hi, welcome!

I’m Hazel, the unhinged gamer behind gamearella. Welcome to my space on the web where I get to rave and rant and ramble about all things gaming, fandom and toy collecting.

I’m a cozy gamer (cozy is subjective here btw), a toy collector, a former Disney Cast Member, a bookworm, blogger and mama to 2 very active gaming kiddos.

I struggle with severe anemia and lately perimenopause, so my energy isn’t anywhere close to what it use to be.

Fun facts

Getting my crafters to 100 and debating on getting either Reaper or Viper to 100!
