Pop Culture

It can be easy to forget to pause and appreciate the things that bring us joy—the items that tell stories, hold memories, and spark our passions. That's what the Pop Culture section of this blog is all about: a space where I showcase the hobbies and collectibles that have shaped my life and continue to inspire me.

Collecting isn’t just about owning things. It’s about preserving pieces of history, celebrating creativity, and finding connections to what we love most. Each item in my collection has its own story to tell, and I’m excited to share those stories with you. Whether you're a fellow collector, a curious observer, or just someone looking to relive some nostalgia, this section of my blog is for you.

To kick things off, I’ll be sharing three collections that are especially close to my heart:

Pokémon Cards
My kids got me into this. While they were growing up, Pokémon cards were more than just a game—they were a gateway to imagination and connection. I’ll be highlighting some of my favorite cards, rare finds, and the memories tied to this iconic franchise.

Comic Books
From Caped Crusaders to indie masterpieces, comic books have been a source of endless inspiration and escapism for me. I'll share some prized issues from my collection, along with thoughts on the art and storytelling that make them timeless.

Vinyl LPs
Music is a universal language, and vinyl records have a way of bringing that language to life like nothing else. I’ll showcase albums that have shaped my tastes, from classics to hidden gems, complete with the stories behind their grooves.

This is just the beginning. Clareifi Culture will grow as I continue to document and share the items that bring meaning to my life. Along the way, I hope to hear from you, too—what do you collect? What hobbies make you light up? Let’s celebrate the art of collecting together.

Stay tuned for the first gallery updates, coming soon!
