Favorites of the moment

I love watching favorites videos but I'm far too lazy to make videos... so I'm just gonna write a little bit about everything here. Normally I do a tumblr post on these, but I've kind of told Tumblr all of my favorites so I'm going to talk about it here. Make Up I bought kind of a lot of stuff this month... so I have quite a few favorites here. Wet n' Wild Color Icons trios- So I was super SUPER impressed with these! They're really pigmented and really soft and they're so nice. They're something that I would probably pay a lot of money for regularly because they're so high quality... and guess what? THEY ARE LESS THAN $4!  So exciting right? I got the trio in Silent Treatment and they have one color that is similar to Stila's Kitten... which is also a super pretty shade. Maybeline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue-  I've never tried the Baby Lips before, and idk why really. I had a lot of good lip balms and I didn't really feel the need to buy

50 Things about me

1) My sister chose my name- Shannon- after seeing it on the back of a chair 2) I love the Minions of Despicable Me... A lot. 3) Pink is my favorite color 4) Penne Vodka has recently become my favorite food ever and probably my favorite thing in the entire world. 5) My favorite word is Ronkonkomo. 6) I think Nicholas Cage is a very talented actor 7) I refuse to see Titanic or Avatar- I have seen a lot of Titanic in class honestly, but I didn't finish watching it and they fast forwarded Kate Winslet's boobs, so really whats the point? lol. 8) I wanted to work at Pixar when I was younger, but I really can't draw very well so I decided not to do that. 9) I honestly have no clue if I still do this or not, but from at least 2nd or 3rd grade to high school I would laugh at the end of each sentence. Mostly because 90% of what I say is supposed to be kind of funny, but I don't know if people really caught on to that. lol. 10) Arrested Development is my favorite

Woman Crush Wednesday

I see a lot of things on Instagram with Woman Crush Wednesdays and you know its nice to see the pictures of the girl crushes, but I want to go into a little more detail with it. I don't think of my woman crushes as actual woman crushes, more just beautiful ladies that I admire a lot for everything that they've contributed... mostly to women in television and women in comedy. And Basically these women are what I look up to and really wish to become. This week I'm going to talk about someone who I've been admiring a LOT lately and that is the very lovely and talented Zooey Deschannel. I just love her, I love New Girl, I love her movies and I really like her personality. She can play a lot of different characters. She's played some really funny sort of dark mean characters- similar to Aubrey Plaza- and very quirky upbeat characters- like Ellie Kemper. Lately I've been sort of copying her style and trying to replicate her look, particularly on New Girl a lot bec

Does Anyone Remember Snapple Pie?

Ahhhh Snapple Pie. The best flavor of Snapple that has ever existed. This drink was limited edition and  honestly the fact that it doesn't exist anymore bothers me wayyy to much. I think about this quite a lot, especially around Thanksgiving... and I friggin wish that Snapple would bring it back.  What is Snapple Pie you may ask? It's a limited edition flavor of snapple that tasted like pie flavors. I think they only had an Apple Pie one and a Mixed Berry one. The Berry one tasted like soap, but the Apple Pie one was amazing. Like you could actually taste Apple Pie just by drinking it and it was wonderful. It seems like it would be weird, but for some reason I really loved the flavor because it was very intense. You could taste the different textures and the crust. It was a really layered flavor like a fine wine, except it was cheap and you can buy it at the grocery store and it had no alcohol in it.  Now the sad thing is, I tell myself every year "Snapple will come

Close Encounters of the Real People Kind 1: How Not To Pick Up Chicks.

So you know those people that you see that you can't believe are real people? Or you hear a part of their conversation and you wonder how the conversation ended up at that? It's kind of like an Alien encounter, but these people are all real unfortunately and I've seen a bunch of them. And since I don't know these people, I have no shame in talking about them on the internet. I'm sure they're lovely people (well... maybe some of them) but nevertheless they could use some internet stories. I'm going to start off with a train story, which are usually the best ones. If you guys have never been to Newark Penn Station, it's a weird place and half of these stories are from there. This one was actually on the train from NY Penn to Newark Penn. I don't think this Real Person got off at Newark Penn (thank god) but still, if you want to look for crazy people, I recommend public transportation. Anyhoo so this guy was hitting on this girl and he was doing eve

THIS IS HALLOWEEN! AGHHH I'M EXCITED!

Idk why this year, but I am in such a Halloween mood. I mean I usually am in Haloween Mode, especially around Halloween (yep I'm halloween mode all year! lol) Anyhoo I just figured I'd list some things that you should do around halloween... that it's probably too late for you to do now, because I just made this blog a few days before halloween... oh well. Some are general fall things. 1) Going to Fright Fest- Six Flags is just a fun place, and Fright Fest is just the most fun. They have the terror trails which are all like different themed haunted places... and I've walked through all of them. And gotten pretty scared in most of them. Idk if its different at different six flags, but I'll just talk about the ones at my six flags cause I feel like talking a lot and it seems worth mentioning. They have an Asylum, a haunted Manor, a Vodoo Island, something called wasteland which is like a post apocalyptic plant type world, and theres something called total Darkness wh

Welcome to my blog

Sooo this is my blog... it's new and to be quite honest idk what it's all going to be about yet... I guess I'll figure that out. There will probably be a little bit of everything on here. I'm going to try to post as often as I can, but I want everything to be a good quality post, so if I do nothing one day idk if I'll post that day. The title is a work in progress... but then again so is everything in life. Maybe that will be my title. Idk. I don't want to change my name every 5 seconds, but until I find something that screams SHANNON (btw my name is Shannon) it's going to be whatever the hell I just named it (it's already too long for me to remember... ugh) Anyway... enough about that. Have a fun day and uhhh thanks for reading this thing!
