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!

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...

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...

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...
