MegaCon 2019 + Red Roof Inn: Passion Traveling

One of the joys of being a mom is being able to share the things you love with your children. As I’ve mentioned before, travel is something that my husband and I have cherished, both individually and as a couple since the beginning of time. Pair it with traveling for a passion, such as pop culture conventions, and we are happy campers. I remember the first time I went to San Diego Comic Con: before people slept outside to get into panels, when 4-day badges were $100 and if you attended a panel, you automatically went to meet and greets with the cast. No big. Now, living the con life is not as rare as it used to be and people from all walks of life are traveling to attend their favorite conventions in cities all over the country (and world, really).

Luna’s first convention was Megacon in Orlando last year and she absolutely loved it. I really love Megacon because it has all the perks of large cons while still holding on to the feel of a small one. I think it’s a perfect “gateway con,” and one we’ve enjoyed for years. This year, we opted not to cosplay just for comfort sake, got a photo op with the gift that is David Tennant + saw some amazing vendors and friends.

Being Geek Chic: Subtle Geekery

I was given a request after my last Being Geek Chic post on how to incorporate geeky items into basic, every day outfits. I thought this was a great idea because it is something simple that you can do on an every day basis. And lets face it, I’m not always sporting a head to toe geeky-inspired outfit (shocker, I know!) The easiest way to bring in your fandom to any look is through jewelry. I’ve put together two outfits for you all that show you how you can rock your geekery without going head to toe fangirl.

I absolutely love the hippie/boho look these days. It’s so light and easy – exactly what this new mama craves when it comes to fashion. This off the shoulder, flowy top and faux suede fringe vest from Tobi are my new go-to’s when I need to look stylish without too much effort (check out other tops and outerwear from Tobi too). I paired them with a pair of cut off denim shorts and then starting adding some fandom jewelry, like a LOST necklace and Hunger Games-inspired ring. Both pieces are subtle little nods to things I love without overpowering the rest of the look.
Want to go full blown boho? Check out everything Tobi has to offer here.

Spike TV’s Auction Hunters


I personally love auction shows. It’s always so amazing to see what relics people may be storing in their homes unaware of their value – gets you thinking twice about throwing out your grandmother’s hand-me-down rocking chair, huh? Anywho, two of the best “treasure hunters” in the business, Allen Haff and Clinton Ton Jones, will be back for a second season of Spike TV’s Auction Hunters starting next Tuesday, April 5 at 10pm/9c. The second season follows Haff and Jones across the country in their quest to win auctions, dig for abandoned historical treasure and sell them for a profit. Even better? They decided to start the season with a bang by visiting Miami in their first episode!

Great choice, boys! I can’t wait to see what they uncover in my hometown.
Lord knows we need some positive press after that Bravo housewife debacle (seriously, how terrible were they?).

Check out what the boys have in store for you this season:
