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 where they pull you on a rope through a dark room. I didn't go in the dark room thing cause thats a lil too much but the rest are quite great. And if you don't live near a Six Flags, there are tons of haunted houses everywhere and usually the local haunted houses are super scary. I think its best when they're done by like a drama department or something like that, cause then everyone really gets into character and its just twice as scary.

2) American Horror Story- I LOVE this show. This is probably what has gotten me the most excited for Halloween because it's been sooooo good this season, and they usually do an extra amazing special on Halloween. I loved the first season, and the season thats on now may become my favorite. If you want something really scary and disturbing, season 2 is where its at. I didn't personally love season 2, but it was definitely really really scary and hard to watch at times.

3) 13 Nights of Halloween- I've actually been a little disappointed in it this year because they seem to be focusing on Twilight and Pretty Little Liars, which aren't really my thing. But I always love when they have The Adam's Family (both movies), The Nightmare Before Christmas, and of corse Hocus Pocus. I saw on the schedule Death Becomes her was either on already or its going to be on... and that movie is great. It's a little boring, but its one of those kind of wacky, over the top 80s-90s type movies that I really love. They don't make many of those anymore and those are like my favorite type of movies. OHHH and Beetlejuice. Can't forget about good old Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice... ohhh no.

4) Scary movies- Scary movies are also great. I'm not really someone that always watches scary movies, just around Halloween and in the summer sometimes. I just watched Cabin in the Woods which was fantastic and has a little bit of everything. I also love the Paranormal Activity movies, I know what you did last summer is a pretty good one, Shaun of the Dead is pretty spectacular, although a comedy. Still has zombies. And I have to mention the scary movie with the best twist ending I've ever seen: Sleepaway Camp. I don't care if you like twist endings or horror films, this is a movie everyone should see and I don't think anyone has. I'm not going to give anything away, but its a complete shocker that you wouldn't expect... yet there are totally hints all throughout the movie. And the murders in the movie are just so clever and completely different. It's just amazing... just watch it now somehow. somewhere.

5) Go to the Mall and Walk past Bath and Body Works and Just smell it- OMG it's amazing. I got 3 of the fall wallflowers, Pumpkin Cupcake, Pumpkin Caramel Latte, And Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. And The pocketbac hand sanitizers in cinnamon rolls, pumpkin cupcake and creamy pumpkin. Last year they had Candy Corn, and I'm so disappointed that they don't have it this year cause I lost mine :(

6) Pumpkin Flavored anything- Dunkin's White Chocolate Pumpkin, Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin donuts, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies. If you're Harry Potter PUMPKIN JUICE! Also Pumpkin Waffles, Pumpkin English Muffins, Pumpkin Bagels sometimes. Pumpkins out the wazoo basically.

7) Special Halloween flavors- Last year I think they came out with the most stuff. I think theres less this year. Orange Kit Cats, which are amazing because they are white chocolate on the outside and chocolate on the inside. Candy Corn M&Ms, which are white chocolate and they taste awesome. Candy Corn Oreos, which I haven't tried but they exist and thats a thing. Caramel Apple Milky Ways which were pretty awesome but I don't think they make them anymore. Caramel Apple lollipops which are the best of any lollipops. And just candy in general. It's way better when its acceptable to buy tons of them and they're on sale and they're technically not for you. lol. Just fantasticness.

I probably have more of these, but I feel like I'm going to shift into Christmas territory, and I probably shouldn't do that for another few days if I want to be annoying. Lol.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
