Brunchcon NYC 2018

Another Volunteer Opportunity: Brunchcon

After Beautycon, I decided that I should check out more conventions to go to. Unfortunately, I have yet to secure a job so I would need to volunteer at any convention I would want to attend. Since I like that sort of work, I thought it would always be a win-win for me and whatever convention I worked for. I work hard especially if it is for something I love to do and I want to earn my entrance at these conventions. So I found out about Brunchcon on my search for more conventions. I emailed them a while back and thought nothing would come from it since I didn’t get a response in the following days. I even mentioned it to my partner-in-crime from Beautycon. I told her that I didn’t think that I would get to go. Then, when I was convinced that I would not hear for Brunchcon, I got an email asking if I would like to volunteer. YESSSSSSSSSS!!

My Favorite YouTubers

Favorite Youtubers Logo

In the beginning….

So I have not always been so into YouTube like I am now. That may have something to do with having had cable before and since moving in with my husband I have not had cable UGHHHHHH. Well since that is not really as tragic as I thought it was when the transition occurred, I had to learn how to get used to not watching shows as soon as they air. That might not be a real problem to many (it is not) but it was to me, OKAY!! I had/have favorite tv shows and I need to be up to date with them or life is not in order and if you don’t understand that well…..WELL….WELL then I guess I have no choice but to be okay with that and I am okay with that.

One of my Favorite Dishes

Now I am not a professional chef by any means but I love food and creating so what better way to put those things together than by cooking. That also means I get to do another one of my favorite things, which is eat. Who doesn’t love to eat? if you don’t, then something is wrong with you. One of my favorite breakfast meals is chilaquiles.

Got to Get in There

So I have been trying to get to live my life in a way that I will be happy with what I do. One way I am doing that is trying to do what I love for a living. I love writing, reading, cooking, baking, photography, painting, makeup, fashion, party planning and a few other creative things; I have been trying to incorporate all of these things together. The heart of it all is creative creations and ways to help others. This is why I have this blog. So when I found out about this Techmunch event, I decided I needed to get in there somehow to get to be able to achieve my goals in life. So I volunteered at Techmunch.

RX: A Small Getaway

Sometimes you need a break from the everyday to reconnect and work somethings out. Well The Kid and I did just that, we got away. JUST US. It was needed and well-deserved. It was only for a few weekdays, a small getaway and just to Atlantic City but we were alone and happy to be there. We left for AC on Labor Day in a Greyhound bus which had no ac haha. This was going to be our second time there so Groupon and us decided to stay at the hotel we had originally stayed at, the Showboat. The trip, while small, was beneficial and we packed quite a few things into the including walking more than 6 miles a day. I had (still have some) the blisters to prove it.

Do you know Kirsh Bakery, Kirsh Bakery, Kirsh Bakery ????

I have been on a subconscious journey in NYC (mainly Manhattan) to find a cute spot to go have a bite with the people closest to me or just myself. Like I have stated in posts prior, that it is not about just the delicious food (though it is very important, believe me) it is also about that place that helps to deliver a great eating experience. I have found such a place in Kirsh Bakery & Kitchen. The food is delicious (which I will touch upon later in the this post) but also the place itself is cute. The place is simple in decor and color but at the same time not so simple. The aesthetic is one part as well as the service leaves nothing to be desired.

Mac n’ Cheetos?? Do tell….

I saw a video about Mac n’ Cheetos from Burger King by Reportoftheweek on YouTube and obviously it would make me need to try them out. I mean, Cheetos and mac n’ cheese. What is there not to like? I love cheese and almost anything that has cheese on it or in it. So of course I was excited to try it but this time I didn’t know when I would be getting a chance to try them because the closest Burger King locations were not very sanitary. It had to be put on the back burner until I could find a decent Burger King. Mac n’ Cheetos, Mac n’ Cheetos, all I want is Mac n’ Cheetos… Mac n’ Cheetos please!!!!!!

Time for a Taco Bell Fresh Start

Taco Bell and I Have Never Been Friends

I was never a fan of Taco Bell. I have never thought that they had quality food. All of their items tasted the same to me. I used to go to Taco Bell for lunch when I was in high school but only because it was in close proximity to my school. Also, because I also had to work with an allowance so that meant the cheaper the food the better. Sometimes that meant that taste would not be a deciding factor. As I got older, my taste in food changed and grew with me. I fell in love with the different flavors and different ingredient combinations that can be done. Quality matters in food. It matters to me.

PORK BELLY SANDWICH REVIEW!!!!!

So The Kid and I watch a YouTube channel called ReportoftheWeek and he reviews fast food restaurants. He is pretty funny and we like the reviews he gives. Well, one of the more recent videos was for Arby’s Pork Belly sandwich. Though he said it was greasy, he also said it tasted good.It looked good so I decided I needed to try it and review it myself. So we did.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream

What is something that takes you back to your childhood? Something that, ironically, brings warm feelings? That something is ice cream. Unless you have a severe lactose intolerance and if so, sucks for you!! Just kidding. Really, though, as a kid you were treated to ice cream as a weekly tradition or celebrate at a birthday party or as a reward for acing a test. It was exciting choosing your flavor and telling the person at the counter your choice, if you went to an ice cream shop. Maybe you went to Carvel for scoops of mint, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream. Your parents might have taken you to a mom and pop shop for some soft serve ice cream cone. Maybe they had a seesaw outside where you where you and a sibling have a contest to see who can go higher. Or even having a tub of Breyer’s rocky road for after your dinner of fried chicken, mashed potato a side of vegetables. When you finished your veggies you were allowed a scoop of it.
