What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

I love both of these, especially the ice/glacier blue one - I had to add more ribbon to the lacing on the back of the waist belt cuz it was too smol for me without it, but now it fits really well I look so pretty in it, the detachable sleeves were also included and really help complete the look! The dress itself and the sleeves fit really well without any alterations, my only other criticism is for some strange reason there was a label on the outside of the dress near the neckline at the front, that I ended up trimming off as the writing is in I assume Chinese so I didn't see much point in keeping it attached, the little bit of it that is left is completely hidden by the ties on the strap sleeves so not a big problem :) The deeper blue dress doesn't look quite like the picture but is still pretty, a good fit and makes for good more casual wear as it's shorter. I'm really happy w these and would buy from this store again - they even threw in a free petticoat and bracelet, I will need to either adjust the petticoat or lose a bit more weight before I can wear it as it's a bit tight on me, but I appreciate it anyway, the bracelet is nice but will need mending as one of the connecting rings of metal is broken, still rly glad to have gotten all that lovely stuff though! :)

2025 HAUL - JULY v2

Got some more items this past week. More are on the way next week (and one group may be the week after due to how slow Rarewaves can be).

#02: Ring Fit Adventure
Since sometime earlier this month I have started the long journey to lose weight once again and I've done various approaches including using the dumbbells and long walks. I have also revisited the cross-trainer once last Wednesday but I remembered the rather super slow paced experiences and I wanted to diversify so that I don't feel demotivated. While I've done a lot, I've not lost any weight just yet but one thing I did do is finally go out of my way to pick up Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure game for the Nintendo Switch.

The way this works is you have the ring component which you hold for most of the game plus a strap for your leg, each of these holds a Joycon. The game uses the motion controls for the various exercises you tackle, such as jogging and squats, and you can adjust the difficulty to fit your personal style. For me I picked the middle option and boy this game is pretty nuts on pushing you as far as it can. It's really good and its kept my heart rate around the 150 zone constantly, though my legs are knackered so my plan is to play this at least once a week (and maybe twice a week if my body gets used to it).

So early impressions are positive but best to do some early prep before you start this and the game does let you breathe so its not like you're under any time pressure during the process. Forgot to mention the exercises for a lot of the gameplay is basically turn-based combat.

I've been playing this on my Switch OLED instead of my Switch 2, but you can play this on Switch 2 but will require the Switch 1 Joycons for compatibility reasons.

Haul - Big Lebowski, Constantine & The Driver 4K Ultra HD.jpg

#03: The Big Lebowski, Constantine & The Driver
In town before I watched the new Superman film, I visited the HMV store to pick up more films for the 4K Ultra HD collection and make use of their 3 for £50 deal. It took a while to choose because some of the films that I wanted to get weren't in stock.

I left with The Big Lebowski, the 1998 film directed by the Coen Brothers (No Country for Old Men) starring Jeff Bridges (TRON) and John Goodman (The Flintstones), Constantine, the 2005 film directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) starring Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy) which is based on the DC comic Hellblazer series, and The Driver, the 1978 film directed by Walter Hill (The Warriors) starring Ryan O'Neal (Barry Lyndon) and Bruce Dern (Silent Running).

Anime Haul - The 100 Girlfriends Season 1.jpg
Anime Haul - Tales of Wedding Rings Season 1.jpg

#05: Harem Double Pack
Bought two more anime shows from Amazon UK, one of which was recently part of the Prime Day deals.

We have The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, the first season that aired in October 2023 adapted by studio Bibury Animation Studios and also one of my favourite harem shows of all time, and Tales of Wedding Rings, the first season that aired in January 2024 adapted by studio Staple Entertainment which I haven't seen but have been interested to check out for a while since the author of the manga wrote Dusk Maiden of Amnesia and To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts.
 
Some practical things - more gummy multivitamins, moist toilet tissue wipes and Original Source shower gel, apparently Evri attempted delivery of my big set of gel pens from Temu but I never heard them! :)

Didn’t so much receive these today, more like rediscovered them. My mum was cleaning out a cupboard and found a handful of boxes (with manuals) for some of my old GBA games. I still have the carts but thought the boxes were thrown out years ago. Pretty sure the two Pokémon ones alone are worth at least a couple hundred quid, if I ever wanted to sell them. 😅

My gel pens arrived and they are absolutely wonderful and glide smoothly across paper with vivid beautiful ink! Would def recommend the Languo gel pens they're really lush and so many colours, price point far more reasonable than the Sakura Gelly Roll pens :)

£94 and £97 Respectively if you took the cash option, £108 and £112 if you took a voucher, but you'd need to be careful as not everybody at CeX knows their game cartridges and what parts of the PCB are supposed to be populated or not (this is from experience since my copy of pokemon blue was rejected at my local CeX for having a missing component which wasn't meant to be on there to begin with)
 
I got My Love Story and Himouto from CeX and luckily they came in brilliant condition. My Love Story even came with the poster and slip cover! Narc is a film I love and have wanted on bluray so I'm really pleased to finally own it.

I upgraded my PS4 copies of Resi 2 and 3 to the PS5 versions as they were on sale. Neon Blood was one I took a risk on, I had only seen a couple of reviews of it before buying but I am glad I picked it up. It is one of the best looking "pixel art" games I have ever played.

Deliver at all costs is a really fun little arcade type title that reminds me a lot of the Destroy all Humans games which is definitely a good thing. I was in the mood for a new cozy game and I love trains so Loco Moto seemed perfect. I haven't played it yet but I definitely will soon.
