Woman Crush Wednesday: Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer

So 2 of my most recent woman crushes just happen to be two of the funniest women on TV. Abbi and Ilana are the stars of Broad City, which is my most recent obsession and they are awesome!

So first off the show is amazing! I watched the first episode and I really loved it but then missed all of the other episodes... but my friend Alyssa told me "NO! WATCH ALL THE OTHER EPISODES THEY ARE AMAZING!" And I did and they were. I mean there's a whole episode about hiding weed inside of your vagina. There's an episode where there is a blackout and Abbi has to poop and the toilet doesn't flush and her cute neighbor comes over... its just all so funny. Amazing concepts and Abbi and Ilana are just so funny and awkward and weird that they make the show all that much more amazing.

Amy Poehler produces the show also and she guests stars in the season finale and that's how I knew that this would be super funny. If Amy Poehler thinks its good, it must be good. And that just makes them all that more woman crushable... if one of my ultimate women crush has a women crush on these too ladies... that must make them the most funny and awesome women crushable ladies of ever. That makes sense right?

 For some reason this show really reminds me of myself and my friends, but we are honestly aren't that much like them really. Like I've never done anything that the two of them have done... other than in the first episode they're desperately trying to get money and usually I'm pretty broke sooo that's something I'd totally do. It's easy to relate to, even if you haven't been through any of these situations. It's a show for 20 something girls about 20 something girls and how they really are. My friends and I aren't anything like the "Friends" gang when they were in their 20s... we're like these girls, We talk about disgusting things and we over-share and we're just real. I mean there's a scene where Abbi and Ilana are skyping while Ilana is having sex. That has never actually happened to me and I don't think it ever will... but thats kind of the close relationships that we have. There are not that many boundaries.

And it seems like "Ohhh another show about girls in their 20s we totally need that" but no. It's different. It is a lot like Workaholics with girls, but at the same time its a different humor. I think guys should like it too. I'm going to force my guy to watch it eventually because I think he'll like it. It's totally something good to watch with your boyfriend or just watch with another friend thats a girl or something like that.

It's a fun show, these girls are awesome and totally make the show... I think they work nicely as a team without one outshining the other, which is good. And it's just nice to watch a show like this. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Byeeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
