Welcome

Hi, I’m Wendy

I’ve been a gamer since the late 80s! My first console was the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and my first game was Super Mario Bros. Gaming, for me, is more than just entertainment. It’s helped me communicate, boosted my confidence, and brought me so much comfort during tough times.

I launched this blog in January 2022 while still a supermarket cashier, and now it has over 400,000 page views and a social following of 60,000+ and landed me a dream job as a Social Media Manager. That’s all thanks to you and the thousands of readers who love cozy games as much as I do. And for that, I would like to say a huge thank you!

Where it all began…

When I started my cozy gaming blog, I was a 37-year-old supermarket cashier who was committed to changing the course of my life. Little did I know how different my life would look after just 2 years!

Video Games have always been a big part of my life, and I started gaming with my siblings at an early age, teaching my little brothers how to jump in Super Mario Bros.

I continued playing games well into my 20’s mastering well-known series like Halo and Destiny. But I was at my happiest pottering about in Animal Crossing Wild World on the Nintendo DS (yes, I still have it!) decorating my tiny cozy home.

In 2020, like many gamers, I spent tons of time in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and wanted to share my gameplay with others. So I became a Twitch Streamer and achieved affiliation in just 7 days! Being an introvert, however, I preferred writing about games over talking about them. So in 2022, I bought a domain, hosting, and theme, and started writing game reviews.

Quickly, my blog grew and many of you lovely cozy gamers began to follow me across my social media too. On top of this, thanks to the expertise I’ve developed in long and short-form video creation, copywriting, SEO and blog writing, I have worked with amazing brands and recently become an in-house Social Media Manager for a local business.

This is just the start of something great!
