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...

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...
