August 2014:It List!

1) The Princess Diaries books- This was my favorite book series as a child, I did a whole Throwback Thursday post on this a little whole ago. I think it's absolutely brilliant. Even as an adult,it's still really funny! It's so much different reading these now, which again I talked a lot about in my Throwback Thursday so I don't want to repeat myself. I can also read these a lot quicker now and I don't have to wait months for the next book, so it's a little less annoying that way too. 

These are also put together nicely. They have the regular larger books, but they have mini books like "project princess" Valentine Princess" "The Princess Present" and "Sweet 16 Princess" that will be fun to read around their corresponding holidays. Right now I'm reading them in the order they're supposed to be in and then I'll probably pick up the holiday themed ones at the holidays also. 

2) Cool Ranch Doritos-  I probably haven't had these in years. I used to prefer the Nacho Cheese ones, but my mom thought I liked cool ranch and bought me that by mistake... And I figured I would give it another try. And I love it! I'm totally addicted! 

3) Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle- I've talked about Brownie Brottle before, and it is amazing. I didn't think there would ever be a better snack... But then I tried the Salted Caramel kind and they are even better! They have these at Costco and in smaller bags at Hallmark... But trust me you'll want the bigger bag, it's so good it is worh the costco membership! It's just sooo sooo yummy! 

4) Guardians of The Galaxy- I already have a review of this movie, but really it is awesome! I've already been in love with Chris Pratt since Parks and Rec first started, and now I love him even more. He is just soo good in it. And the other characters are really good too! I thought it would be weird with the talking tree and raccoon and the green and blue people, but it is completely amazing! It's like Star Wars with a kickass soundtrack that is funnier also... Just sooo soo good! I kind of want to see it again! 

5) Weird Al- I obviously love Weird Al, I signed the petition to get him to the Super Bowl, I've been obsessed with all of his new videos, I've probably watched trapped in the drive through about a hundred times by now..and I just really like him right now. I love that he's the first #1 comedy album on iTunes...he's just too too funny and great. One of the funniest people ever! 

6) Garfunkel and Oates- This is a new tv show based off of a web comedy-folk duo made up of two awesomely funny ladies: Rikki Lindhome and Kate Micucci. It's a little like a female flight of the Conchords, but they are completely different shows. They're their own thing, not just a copy but if you like Flight of The Conchords, you'll probably like this. I youtubed some of their other songs also and I'm obsessed. All around great. They have some great guest stars on the show also, weird al is even going to be on it! Such a fun show! I will definitely be watching it and maybe I'll even do a full review soon! 

7) VS Fantasies Vanilla Lace- I've tried this as a body wash before and I loved it, and I had a coupon for a free vs fantasies spray and I knew what I was getting right away! I love this because it's a warmer type of vanilla fragrance that has a bit of a musk... Not really a musk but a more warmer scent to it than most. It's a great fall scent and I know I'll be using it a lot! 

8) My New Leather Jacket- I just got this from New York and Company. I had been wanting one since I started working there, and now I finally caved and got one! I was going to get a brown one, but the black goes with everything and someone bought the last Brown one in my size lol. I love it so much! I haven't gotten use out of it yet, but I love just looking at it, and I know when it gets cooler, I'll be wearing it all the time! 

9) Black Cherry Merlot hand soap- This is a hand soap obsession? Kind of random but the scent is so nice and it linger a little bit. It doesn't smell like Merlot, just like a black cherry candy. It's super delicious and not overpowering. I just really like it! 

10) Auntie Anne's Pretzel Nuggets- i work right across from an Auntie Anne's of corse I'm always obsessed with these pretzel nuggets! They have some new flavors too. I've tried the Pepperoni and the Almond...and they're a little weird, not going to lie but I like them. The almond isn't as good as the almond pretzel and the Pepperoni I was surprised I liked the pepperoni and it seems like that would work better as a pretzel too... But overall I really liked it. They also taste good microwaved. In my microwave, 13 seconds is perfect. 10 isn't enough and 15 burns them, but 13 is just fine. I would only do it after a day, or just later that night... But overall super good! 

That is all that is it for this month. These are some really it things and I'm super into all of them. Just thought I'd point that out lol. 

BYEEEE!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
