Stuff!

Posted on March 23, 2013 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey,

As Im a little out of touch with the current lingo I need to get myself back up to date with the current trends of Japan.

Don’t get me wrong I know about the latest fashion, games and anime. But just maybe have been watching a little bit to much anime?? (If there is such a thing!)

Meaning I’ve hidden myself away from the world pretty much 90% of the time. Kinda been getting my Otaku on… However I shall be doing some anime reviews soon as I have TONS to share and talk about.

Anyway I thought I would just share some photos I’ve taken lately in no
specific order:

 

From my Hello Kitty neon and heart glitter lamp, to Korilakkuma & Rilakkuma plush pillows and just random crap in my draw at work.
Just the essentials you know it!

I look forward to hearing and connecting back with you kawaii lovers!
So please come say hi, come say anything lol…

See you soon,

International Friends!

Posted on January 12, 2013 by fluffyghost| 3 Comments

Hey all!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far…

Since starting Fluffyghost one of my all time favourite things I have enjoyed the most via this website is the connections I have made with people who share the same passion as me for kawaii around the world.

It helps open your eyes to culture, friendship and of course more kawaii that you might not have been able to locate or have known.

I’ve been lucky to share swapping experiences with these lovely ladies and be included in the care package network (as I like to think of it).  You just can’t beat coming home to a super cute parcel when you’ve had a rather crappy day, as it really goes to show that someone on the other side of the world really does give a damn about your well-being… and that feeling just cannot be beaten!

So here is a what I was blessed to receive this year for Christmas from the most awesome ladies ever:

I am truly grateful to have such awesome international friends. Getting to know you all, exchanging parcels and just the kawaii community in general always brightens up my day. 
I hope to one day meet you all in the flesh.

I would just like to add also that there are a few more parcels that should have been included in this post but I just can’t seem to locate the photos on my computer. But you lovely ladies know who you are and how thankful to your friendship I am.

Well thats enough of me being gushy on the internet for one day haha!
Im off to see Les Mis in the cinema.

Take care,

Happy 2013!

Posted on January 2, 2013 by fluffyghost| 2 Comments

Happy 2013 everyone! May you have a very prosperous new year in all your future adventures.

I’ve been thinking about what I would like to do for some of my new year resolutions… One of them being that I would like to get back into being a serious blogger once more. As I have settled into my new life style I believe that I can handle running Fluffyghost with ease. But this time more for pleasure and hobby then a chore.

That means lots of personal posts again, as I have tons of photos just waiting to be upload here! 

So Christmas was fantastic, lots of friends, family and of course kawaii. Heres a sneak peak of a few of my decorations and lovely gifts I was lucky to receive:

San-x, Sanrio, anime, games, Lolita and a traditional Japanese leather school bag make me a very happy bunny indeed! I’ve been eyeing up that bag like a perv for  such a long time too & now it is mine muahahaha! >:D

It was  also great to be able to enjoy all the festive activities on the run up to Christmas too with the people I love. 

Anway hoo’s Happy New Year everyone! Lets welcome it all in together.

Back From The Dead!

Posted on October 6, 2012 by fluffyghost| Leave a comment

Hello all!

This must be the longest record broken for not posting, however after a near fatal brush with zombie syndrome I am back from the dead!

I am very happy to say that whilst away a lot has happened, I landed my dream job and I am now currently working as basically a graphics designer/trainee programmer. So I hope to be able to bring my new skill set over to here at FluffyGhost and well just make this website much more awesome of course!

So be warned I might make some crazy changes along the line as I shall be using FluffyGhost as my training ground. 

I am definitely looking forward to being able to write this website from scratch.

Anyway so Im back just in time for my favourite months too:

(Halloween image via: Black Coffee.)

Autumn I find has so much to offer… From the beautiful scenery, those sunny days where the air is cold and crisp, crunchy leaves, blankets and jumpers, hot drinks tasting a million times better and of course…HALLOWEEN!!!

I really could list all day why I love Autumn so much but I shall save that for another rainy day.

After a very productive week at my new job a well deserved rest is only to be expected. As the famous saying goes;

“Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted.” & I could not agree more!

So my weekend supplies consist of:

Halloween decorations, (Yes they were most necessary! Mr H looked at me funny haha.) sweets, sweets and more sweets! S’mores ingredients and comics!

I’ve wanted to try s’mores for a very long time, you Americans make them look irresistible. I do though have different crackers compared to the square ones, I am however English so you’ll have to forgive me as I just could not for the love of god find t

(Hello Kitty zombie Via: Wanabeanarchist DeviantART.)

So you know what I will be doing, as well as watching ALOT of zombie based movies and series. Its zombie fever at my house currently, if were not playing the new Resident evil 6 were watching something vaguely similar along those lines.

Anyone else caught the Halloween horror bug? Would love to hear from you all.

Take care,

Sanrio Store Heaven!

Posted on September 3, 2012 by fluffyghost| 5 Comments

Hey all!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks…Summer is finally coming to an end and my favourite seasons are approaching. I can not wait!

Anyway last weekend me my partner Mr H & our friend took a trip to Germany for the day. (It really was a long day trip.) Me and my partner had never been on a plane before so it was great to finally lose my plane virginity at the age of 20!

It wasn’t that scary, I would like to blame Hollywood for making me think so…No snakes either.

So we went to a place called Wunderland its the worlds biggest Hornby exhibit what was outstanding! The detail was crazy.

But the reason why I’m posting about this today is that I went to my first ever Sanrio store! Sanrio merchandise is sold pretty much everywhere these days if you keep an eye open for it. I’ve been collecting Hello Kitty for way over a decade now…So finally being able to visit the home of Sanrio was an utter dream come true. (There sadly isn’t any Sanrio stores here in the UK, which is very weird considering Hello Kitty was mean’t to have been born in “London.”)

Don’t get me wrong I was knackered looked a bit of a mess but it was so worth it!

(The sunglasses were still on to hide my tired looking eyes, I had been up since 3 in the morning and running on about 3 hours sleep all day haha. No regrets!)

I almost had a heart attack in the door way I swear! Boy I’ve never been quite at home as I was here. Mr H was a star and took all the in store photos as I was let loose to do my bidding. Muahahah! >:D Was a nice surprise.

So of course you might be wondering what my haul was?

Well wollah:

I think I did quite well considering I couldn’t buy too much or any larger items as we didn’t have a suitcase. Mr H was awesome and carried the Tuxedo Sam bag through customs. It was so cute!!

Lots of goodies for me and of course I had to pick up some gifts for some dear friends. Gotta share the happiness right!

Everything at the front (The pouches and mini notebooks.) were free gifts which was very delightful. I was over the moon to have been given a Jewel Pet pouch I adore Ruby. I did want to buy some Jewel Pet merchandise but was a bit to expensive for my budget. Quite a few people have asked me about the prices and I must say a lot of it was very reasonable. The was of course some extremely expensive stuff amongst everything, but isn’t there everywhere?

The most expensive purchase I made that day was the Tuxedo Sam bag which was only 17.90 Euros so not bad at all considering I was in the best place on earth…EVER!!

So there we have it my first ever trip to a Sanrio Store. I cannot wait to hunt down another!

Take care,

Birthday Goodness!

Posted on July 9, 2012 by fluffyghost| 7 Comments

Hey all!

On Saturday I turned 20, no longer a teenager! Gosh…

Doesn’t feel any different though I must admit.

I had a really awesome lazy day. Going out to eat, playing my games, having my partner be my butler for a day haaha. Was pretty damn good doing nothing. As I couldn’t be bothered to have the pressure to have to do something. Plus this is the 4th year it has rained on my birthday! This being the first it hasn’t mattered!

Soo yay!

*Be warned this post is going to be very photo heavy!*

I was truly spoilt! I want to thank family and friends for making my day so special and for all of you’re stunning gifts you gave me & for those to come also!

It’s days like this when you can’t help but know your loved and by whom.

Wouldn’t trade that serenity for all the money in the world. 

Well there we have it! I’m getting old!! :O

Haha, well take care see you all soon!

The Most Adorable Swaps! Part 2.

Posted on July 4, 2012 by fluffyghost| 3 Comments

Hey!

So onward with part 2 of this post.

I was super excited to be swapping with Carmie from Flickr again as she knows my kawaii taste very well.

So heres the parcel:

I love it when people draw and decorate there parcels. It just brightens up your post you know? She also drew the cutest bunny girl on the back, but I didn’t take a photo.

It was like a kawaii anime paradise when I opened up this parcel.  From Hamtaro, PreCure, Ruby from Jewel Pets, Totoro & Pikachu! I am a very happy bunny!

Aswell as Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma, Sugarbunnies and tons of kawaii knick knacks. I really love Carmies accessories too. She picks out the cutest of jewellery as well as making some. I have been truly spoilt! She also got the Lolita Hello Kitty, Ruby drawstring bag & tumbler especially made for me!

There is not a single item I do not like or am not to fond of. You know you have an awesome swapper when this is the case!

I really feel so blessed to be doing swaps like these. I remember when I first started out, seeing swaps like these was like a dream come true. And it still feels like that these days to. I would spend hours searching the net and staring at photos on Flickr, wishing that I could somehow participate! I must admit it takes some time to build up your reputation and you have to sieve out all the flakers. I have been flaked a total of 3 times and the feeling sucks so much! But once you meet some great people world-wide who wants to trade and respects the process of swaps it becomes very rewarding! It’s amazing that from a simple exchange you can brighten up someones day and make them happy.

So there we have it! Another successful swap. Stay tune for the photos of the swaps I’ve sent. I never upload any before the person gets it. Would hate to be a spoiler.

Take care!

The Most Adorable Swaps! Part 1.

Posted on July 3, 2012 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey!

The Summer is always a busy season, so when things get a little “ahhh.” its great to get those pick me ups. Kawaii of course!

So here are two amazing swaps I’ve recently got through the post.

This incredible swap is from Michelle from Flickr. I’ve never had so many of my wish list items come true at once. I was ecstatic!

The Hello Kitty ghost line is one of my favourite lines by Hello Kitty. But so hard to track any down here in the UK. To get so much from the TuxedoSam goodies, some of my favourite anime plush, kawaii cats and to top it all off some amazing handmade stamps. I was made!

This is the second half of Michelle’s swap to me. (It started out as one giant swap but got cut into two sendable swaps haha.) Craft heaven! So many stunning moulds and clay. I’ve not been able to put it down! The Rilakkuma moulds are being used as ice cube trays: Im going to make some chocolates with them too. I also love the Sugar Bunny bag and Hello Kitty socks.

Everything was just perfect and very me. 

I can’t currently show what I’ve sent her as she doesn’t know yet and I didn’t take a full photo of everything to date together.

So i’ll ask if I can borrow her photo when she takes it. 

Be back tomorrow with part two of this post!

Take care,

FluffyGhost on Instagram!

Posted on June 20, 2012 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey all.

Lately I’ve been addicted to the Instagram app… As I tend to take pictures of my everyday kawaii life compared to specialising on a handful of subjects per post as I do here. It’s just a lot more spontaneous and I love it! So I thought I should start uploading from time to time my Instagram photos so you can see more of FluffyGhost behind the scenes haha.

So here’s some photos from the last month:

As you can see I really am that much of a kawaii nut lol! I’ve been taking photos of my personal collection, everyday life, new purchases and my kitty when his being a ober cutie. I just love kawaii photography there’s just something about it where I can stare my day away at it. 

So if you want to follow me on Instagram and see all the rest of my feed. (Yes there are tons more photos for you to get your eyeballs into! (o^____^o)

Then follow: @fluffyghost
