Misnyland Party OOTD Bloopers

Hellooooo darlings! We are going to wrap things up with my Misnyland Party OOTD by checking out the blooper reel! Then, keep it locked for a new vegetarian restaurant review, another brand new OOTD, and lots more fun here on lifewithlilred. 🙂 It has been over a week since Johnny and I attended Tim Misny’s fall fest at his home and I honestly still can’t believe it happened. I have watched the video of my interview with him quite a few times and it almost feels like watching a dream! There is nothing dreamy about the following pictures, though, so let’s take a look see and poke some good old fashioned fun at yours truly:

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will ALWAYS have a random piece of hair sticking up in pictures. *Face palm*

Rocking that Popeye eye!! Acka ka ka ka or however he laughs

I worked really hard for this shot as you are about to see…

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down

image_50400769(7)

Lol the pure fear in my eyes of potentially plummeting down the church stairs

image_50384897(3)

Getting SO pissed lololol

image_50431489(9)

Rage. Who knew it would be so hard to pop a foot in these heels SMH

image_50439169(11)

I know, I know – I look freaking awesome in these pictures that it’s hard to believe that I currently don’t feel awesome. In fact, I am suffering from a cold from hell as I type this and literally have a plastic bag hanging on my chair to deposit used tissues in! My Misnyland weekend was a whirlwind and not only was I lucky enough to hang with Mr. Misny, but I also got to spend lots of time with my sweet nieces, Val and Raya. Guys, I love those little girls more than words can say, however, they are the biggest bio-hazards on this good Earth lol.

This past Friday, I had dinner with Johnny, my sister, and her fam and on Saturday we all got together again for lunch. My fave little ladies both had a bit of a cough and I figured it wasn’t that big of a deal until their germs caught up to me! For the past few days, I have been Sneezy, Snotty, and Coughy – those are some of the names of the Seven Dwarfs, right? I am one of those people who would rather have the flu than have a cold so I have been a Lil Red mess. That will never stop me from creating daily content, though, and even while I feel like ass my loyalty always lies with lifewithlilred. I just don’t understand how those little kid germs hit so hard every time!

Looking good feeling awful, amiright? On the bright side, this cold sponsored by Val and Raya happened well before Thanksgiving. Nothing will stand in the way between me and my beloved green bean casserole, damnit!!

Have you been sick yet this season? What are some of your remedies to get rid of a cold? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Embrace Green Beauty With Washable Skincare Essentials

Embrace Green Beauty With Washable Skincare Essentials

Imagine a world where your beauty routine aligns perfectly with your values of protecting the planet. This world isn’t a distant dream; it’s a reality you can start living now. As you explore sustainable beauty, you’ll discover an array of washable skincare essentials that care for your skin and cherish our planet. This guide will unveil the secrets of transitioning to a sustainable beauty regimen, focusing on a critical element revolutionizing skincare: washable skincare essentials:

Understanding Sustainable Skincare:

As you delve into the world of sustainable beauty, you might wonder what exactly makes a beauty routine ‘sustainable.’ At its core, sustainable skincare is about choices that respect the earth and its resources. It’s a commitment to products and practices that minimize environmental impact and support ethical, responsible sourcing.

What is Sustainable Beauty?

Sustainable beauty, for you, means embracing products and practices that have a lesser environmental footprint. It’s about saying ‘no’ to single-use plastics and unnecessary waste and ‘yes’ to reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable options. When you choose a sustainable beauty path, you’re not just deciding for yourself; you’re making a statement about the kind of world you want to live in.

The Environmental Impact of Traditional Skincare Products:

Recognizing the impact traditional skincare products have on our environment is crucial. Countless disposable wipes, cotton pads, and plastic-packaged products end up in landfills and oceans, contributing to pollution and harming wildlife. You might feel that your choices are just a drop in the bucket, but remember, every drop counts. By shifting your focus to sustainable options, you’re part of a growing wave of conscious consumers driving a positive change for our planet.

Benefits of Switching to Washable Products:

Switching to washable skincare products comes with many benefits beyond just being kind to the planet. These reusable items can be more cost-effective in the long run. Think about how often you buy disposable wipes or cotton pads. With washable alternatives, you invest once and reuse many times, saving money and reducing waste. Additionally, many of these washable options are made with gentler, more natural materials, which can be kinder to your skin.

Washable Makeup Remover Pads: A Game Changer:

Among the various washable skincare products, one stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness: washable makeup remover pads. These pads are a game changer in your skincare routine. They work just like the disposable ones but without the guilt of adding to landfill waste. Soft, gentle, and practical, these pads can be used with your favorite cleanser or micellar water to remove makeup and be easily washed and reused. By incorporating washable makeup remover pads into your routine, you’re taking care of your skin and doing your part in reducing environmental waste.

Incorporating Washable Essentials into Your Routine:

Choosing the Right Products:

First, pick washable products that suit your skin. If you have sensitive skin, look for soft materials like organic cotton. There are also options with a bit of texture for gentle exfoliation. The goal is to find eco-friendly products that meet your skincare needs.

Caring for Your Washable Skincare Products:

To keep your washable products in good shape, rinse them after use and wash them with your regular laundry. Put them in a mesh bag to keep them together. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain their absorbency. Air-drying is best to keep them soft and effective for a long time.

Embracing sustainable beauty routines is more than just a trend; it’s a commitment to a healthier planet and a more conscious lifestyle. By incorporating washable skincare essentials into your routine, you’re taking a significant step towards reducing your environmental impact. These simple changes in your daily beauty regimen can have a profound effect not only on the environment but also on your well-being and finances!

Misnyland Party OOTD Bonus Pics

Misnyland Party OOTD Bonus Pics

Hellooo everyone and welcome to some bonus pics from my Misnyland Party OOTD!! Johnny and I spent this past Friday afternoon hanging out with Tim Misny at his appropriately named estate “Misnyland”. Rubbing shoulders with one of Ohio’s biggest local celebrities was due to a contest I won and all I can say is, your girl knows how to style an OOTD! 😀 Speaking of OOTDs, I knew I had to pull out all of the stops for this party and I was feeling my damn self in my new 7 For All Mankind dress. So much so that I have some extra content to share with all of you! Check it out:

image_50447361(3)image_50432001(8)image_50461953(6)image_50747649image_50750977(1)image_50454529(7)

After our afternoon at Misnyland, Johnny and I decided that we would take pictures on the way to his parents’ house. There really wasn’t anything noteworthy to post up by except for oodles of churches so we figured we would take what we can get. Granted, if we both didn’t burn up within five feet of the house of worship we picked lol. Obviously, we both lived to tell the tale and I loved how all of these shots turned out. ❤

As you saw yesterday, the church offered gorgeous green doors which is much more lively than my usual brick walls haha. What I liked best, however, was the huge courtyard in front with brick paving and greenery. It looked so pretty and I’m sure it looked even better during the summer or when all of the leaves from the trees hadn’t hit the ground yet. Either way, it was the perfect setting to twirl around in and my dress was the perfect thing to wear to do said twirling. The movement of the skirt was so much fun and it was impossible to stand still. There were a lot of duds in this bonus pic shoot, but I was thrilled with the ones that turned out well. Twirling pictures are definitely not my strong suit! 😀

We have seen the good from my Misnyland Party OOTD so it will be onto the yikes tomorrow. Keep it locked for the blooper reel!

Where is your favorite place to take pictures? Do you tend to buy a new outfit before an event? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Misnyland Party OOTD

Misnyland Party OOTD

Hello!! This past Friday, Johnny and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon spent with Ohio’s very own local celebrity, Tim Misny. This party was at Tim’s home called Misnyland and the amazingly good fortune was on account of an OOTD I created for a contest that was being ran for the launch of the Misny Merch shop. I have never spent time with someone as well known as Tim Misny, let alone be invited to their estate and I knew I had to pull out all of the stops with what I wore. So, I styled this:

image_50401793(4)image_50422273(9)image_50425601(7)image_50393345(3)image_50428417(7)image_50406145(7)

Who? What? Wear?

Faux Leather Dress: 7 For All Mankind, TJMaxx

Cardigan: t/o, TJMaxx

Heeled Boots: Target

Heart Necklace: Meredith Leigh, TJMaxx

The earrings are from Target!

Thanks to the TJMaxx shopping trip that I had before my trip to Misnyland, styling this OOTD was incredibly easy. I found one of my all time favorite TJs purchases, the faux leather snakeskin patterned dress by 7 For All Mankind and it really spoke to me. The shape of this dress was so classic and chic while the pattern and material offered the edge that I love to spice things up. I knew that I would shine in this dress at the party and the infinite amounts of compliments I received proved me correct. I was so flattered!

Since there wasn’t else to do with the dress but put it on, it was onto building the rest of the outfit. Despite the chilly day, I didn’t want to wear a jacket because the dress in all of its glory wouldn’t be able to be seen. So, I opted for a loose knit cardigan by t/o instead. This cardi is literally as old as dirt but it served its purpose well. Yes, I was freezing my nads off – but I looked good doing it lol! I chose this cardigan for its more open design and also for its color. The oatmeal hue matched against the lighter taupe shades in the snakeskin pattern and it really helped lighten things up and made the pattern pop even more.

With the base of the outfit fully settled, it was time for shoes and accessories. Originally, I had planned on wearing one of my longer pairs of black boots, but I decided against that. My dress was a bit longer than a tea length and I wanted to be able to at least show a little skin. I went with a heeled pair of boots from Target that I got for a song. These shoes are also as old as the hills, but they tied in with the dress beautifully and I love the curved shape of the heel. It adds such a unique touch to a fairly basic pair of boots and provided some extra height without going overboard. I didn’t know what kind of terrain we would be on at the party and am so glad I chose a heel with some more bulk because we were on gravel!

The last step was to complete the look with accessories. For earrings, I went with a gorgeous pair of dangly black jewels in a teardrop shape. Since this was a more covered look, I wanted to accentuate the skin that was showing and the earrings framed my face and neck perfectly. I was torn between adding a necklace because part of me liked the open square neckline and part of me felt like something was missing. As a compromise, I selected my tiny heart pendant by Meredith Leigh and it took up space without taking away from the rest of the look. I love all things hearts and this necklace is one of my faves. 🙂

I am beyond thrilled with how my Misnyland Party OOTD came out – so much so that I have some bonus pictures from this look to share with all of you tomorrow. Keep it locked!

What is your go to party attire? What is your favorite pattern to rock? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Memories Of Misnyland

Memories Of Misnyland

Hello!! Way back in May, Ohio’s premier personal injury/medical malpractice lawyer, Tim Misny, launched an online store called Misny Merch. I’m sure all of you are thinking “big deal”, but in my neck of the woods it actually really is lol. Anyone who lives in Ohio knows Tim Misny and he is a much beloved staple across the state thanks to his A+ billboard marketing. When the merch shop opened, there was a contest to show off your new swag for a chance to win an afternoon with Tim at his home called Misnyland. So, my dad got me some Misny Merch to rock for my birthday, I posted a Misny To The Max OOTD, and I ended up being a contest winner!

image_50457345(7)image_50422785(10)

^^^ The man, the myth, the legend.

Originally, the spoils of winning the contest was a summer BBQ at Misnyland. However, it had to be rescheduled to this past weekend for a Fall Fest instead. On Friday, Johnny and I made the trip to Misnyland and I was filled with butterflies during the entire almost hour drive. I was SO nervous to meet Tim and had no idea what to expect for the party on his property. Johnny and I were blown away when we pulled into Misnyland – the estate was gigantic, of course, and it was hard to believe that we were actually attending a party there. It was even harder to believe that we were personally welcomed by Tim as soon as we arrived!

During the party, Johnny and I met some fabulous new friends who we spent the afternoon with. We took a golf cart tour of Misnyland, had lunch, and mingled with the other contest winners and Tim himself. It was such a surreal afternoon, but it gets so much better. As the party was dying down, I asked Tim for some pictures as well as if he had time for a quick Q&A. He agreed, we went into his hunting lodge, and I ended up interviewing him for about thirty minutes. I think we could have talked all day if he didn’t have to bid farewell to the other guests! It was one of the coolest experiences of my life and it was easily the best thing my blog has ever done for me. I’m so glad I worked up the nerve to even ask him because that was a coin toss in my head the whole afternoon. 😀

There is SO much more to come from my time spent at Misnyland. Keep it locked for a brand new OOTD, bloopers, another OOTD with some new Misny Merch, and snippets from our interview. You don’t want to miss it!!

Who is a local celebrity in your neck of the woods? Have you ever won a contest before? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

PS: Remember that proceeds from every Misny Merch purchase benefits the Cleveland City Mission! ❤

5 Ways To Better Animal Health During Winter

5 Ways To Better Animal Health During Winter

Animal health during the winter is just as vital as our own. As an animal or pet owner, you have a responsibility to care for any animals at your home or farm. Staying active with animals always helps, but you can also keep an eye out for local wildlife that might need help as well. Take a look at some tips to keep your pets healthy all winter long:

Keep Up with Medical Treatment:

Like humans, animals require medical treatment to stay healthy. If you have any pets, then you will be well aware of the medical problems they can get and the effects these can also have. From simple eye infections to kennel cough and worms, dogs are susceptible to all kinds of issues. Yet even strong horses are also prone to worms, so products like Questplus dewormer are highly recommended during winter as worms occur mostly during December and January.

Stay Active with Your Pets:

Pets need lots of exercise, and this can be easy or challenging, depending on what pet you have. For instance, a rodent will go all day if you provide a wheel for exercise. Yet a dog has no such amenity. You must walk your dog and ensure they get the exercise they need, even in winter. This is harder, of course. But you can bear it with some reliable winter clothing. You can also get some clothing for your dog. This looks amazingly cute but will also help keep them warm.

Shelter Provides Animal Health During Winter:

Almost every animal needs shelter, from mighty elephants to rodents. Livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens (which are common in backyards) need somewhere safe from the elements. A warm and durable shelter is so important year round, but is critical in the winter. You can click here to learn more about safe shelters for chickens and other small animals if you raise them to promote health and happiness during cold spells. The number of deaths from poor shelter during extreme weather runs into the hundreds of thousands every year. This can be avoided with adequate shelter for the animals you keep. Ventilation, dry bedding, and enough feed are also essential for maintaining animal health.

Help Local Wildlife Stay Safe:

You may or may not have pets. But what you will have is local wildlife. From frogs in the pond to birds, badgers, and foxes visiting your garden, there is abundant wildlife almost everywhere. And every now and then, they need a little help from us. For instance, there are toxic gasses that can build in frozen-over ponds, so check that there is always a hole for these to escape. You can also help birds find food with bird feeders. And be careful of hibernating animals when clearing debris.

Be Aware of the Human Dangers:

Winter is a savage time for humans in some places, and we need ways to get through it. Just maintaining your car can be a nightmare. But it can also be deadly to animals, especially cats. Ethylene glycol, the main component of antifreeze, is sweet, and cats are drawn to it. So, store it correctly and clean up spills. Antifreeze can also leak from your car, so be sure to check underneath the vehicle and clean up any residue that could possibly be an antifreeze solution.

Avoid winter health conditions for your beloved pets with the tips above and stay warm!

New Steve Madden Winter Accessories

New Steve Madden Winter Accessories

Helloooo!!! Yesterday, we took a look at my new favorite dress purchased from my last shopping trip to TJMaxx. That wasn’t the only thing I got, however, and today we’ll be checking out the super fun New Steve Madden Winter Accessories that came home with me too. I have a huge collection of hats, scarves, and gloves for the cold weather and it is safe to say that I am a little bit obsessed with winter accessories. They are such a great way to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank! The selection at TJ’s was excellent and I walked away with an adorable pair of earmuffs and a knit balaclava. Let’s get to it:

image_50367745(2)image_50413057(9)image_50443521(4)image_50394113(4)image_50380801(3)

^^^ Peep the original price tag for the earmuffs. I purchased them for ten dollars. SCORE!!

This was a rather exciting accessory haul for me because I don’t own earmuffs or a balaclava. That is the beauty of TJMaxx – you never know what you’re going to find to spice up your wardrobe! The first thing that my eyes locked in on at the accessory wall was the smiley face earmuffs. How cute are those?! They were over the top, vibrant, so much fun, and oh my goodness were they comfortable on. They fit just right without being too tight and my ears were so toasty and warm. I knew that these would make a vibrant addition to the grey days of winter and the price I got them for was a total steal. 😀

The next thing that spoke to me was the knit balaclava, which is something that I knew existed but have never seen before in store. My new balaclava was something that was instantly appealing to me. I only own one jacket with a hood on it and it isn’t warm enough for winter wear. This was not only a fashion purchase but a practical one. There are some days when I have to go to work really early to get a client to work and it is always freaking freezing when I get in the car. Now, I have a balaclava to help with that – do you know how much heat we lose through our heads?! Not only will this help in the warmth department, but it is such a bold statement piece. Balaclavas are most chic and my new one will add a touch of sophistication to all of my winter coats!

I have no intention of buying a new coat this year and I love that I will be able to freshen my winter wear up with these fab new Steve Madden accessories. TJMaxx, you always continue to surprise me! ❤

What is your favorite winter accessory? How do you update your winter wardrobe? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New 7 For All Mankind Dress

New 7 For All Mankind Dress

Hello!!! This past Tuesday, I spent a wonderful afternoon shopping with my mom at TJMaxx. We went with the intention of holiday shopping but, of course, we had to pick out some goodies for ourselves too!! My mom walked away with two adorable new sweaters and I had a fun haul with some new winter accessories and the 7 For All Mankind dress that we are discussing today. I was very happy to have found this dress because I had an upcoming event (on Friday the 10th) with a local celebrity thanks to this OOTD. I wanted to go all out for it fashion-wise and I knew that this dress would wow:

image_50451713(4)image_50436097(10)image_50756865(1)

At the end of the day, I could have worn something to my Friday event (Which you will hear more about later!) that I already own. But where is the fun in that?! This was going to be my first time rubbing shoulders with someone famous for more than one minute and I wanted to look my best. Our gracious host is a HUGE deal in Ohio and I wanted the pictures I was going to take to not only speak to that, but my fashion too. After piling my shopping cart full of Christmas prezzies, it was onto browsing the clothing department for anything that spoke to me. I couldn’t believe the stroke of good fortune from the fashion gods themselves when I laid eyes on my new dress! There was only one in my size and it was drop dead gorgeous.

My New 7 For All Mankind Dress is everything that I love when it comes to clothing. Snakeskin is my favorite pattern, I live for faux leather, the shape was flattering, and it was an all around unique piece. I knew for a fact that no one at the event would be wearing something similar and that in itself was good enough for me. But, was it going to look good on me? Thankfully and obviously, the answer was YES lol! As soon as this dress was on, I was sold in a heartbeat. The tea length A-line skirt offered so much playful movement and the pattern was to die for. It looked amazing against my hair – especially with the navy in it. OOTD ideas began swirling through my head at a rapid pace and I always know that I have found a winner if I am being inspired that much in a TJMaxx fitting room!

I will leave my outfit musings out because you will all be seeing the end result very soon and I want it to be a surprise. Keep it locked here on lifewithlilred for all the deets on my celebrity schmooze fest coming this week!

How do you know if a piece of clothing is something you want to buy? Have you ever met a celebrity before? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Holiday Shopping – It’s A Wrap!

Posted on by

Holiday Shopping – It’s A Wrap!

Hello!! One thing that I simply pride myself on is getting my holiday shopping done early AF. I have just a handful of prezzies left to buy, but I am pretty much as good as done and I am thrilled about it. To me, there is nothing better than being able to go into December with nothing to do but relax and wrap gifts up in my apartment workshop. And, let’s be honest, who really wants to go into a store as the holidays approach? They’re all madhouses and the selection is always picked over. If you need a bit of inspo to complete your shopping, here are a few of the things I purchased this year:

Art Gifts:

My nieces and nephew have plenty of toys, so I wanted to steer away from that. Other than just a few toys from TT, I bought some sand art and painting kits for the kiddos that are old enough to do them. Both my older niece and nephew love doing crafts and this was a perfect compromise of something fun that isn’t a new toy to add to their collection. Craft kits aren’t just great for children, but for adults too. There are paint by number kits, rhinestone art, or even supplying the goods for a wine and paint night. No matter your age, it’s exciting to make something by yourself so this is an excellent route to go if you’re in need of ideas.

Gift Cards:

To some people, a gift card is considered a “thoughtless” gift and I say FALSE. Gift cards are the bomb and I am totally fine with giving and receiving them. Don’t let the idea of it being a not well thought out gift deter you from using them because I literally don’t know anyone who isn’t happy to get one during the holidays. Gift cards make a wonderful add on or main gift and it is so nice to be able to treat someone to dinner, a movie, or a shopping trip compliments of you.

Ornament Kits:

During my last shopping trip to TJMaxx, I knocked out a lot of the remainder of my shopping. I was most excited to find ornament kits including one for your pet and one for baby’s First Christmas. If you have a proud pet owner in your life, this would be a really sweet gift for someone to be able to commemorate their fur baby with a paw print ornament. The baby’s First Christmas one was also an awesome find because it will be the first Christmas for my new niece. Thoughtful, effective, done and done.

Books:

The world is filled with an infinite number of books so use them! I purchased quite a few books for this holiday season and I know that they will be a hit with my giftees. Even if the person you’re gifting for isn’t a huge reader, coffee table books on one of their favorite things can make for a unique gift. Or maybe your giftee loves to cook? Pick out a new cookbook and a gift card to their local grocery store for ingredients to cook with! Books are a cool gift because you can add another gift that might fit that book’s theme for a really thoughtful surprise.

Food Gifts:

Food gifts always go over well and I was psyched to have found some nice chocolate gift sets at TJs for my clients’ families. A food gift could be a gift set, sure. But, it could also be a home cooked meal, a mason jar with ingredients for soup or cookies, a gift card to a favorite restaurant, or a meal delivery service. Everyone has to eat and I know your giftee would love a gift basket filled with their favorite ingredients, snacks, or candy!

The holidays are fast approaching and it honestly gives me anxiety that a lot of people aren’t done with their shopping yet lol. I hope these tips will better assist you as you continue to check people off of your shopping list!

When do you start holiday shopping? Are you an early or last minute shopper? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Akron Comicon Haul

Akron Comicon Haul

Hello!! Akron Comicon this past weekend was a blast and I spent the best afternoon with Johnny and my brother. We came, we saw, we shopped and each walked away with a bagful of goodies featuring all of our favorite things. I wasn’t able to attend the Con last year and Johnny surprised me with all kinds of gifts to decorate our apartment with. It felt so good to be able to participate this time around and I am loving all of our new swag! Check it out:

image_50438401(7)image_50397697(2)image_50399233(6)image_50411265(7)image_50408193(4)image_50445825(8)image_50741505(2)image_50426369(3)image_50448385(6)

^^^ The last three posters were made by Vile Consumption and the Wolfman was painted and autographed by Drac of Transylvania Tonight!

It was SO hard to exercise self restraint at the Comicon because there was a ton of merchandise from my favorite fandoms to buy! We’re talking Demon Slayer, Assassination Classroom, horror flicks, Lego, and much more. The first thing I selected was my Funko Pop of The Little Prince. I had no idea that this Funko existed and my brother got it for me in exchange for paying for our tickets. I have countless tattoos from the book and it is a piece of literature (and film) that is very dear to my heart. Best believe it is proudly displayed on our knick knack shelf! ❤

Johnny also treated me to a few little prezzies including the V mini fig from V For Vendetta and the crocheted Plague Doctor. Like The Little Prince, V For Vendetta is another book/movie that is one of my all time favorites. And, also like The Little Prince, I have a buttload of tattoos from V For Vendetta too! The mini fig is perfect and I love that Johnny always knows exactly what I would like without consulting with me. We both fell in love with our tiny Plague Doctor friend and as soon as Johnny saw me give it a cuddle, it was as good as ours lol.

Finally, the Akron Comicon was an amazing place to gather more art for our expansive collection. While visiting with Drac and Countess Carita of Transylvania Tonight, we noticed that Drac had a new piece of his artwork on display: The Wolfman. This was a must buy because we already have all of his other movie monster prints from last year’s Con. Now, we have the Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Creature From The Black Lagoon, Doctor Jekyll, and the Wolfman all painted and signed by Drac! We also couldn’t say no to the posters by Vile Consumption because they are hilarious lol. I was geeking out over the Sister Act one from The Nun, it wasn’t even a question about the David Pumpkins print, and Trick R’ Treat was an obvious choice because it’s one of our fave Halloween flicks. SAM!!! 😀

The Akron Comicon was a GREAT SUCCESS and I am so happy with all of our fun purchases. I can’t wait to get our new artwork hung up around the apartment! 🙂

What is your favorite fandom? What is your favorite horror movie? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
