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!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
