WORLD OF WARCRAFT BABY NAMES TOP 10
I love everything about researching and finding unique and unusual baby names. Please don’t judge me. Plus, I’m totally willing to share my research! In our Best baby names series, we search for names from games, geeky series, comics, or movies. But this time I sat down for a game I hadn’t touched for 2 years (!). And to be honest, I fell for the ‘ new expansion trap’, again. Have you guessed the game? Yep, It’s time for the best World of Warcraft baby names! Let’s review.
It’s autumn again and for GGG that means that we are heading to ‘de Jaarbeurs’. A well-known event building in Utrecht where gamers gather every year to visit gaming events. Somehow they manage to always organize these events around this time of year. But this year was special. It was the very first-time Gameforce was being held in Utrecht, or even in the Netherlands. So we were excited to check it out! During our visit, a small stall called La Fem Art immediately caught our eye. Femke, the digital designer behind the stand, who is also an illustrator and fantasy nerd was selling her fantastic art! We were all in love with her beautiful prints and stickers, all about strong female characters and with a charming vintage style. We couldn’t leave empty-handed and spend some of our gold on some must-have stickers for our journals.
Unlike most gamers my age, I had never played the game until the release of Animal Crossing New Horizon. In my mind it was a game for children and ‘living together on an island’ didn’t really appeal to me. However, the closer we got to the release of New Horizon, the more curious I became about the hype. Since fellow Girl Gamer Galaxy blogger Nicky was also super excited, I decided to try it with all the consequences that followed. I will tell you how I got addicted to this game and why I stopped playing Animal Crossing.
When my eyes fell on the sneakers from the Pokémon x Adidas collection, I was immediately sold! Because I also fit the largest size of children’s shoes, I had even more options! In the end the pixel Pikachu stole my heart! After many wears these are all worn out, and it was time to scour the internet for a new pair. To make life a bit easier for you, I’m sharing my top five geeky sneakers with matching socks with you! Unfortunately, some collaborations like Nintendo x Vans & Puma x Animal Crossing are sold out, but you can always try your luck at finding them being sold somewhere online.
Spring is in the air, but the weather doesn’t always know that. While typing this article the beautiful spring weather has turned into rainy weather and that made me completely in the mood for a quick and easy DIY project. After poking around in my ‘craft closet’, my eye fell on a box that I had received for Christmas: the Super Mario Bros. build a level mug where you can design your own level. Let’s-a Go!
I love everything about researching and finding unique and unusual baby names. Hey, don’t judge… Lucky for you I’m willing to share my research! In this Best baby names series I will look into different names from games, geeky series, comics, or movies. This time another game from my list of favorite games will be researched for some cute names. It’s time for the best League of Legends baby names!
‘DIY Pokémon necklaces’ Gotta make them all!
Many of you walk hours on end just to catch every Pokémon out there. And now you can do this in style. By making homemade Pokémon necklaces! And I can help you make them. See, I often visit flea markets and second-hand stores looking for fun stuff for my game collection. And while I was out and about, I got the idea to start looking for small Pokémon that I could then turn into my very own Pokémon necklace. Of course you can also make bracelets, earrings, rings or keychains and instead of Pokémon you can use any small figurine. But for me it’s Pokémon all the way!
