, the butteflies and the rabbit in the moon are from Spain and... I don't remember where I got the rest.

And that is that for this earrings post. There's one more to come with "other" earrings, including some anime and random ones, I'm sure that one will be way shorter. 

I'll link my previous earring collection post in case you guys wanna check it out.

Halfway to Halloween 2025 Question Tag🦇

We are officially halfway to Halloween, it's the perfect time to share this question tag I've seen around on YouTube lately. It's not too long and it's a fun way to mark the date.

So, let's do this!

1. Are you a fan of haunted houses? 

I am! I don't go as often as I would want to because there aren't many where I live but, whenever I have the chance, I really enjoy them.

2. What’s your favorite ghost story or haunted lore?

I loooove ghost stories but I'm not sure if I have a favorite one. I was obsessed with the 一人隠れん坊 (one man hide and seek) urband legend for the longest time so I could choose that one as one of my favorites.

3. Do you plan on Halloween decor hunting this year? If so, what item(s) do you hope to find?

For sure! I hope to find useful yet haunted house style stuff, vampire related things (cuz I'm obsessed right now), more horror and Halloween movies merch and of course, vintage Halloween goodies. The nostalgia.

4. Candy corn: love it or hate it?

I think I'm in between. I don't love it, but I'd eat it. I can't help to feel excited when I see it tho, it screams Fall and Halloween. But I wouldn't say is my favorite.

5. Are you big into costumes and dressing up for Halloween? If so, what’s your favorite costume of all time? 

Yes, I am a big fan of dressing up, not only for Halloween. I feel like I haven't put that much time and effort on it for the past few years but, I should go back to that. I think two of my favorites are oldies.

The first one would be my zombie bride costume back in 2010 (OMG), I reused a wedding dress I made back when I was studying fashion design. I made it all bloody and dirty and loved the result. I still have it but haven't worn it in ages.

The other one would be this Little Red Riding Hood costume. I wore this dress sooooo much. I remember I even wore it as a pirate costume changing and adding some accessories, but this particular one is one of the favs. 

6. What is one activity or experience that is on your spooky season bucket list this year?

I want to go to more spooky attractions but they are not as common where I live. I also want to go to a graveyard, walk around, take photos and listen to scary stories while I'm there.

7. What book, series or movie screams HALLOWEEN to you?

In this case I'll focus on Halloween more than horror. Movies could be Hocus Pocus, The Witches The Nightmare Before Christmas (which is the perfect Christmas movie too), Beetlejuice, Practical Magic... you know, the classics. As for shows, I guess Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Wednesday, The Good Witch.

I'm not much of a reader but I'd love to read books that scream Halloween.

8. How do you typically spend your Halloween night?

It depends on the day so, there's not a typical way I spend it. Sometimes I have to work on that day and, if that's the case, I'd just watch some Halloween movies with seasonal snacks or drinks, other times I give away candy, last year we had a Halloween dinner so, it changes. But I always do something with my friends and family a couple of days before or after Halloween.


9. What does Halloween mean to you?

It's just my favorite time of the year! Everything feels more fun, more magical. I've always loved it but growing up was more like just a holiday and now, the older I get, the more I embrace and enjoy it because many of the things I like are related to Halloween. Plus I love to share it with people I adore, who are as enthusiastic as I am about it.


10. Tag your spooky friends! 

I tag anyone who wants to answer this. I'd love to read!!

See you next time~! ❤

My Updated Earrings Collection Part 1 | Golden Earrings | 💛

Back in 2012 (it's been a whileeeeee) I shared a post showing my earring collection. I've always loved earrings, I think I choose them as one of my favorite accessories and, I realized that, even tho I still keep some of the ones I shared there, the collection grew and, a lot has changed. So, I thought I could share an updated earring collection post. I don't really know if this will be interesting for you guys but, I'm doing it anyway, haha.

Since I don't wanna make it a super long post, I'll divide them in different posts: golden earrings, silver earrings, others and, Halloween earrings later in the year.

Today I'll start with my golden earrings, they are not all real gold tho. It's funny because I am more of a silver accessories type of girl but, somehow I have more golden pairs. Oh well~ 

Let's start with the small ones. Most of them came in a set I bought at a random clothing store except for the dark ball earrings (that I need to clean) and the pink hoops. The dark ball ones were a gift from the bestie a loooong time ago and the hoops were a teachers day gift.

Here are some of my Spring earrings. Surprise, surprise! Most of them are pink, haha. The white(?) flowers were a gift, the big, pink flowers are from Todo Moda and they were also a gift. The sakura longish ones are from AliExpress and the cute, round ones were also a gift. I love them all, I think they are super cute and perfect for the season even if I don't wear them just during Spring.

These are defo two of my favs. They are both from Todo Moda and I just love how sparkly they are.

Can you tell I love hearts? The pair on the left were waaaay more gold before, I still like them. I got them at a clothing store, but I forgot the brand. They are heavy tho.
The red hearts were a gift. I like how they can look like both, 🩷 &🫀

These are some of my longer earrings. The ones on the left were a gift made by my bestie's mom, I love the pearl color combination. Now that I think about it, I also love the colors on the other pair. Don't remember where I got those but, I really like them even tho I rarely wear them.

I wear these two often. The moon and star ones are from Spain, they are stainless steel and I couldn't help to think Sailor Moon when I got them. The Tous bears came in a set with a matching necklace and they were a pressie.

I think these are my oldest pairs, they both belonged to my grandma and honestly, I don't wear them often but I really love them. I kept the ones on the left because I used to think they had an Ah! My Goddess vibe to them. And the ones with the bow...I just think they are super pretty! (I have to clean them tho 😅)

And with that we'd close the first part of my earrings collection. Hopefully after going through them like this, I'll wear some of them more often. I really like all of them!

Here's my old earring post in case you wanna check it out. Earrings!

See you next time~!💋
