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.

Ughhhh Writer’s Block

Why is Writer’s Block a Real Thing????

No….really, why is writer’s block a thing? It gives me (….and so many other people) anxiety, this writer’s block. Why can’t the words pour out like as if being poured out of an everlasting pitcher of awesome. An endless supply of writing material at my finger tips would be the answer to some of my prayers. The funny thing is that my writer’s block affects nobody but myself because no one really reads my work. HA!! Of course people don’t, I am not consistent anymore nor am I well known. For everyone else that gets paid for their work, it matters and can be draining to get past it. For those that don’t write as a passion or job, then it doesn’t seem like a real thing or an issue to contend with but I assure you it is.

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.

My mom and I plus Burger King Logo

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!!!!!!

Mandi’s World: Our Story

A dream since childhood: to have a dog.

I have always desired to have a dog. I needed it. It burned inside me. Every time i saw a picture of a dog, especially a puppy, I felt a tug at my heart. I loved being around them. Aside from horses, they are my favorite animal.I mean, they are man’s best friend and I so wanted a dog to be my best friend. To get into mischief with me. I used to watch Full House and wish that what happened to them would happen to me. The Tanner’s got their dog, Comet, because his mom, Minnie, appeared on their yard. They were able to track down the owner after a while but not before Minnie gave birth to several puppies. Then they were able to keep one. I wished a puppy would be given to me. When kids had their imaginary friends I had an imaginary dog, which my siblings played along with me. I named it Comet after Full House.
