It List: March 2014!

These are so my favorite posts. I love things that I'm super into at a certain time, I love looking back and comparing. I just like this. So on with the show... or blog post.

1) Breaking Bad- Ohhhh my gosh. Breaking frickin bad. I cannot tell you how obsessed I am with this show... but let me try. I started watching it a few months back and I only saw the first 2 episodes... but it was pretty much the best thing ever. I had to take a little break from it because I didn't have Netflix for a while... but now I have it and its awesome. I just started season 2 which is where shit starts to get real... I have some midterms this week... and Idk how I'm going to get them done. All I want to do is watch Breaking Bad. I really hope I get a snow day on Monday just so that I can watch Breaking Bad all day! ... wow at the beginning of the month I started watching this and writing this blog. I'm already on season 4 now! That's how good this show is!

2) @Midnight on Comedy Central- I didn't even know this existed till a few days ago. This is a game show where celebrities comment on crazy things mostly that happen on the internet. It's kind of like Bunk and Who's Line, but its also more interactive. They always do a hashtag during the show, so you can tweet your versions of what the comedians are saying and possibly get featured on the show. One hashtag they had was "drunk films" and I did "When Harry Met Sally, Slept With Her, then Forgot Her Name." I'm quite proud of it. I should also mention that one of my followers is Senator Cory Booker... so he might have seen it... lol. (I don't want this to sound scandalous. I live in Newark and started following Rutgers Newark twitters and Cory Booker followed Newarkians while he was mayor... so it makes sense.) One of the best comedians on the show is my newest woman crush: Natasha Leggerio.

3) Irish Soda Bread- This is always a favorite, especially this time of year. I mean you can get this stuff year round at most bakeries I think... but I like to have it as my special March treat for St. Patrick's Day. I never tried this as a kid because I thought "ewww why would they put soda in bread." No one in my family ever argued... probably because they wanted it all to themselves lol. Wait till I get my hands on the Bailey's mwhahahaha.

My tip for this, put a little bit of butter in it and just put it in the microwave for a few seconds, no more than 30. It melts the butter and makes it nice and warm and delicious.

4) Shamrock Shakes- I love McDonald's Shamrock Shakes! I think I like the novelty of it more than I actually like the taste of it... but I do happen to love the taste a lot! Its a regular vanilla shake but with peppermint flavor and green food coloring. I sound like I'm such a big St. Patrick's day fan now lol. I just like the food... and the drinking. Although I've never really gone out to drink on St. Patricks Day. I live near a town with a lot of Irish pubs and places like that... so it's pretty crazy there in March. Not even St. Patrick's Day... just March in general lol. So yeah... what was I talking about? Shamrock Shakes are good!

5) Bodycology Sugar Body Scrub- Forgot to put this in my favorites last month... but holy crap guys this stuff is awesome. It's a really nice exfoliant thats only like $5.99 and I think it works better than the wayyy more expensive Bath and Body Works ones. I have the Vanilla scent, they have another one that sounds like it might smell like Twilight Woods or something like that. It's awesome. It comes in a big tub, but honestly just a little bit goes a lonnnnnnng way. I'll probably do a nighttime routine with this in it because its so frickin good!

6)  Victoria Secret Pink Sunkissed- I love this scent in Spring and summer... and right now I think we really need a little bit of summer in our lives. It is so freaking cold. This has kind of been my go too the past few days because I need to feel a sunkissed glow. Its scent is supposed to be "coconut water and sunny vanilla." The scent is a bit more complicated to me. You know those Barbie Dolls that are in bathing suits and are beach barbies and they smell like tanning oil. As a kid I thought when I was a grown up I would smell something like that while on vacation... and thats what I think this is. It's a grown up spring break barbie type of scent. I quite enjoy it. I just have the little travel sized... may need to upgrade that soon because it's getting low :(

7) Pure Seduction In Bloom VS Fantasies- This also smells quite amazing. Victoria Secret has a couple limited edition "in Bloom" scents that smell like the original scents but more floral. They just have Pure Seduction and Love Spell. I liked them both, I bought the shower gel, lotion, hand cream, body mist for Pure Seduction and the Body Mist for Love Spell. I'm not a fan of the Original Pure Seduction scent, but I loved this one! I love the Original Love Spell too... I loved the fragrance of that also so I got it. It smells like springtime. There's no better way to describe it. The Packaging is super pretty too, I'll insert a pic here too!

8) Pharell's "Happy"- You must be a miserable person if you hate this song. I've loved it since DM2 first came out. Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 are my two favorite movies, so obviously I'm gonna love it. I thought Adele Dazeem did a great job at the oscars, but Pharell really killed it. He wore shorts on the red carpet! And his signature Hat (Hat needs to be capitalized.)

9) Windsor Long Printed Sweaters- I don't think I had ever bought anything from Windsor before but this is my new obsession! They have long flowy cardigans with the cutest prints on them! I noticed that they had a star print that looked a lot like a wild fox sweater... didn't get that one yet but I did get an adorable black one with a daisy pattern on it and a white one with a tulip pattern on it. Originally they were 24.90 which I totally would have paid for them and thought it was a great deal... but luckily for me they were on sale for 14. 90 so I was quite happy with that. They're really cute and warm and I just love them!


10) The Muppets- I love the muppets! I'm sooooo excited for the new Muppet Movie to come out on Friday! You have no idea! I think that a person's favorite Muppet says a lot about them as a person. My favorites are Statler and Waldord and Miss Piggy. Who are your favorites?

That is all the hot things of right now! I'll try to post a couple movie reviews soon if I get around to it. I'm enjoying my spring break and my blog break, but I still have some ideas and stuff... so yeah!

Byeeeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
