Today I'll be talking all of the Harry Potter things. Unless you live under a nerd-free rock, you know that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child released this past Sunday, July 31. Sadly I was unable to attend any of the book release parties, but I did win a copy of the book thanks to my sweet Slytherin Instagramming skills, so there's that.

As a Potterhead and a lover of beauty products, I came up with this Butterbeer scented (and flavored if you get a little carried away) DIY sugar scrub … [Read more...]
Fandom of the Month Club: Snape Box

Part of it was likely because I had just finished the Harry Potter series, and his death as Snape still left me reeling, but it just hit me hard. In his passing, I felt inspiration.

As some of you know, I covered the Celebration of Harry Potter Expo at Universal Orlando this weekend for The Fairytale Traveler. I can't wait to share all of the details with you over on The Fairytale Traveler (I'll be sure to post the link here) as it was simply amazing. One of my favorite parts of the expo was seeing how everyone was dressed. I saw the most amazing Snape as Neville's grandmother, a Snitch, a seriously convincing Rita Skeeter, and so many more.
