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!

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...

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...

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...
