Winner Announcement & Some Thrifting goodies

Thank you to everyone who signed up for this awesome giveaway. Congratulations to Robin Veearfour for winning! I sent you an email to collect your information. Please get back to me today and I will turn in your info!

I'm getting more and more excitamated as the days go by. I cannot wait to check this out and meet some new people! Let me know if you go, maybe we can meet up and say hi!

I went thrifting yesterday and found some brand new Express shirts GASP! I don't think I'll ever understand why people buy things and give them to Goodwill or thrift shops without ever wearing them. Smh. Either way  it goes, I came out winning! Definitely bought those Express shirts I saw and a couple other goodies. An hourglass, two beer company glasses (one from Alaska), and a cute picture frame. The pictures below are some of the things I saw but didn't buy unless mentioned so.

Reminded me of Marilla from CupcakeRehab ;] She's addicted to coffee mugs.

Yup, I bought this shirt!

Totally bought this hour glass. It was calling my name! It's pretty big too. From my elbow to the tip of my fingertips. It's going to look nice in my living room... once I figure out where I want to put it.

Happy Hump Day! Hope everyone is having a good week!

Win a pair of tickets to Houston's Comicpalooza!

Yes people, this weekend is the Comicpalooza! It's a three day event right here in Houston, Texas. It'll be held at the George R. Brown Convention (GRB) Center and lucky for you, I have a pair of tickets for all three days!

For those of you who have no idea what i'm talking about, let me break it down. The first Comicpalooza started in 2008 here in Houston. Every year that goes by, there's a bigger and better turn out. I've never attended but have heard plenty of folks rave about how awesome it is. Who isn't interested in a comic book, science fiction, and pop culture convention?! That's pretty much everything i'm into Lol! Meet celebrities, check out booths, wear costumes, and have fun! Sounds fun to me.

Patrick Stewart from Star Trek is going to be there, along with the Star Trek: The next generation enterprise-D bridge! The set was rescued last year from being destroyed. Please tell me you know what I'm talking about?! Even if you're not a big fan (which I'm not, please don't hit me) I'm sure you've seen the show and maybe even liked an episode or two. That's gotta count for something right?!

Other guests include Michelle Rodriguez (Rawr!), Danny freakin' Trejo, Avery Brooks, Walter E. Jones, Peter Mayhew, Scott Steiner, and many more. Check out this link for the rest of the Guest list. The sponsor list is pretty cool to. Ikea, McDonald's, Texas Renaissance Festival, The Houston Zombie Walk, Yelp, Texas Art Supply, Half Price Books, Hello Houston Media!, and many more! 

Check out the program and the exhibitors. There's definitely something for everyone, young or old. I've been a super hero fan for as long as I can remember and since this will be my first visit I am STOKED!! It's going to be pretty awesome and I can't wait.

The pair of tickets I have to giveaway are for all three days! The event starts on Friday, May 24th from noon to 8pm and it runs until Sunday, May 26th. It's located at the GRB like I said above, 1001 Avenida de las Americas, right across the street from Discovery Green. Follow the PunchTab prompts for a chance to win these tickets! Giveaway ends at 9AM May 22nd CT! I will announce the giveaway winner on Facebook and email them if email is provided!

Spread the word and Good Luck!

Everything is perfect when you're a liar

I bought the Kindle version of this book from Amazon last night. I didn't get to far cause my eyes started messing with me but I can already tell it's going to be an awesome read! I'm not very familiar with who Kelly Oxford is but I did Google her before buying this book and found her twitter and tumblr. Both of which are both very entertaining. Visit her on twitter and tumblr.

What are you reading these days?!

A Beautiful Mess App

Everyone's talking about it and i'm no different. :]

In case you haven't heard, A Beautiful Mess came out with an awesome photo app. I know it's available on iTunes but I'm not sure if it's available for android yet. I'm sure they'll do something in the future though.

The app lets you add filters, doodles, text, borders, and phrases. You can purchase the addons for each of these in the app. I'm not sure how much it costs because the app doesn't make that clear.. or maybe i'm just not looking in the right place? Lol!!

Overall I think it's cute and a creative little app. A little change to the regular photo apps that are out there.

The app costs $.99 in the iTunes store and so far I haven't found any issues with it. It doesn't freeze and it loads pretty fast. You can share the photo once you're done and it saves to your phone automatically. I'm sure i'll be experimenting some more with it so check out my instagram. Also search #abeautifulmess on instagram and you can see how others are using it.

Let me know what you think and whether or not it's an app you think you'll use a lot.

..till next time ;]

Mama's Day!

Mother's day was pretty awesome! Anytime my sister, mom and I are together it's like a straight up comedy show. We clown so much and laugh so hard that I can only imagine what people are saying at us Lol! It's been rainy and pretty nasty in Houston the last couple of days so I was pretty surprised that yesterday was such a gorgeous day. Hot as hell, but still a very nice day!

How was your Mother's Day?!

..till next time ;]
