November 2014: It List

1) Yes Please by Amy Poehler- Amy Poehler has a book now! And it is kind of amazing! Not kind of, really amazing and funny and really good. This will probably take me a little longer to read because its too big for me to bring on the train... plus I like extending reading these books so that I can feel like I'm bffs with these women for a long time. Lol. I love Amy Poehler and I love that she has a really funny book out.

2) Horns by Joe Hill - I just finished this book and did a review on it... I loved it. I also did a review on the movie... didn't love that so much, but the book is really detailed and had lots of twists and just kept me interested all around. It was so sooo good. It's my kind of horror book because it had a little bit of everything. There was humor, some science fiction elements, a mystery that was very real. The end was really cool. Overall great book!

3) Jiff Whips Pumpkin Spice- This is delicious. It's a peanut butter spread that tastes like Pumpkin Pie. I use it on Graham Crackers and Pumpkin Eggo Waffles... which are also delicious. Sooo soo good overal. Really really like it!

4) American Horror Story- You probably know I have a bit of an obsession with AHS... but this year I feel more obsessed. This was the first time I was really seeing the connections between the seasons... so I'm kind of trying to watch them all at once and see what's connected and stuff. It's been really fun. I have a super

5) Dunkin Donuts Sugar Cookie Latte- This latte is amazing! Its so sooo good I need to have it more often... these are just absolutely amazing. I get it hot cause its cold out. I guess you could get it iced too but you know. Its really really good. Lol.

6) Hood Egg Nog- Its a bit early for Egg Nog yet... but hear me out. Hood Egg Nog is amazing. They have different flavors. Right now I haven't been able to find my 2 favorite flavors Sugar Cookie (the absolute best thing that exists) and gingerbread. Right now the Pumpkin Egg Nog is out and that is perfect for right now. Its just yummy and amazing. They also have "Golden" Egg Nog, which I think is just regular... I'm not quite sure. Hood is what starbucks uses in their egg nog lattes. Its damn good. Lol.

7) Cashmere Glow- Lately I've really been loving this scent. Its just such a lovely warm scent, perfect for fall and winter. It smells like peach and vanilla and sandalwood... I just really love this scent. Especially this time of year! This is from Bath and Body works, btw!

8) It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Celebration Palette- I can't even with this palette. It is sooo soo good! Its a beautiful all matte neutral palette and its very VERY neutral, so at first I was kinda like... hmm idk about this... but yes. It is amazing. It comes with a transforming ombre pearl shade that is supposed to give the shadows a shimmery finish... it kind of makes the color a little different, but it still looks absolutely beautiful. I love this palette!

9) Purple- Lately I've been loving the color purple and Idk why. Different shades too. Mostly I've been liking a lighter purple thats very bright... almost like a pinky purple. I got these leggings from American Eagle that are purple and have flowers on them and then I got a sweater from Target's Mossimo line to go with it... and I've just really been liking the color purple lately. I also have purple glasses so it all kind of goes. I know it isn't all that fallish, but I like it anyway!

10) Burger Shop 2- I've been playing this game the past couple days... and it is addictive. I like playing it around this time of year and idk why... I guess cause its cold and I don't like leaving my house that much. lol. I play this on games.com btw if you're looking to find it!

11) Too Many Cooks- I feel the need to mention this one. I don't know that I completely get it... but its pretty damn funny. And it was stuck in my head all weekend... along with All About That Bass. They hadn't been stuck in my head until I'm mentioning it now.... ohhh god.

That is everything! I hope you guys are having a fun month. I love doing these posts and I will have some more holiday-themed ones along with regular ones throughout the next few months... so keep that in mind.

12) Serial- I'm listening to this podcast right now... And it is awesome. I'm really digging it. It's a podcast murder mystery serial and I'm on episode 2 and I'm confused and I need to know what happens! I love mysteries and this one is great.

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...

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...
