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 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...

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...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
