This Weekend! Lopez at Fiesta Hermosa

This Sunday and Monday I get to catch a plane out to LAX and attend one of my favorite annual events! Fiesta Hermosa is known as the largest arts and crafts fair in Southern California, and it isn’t hard to see why. There’s a highly diverse food court, a beer and wine garden and two stages of live music all throughout the day!

Not only that, but you can peruse through the countless number of tables displaying amazing art available for purchase, and usually at a very good price!

If you remember (WAY back when), this was the first event I attended on behalf of 8th Continent. I got to meet so many new people and introduced them to 8th Continent. It was awesome because I realized that when people give it a chance, they love our soymilk as much as I do! I even made a taste testing video where people blindly tried our soymilk vs. the popular soymilk brand to see which one they preferred. Needless to say, we won. I can’t explain how much I am looking forward to seeing some of these people again and looking back on such a long and adventurous journey.

If you are planning on coming out with the kiddies, don’t fret! They have tons of entertainment for children as well! There are Pony Rides, Petting Zoos and amazing Face Painters. I got an awesome piece of art brushed on my face last year. So as you can see, it is not only for kids; but also for the kid inside of the adult.

I’ll be cruising around, taking pictures, handing out free 8th Continent and a whole bunch of coupons! Make sure to come on out and say hi! If you’re on Twitter send us a shout out when you come around.

Cupid’s 8th Continent 12 Days of Valentines!- Day 10

Hello there 8th Continent Soymilk Lovers! So, here you are again… back to my blog on day 10- this can only mean one thing. You still don’t know what to get the brighter half of your heart for Valentine’s day.

Don’t you fear! Lopez and Cupid are here! Well, at least me, Lopez, pretending to be Cupid. I should totally buy myself a pair of wings.

Anywho!

Today is an awesome craft that I got from my friends over at Creature Comforts.

You will need:

  • Two pillowcases (light colors will work best)
  • Iron-on Transfer Paper for light colored fabrics. (tee-shirt transfer paper).  Be sure that it is the correct type for your color printer.  You will need two sheets.
  • Color printer
  • Scissors
  • Iron (no steam)

How to:

Download Free valentine iron-on transfer

  1. Print the PDF onto transfer paper.  Cut out carefully around the text, leaving the letters attached with a small amount of the transfer paper (see image one for how I did it).  Be careful not to scratch the surface of your transfer paper while working.  Note: the text will print backwards.  It will read correctly when applied to your pillowcases.
  2. Lay your pillowcases out on a flat surface and line the words and letters up on your pillowcases with the paper-backing facing up (be sure that both sides of your text will line up to read correctly once the pillows are in use).  To give yourself an easy guide for lining up the two sections of text simply fold pillowcases in half lengthwise and insert a pin to mark where the center is.
  3. A trick for ensuring that your text is straight before ironing, is to fold the lower half of your pillowcase up to the center (where you inserted the pin).  The bottom edge is now a nice straight guideline for you to arrange your words along.  I arranged my letters approximately 2 inches away from the outside edge so that when the pillowcase was stuffed the text would still be visible.  Once everything is straight iron your text following directions for use found inside your iron-on transfer paper packaging.
  4. Allow design to cool for 2 minutes before carefully removing the paper backing.  For optimum usability and softness, wash before use.

And how do you give this awesome gift to the one that makes your heart got thumpety thump?

How about this:

I’m picturing vanilla scented candles, rose petals, vegan chocolate fondue, the first mix-tape you ever made each other playing softly in the background… and as that special loved one looks at the bed they see the pillow cases. “U Complete Me” The tears start welling up in the eyes, the fingers tremble, and there is a carton of 8th Continent chocolate soymilk in a silver bucket being chilled. You meet each other’s gazes and then you softly whisper in a Dr. Evil voice. “You complete me.”

And that is how you ruin a moment on Valentine’s Day Lopez style.

Or you could do everything besides the Dr. Evil impersonation and have a fabulously romantic Valentine’s Day!

Keep tuning back in for some more awesome ideas on what to do/make for Valentine’s Day!
