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...

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...
