The Diary Of An Insane Bat Mom

Sailor Moon is often considered a starter anime for most people, myself included! I decided to honor my beloved series and manga by dedicating an entire room for my collection! When I originally moved in here, the spare room was going to be my office and collection room. Well, my collection grew and many figures from other anime series are now taking up residence in my living room! My house is being taken over by figures! Here is a sneak peak of my progress. I will update once I change things around a little. Please excuse the lighting, I will be working on that as well.   I ordered some lighting for my cabinets. As you can tell from the photos, the lighting isn't very good in this room! I also plan on re arranging my figures as well as do a deep clean of my cabinets. I am expecting a laptop as well as a small desk to arrive since I plan on doing all my studying/assignments here. I figured it would be the best place for me since I will be surrounded by things I love and make me hap

My Holiday festivities started when I was invited to my friend's birthday party earlier this month. It was a formal affair and since I lost a considerable amount of weight, I had a cornucopia of clothing to choose from! I decided on a simple black dress that had a small layer of tulle underneath. Once I tried the dress on, I immediately got Sailor Moon vibes and I was inspired! Here is a cute photo of me!  A gothic Moon Princess! Working part-time during this period has made the Holiday preparations less stressful. I got to make a lovely homemade tourtière  (meat pie) My father was French Canadian and I tend to miss him this time of the year. Being able to make this dish is an excellent way to honour his memory. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos but the pie is safe in my freezer and we are all excited to devour it on the 24th!  Considering Dad was French Canadian and my mom was an Anglophone, my dad tried to pass on some of his traditions to me when I was younger. Usual

  Usagi Tsukino, AKA Sailor Moon getting a bad test score (tuxedounmasked.com) As most of you know, I will be starting University next month and I am super excited to embark on the lovely (yet sometimes daunting)journey into the world of academia! Registering for your classes can seem scary but exciting and even a little confusing, all rolled into one! I wanted to share my experience in this process in hopes this blog post can help any first-time University students who are registering for their first classes! If anyone has advice, please hit me up in the comments! Again, this process can be daunting for any new student who is entering University and any tidbit of information is helpful! The Most Important Thing You Must Know - The University Won't Chase After You When I went to register for University and even after I signed my acceptance letter, I was bombarded with emails from the school with lots of information. A lot of it was for International students who are moving to my ci

 "...I'll state my case of which I am certain I've lived a life that's full I've travelled each and every highway and much more than this, I did it my way"  - Written by Paul Anka, performed by Frank Sinatra and Sid Vicious  I have written extensively on the subject of recently finding my own self-confidence, having goals and just simply living life my way! I want to expand on how I am making my life about me and the key moments that influenced this new way of life.  I am at a period in my life where I am making it all about me! I see the road ahead and no one is going to stop me from taking my chosen path. No one. I have come too far! When I was at work on Monday and stepped into the washroom to take a selfie because there is a beautiful full-length mirror in there, I admired myself. Lately, I have been dressing for myself. I wear my makeup for me. I am not doing it for a job so I can "look normal" or even to impress a romantic interest. I invested

Sailor Moon figpins have landed and I couldn't be more excited! While this is more of a lifestyle/creative writing blog, I do plan to occasionally post about grail figures I received. I know this isn't really a grail figure but I was super excited for my Sailormoon Figpin to come in! I know many anime collectors have Figpins on their radar, and I felt like a post would benefit anyone who is a crazy collector like me! I do plan on posting all new figure arrivals in my anime figures tab . I strongly recommend you check it out occasionally! So let's begin, shall we? What is a Figpin? Just like its name, it is a figure and it is also a pin! They stand about 3 inches tall. You can either wear them as a pin or you can display them like a figure. Each Figpin comes with a special stand for displaying them! I can personally say that the pin I received (Sailor Moon) is really well done. The paint is very vibrant and there are no inaccuracies. In fact, the pin is incredibly cute and

With a new year fast approaching, I am already looking back at 2022! I really can't help it! It was a crappy year for me but with a positive outlook, I realized this was a year of transformation. This period of change or evolution as I like to call it was long overdue and I am glad to be given the hard lessons I had to face. I am so happy that we have a month left of 2022 and I can look forward to bigger and better things next month when I start University and begin a new chapter of my life. So yeah, I am getting a head start at this new year, new me bullshit! Except, I am already a new me and I am quite happy with the woman I am today. It is thanks to the lessons I had to face over the past couple of months that made me the strong, resilient, high-value woman I am! Yes, I am having a feminist moment, bare with me! This year has taught me the importance of having goals , of looking inwards and asking myself "what is it that I really want? " and reaching for the stars. It
