Christmas It List!

Yes! It is Christmas time, so I will talk about my It list for things that are an absolute must around the holidays!

1) ABC Family's 25 days of Christmas- This is probably one of my favorite things about the holidays. They show the best holiday movies, and just some good movies in general. They have all the claymation movies, both Grinch Movies, Elf and Christmas Vacation. Plus every once and a while they have good Disney movies also like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Hercules. When I went to Disney for high school we came back and they were showing all the classic Disney movies and that just made me feel really good. That made me like Disney even better... plus Elf and Christmas Vacation are my other favorites! Love it!

2) Egg Nog- I've mentioned my love for Nog many a times on this blog. I could even do a whole Nog Blog, but I won't. My favorite Egg Nog of ALL TIME was Hood's Sugar Cookie Egg Nog... and I don't think they make that anymore which upsets me to my very core. Lol. I want to find the Hood farm or whatever and yell at them until they bring it back... but yeah. Nog in general is my fave.

3) Land o' Lakes Hot Chocolate- My other fave! I feel like this is probably underrated, but its always sold out at my grocery store, so I guess it isn't. Land o' Lakes has the best flavored hot chocolate. They have Raspberry, Vanilla, White Chocolate, Caramel, Mint, Hazelnut... so many flavors! The only bad thing is they don't come with mini marshmallows... but that is why god invented Marshmallow Fluff. A lot of people are always surprised when they come to my house and we have fluff with hot chocolate... and its such a simple thing! I won't drink hot chocolate without marshmallows because to me that seems like something a sociopath would do. Lol.

4) Frosty Friends Ornaments- Are these not the cutest ornaments!?!?! They always have different igloos and little animals and they are just incredibly cute. I lovessss it!

5) Charlie Brown- I love Charlie Brown. Merry Christmas Charlie Brown is always amazing, it pretty much sums out everything that is right and wrong with Christmas, and it really gives meaning back to the holiday season for me. If there is one movie to get me in the Christmas spirit, its this. I also like Charlie Brown decorations and I saw there is a snoopy sweater at Target that is adorable! And I love it! My mom has told me about a thousand times that they showed kids a bunch of older cartoon characters and only 35% knew the Peanuts gang! That almost makes me okay with the reboot. And I like Paul Feig... but still.

6) Vlogmas- I've been loving watching youtubers do vlogmas. I always kind of forget how much I like vlogs and then I'll watch a bunch of Vlogmas videos from people and that will make me like them as a whole. Uhhh yeah! Lol.

7) Hershey's Cherry Kisses- The best holiday candy that currently exists! I think these are my favorite version of Hershey's kisses. I was so bummed when I went to Hershey in the summer and they didn't have them... but now they do and I will eat them! They're just sooo sooo yummy. They taste like the real chocolate cherry's. Like really good chocolate and yeah. They are so so so so yummy.

8) A Muppet Christmas Carol- The best Christmas Carol that exists. Period. Yeah, I love muppets, I love the Marley and Marley song... I love it all!

9) The Victoria Secret Fashion Show- So I've watched this the past 3 years and I've kind of liked it. Mostly because afterwards Victoria Secret has a bunch of freebies and they have really cute and nice flannel pajamas! I am getting a pair for Christmas and I picked it out, its got the New York, Paris, and London skylines or landmarks all on it. Its really really cute!

10) Musicals- I love watching and or going to see musicals around Christmas time. I'm excited for Into The Woods and I'll probably see that sometime after Christmas. And I've seen Elf The Musical a couple of times on broadway around Christmas time... I'm excited that the animated special is using music from that in the special... and yeah. If a musical comes out in the summer, I'll usually wait to see it around Christmas time because that makes more sense to me.


Byee!

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...
