Scribbles About Food: Costco Food Haul

So... I didn't really know what to post today, but my mom and I just went to Costco and got some food mostly of the snack variety... I'm tryin to keep it healthy... but lets be real here... it doesn't all work out that way. Lol.

So the thing that is the most on the healthy side that we got is actually the reason why we went to Costco to begin with and that is the Goodness Knows Very Cranberry bars. These are awesome. They're filling enough that if I don't have time for breakfast or lunch, I grab one of these and I'm good to go. Its also a great dark chocolate flavor. Its made by Mars, who also make Dove dark chocolates and it tastes similar to the dove fruit with dark chocolate. I'm not a big dark chocolate fan, but I do really enjoy this dark chocolate and the dove dark chocolate. It is 150 calories... which isn't the lowest calorie snack that you can have... but for me these are more of a meal and they're filling that way. They also do break the bar up into 4 squares, so if you wanted a square or 2 as a snack, you could do that... but these do taste really good and you might want the whole thing anyway.

Next we passed their samples... and you know how Costco samples are... lol. This was for a new limited edition snapple called Lady Liber-tea. I just tried the sample cause I was thirsty... I didn't think I would like it... but I liked it a lot. So we got a pack. These are 150 calories for a bottle... so its not much healthier than soda... but its still a healthier alternative... plus one bottle of this is actually pretty big. I could totally have half for lunch and half for dinner or something like that... so it is kind of a lot. The flavors in this are natural raspberry, white peach and blueberry... get it red, white and blue? Lol. Really great flavor, very unique and I would recommend picking one up.

Plus a lot of times I'll drink starbucks or a frappuccino or something... this is a healthier alternative to that... is kind of how I'm looking at it lol.

And last but not least... this is not even slightly healthy but it is absolutely amazing. They have these snacks called snappers which are like chocolate turtles but with pretzels in them... and this one has peanut butter also. Ohhh my god. Its so sooo sooo good. These aren't just sold at Costco, I've seen these at Harmon and probably Bed Bath and Beyond, but the big momma bags are at costco and... you might want the big momma bags. Lol. I'm trying to be good right now, so I've only had one. One is a lot though and the serving size is 3 for 200 calories... not nearly as bad as I thought lol... but these are a fantastic little treat and its sooo soo good. I really needed some chocolate snacks in my life today and this was just perfect. Its salty and sweet and just the best.


So that is everything. All very yummy. I'm going to eat it all right now. Nom nom nom... Okay. Lol that was weird... but yeah.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
