Shannon's Sick Day Essentials.

Heyyy guys. I'm sick right now... not sure when I'm going to be posting this, but as of right now I have a fever, sore throat and I can't stop sniffling and sneezing... so here are some of my "sick day essentials."

First off I like to have warm pajamas, cooler pajamas and blankets and robes like everywhere. This helps me a lot because I've been getting super cold at some points and then I've been overheating and its just been good to have an easy change of pajamas to fix that. Ain't nobody got time for jeans or real clothes, so the pajama switch is ideal.

Next you're going to need a puppy or a cat or some sort of animal. This is optional but seriously puppies are twice as adorable and funny when you can barely think. Everything my dog Spencer has been doing today is absolutely adorable.

I also recommend cold drinks if you have a sore throat. I like Milkshakes, there is this place called Cheeburger Cheeburger that has the most delicious milkshakes on the planet and the widest variety of flavor combos and all of that good stuff. I had a s'mores milkshake on friday and my parents got me a chocolate cherry amaretto one today... so damn good. I don't know how many of these there are, so if all else fails, caramel fraps and dairy queen blizzards are good too. Or Frosty's. All so good.

I also recommend having a parent, guardian, significant other or someone to take care of you. If I were at school right now I'd probably have to go all the way to McDonalds by myself to get a milkshake and food, but thankfully they are amazing and got my milkshake for me.

Another thing is a good dumb tv show or movie. I love Breaking Bad and would probably like watching it on a sick day... but at the same time I think watching something like Trophy Wife is wayyy better. I watched some of that before and some youtube videos, and I may watch the new Skalar Brothers standup special on Netflix, or Bob's Burger's or Benchwarmers. This is not a time to watch Citizen Kane or The English Patient. This is a time to watch something stupid and funny or something on TLC. Despicable Me or any cartoon in general is great to watch on a sick day.

I also like listening to podcasts. I had a washcloth over my forehead before and was listening to Skalarbro County until falling asleep. It was really relaxing. They were talking about some sort of Packers fan website where they think people will end up being catfished... it was interesting.

Normally I'd say read a book, but my eyes have barely been open today. I'm reading Orange is The New Black right now though.

Ohhh and tissues and medicine and water and soup never hurt either. And some moisturizer for under the nose.

Byeee!

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...

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...
