Thoughts on Soda

So, it seems completely clear that no matter how you look at it, Soda is pretty terrible for you. I know that if I gave up soda for good, I would survive, I'd lose weight, I'd be much healthier. Also when I'm low on cash at school, I always end up spending too much money on soda and coffee and things like that.

I don't think I have a problem with soda or anything, if I really wanted to, I could totally quit at any time. I've gone without it for long periods of time before, I can probably do it again. Here's the thing though, I would absolutely hate doing that. It seems like such an easy and logical solution, but for some reason, I cannot actually bring myself to do it! And I don't completely know why!

I feel like I'm slightly more responsible now that I'm 22 and that I should make healthier choices, because you're only 22 once and I probably won't be quite as healthy when I get older and stuff like that. And whenever I hear about people not giving soda to their kids, I think its such a smart idea. If I had kids, I wouldn't want to keep soda in the house because I wouldn't want them to see it... but in all honesty I would still want to drink it. So I'd probably end up keeping a secret stash somewhere and never ever let anyone in my house know I have soda.

And I'm not like super against soda for kids. I drank soda as a kid and I'm find (unless this is an addiction and it is a problem...) but I feel like if I can help my kids be healthier, it wouldn't be a bad choice. I mean I am 22 and have no kids as of now so I really don't have to worry about it for a very very very long time if at all, but still.

Anyway this was just kind of a strange post about something thats been sort of a "flicker" thought in my mind. It's not a thought that's really on or off, its just there? I don't know why exactly I'm calling it a flicker though, but that seems like a good name for it, so I'm going with it.

What do you guys think? Is soda terrible for me and my hypothetical future children? Let me know and stuff!
-Byeeeeee!

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...
