Our year 2024
What happend
Shortly before the end of the year, it’s that time again and we look back at the past year.
The year 2024 was a major challenge for me, especially in my private life. Accordingly, this has also affected various hobbies and aspects of my life. Of course, this also affected my dolls & social media and, last but not least, my small business.
Doll Moon Shop
Not that much has happened in my store this year. Not as much as I would have liked. This was due to delivery problems and private matters. Although I am very proud that we can now also offer 22mm acrylic eyes in our store. However, the coming months will show whether we will keep them.
Mental Health & breaks
In 2024, I fell a bit flat on my face when it came to mental health and had to take a break for a few weeks. You really shouldn’t underestimate what social media can do to you, both positively and negatively!
Sometimes breaks and distance are worth their weight in gold! If you want some tips on mental health and social media, take a look at this blog post.
Stay positive
Sometimes easier said than done.
Nevertheless, we are looking forward to the year 2025 and already have some new custom heads and wigs in the works to be able to offer great new products for our store and customers for the start in January / February 2025.
As well as some great photo ideas and projects that are waiting to be started

Doll wish list 2025
Apart from the FF14 twins to be shipped at the end of 2025, I have no concrete plans.
To be honest, I don’t have any wishes for new dolls at the moment either. Of course, I can’t see into the future and I’m also somewhat at the mercy of what is yet to be announced.
What could be dangerous would be a new tan skin release or a boy. Otherwise I’ll have to look at my collection and see what fits or needs to be sold/changed.
Our plans for 2023
This year, my list of “Doll goals” is a little shorter than usual. Precisely because I would like to focus on drawing again or other private aspects that have no place here for the time being.
In general, it’s just important to me in many ways to have more fun again. For example, taking photos or looking at social media more openly and without pressure. I suffered unnecessarily in this area last year.
I just want to become more positive in general and share positivity with you!
- Mental health & mindfulness
- Be more motivated again
- Create some tutorials
- Experiment more (photography)
