Today’s return‑mail haul was small but definitely entertaining.

First up was a bra that Heather modeled for us like she was auditioning for QVC. Full commitment. We love a confident queen.

Next, we pulled out a jar of nourishing face and body cream, and rounding out the trio was a basic black shirt. simple, wearable, and always useful, even if it’s not the most thrilling thing to unbox.

Coming Fall 2026- Last Laugh - A Domme Mom Murder Mystery

2026-05-14T21:00:00.000-07:00

At Jester’s Landing, the rides aren’t the only things that’ll make you scream.

When Atlantic City’s most notorious clown fetishist turns up dead minus his head, suspicion falls on his favorite dominatrix. Especially after he cuts his bitter family out of the will and leaves her his entire fortune.

Head domme Rhonda Campbell, aka Mistress Kali, refuses to let her friend take a flogging for a murder she didn’t commit. She dives into a case where the scandals are stickier than cotton candy and the suspects are strapped to their own emotional roller coasters.

After a month working security at D.O.M.M.E., LLC, Detective Jason Dee thought he’d seen every kink in the carnival, but this investigation tests his limits. Between wrangling his partner’s clown phobia, surviving the Dungeon’s circus-themed fundraiser, and keeping his feelings for Rhonda on a short leash, he’s juggling more than evidence. He’s trying to catch a killer determined to get the last laugh.

****************************

If you haven't already, check out the first two books in the series, Tickled to Death and Blow the Whistle!

Crime was yesterday’s kink… until it came crawling back.

Former paralegal Rhonda Campbell left the law behind when she swapped legal pads for latex. Now, as Mistress Kali, she runs the most exclusive BDSM dungeon in Atlantic City, where pleasure pays the bills and fantasy is always in play—until a longtime client is smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.

Enter newly relocated Detective Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real case—because so far, New Jersey’s biggest offense seems to be overpriced cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.

With a killer on the loose and tensions rising, Rhonda and Jason must combine their expertise in sex and homicide to crack the case—before another victim is tickled to death.

Grab a copy of Tickled to Death today. Available exclusively on Amazon.

At Bayside Women’s Correctional Facility, justice isn’t just blind. It’s bound, gagged, and begging for mercy.

Rhonda Campbell thought she flogged her last case with the Atlantic City Police, but when an inmate turns up dead with telltale suspension marks, the cops come calling again. With the murder pointing to kink, coverups, and dirty power plays, Rhonda agrees to go undercover behind bars, where the guards are shady, the gangs are mean, and the jumpsuits are definitely not her color.

Meanwhile, Detective Jason Dee’s been reassigned from homicide to handling crop-wielding dominas and wayward subs. While Rhonda plays prisoner, he and his partner are stuck guarding the Dungeon. His feelings for Mistress Kali are as complex as her contract negotiations and just as dangerous, but when the prison gig needs a visitor with street cred, Jason’s all in, even if playing her pimp means risking more than just his dignity.

With lives on the line and secrets tightening like a velvet cuff, Rhonda and Jason need to blow the whistle on this prison scandal before another girl ends up permanently suspended.

Walmart Electronics Mystery Box

2026-05-12T16:08:00.000-07:00

Today I unboxed a Walmart Electronics Mystery Box, which you can grab on their website for about $25. They promise anywhere from 3 to 15 items, and the photo online makes the box look pretty big… so when mine arrived and it was tiny, I braced myself for disappointment.

But this little box proved that size doesn’t matter in the mystery‑box world.

Inside were only three items, but every single one was a winner:

A smart watch — sleek, functional, and perfect for one of the kids.
A speaker — surprisingly good quality for a mystery‑box pull.
Real Apple AirPods — the kind of surprise that makes the whole box worth it.

My kids were definitely happy with this one, and honestly, so was I. Sometimes the smallest boxes pack the biggest surprises.

Next, she pulled out an adorable Pac‑Man bag which is bright, retro, and perfect for anyone who grew up dodging ghosts and chasing fruit.

Star Trek Comic Haul — Thrift Store Win or Warp‑Speed Ripoff?

2026-05-09T16:19:00.000-07:00

Today’s thrift‑store treasure hunt turned into a full‑on Star Trek score for Spencer. We found a set of 36 vintage Star Trek comics, ranging from the early eighties to the early nineties, all in surprisingly good condition for their age.

They were marked at $2 each, but we grabbed the whole set for $50, which felt like a steal. The video below shows all the covers, and the artwork alone is worth flipping through.

@authorlauradeluca Star Trek Comics - We’re these worth $50 #startrek #dccomics #comictok ♬ original sound - Laura Deluca

Now here’s where I need your input: Did we get a good deal or get ripped off? I already have my opinion, but I love hearing what other collectors, fans, and bargain hunters think. Whether you’re a Trekkie, a comic nerd, or just someone who loves a good thrift‑store find, let me know your thoughts.

Today Heather and I unboxed an Amazon mystery box from Resellables. These boxes go for $55 on their website and are packed by Amazon themselves, meaning the seller has no idea what’s inside.

Nicky’s Picks: Robot Dogs, Fall Fleece & Austin Powers Chic

2026-05-02T21:00:00.000-07:00

My son Nicky unboxed a few items today, and since he doesn’t like being on video, I’m sharing photos of the best finds.

1) Robot Dogs

We got three of these adorable little “robot dogs.” They’re basically stuffed animals that yip. The definitely aren't the hyper‑realistic pets the AI‑generated ads pretend they are. Seriously, companies, just be honest. Kids would love these exactly as they are! I actually bought one for my oldest daughter years ago at the mall, and she adored it, so these brought back a little nostalgia.

2) Green Fleece Top Next up was a cozy green fleece top that I’ll definitely be wearing once fall hits the Jersey Shore.

3) Blue Velour Top With Frilly Sleeves And finally, the showstopper is a blue velour top with frilly sleeves that is giving full Austin Powers vibes. “Yeah, baby, yeah!”

That’s a wrap on Nicky’s picks. Even off‑camera, he still manages to bring the fun.

Finally, Heather pulled out four salad spinners. Another day, another round of unclaimed‑mail magi, and Heather always brings the best energy.

Today’s unclaimed mail came with a little bit of everything.

First up was a mini cart/shelf, the kind of thing that could either organize your life or drive you insane trying to assemble it.

Next, I unboxed an electric hairbrush that came with multiple accessories. It looks like one of those all‑in‑one styling tools that promises salon hair but I'll be passing it to a friend.

And finally, Christmas golf set to help get us in the holiday spirit early.

Another day, another round of surprises.

Inside were lollipop ornaments, tiny puppy decorations, and a whole forest of mini Christmas trees. Everything was bright and cheerful, like someone bottled holiday spirit and dumped it straight into a cardboard box.

Hippie Bags, Puppet Mittens & Perimenopause Barbie

2026-04-26T09:07:00.000-07:00

Today’s unboxing break belongs to my youngest, Nicky. He isn’t comfortable being on video, but I couldn’t leave him out of the fun. He’s been opening boxes every day behind the scenes. Most were duds, but a few were too good not to share. No video this time, but we’ve got photos, these three deserve their moment.

1) Hippie Overnight Bag This adorable bag looks like a little Volkswagen bus with peace signs, bright colors, total retro vibes. It’s perfect for day trips, so I’m passing it along to my friend Diane, who just retired and will put it to good use.

2) Puppet Mittens These might be the cutest thing we’ve ever unboxed. They’re mitten, but also hand puppets. Ducks, to be exact. Completely impractical but delightful.

3) Pink PJs I don’t know who would actually sleep in these, but they were too funny not to share. Bright pink, feathery cuffs, and made from the cheapest polyester known to mankind. I tried them on for the photo, and I looked like Perimenopause Barbie.

And that’s a wrap on Nicky’s Top Three. Even off‑camera, he still brings the magic.

Unclaimed Mail - Karen Style

2026-04-25T09:06:00.000-07:00

Her haul did not disappoint. First, she opened three pairs of reading glasses. She tried them on like she was judging a PTA meeting.

Next up: a hair straightener, which she “might actually use,” which is high praise coming from her.

And finally, she unboxed a pair of cute casual shoes. They were too small for her, but I kept them.

Another day, another unboxing, and Karen delivered.
