It List: September 2014

1) Bath and Body Works Fall Scents- I could probably go on forever of all my favorite fall things... but I'm just going to say as a whole, I friggin love bath and body works fall fragrances. Their Pocketbacks are amazing, particularly like the Pumpkin Cupcake, Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and Pumpkin Latte. Their Wallflowers are amazing, I have Spiced Pumpkin cider in right now. And their new fall scents are absolutely some of the best products that they've ever come out with. Comfort, which smells like Pumpkin Latte and Marshmallow is amazing, even my dog sniffs me like crazy when I wear it. Their Apple and Buttered Rum Orchard is amazing too, again my dog sniffs me like crazy when I wear that. And the Plum Moscatto and Almond Harvest scent is amazing too! All by far  3 of my favorite scents ever, let alone for fall! I have the travel sprays and the shower gel and the triple moisture body lotions. All around just good. Also I like the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin one (if you can't tell... I like Pumpkin) but I only really like it in the lotion. I also have 3 fall mini candles... Salted Caramel Corn, Pumpkin Caramel Latte, and Leaves. Ohhh my gosh just awesome all around.

2) Pumpkin flavored everything- This should be no surprise. I have blogged several blogs about my love of pumpkin... but I just love it so much! It is my favorite seasonal thing, besides Egg Nog.
It is just sooo soo good. I love it.

3) The Maze Runner- I have a review on this movie. It was FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend it, especially if you loved the book but couldn't quite picture all the cool things that were happening. It's just sooo soo good.

4) Once Upon A Time- I used to love this show but I kind of stopped watching because I had work on Sunday nights and usually I missed the first half of the show... but now I've been catching up and hopefully I'll be able to get it by this upcoming season. I don't know what to think about the Elsa and Anna plot twist... because I really didn't like Frozen all that much... but I'm excited for it. It should be pretty cool.

5) L'oreal EverCreme Nourishing Leave in Spray- This stuff is amazing. I have very tangly hair and this tamed and got rid of my tangles and it just made my hair so easy to comb through. I like it more than the It's A Ten Miracle Leave in Spray... I just really like it. It also comes in a really big bottle and you don't need a whole lot and it's only 7.99! I'm sold! Lol.

6) The League- So happy this show is back! It's so soo funny and good. It's kind of a dude show about football with guy humor... but I like it so yeah.

7) Secrets by Mary Lambert- I was hoping she would start releasing her own stuff after the success of the Macklemore song. Now that I'm starting to get a little tired of everything else on the radio, I'm happy to see something a little different and funny and I just like it. I'll probably get tired of it like other songs, but I still really like it and it makes me happy.

8) My Big Fat Greek Wedding- This movie has been on HBO A LOT lately! Probably because there's going to be a sequel in the near future. I memorized every line of this movie when I was in 5th grade and it helped me become the Shannon I am today. I would have never started writing if it weren't for this movie and yeah. I probably wouldn't be who I am today without My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Princess Diaries, Friends, and Arrested Development. All very different things but an equally important part of who I am now!

9) How Did This Get Made- This is something that has been on my It List in the past, but now I actually started to watch the movies they're doing and I really like it. I watched LOL with Miley Cyrus and Glitter with Mariah Carey. The Glitter episode just aired today and it was AMAZING! Glitter is a pretty terrible movie, but its super fun to watch and they just did a great job reviewing it.

10) Two Dots- Another Repeat-favorite. I love this game, its the only game I really play consistently on my phone. They just did an update, which makes it slightly less impossible and its a little more fun. I love seeing Apps when they start out and with all the updates how it improves and stuff like that. It's a good game though!


Byeee! I'll do a few TV Reviews on Friday. I wanted to do a Gotham review today, but I think I'll wait to review How To Get Away With Murder and maybe I'll watch Scorpion or something.

Byeee!

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...
