2014 Resolutions/Goals

So I'm not a super "New Years Resolutions" type of person... but right now I'm kind of growing up and I feel like I need a set of goals and I'll feel better once I accomplish them.

First off I'm graduating in May... thats a resolution. I guess its kind of a regular resolution, something I know will be accomplished, but still thats like an automatic check off of my list and I think I need that.

I also need a job and I'm hoping to get one in my field. I would love to get a job writing something. I know its hard, I know English Majors never get jobs unless they go into teaching... I know. But I'm not a teacher, I'm a writer and I think I can write. I don't know how, or where. If you need a writer for some reason, I'm here but yeah. I need a job of some sort.

I have a book idea that I'm working on too. I haven't started writing it yet, but its going to be really funny and cute and just a nice read. Its holiday themed, so that is something. Idk what the publishing will be like or anything, but I want to have it written at least by next Christmas, if not before. I don't want to rush it or anything.

And I want to loose some weight and start eating better. I'm going to try not to snack at all during the week. I'm going to cut back on soda, which I say all the time but I'm really going to do it this year. I'm gonna go to the gym with my dad. I'm going to look better around graduation.

And for right now, I'm going to keep up with this blog because I like it. I like posting something every day and writing something every day... but that isn't really my goal for this year. I feel like having it as my goal last year made me stress a little more over posting and making sure things were out there... and this year I just want to blog because I want to blog and I feel like I'll do it way more that way. Plus I feel like I'm being more honest and I'm just taking things in a different direction right now. So who knows, I may post every day, I may post like 3 times a week... but I will try to have as much as I can here.

Byee! Hope you are having a good 2015!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
