Hey guys! I'm super sorry that I haven't blogged for over a week now! Ugh, as much as I adore this time of year for the nature aspects of it... the pretty rust and ruby leaves also bring with them gloomy evenings, shorter daylight hours and for me, my arch nemesis, seasonal affective disorder. It's really common for this change in the environment to make people feel more tired and make their moods low, however for a lot of spoonies, this disorder makes it really tough to get through the autumn and winter months.
My regular readers will know that I suffer from insomnia and well, with SAD thrown into the equation, I'm in such a miserable place right now. I'm waking up most days at mid-day, after not being able to fall asleep until the early hours and then by the time I've fully woken up, had a cuppa and something to eat, taken my meds and my usual intense morning fibromyalgia pain has eased a little, it's then getting dark and dismal outside and my motivation to do anything productive has almost all but disappeared. This has made blogging such a challenge! I've had ideas for posts but have been incapable of putting together the energy to type it up. I feel a little ridiculous about it to be honest, and I hope that my lack of posts hasn't been too annoying for you guys! Last night, I managed to drift off to sleep earlier (at 3:30am ish still!) and so here I am, finally sharing something. Putting together today's post has actually cheered me up quite a bit; I mean, who isn't happy looking at cute stuff and making a wishlist!? Enjoy :)
1. Build A Bear Bulbasaur Plushie Yay! Build A Bear have finally released a Bulbasaur plushie for their Pokemon range, and I am so happy! This adorable plush is at the top of my wishlist right now and I'm seriously unimpressed that there's no Build-A-Bear workshop store closer to my hometown, or even in my hometown! I could order him online and get the online exclusive outfit, which is a super cute leaf-print hat & scarf set, but I just love the experience of shopping at the store. I will have to give in though I think and treat myself to an early Christmas present, especially since there's an offer online at the moment to save £10 when you spend £30!
2. Funko Stranger Things Mystery Minis Have you all watched the latest season of Stranger Things yet? Oh my gosh, it was so flippin' awesome! If you haven't, you neeeeed to get it watched right now! Since Stranger Things has been on my mind lately, I have a mighty need to acquire some merchandise and since I'm a big fan of blind box figures, I would love to get my hands on some of these mystery minis.
3. Funko Pop! Crash Bandicoot Figure I think I'm a little obsessed with Funko products, haha! I would really like to add this recent addition to the Pop! vinyl figure range to my collection. Crash Bandicoot was one of my favourite games growing up, and I love to own nostaglic things that remind me of happy times whenever I look at them :) I love Crash's cheeky grin on this figure too.
4. Harry Potter House Journal How gorgeous is this journal!? I was recently browsing around for some new geeky merch websites and I came across Geek Core. The first items that caught my attention were these very pretty Harry Potter house journals. They are so cool with their bold colouration and detailed flag patterned covers. Just look at those fancy house crests too! They are unfortunately pretty pricey for a notebook and I would never want to use it after paying that much; they are lovely nonetheless and I wish that I could afford to pay that for one notebook, but I thought I'd include them anyway! What's everyones Hogwart's house? Let me know in the comments :)
5. Q-Lia Bananya Sticky Notes Ever since I bought a Bananya mini plush from Tokyo Otaku Mode, I've been in love with this adorable character by Japanese company Q-Lia. How can you not adore a little cat sitting inside a banana? It's so random, haha! I love die-cut shaped sticky notes, and although there's not much space to write on these sheets... they are too cute and I just need them.
6. TokiDoki Pixie Unicorno Enamel Pin TokiDoki have some of the loveliest enamel pins and although this may sound like an excuse to justify why I want to buy one (or five!), I would love to see how good the quality and design is in person. I collect the Unicorno vinyl figures and my love for these wonderful collectibles has made me want to buy anything and everything Unicorno-related. Pixie is a gorgeous pastel coloured unicorn from the Series 3 figure collection, and until I can get the figure, this pin will do just fine :)
7. Sass & Belle Nori Cat Rug As most of you guys will know by now, I am in the process of decorating my new bedroom, well it's not a new bedroom but I no longer have to share it with my sister, and so I can make it my perfect little space which means lots of kawaii & geeky goodness everywhere! I've been searching for a small rug to go by my bed that suites my interests well, and I found this lovely cat rug from Sass & Belle. I've had my eye on several items from this shop for a while now. I'm so glad that this rug has been brought to my attention; I'll definitely be ordering it as soon as I can!
8. Eeveelution Vinyl Stickers For the last few years, after I attended my first Comic Con event where I bought my first ever vinyl stickers, I've been collecting more from different independent artists. For a long time, I didn't really know what to do with these stickers because they were too pretty to just stick on any old notebook or whatever, so they'd just sit inside a plastic wallet in my sticker drawer. Until I decided that when I looked for a new laptop, I would choose a black one and cover it with a variety of colourful vinyl stickers. Since I made this decision, I've been stocking up on more stickers in preparation. I recently discovered an artist's website called Blushsprout via tumblr, and these kawaii eeveelution stickers are my favourite things on there, although I want several other items as well! I very much like how every pokemon has a different facial expression and position, and I would love to have all nine displayed on my shiny new laptop!
