MAKE PUMPKIN SPICE COOL AGAIN!

Recently, it has come to my attention that one of the best seasonal things in the world is not cool anymore... Which I'm sorry, but I will not stand for.

There are few things I can say I genuinely love in this world... and I can say without a doubt Pumpkin Spice is one of them. Not Pumpkin Pie, that shit is gross, but pumpkin flavored anything... I'm on board for. Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Delicious! Waffles???? Sign me up! Thomas's Pumpkin Bagels? I'm disappointed because I'm pretty sure these don't exist anymore but they are fantastic.

And now because of the buzz a certain internet feed is giving the product (not naming names... although I kind of think I just did.). It's become not cool anymore. Apparently liking pumpkin spice makes you a basic bitch. I'm sorry, but I refuse to be a basic bitch, and I REFUSE to give up my love of pumpkin spice. I'm a pretty cool bitch if I do say so myself. I have a leather jacket even. I mean I haven't worn it yet, but I think just the fact that I have it makes me a pretty cool bitch. Maybe I'm not a bad bitch until I wear my leather jacket... but of all the bitches in all the world I AM CERTAINLY NOT A BASIC ONE!

Now I'm not all that concerned with my status as a cool bitch. I'm very confident in my coolness. Everything I liked before hipsters? They start liking and then it makes me like it a little less. You know how cool Arrested Development and Fall Out Boy were when they weren't cool? They were awesome! Now that Fall Out Boy is cool, they're concert tickets are SOOOOOOOoooooOOO expensive and their concerts sell out fast. And they aren't even nearly as good. And Arrested Development... well it's still pretty cool. But still now that its cool, its different. You know?

And now that Chris Pratt is hot, Parks and Rec is going to be cool now and it just isn't the same.

Now to be clear, I realize I'm saying I don't like that these things are cool now, but I'm upset that Pumpkin isn't cool anymore. Arrested Development, Parks and Rec and Fall Out Boy were never really uncool the way that pumpkin is being made uncool. Like nobody would be like "wow you're such a basic bitch for liking Arrested Development" when it wasn't cool. People just didn't know about it really. It wasn't uncool to like it, it just wasn't cool because it wasn't on the radar. Now Pumpkin Spice is very much on the radar and its very much being made uncool.

And you know what the worst part is? Because hipsters are making it uncool IT'S TOTALLY GOING TO GET COOL AGAIN! But like in May or something. You know, to be ironic. That is the worst kind of cool!

So I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm going to enjoy my pumpkin spice flavored things as long as they are available. Hell, I even have some pumpkin spice hand sanitizers and wallflowers that I know I'm going to use well after fall! I don't care if  it is cool, uncool or so uncool its cool again. I'm going to enjoy it because I like it. And I'm a cool bitch, so I know what's cool.

LOL please don't take this post too seriously.

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...
