Witchy Haul 🔮

I don't think I've ever shown you this broom I got last year, I'm absolutely obsessed with how pretty it is. Even if it's not part of the haul, I wanted to share it here. The lucky Witch was a souvenir I brought back fom Alcalá del Jucar in Spain back in 2019.

 I've always loved Witches and everything magic related and along with my recent spooky purchases, I've gotten some witchy looking things cuz I want to incorporate some magic into my house too. So I decided to share them in a different post because... they are not really spooky.

Let's take a closer look at these magical cuties!

I love magnets, I love to have my fridge full of them along with some pics, I am that person. And of course, I want to add magic to it too, so I got this cute tarot card from tattu. They had lots of 90s magnets, movie magnets, all that fun stuff. I only grabbed this and a Child's Play one back in July at this random bazaar and, I love them. 

This was a cute random find at a Chinese store. I've liked Sanrio characters for years and, even tho  Kuromi is not my all time fav, I still like her a lot so, I couldn't resist when I saw this Witch Kuromi sheet mask. How cute is it? I haven't used it and I'm not expecting it to be super good but, it's a fun thing to have and wear on a self care spooky night.

This metal sign was part of the things I got for my coffee station upgrade. I decided I won't wait until Halloween to have certain things on display all year round and, this is one of them. It is orange, which is not my favorite color but, I love everything about it. This one is from Temu.

Black cat + magic elements = perfect! I love cats so I knew I wanted this one for my room. I've been trying to give it some love cuz honestly? I kinda neglect it and it's one of my least favorite places in my house. The shelf was smaller than I thought and I really haven't put anything on it cuz I don't know what to decorate it with but I still think it's pretty cute. It is from Temu too.

And then again, these 2 are from Temu. When I got them, I thought I was only getting one, receiving two was a very nice surprise. They are suncatchers with the phases of the moon. I think they are soooo pretty and the quality is pretty good, the glass pieces are heavy and the golden moons are made of wood.

I have one hanging from my bedroom's window and the other one in the livingroom.

Lastly we have some glue-on nails, we al know I'm a fan by now. I wouldn't say these are 100% witchy, cuz they could be like "galaxy nails" too but, to me they look magical and that's enough to share them in here. The pic doesn't show much but, they dark blue with small stars.

And that will be it for this haul, as always I hope you enjoyed taking a look at some of the new goodies I've gotten for me and my place. I know I've shared many hauls lately but, I can't help it, I keep collectings things I want to share with y'all.

See you next time~!✨

🔖 Recent Reads: Dystopia Utopia Gothic Fantasy Short Stories

And here we are, with my second book of the year! I know for some that is not much but, for me, it really is. Especially considering how thick this book was.

 Dystopia Utopia Short Stories by Flame Tree is a book my friend lent me a while ago cuz she thought it'd have horror stories, I remember I started reading it and stopped after starting the second story but I decided to continue reading it back in February and actually finish it this time.

The Beetlejuice bookmark has nothing to do with the book but I used it while reading it and, I am obsessed with it.

According to the internet, this book is packed with bleak and paradisiacal visions in equal measure. Adventures in worlds of boundless imagination from classic authors are cast with previously unpublished stories by exciting budding contemporary writers. Honestly I don't know much about writers in general but, you can defo see the different styles they all have as you read their stories. 

Only a few of the many authors in this book.

 It's supposed to bring together myths, folklore and modern fiction with suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery. To me, it felt a little more science fiction and apocalyptic to be honest, which are not my favorites. It includes 30 different stories, not all of them are short tho. Somehow I found some of the shorter stories more interesting than the super long ones, some of them got tiring at some point. Not saying they were bad, they were just not my type of story. Plus, the longer stories sometimes had like... old words, which made them difficult to read or understand.

It doesn't come with any kind of illustrations but the way each story is presented is really pretty as well as the book in general. It is beautiful! All black with gold and silver details, I'd defo put it somewhere people could see it if it was mine.

All in all, I wouldn't say it is a bad book. I didn't love all the stories but, I did enjoy reading it til the end. I saw they also have Chilling Horror Short Stories, Chilling Ghost Short Stories and Murder Mayhem Short Stories (among others), I think those would be a little bit more for me.

These are some of the stories I enjoyed the most. Of course they were not the only ones but, I couldn't remember all the titles, hehe.

I've felt a lot more motivated to read this year, I already have some options for my next read, it'll be a shorter book for sure so, I'm sure I'll be back with another book post soon-ish. Feel free to send me some recommendations, I feel like I'm just discovering the type of books I actually enjoy reading. 

See you next time~!💋

Loungewear Haul

I rarely post about clothes around here, and it has defo been a while. Last month I received some loungewear from my mom and sister and I thought it would be a little different, even if it's still a haul. Hehe.

So, I know it's Summer right now but the weather has been cold and gloomy lately so, this clothes make sense to me right now.

I love comfy clothes, especially when I work from home so I've been enjoying these pieces a lot. I took the photos in different days, different hours as I started wearing them. That's why they are all different, plus I am the worst when it comes to taking clothes pictures... so ignore that and, my awkward posing. With that being said, let's start!

I really like this sweatshirt, it is from a brand called Hem & Thread and it has this not too crazy tie dye in this almost aqua blue color and cream. (I suck at describing colors). The fabric isn't thick but it's still warm enough to wear on a cooler day. I love the knot detail at the bottom, it gives it a sublte girly touch.

I really like this one, super comfy and pretty cute.

Ok, turtlenecks are not the most flattering on me but, I do like to have them to wear them under other pieces when it gets really cold. This one is a very light cream one, super easy to match. It is slightly loose and very long too. It's from a brand called H2H.

It is a little see through tho, and I honestly don't think I'd wear it like this but, I had to so I could show you.

The next piece is this mauve pink cardigan from Phil Love. It isn't super thick but it is warm enough. I think it'll be perfect for the Fall.

Since I was already wearing the turtle neck, I decided to pair them to show you how the cardi looks. It is very long but comfy. I really like the color.

I've become a huge fan of this maxi sweatshirt from Doublju. The camera didn't really capture the color that great but it's this really pretty pistachio green. It's long enough to wear as a dress. It's not super thick tho, so you can layer it for colder days or wear it alone during warm ones.

No makeup me, hi!
As you can see, it goes all the way down to above the knee. It's super comfy!

And, we have more tie dye! These pants are from a brand called Enti Clothing and they are the softest and most comfortable thing ever! Even tho I always find printed pants a little difficult to match, I love their color combination.

They are not very thick but the fabric is soft and warm. Super comfortable to wear around the house.

This piece fromThe Free Yoga is the most girly piece of this haul. It's a light blue, spring, cardigan kind of thingy. It has short sleeves but it's thick enough to keep you warm on a not-super-cold day.

It only has two front buttons, it kinda reminds me of the blouses that were trending back in the 90's. I'm really not confident enough to wear it alone so, I had to wear something underneath but I think wearing as it is would be a super cute look on someone else.

Lastly we have (surprise, surprise) another pair of tie dye pants. They are very similar to the ones I showed you earlier but way baggier. They are from a brand called Chris & Carol, then again, super soft and comfy. I wear them as pj's.

Pj's pic!

And, that's everything guys, I think by now the only piece I haven't worn yet is the turtleneck cuz it hasn't been that cold yet. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with all the pieces, they really are super comfy!!

See you next time~!💋

Horror Movies I've Watched Lately

I still have some shows and movies I want to share around here so, here we are again, with another recommendations post, hehe. This time will be all about horror, my fav. I'm only including the ones I did like and enjoy but, I've also watched some that were defo not good, I don't know if you guys would be interested in those too. Let me know!

Let's start!

The Substance

"Fading actress Elisabeth Sparkle becomes distressed when her chauvinistic boss fires her from her aerobics show. She soon injects herself with a mysterious serum that promises a younger, better version of herself, but things go horribly wrong."

It took me a while to watch this movie but, it was totally worth it! I'm sure most people have already seen it but, I still wanted to include it here, just in case.

I thought it was great, gross and very true to today's beauty standards. I have to say tho, I didn't love the ending, there was something missing. But that's just me. 

P.S. Demi Moore looks stunning in this movie, I mean, she's always been gorgeous but, yeah.

The Fly

"A scientist creates a teleportation machine and decides to test it. However, a fly enters the machine and their genes get spliced. Gradually, he finds himself transforming into a grotesque creature."

This was a recommendation I didn't expect to like, hehe. It's an old one (1986) but I have to say it surprised me, I ended up enjoying it a lot. It was a nice surprise to see Geena Davis there. It has a couple of gross scenes but nothing too difficult to watch.

While I was looking for this movie I saw other movie with the same title but I not sure if they are sequels, remakes or what.

The Monkey

"When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tears their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing the estranged siblings to confront the cursed toy."

The Monkey is a 2025 horror - comedy movie that I surprisingly enjoyed. I'm not a big comedy fan but this one kept me entertained. It's based on Stephen King's short story, so I'm sure many people love it. Even tho it's not a scary movie, I recommend it if you like dark comedy.

Late Night with The Devil

"In 1977, Jack Delroy, the host of a failing late-night show, decides to film a Halloween special. However, the broadcast takes a dark turn, unleashing evil into the nation's living rooms."

This one was also a recommendation that I ended up enjoying more than I thought I would, especially because of how different it is from other moves I've seen. It makes you feel as if you were really just watching an old talk show from the 70's before all the action happens. It's very well made. Then again, not scary but, worth watching.

The Grudge (Netflix)

"The movie follows events in 2004 to 2006 in a small Pennsylvanian town. Nurse Fiona Landers brings the spirit from Japan to America."

For some reason I keep finding movies that are related to The Grudge I didn't know existed. I found this Netflix one when I was looking for the Sarah Michelle Gellar one. It is from 2019 and, I wouldn't say it's the best Grudge movie because sometimes it gets weird and confusing but, it isn't the worst. Seeing John Cho there was a nice surprise. 

The Others

"Grace moves into a new house with her children in Jersey. However, when inexplicable events start to take place at the residence, Grace becomes convinced that the house is haunted."

This is the only rewatch I'm including this time. I watched this movie in theaters when it came out back in 2001 and loved it. Watching it again, it did not disappoint! It is still as good as I remember. Defo one of my favorite movies.

And, that's it guys! As I'm typing this, I've already watched and re-watched many more horror movies so, I guess I'll be sharing more next month. As always, let me know if you've watched some of these and feel free to send me some recommendations!

See you next time~!💋

Spooky Haul (More like a bats haul )🦇

I feel like I should call this a "bat haul" cuz I've been a little obsessed with bats lately and most of the things you'll find here are bat related. 

I've been collecting a couple of things for the past few weeks and decided to share another spooky, halloweeny haul while I wait for my beloved October. 

I'll start with all the bat stuff, everything is from Temu.

First is this bat wing lip balm holder. I didn't even know there were lip balms holders out there! (That's how it was described but, I've seen other sellers describing it as a lighter holder so, Idk) They are the cutest! Honestly, it's not too big so you can only put a very thin lipstick or lip balm but, since it has a ring, you can also hang it from your bag or with your keys and it makes a pretty cute charm. It's made of faux leather and even tho it's pretty simple, the details on it are very well made. I'm in love with it.

My bag has seen better days but, I wanted to show you how the bat wing looks hanging from it.

This was one of those extra things that you add to your cart to reach the free shipping, hehe. But I do like them. They are small heart earrings with bat wings. They are supposed to have this "old silver" kind of look. They are pretty and simple. Different from the other bat earrings I already have. They also had them in red, I might buy them next time, they could be perfect for Valentine's Day.

I remember seeing something similar in an anime convention a while ago and, I really liked them, but I never got one. This time, I couldn't resist. It is a bat hair clip and I was actually impressed with the quality. It's made of metal and it's a little heavy. The details on it are pretty good too. Of course it's not going to hold a lot of hair but it looks really pretty in a half updo. Plus, it's a subtle way to add something spooky to an everyday outfit.

❤

These silicone covers came together, I kept the bat and gave the skull away as a pressie. They are very, very cute and I have others on my wishlist too, I think they would make a very cute gift complement. The size is good, it was slightly big on the straws I have but, nothing too bad. They had a ton of different colos to choose from.

Moving on, these two last things aren't from Temu.

I found these cute Nightmare Before Christmas bag clips at one of my fav dollar-like stores, Prichos. The set came with two identical Jack faces so, since they had 2 different designs, my sister and I decided to get both and exchange so we could have both faces each. They are fun, cute and also useful.

I was veeeery excited when I found these! Especially this early in the year. I love Oreo so the fact that they were Halloween popcorn with these cookies made it a must try for me.
They definitely taste like Oreos and they are good but, they are way too sweet! Even for me, and I love sweet! Would I buy them again? Definitely!

How cute are these? My black cat bowl felt like the perfect one to use when I tried them.

And, that's everything for this haul. This has become a monthly thing now and I just love it. I'm sure we'll have another one next month so, yeah. 

Until next time~!🖤
