It list! July 2014

1) Trueblood- not going to lie, this show got a little weird for me in season 5. I wasn't into the whole vampire religion or Billith thing. I thought it was kind of ridiculous... But that is the lovely thing about trueblood as a whole. It is ridiculous and campy and that is what has kept me watching for years and why I will continue to watch it. I still love all of the characters and I had to catch up on season 6 so that I could watch the final season now... And I've been really liking it. I have some recaps and reviews up and I will be continuing doing so every Sunday... So yeah expect some posts!

2) Gone Girl- I saw the trailer for this and I was curious. My mom has about a thousand books, so I asked her if we had this and we did and I started reading it immediately... And I'm pretty hooked. I'm really interested to see the movie now. I think it's also really well written too the way that it shifts between Nick and Amy's point of views. And it's interesting that we learn more about Amy from Nick's story and more about Nick from Amy's story. The past couple of days I've been meaning to just sit down and dedicate it to reading and finishing this book because I need to know what happens... And I haven't had time for that really...but expect a blog when I do!

3) The pool- Speaking of reading,I love reading in the pool! It is just one of my favorite things to do in the summer! Just being outside getting a bit of a tan and enjoying a good book is just super relaxing and I completely love it! Too bad it's rainy today and it sucks a lot... But when it's nice I like it a lot!

4) Corn on the cob- Another summer fave of mine! It is absolutely perfect this time of year! In Nj it's easy to find a nice local farm stand type of place and find really good corn on the cob. It just tastes good with absolutely everything and it is one of my favorite things about summer as a whole!

5) Almond Breeze Iced Coffee- This is a little hidden grocery store gem. I've been meaning to buy something like this for a while and when I saw this I got excited! I got the mocha flavored one and there is a caramel macchiato one that I'm on the lookout for too. It's made with almond milk too obviously so it's dairy free and 100 calories per cup. Yayyy yummy and I don't feel guilty... Not that I would but it's nice not to feel guilty.

6) Boathouse Salted Caramel iced coffee- this is a less healthy find that I saw at wawa. If you don't live near a Wawa... I'm sorry but this is seriously amazing and they carry boathouse in most grocery and convenience stores anyway. I only had this once but it was sooo soo good. Wayyy better than the Starbucks frappecino things. I need to find this again because I don't really go to wawa that often. This is probably less healthy than the almond breeze iced coffee... But it is probably more delicious!

7) Tammy- This is probably my movie of the summer. I liked Maleficent a lot also, but I'm a comedy fan and this is one of my new favorites! I love Melissa McCarthy and she wrote it and stars in it and it's just sooo soo great! I have a review on it and I definitely recommend seeing it. I know it got pretty bad reviews... But it's a good movie filled with laughs and I think if you're wanting to see a comedy I recommend this!

8) Blog Notebook- I have a few blogs right now and it's been a little hard to keep up with posting on them and this makes it a little easier. I just write everything I want to write before actually typing it. It's nice and makes everything more organized and really easy to keep up with. It's like a blog diary I really like it!

9) Bath and Body Works new summer collection fragrances- I couldn't just pick one, they all smell really good. I got 3 of the mini fragrance mists. Cool coconut surf is probably my favorite of all of them, it's just a nice coconutty scent. It smells a little like the Oahu mist, but this is kind of cooler. I also have hello sunshine, which is a floraly sunshiny scent. Kind of like Country Chic, but different enough for me to buy it. And then I have sunset by the pool which is another floraly light scent that I really like also. The other scents were good also... May get more minis... Probably not but I might lol.

10) New York and Company clothes- haha my own place of work is a favorite now! Lol I was looking at the new stuff when I was doing the floor set and it's all really cute and trendy. There are lots of florals and cute colors and I really think of all the time I've worked there and have been shopping there, this is like the cutest stuff. And I've always liked their clothes, but this is probably the stuff I've been most excited for in a while. It's all super cute, these are adorable work clothes, so if you're thinking of buying new cute work clothes, I definitely recommend it!

Let me know your July Musts!
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
