November Favourites

Can't decided if this month went fast or slow. It seems like ages ago that it was the 1st of November or maybe the last few weeks have really dragged. The busy Christmas season has hit and it's mental with stock and orders everywhere. A lot of people have been saying the postal system has slowed down in Australia and parcels are backed up. But I've been getting my online orders rather quickly and we've only a had few instances at work hearing about parcels getting stuck at borders which are closed for COVID-19. Anyway onto some favourites for November!

Gaming

Mainly just playing New Horizons this month and my island is almost finished! My friends helped me out with getting certain items and I finally have the entire garden gnome set. Haven't even started on my house yet haha. It's always the last thing I do and might spend some time soon thinking about what I want to theme my rooms around. Speaking of Animal Crossing, my friend got me this Animal Crossing puzzle as a birthday gift. How amazing is this? I didn't know they existed until I received this! I cannot wait to do it as I quite enjoy puzzles and it's even better cause it's Animal Crossing!

When I built a new computer recently, it didn't come with a SD Card slot so I haven't been able to get new photos from any of my games. I looked at a few SD card readers but the reviews were awful so I didn't get them. Most readers now are USB-C so I'm going to most likely get one of those and an adapter for USB-A to connect to the PC. Then I finally get all my lovely screenshots from New Horizons and my 3DS again.

Music

Brought a bunch of new CD's on Black Friday as JB HiFi finally had their 20% off music sale. Picked up the standard album version of Blackpink's album but I haven't had a chance to listen to it just yet as I've been busy from Black Friday hilariously enough. Waiting on a bunch of CD's to come from Japan that I'm very excited to receive whenever they arrive. I feel like I've listened to a billion songs this month as November went on forever. I've been listening to a lot of AKB48 lately as well as Apink. The later is a group I never really listened to much and I quite like Apink's style of music. It reminds me of older Korean Pop music and stuff from the 2nd generation. It's been so busy lately I haven't been able to listen to any new songs from girl groups as there has been a fair few recently. One thing I have been doing is cranking Girls Generation's Into The New World loudly at work so hopefully everyone who has no clue about k-pop can appreciate that gem haha.

Stationery

Visited Daiso this month which resulted in a adorable haul of course. I wish they'd build a Daiso closer to my workplace so I can go all the time :( The two closest to me are in shopping places I rarely visited, I used to work in the same centre years ago before it opened. I picked up these cute stickers and some sticky notes as I wanted to get a few for my planner.

Style Boutique Styling Star - Scrapbook Outfits

In the Style Boutique games, we are tend to save our favourite outfits to the scrapbook. Either for quick access or due to that outfit being the perfect thing to wear all the time. I decided to take photos in all the outfits I had saved to my scrapbook in Styling Star. These outfits were added to the scrapbook over the course of a long time so I don't recall the exact reason I saved them. Most likely a combination of Shopdo outfits, looks from challenges or ones I just fell in love with. I haven't played the game for ages (mostly due to work commitments and New Horizons being the only game I've played this year) so it was lovely to see all these outfits again!

First up is a bunch of girly themed outfits as I have a billion of those. The girly style is the closest to how I'd like to dress in real life or I already have similar items in my closet. Wouldn't it be great to have a closet as large as the one in Style Boutique? These girly outfits were some of my favourite ones in the game and they feature quite a few of the new items to Styling Star. The brown toned outfit is super gorgeous and mixes items from different brands together.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Terrible Terraforming

Need to get through the backlog of Animal Crossing: New Horizons screenshots from earlier this year so here is another play journal for the game. First up is a lovely photo of my character's disappointment when the fishing rod broke during the fishing tourney. Yeah...not a fan of the whole tools breaking thing. Sometimes I like to just fish or catch bugs for ages which I did a lot in New Leaf. But it's just not the same in New Horizons and I wish they'd fix the breaking tools mechanic. They should have gone with a similar system to the golden tools in New Leaf. Bonus cute picture of Renee taking part in the fishing tourney which was the same time as Bunny Day so she's wearing one of those silly egg outfits!

I have the amiibo card for Maple so I decided to move her in as she is super adorable and one of the best normal personality villagers. I had her in New Leaf and got hold of her amiibo card sometime when the cards were released. Must have been through a trade or got lucky to find her in a pack. The cards are being re-released soon so I will pick up a few more packs for fun. Anyway isn't Maple just the cutest? The bear cub villagers are one of my favourite animal types in the series.

Just some everyday happenings in my island here with Flick visiting and some villagers chilling out. I didn't do much landscaping or decorating in my town for a while and the most effort was this low effort walkway to resident services. Includes an uneven placement of everything! The second picture is a funny picture I snapped weirding out my villagers :P
