Runs on Coffee and Cream

Since I started reading The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comics I've been drawn to Doreen. She's such a great character; kind-hearted, smart, witty, talkative, and just very inspiring. I really enjoyed reading The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl novel recently and it's got me back on a Squirrel Girl kick. I'm behind on a few issues of the Squirrel Girl comics but I don't think that'll be the case for long since I'm itching to read more of Squirrel Girl's adventures.

The Squirrel Girl novel was a great introduction to the character; how she became a superhero and started to use her powers for good. I could picture Doreen running around in her teddy bear hoodie with a pack of squirrels in tow.

I put together an Everyday Cosplay for Squirrel Girl because, let's be honest, I'd love to take a little bit of Squirrel Girl and put that into my everyday life. She's an incredible role model.


After putting this outfit together I am seriously wanting an acorn necklace. I think I might need to add that to my wish list.

Have a good day!

I've been busy lately with work and house chores and sewing. I've been squeezing in some TV watching and reading when I can though.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

It took me a bit to get through this book because I kept falling asleep while reading (this happens when I read mainly before bedtime). But I finished it recently and I loved it! It was such a good introduction to Squirrel Girl and I found it very inspiring. The ending actually had me tearing up. I'm a huge fan of how they write Doreen (aka Squirrel Girl) as so chatty and sarcastic and witty. I always end up laughing out loud while reading anything with her.

While transitioning into Spring I've been finding myself wearing a lot of tanks with cardigans. That way if I get too warm while I'm ironing finished sewing projects or from cleaning out a litter box, I can cool off easily stripping down to my tank top. Well, can I just recommend the amazingness of Jordandene tanks?!?! I have a few of them now. They're incredibly soft and comfy and the length is perfect! I don't have to worry about exposing too much skin when I bend over. If you've seen me on Instagram, you've seen me sporting her tanks everywhere.




What have you been loving lately?

Life has been a whirlwind of emotions lately; working a lot, sewing like crazy, getting excited for spring, getting frustrated having to shovel a ton of snow. I'm trying to stay organized, de-stressed, and positive but I've had some exhausting days. I enjoy these posts for the fact that I can look back at the good moments that I've had, no matter how small they might have been.

I picked this mug up at Chapters and I love it! Honestly, the entire Dayna Lee collection is amazing. Check it out!

Logan assumes us cleaning the bookshelf means he can investigate all areas he can fit.

I had a brutal cold for a few days a little while ago. I spent the weekend reading and relaxing to get myself better.

My craft room assistant.

Seymore can't handle me sewing for hours on end. He bugs me until I give him a solid 10 minutes of attention.

I have made a promise to myself to start doing yoga regularly again. It helps with my stress and I love how I feel afterwards.

Some days require sprinkles.

A mall date with Adam included a passionfruit bubble tea with strawberry popping bobas.

Every time there's sunshine I try my best to bask in it. It makes these long winters bearable.

Let's hope March turns out to be great and spring shows up early!

The London Toy Fair happened about a month ago and New York Toy Fair was this past weekend. That means Funko, along with other toy companies, announced new toys (either finished products, prototypes, or photos) for the upcoming year. I love seeing what's been revealed and find myself getting lost on Instagram while I look at photos from the events.

1. First up, we'll go over the Funko toys that I'm most excited for:

Parks and Recreation Pop! Figures - I'm most excited to get a Leslie Knope figure for my shelf. She's such an amazing character and I love everything she embodies.


DC Bombshells Pop! Figures - I absolutely adore the Bombshells comics and the recreation of the iconic characters. I'm really hoping they release a Batwoman figure in Series 2 since she's my favourite from the comics.



Wonder Woman Pop! Figures - I haven't seen the movie but I feel like I'm going to want everything Wonder Woman after it comes out.


Disney Pint Size Heroes - I've held off on collecting all the Disney Pop! figures, Dorbz, and other Mystery Mini blind boxes. But these figures are so unbelievably cute. I will have to practice self control to keep myself from buying all of of them!


2. I love that Gund has the rights to the Pusheen line. In the past, I've come across Pusheen products at conventions and they've always been ridiculously priced. Once Gund got their hands on Pusheen, the products have been easier to find and much more reasonably priced. I've purchased a couple of the plush blind boxes from previous series but they released the Series 4 blind boxes for 2017 and I'm so excited to buy them! I so want a Pusheen Candy Corn plushie!

3. Nendoroid figures are something I've admired from afar for years now. They're so unbelievably cute and detailed. However, they're very expensive. At the NY Toy Fair they had a poster up for some upcoming Disney/Pixar figures coming out. I have a feeling I'm going to be squeeing when I see them in person at a convention.

4. I was introduced to Kotobukiya figures years ago. Talk about detailed and gorgeous figures! I've spent a lot of time looking at the Bishoujo figures whenever we go to comic book stores. They announced the Squirrel Girl figure a little while ago but revealed the Ms Marvel figure at NY Toy Fair. Oh, how I wish I could afford all their figures!

Seeing all the new figures has been super excited for my upcoming comic conventions this year. I can't wait to look at all the booths and vendors.

It's Friday! Here are my fandom favourites of the week:

1. Teeturtle just released some new Marvel tees and they're so amazing! I can't get over how cute the Squirrel Girl design is and how accurate the Deadpool one is.



2. I haven't paid much attention to the Funko Fabrikations plushies. They're cute, but nothing I have to own. That is until I saw Stay Puft at EB Games. He's so unbelievably adorable!


3. Fan Expo Canada is my next big comic convention. It happens over labor day weekend in September and I'm always excited for it. But can we look at some of the guests that have been announced so far? I'm fangirling hard every time they announce another guest. Eeee!


What fandom things are you into this week?
