October Favourites

October has been a wonderful month for me and I felt like I actually got a lot of stuff done this month. More personal things and it was busy at work so time went pretty quick. Even had a week off which was great and now I'm recharge for the busy holiday season! I couldn't think of anything super exciting for this months favourites so I'll post a few random things I've been enjoying. First off is this *NSYNC Pop Vinyl I found at Zing! Last year I saw all the other members except Justin at the Zing store near my work but I didn't get any of them. Recently my friends and I went into a different store that had a Pop Vinyl clearance table and there he was. And only $5! What a deal!

Been playing Animal Crossing New Horizons a fair amount lately and I've gotten back into it. I think the announcement of the new update got me interested in the game again and all the snow melted in the game! I just don't like playing in winter much because of the snow and I'm looking forward to the summer season so I can catch some bugs. Preordered some packs of the Amiibo Series 5 cards and should get them next week. Fingers crossed for some villagers I've been wanting to get like Dom the sheep!

Stationery

I'm waiting for a number of parcels to get delivered with new stickers and I did receive one in October. It had a few items in it but these stickers were just the cutest thing ever! Haven't been able to get to Officeworks to stock up on pens. Nowadays when I write, I'm always trying to use gel pens as I find the ink just flows the best for me. Normal pens hurt my hand too much as I damaged the nerves in my fingers/hand a few years ago. At work, I get a lot of customers commenting on my bad handwriting and getting angry at me. It makes me rather annoyed as it's usually busy and it's not my fault I busted my nerves. At least some apologised after I explained why I write like that but I wish people wouldn't say things like that. I would use my own pen at work but the only times I write are quick moments for customer details or phone calls.

October Favourites

A few days late, but I'm finally here with my October Favourites! Last month went by so quickly and the weather was all over the place. I thought it was start to finally warm up but we had quite a number of cold days and only about 3 days over 30 degrees.

The 100 Outfit Challenge in Styling Star finally ended in October and you can check out the challenge page if you wish to catch up on it. I really enjoyed it and discovered so many new favourite outfits. I've also seen a number of players on tumblr doing my older challenges like the brand ones, so I will need to post about those soon. I've loved seeing all the amazing outfits players have come up with and their interpretations on the prompts. Here's a sneak peak at one of my upcoming Styling Star posts I will post later this month!

Music
I've lost track of how many orders I have coming to me from Japan currently. I brought a bunch of rare albums and singles that I have been after for years so I'm excited to receive those. I still need to post my last Zenmarket haul from a few months ago on here, so I'll try to get to that this month. I actually did buy some non K-Pop and J-Pop releases this month! I got The Living End's recent release Wunderbar in the CD+DVD limited edition for my Living End collection. Picked up The Essential *Nsync because I do love my *Nsync! The TLC and Gwen Stefani ones were random purchases as they were cheap. All of these CD's came from JB Hi-Fi which has the best selection of CD's in Australia. They do have a small selection of K-Pop and J-Pop but it's limited to boy groups unfortauntly. I pick up a BLACPINK mini album a while back that I'll probably post about in my yearly collection post as it's not a main group I collect hardcore and just brought it for my collection.

Song wise I've been enjoying a whole stack of releases. I've been interested in TWICE for a while now, but don't collect any of their physicals currently. Usually I listen to their releases a few months after they come out and after the hype has died down. I found that's the easiest way I can get into their stuff. So I've been loving their song Fancy and especially the Japanese version. Might actually pick that up one day as it's on the Breakthrough single which is another song I enjoy. A bunch of other songs I've been super into include Happiness - Chao Chao, Elris - Summer Dream and Saturday - BByong. E-girls just announced a new single which I'm hoping is another digital release as I would like to take a break from physicals over the holidays. Let's hope it's as good as EG-ENERGY which is still playing on my playlist everyday.
