Spider-Man Homecoming DIY GoodwillNYNJ Challenge

Spider-Man Homecoming is a movie you will definitely want to see this summer with friends and family! It’s great for all Spidey fans young and old and gives us a sneak peek into a high school Peter Parker. Recently I had the chance to come face to face with Tom Holland, Spider-Man after attending the Sony Spider-Man Homecoming Press Junket. As part of the Press Junket a group of Mommy Bloggers were taken to Good Will Chelsea, NYC to take part in our very own Spider-Man DIY (do it yourself) Challenge. After a brief intro to the store each blogger was given a $25 gift card and fifteen minutes to shop for a Spidey inspired outfit. You could see the brains spinning as the bloggers raced against each other and against the clock to grab items that reminded them of Spider-Man. Many of us ran directly to the reds, blues and blacks. We were given shout out reminders every five minutes until time was up!

The Spidey bloggers lined up comparing items and complimenting each other on their amazing finds. As for me, I was incredibly shocked at the items I found at Good Will for my own DIY! For under $25 I was able to walk away with black pants, a red and blue checked tie, a red athletic tee, a black mask, and a few little staple items. I had the perfect DIY project in my mind- Now I just had to make it come to life with the help of my daughter.

Coming home with a loaded bag from Good Will did take my family off guard. We do get into DIY’s once in a while, but it is really not the norm. So when I took out the items my kids were like- “You are going to turn that into Spider-Man???”. Doubtful as they were that day, they are not anymore! They were quite shocked as to how it all pulled together and how my daughter really took the project by the reins. With two older brothers she is quite an expert on Spider-Man! So, out came the scissors and the glue and the ruler. Spider-Man toys were also present for inspiration! As for my sons, they could not wait to see their sister take on the role of Spider-Man- and she did, she really did. She went into the DIY with all of her heart, cutting, gluing, rearranging and then posing. She not only posed for the pics, she went into full character mode- even visiting a local store as Spider-Man. It became a family effort, many laughs and a million Spider-Man memories made! You can check out the results of our DIY Challenge in pics below. We ae quite proud!

Divatress Wigs For Women- Feel Like A Diva- Be A Diva!

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.

Wigs are for everyone. From stylish to glamorous to mature there is a style for everyone at Divatress. Personally, I have never worn a wig but I can remember spending endless hours with my mom visiting wig shops in hopes of matching up to her exact hair hue. She would have loved the convenience of online shopping at the Divatress Company. My mom had the longest hair, so opposite of me, but would love to tuck it all away under the comfort of a wig that would show her style depending on the season or event she was planning to attend. I can remember being a child and trying on those wigs and all the ways they made me feel and how beautiful I felt testing out each and every one. Women today wear wigs for a variety of reasons. Whatever yours is we have found an amazing company that is a leading beauty e-commerce company. They offer thousands of wigs and hair care products. The great thing is that anyone can shop at Divatress from professional stylists, beauticians, working moms, mothers and students.  

There joy of Divatress is that there are many choices that range from synthetic to human hair to human hair blends. The prices are reasonable, too. If you are in the market for a new wig or want to test out a new hair color or style this is definitely the place to go. Colors, Waves, straight, short, long- they have it all just waiting for you!

Sony Square NYC Hosts The Spider-Man Homecoming Experience

Recently I had the distinct honor of being invited to the Spider-Man Homecoming Press Junket in NYC by Sony Pictures. In addition, our family was invited to Sony Square NYC to check out The Spider-Man Homecoming Experience. Wow! If you are visiting NYC this summer or in the area you will not want to miss out on this pure awesomeness. At this free event you can take a close up look at props straight out of the Spider-Man Homecoming movie. They even brought along two of Peter Parker’s Spider-man outfits! You will get a glimpse at the very FIRST Spider-Man comic book where Spider-Man first made his debut! This is a must do for any Spidey fan.

I must admit that the our family was pretty pumped to see an actual copy of The Day Bugle. There were also movie weapons that you would never believe are made of rubber. I had just watched the movie the night before and could totally recall seeing those two weapons in the movie. Wow!

While visiting you can also view the world through the eyes of Spider-Man during the VR experience. This is definitely worth waiting for but is also available free through Dell, Oculus, and PSVR.

There is a full set up of a wall climbing prop that will have you appear to be climbing a building! It’s quite easy to do, since you just have to lay down and pretend. Don’t worry, I won’t tell- Mums the word! You will look like a total super hero doing this.

Our family was super lucky and had a very special treat. Tom Holland himself, the real Spider-Man surprised the crowd with a meet and greet and some pics! What a great day for everyone. So, I cannot promise that Tom Holland will be there, since he was only in NYC for the press conference, but non the less, you will definitely want to clear out some time to visit with your family, friends or by yourself. Any way you cut it, it’s a great event. Visit Sony Square NYC now through August for the Spider-Man Homecoming experience! You’ll be glad you did. Check out our video below with more Sony Square NYC fun, more props, meeting Spider-Man and meeting Tom Holland! Check out everything right here: https://www.sony.com/square-nyc/

Sony’s Spider-Man Homecoming Synopsis: A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming.  Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
