Woman Crush Wednesday- Elizabeth Banks

Okay... so I really want to make this post today since I'm trying to post daily... but it is 11:26 pm now so this may technically be on Thursday... I'm going to try real hard here!

Out of thinking of my first woman crush it has to be Elizabeth Banks. I just always thought that she was so pretty and she's really funny in movie and seems like the type of ballsy chick to play really goofy silly roles, but she's still a good enough actress to play in serious roles too. I think she's better suited for comedies than dramas, but she is certainly a good enough actress for either and I'm gonna say it: She could possibly win an oscar some day... or she'd be really good on television too. I'm not sure.

I first noticed her in the movie Role Models I think. I just thought she did a really good job of being funny but she was also the "girlfriend that wants her boyfriend to grow up" role. Her character mentioned that she had a pretty face in the movie and could do better than Paul Rudd, but she stayed with Paul Rudd... and I think everyone in the audience was like "yeah she could" but also like "Elizabeth Banks is such a sweetheart I doubt she'd do that in real life." Which I think is true. I think she is one of the most beautiful women but she doesn't flaunt her beauty. She's a good and successful actress and I think she'd rather have people think of her as that than for her beauty or anything.

I also think she's super awesome because she produces a lot of great movies with her husband,  which is pretty cool. She was a producer on Pitch Perfect... she also acted in Pitch Perfect and I think she was really funny and great. The role was written for Kristin Wiig, but I think Elizabeth Banks put a different spin on the role than Kristin Wiig would have, which made the character hilarious and completely Elizabeth's own.

Another great character she played was Avery Jessup on 30 Rock. She was a great counterpart to Jack Dounaghey and I thought she was one of the show's best guest stars. She just played off the whole cast really well and I really thought her and Jack were a perfect match and I really liked that storyline. I also liked the fact that when Kim Jung Un died, fans actually connected enough with that character to make Avery Jessup a TT on twitter I think, idk there was a lot of buzz when that happened. And I follow her on twitter and think that she was really shocked by the reaction and kind of thought that was awesome too. And if I were her I would think that's pretty awesome too,

Basically Elizabeth Banks is extremely beautiful, talented and smart and I want to be like her when I grow up. I've always felt she's very underrated as a "funny girl" and I've always thought she was one of the greats up there with Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Kristin Wiig... yep I'm going that far. She's legit lol.

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...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

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...
