Hey all I just thought I would give you a little personal update with some of my up-coming projects away from the blog and my youtube. 


I have recently partnered up with a few friends and we are starting a weekly gaming podcast, now this is a really exciting project for me because I've wanted to do a podcast for about 3 years but I've never found people willing to get on board. So now I am working with two very interesting guys, Jas and Mike and we will be letting you in on our weekly gaming banter. Check out our twitter page for more info. 



Now I am also starting a weekly streaming session on my PS4 through Twitch, I am beginning this Friday with a borderlands 2 play-through with special guests appearing each week, please feel free to subscribe and check it out! 



And this will all be alongside my reviews on The Glim Glam and my unboxings on the ObvItsAmy youtube channel, I really hope you all enjoy this exciting new content!

As most of you seemed to love my Ghibli addiction last year, I have decided to show you my most recent tattoo, a Ghibli mural piece (mainly Miyazaki films)


I had it all done in one sitting and it took 7 hours in total, but I'm so pleased with it, today however my leg does not look at pretty and it's pretty purple and bruised! 

Let me know what you think, and if you can spot the hidden No Face!

As someone who is allergic to liquid eyeliners I find that using gel tends to get a bit messy every now and again, especially when you get that build up in the crease of your eyes.  So when I discovered felt tip liner I decided to give it a go for my every day use.

I love being able to buy handcrafted items which have a pretty awesome element to them, over the last few months I've become a bit of an Etsy addict. (Some of those sellers are crazy talented)
I thought I would make this post for the people who are looking to buy their loved ones something awesomely nerdy and amazing. I found a few items I would like to share with you guys! Enjoy.


Firstly we have this awesome Totoro styled laptop vinyl decal. As a person who loved Ghibli and vinyl stickers I feel like this would be an awesome gift. Now this is only £4.57 from this Etsy seller (DesignDepo) - she also has loads of 3DS vinyls too! (Themes include, Zelda, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter)

Straying away from my usual topics, I decided to write something a bit more personal this week. And unfortunately it is to do with stress.

So at the beginning of October I embarked on my final year of University, and decided to take two jobs alongside it and carry on making videos on my personal YouTube channel as well as running the blog.  Let's just say that after 3 months I am a very tired person! However this doesn't mean I don't enjoy what I do.

I really try to make time for all of these things, alongside filming, dissertation writing, seeing friends and family. However this does mean I've scarified something I love the most which is 'me' time. Now giving up time to myself has stressed me out more than doing all of this work, I thrive on spending a few hours at least a day on my own and now the time I get on my own is bedtime - which I spend overthinking instead of doing the actual sleeping part.

But what I realised recently after some advice from a good friend of mine is that you do (as cheesy as it sounds) only live once and if you have nothing to show for it then what's the point? I do all of these things because I enjoy them and eventually want to build a career for myself. If it means I have another 6 months of stress then so be it. However I have now started keeping journal of the things which make me unhappy - I've found writing them down and not talking about them really does help. You let your feelings disappear into a book and you never have to worry about them again (unless they're ongoing of course).

So if you're wondering why there is less content recently on both here and YouTube, I'm not neglecting you I'm just trying to fit EVERYTHING into the weeks which are flying by. I shall get back on it soon, but tomorrow I'm going to have a bath and spend an hour thinking of nothing.
