Appyness #5- Apps You should Download

Sooo I'm gonna do something a little different today. Instead of downloading an app just to play with and delete, I'm going to tell you my most loved, most trusted apps.

I don't think I have a whole lot of apps, and a lot of the ones I use a lot are pretty popular ones... so I'm just going to talk about the ones maybe you need to download still. Ohhh and also these are all free apps which are pretty much all I download.

1) Stitcher- This is one of the most entertaining apps in my opinion. If you like podcasts or want to listen to podcasts, or like comedians or news... this is a great app for you. Basically it lets you listen to any podcast you want whenever you want. It's so much easier than downloading each show or subscribing, I find I don't listen to shows then. My favorite podcasts right now are How Did This Get Made where Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas talk about crazy bad movies with a guest... usually a hilarious comedian. It's so funny. I'm obsessed with bad movies so I love it. And of course, Welcome To Nightvale... which I can't even explain... but if you like Parks and Rec I have a feeling you would like Nightvale. It isn't necessarily that similar, there are similar aspects but Nightvale is more paranormal and absurd... but the humor is similar. Listen to it! It grows on you I really love it.

2) Shazam- Hear a song on the radio you like, but don't know who sings it? SHAZAM THAT SHIZ AND IT WILL TELL YOU! This app is not only super useful, but I really love the instant gratification of it. I wish IMDB came out with an app like this so that you could take a picture of an actor or something and it would bring up everything that they were on so that you could find out how you know them. Actually I really wish I could Shazam everything. When I need to know something, I need to know everything about it RIGHT THEN and that would greatly GREATLY help me! Lol.

3) Hopstop- If you live in a city or are just commuting to a city or going to the city for a day... this app is super helpful! It's really easy to use, you just kinda say where you're trying to go and where you're coming from and it will get you there as easily and fast as possible. Sooo simple right? I mean if you still know someone that knows the subway system that helps too. I've lived near NY all my life, have been there many times and I still don't know the subway system that well, so this helps a lot!

4) Weather Puppies- It just tells you the weather but with adorable puppies. It's not something you necessarily need... but I just think its fun and I want to get my weather the most adorable way possible. Sometimes it doesn't work well with the locations and the wifi, but it's easy enough to use and accurate enough to be on the top 5 list.

5) Sudoku-I play a lot of games on my phone, but this is the only one that makes me feel like I've accomplished something. Sometimes I get super addicted to it, sometimes I don't. I never thought I'd be able to do the Expert mode levels, but now that's all I do and I think its the most fun. I always come back to this app, so its in the top 5.

So yeah those are the 5 apps I will always have on whatever phone I get assuming they are available. If I had no room on my phone for apps, basically I'd only want these 5 and I would be happy. What are your top 5? Do you like these apps? Let me know!

Byeeeee!

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...

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...
