I'm not sure how many of y'all know this, but in my past life (aka before children), I was an event planner. Although I don't currently work in the field, I still do my best to plan any event I can. TV viewing parties, baby showers, and of course my favorite thing to plan is my son's birthday parties. He has had some epic parties over his 5+ years of life, but his superhero party was by far my favorite. I went all out on decorations and food, but the one thing I was never able to find was the perfect online invite. Well, now thanks to Punchbowl and their new Marvel … [Read more...]
Fandom of the Month Club March 2016 Unboxing
Hey, friends! It's that time again - my Fandom of the Month Club unboxing video. This month's theme was Avengers. I was kind of excited because I like the Avengers and Marvel in general. Usually I'll see a brief spoiler or two on Instagram way in advance to give a hint of something in the box, but I saw nothing this month until people started getting their boxes in the mail. So here's my unboxing...also, still trying to find good location and lighting, but I think it's getting better with each video so huzzah. As you heard in the video (or if you didn't want, … [Read more...]
Casual Cosplay: Elektra Cosplay & Punisher Cosplay
I decided to continue with my Daredevil Season 2 posts by doing a few casual cosplay looks today. Casual cosplaying makes me wish I had a job where I got to where real clothes instead of scrubs (and or pj's when I'm doing the stay-at-home-mom thing). There's so many cool and fun ways to embody your favorite characters through fashion without blatantly being dressed like that person. Since we're meeting two new people on Daredevil this week, I wanted to do an Elektra cosplay as well as a Punisher cosplay. Elektra Cosplay So Elektra (based on the comic images I've … [Read more...]
Avocado Deviled Eggs Recipe & Daredevil Season 2
Daredevil season 2 hits Netflix this Friday, March 18. I'm seriously so pumped. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. Although it felt slow at times, they were building up to the most excellent finale. I'm so excited for season 2 that I decided to whip up these Avocado Deviled Eggs, which I've affectionately dubbed Avocado's at Law: Daredeviled Eggs, to snack on all week while waiting until I can finally watch the show again. First, just in case you need it, a (very) quick recap on the season 1 finale and then I'll get to the recipe. It starts with Ben's funeral. … [Read more...]
Deadpool Easter Eggs: Nerdy Easter Egg Ideas
Easter is coming up at the end of the month and although Deadpool said not to bring your kids to see his new movie, that doesn't mean they can't help you make some sweet Deadpool Easter eggs. Sure, the Merc with the Mouth doesn't exactly embody the qualities one might associate with Easter, but I know I'd like nothing more than to wake up to Deadpool in my basket (you can take that in many ways, all of which are correct - ha). Even if Deadpool isn't your thing, there are so many kick ass nerdy Easter eggs you can make. DIY Deadpool Easter Eggs At first … [Read more...]
