Weekly Faves+ Thoughts and plans

So I may be kind of MIA this week on Scribbles about Life... its going to be a kind of busy week for me. I do a weekly favorites for my beauty blog, but there are so many things I've been liking that are non beauty related... why not share the love here?

I did a Costco Food Haul recently, and the Peanut Butter Snappers are... the best thing in the entire universe. Its a pretzel that has chocolate and peanut butter... and maybe caramel... I think there is just a big dollup of peanut butter on it. It just tastes amazing. They aren't the healthiest option, but 3 are 200 calories... so if you can limit yourself to 3 or less... not too bad. I'm kind of trying to be healthy, but these exist and they're fantastic. If they had nutella snappers... ohhh man. That'd be the best!

Also the Snapple Lady Liber-tea is sooo good. Its red raspberry, white peach and blueberry... I love Peach Iced Tea and I love Raspberry iced tea and combined... its such a unique yummy flavor. And then add blueberries and its just really great. Drinking these now.

I also went to a restaurant called Chillango's I believe its called. Its in Atlantic Highlands I believe, so if you're taking a boat from NY to NJ, its not too far from that... its such a good place and today they were celebrating "Cinco de Donald" to Mock Donald Trump for his racist remarks against mexican immigrants. I went for lunch, so idk if there was a big celebration or anything, there was a local news van outside, so I think there's a story on that... which I'll post if I can find because that just sounds awesome. Anyway I got a hawaiin quesadilla from there which had ham and pineapples... it was awesome. The pineapples were so sweet and delicious and full... I just loved it.

I feel like I could definitely continue with food favorites, but here are some shows I've been watching this week. I just brought out my old X Files Dvds and I watched the first episode of that. I want to prepare for the new show and I really like it. I'm not sure if my sister's dvd player was having a problem or if my dvds are just old or something, but the picture was in black and white and then it split... weirdly. So idk what that's about... if you have old X Files Dvds, do you notice this? I may try playing it on my computer... but I'm having trouble with this computer too... so thats a double suck. Lol. I know Kumail Nanjiani has a podcast about the x files called: The X Files Files, so I'm finally re-watching so that I can re-listen and thats exciting.

Yesterday I also watched Flea Market Flip... which is the best and most frustrating show ever to watch and its also amazing. Basically these people find old antique things at flea markets that look really cool and different... then they renovate them and kind of ruin them in my opinion and its hillarious to watch.. and sad and interesting. Sometimes they make cool stuff... most of the time its super ugly. They made a Hungarian Baby Bathtub into a coffee table... with fish inside of it... What? It was so weird so hideous and yet they made money on it... so its insane.

Also been rewatching one of my favorite web series, Burning Love. This show is so funny. There are 3 seasons, all season are on Hulu plus I believe and I think the third season is on for free on yahoo screen. It's funny, if you like the bachelor or the bachelorette or unreal... It's along those lines, but it's a comedy. The second season is "the bachelorette" season and it's spot on how the bachelorette is. It's sooo soo good! 

For apps... I've rediscovered the app Tree World... Which was a horrible mistake because it consumes my life now and it's so sooo stupid. It's along the lines of FarmVille sort of. Basically you take care of animals that live on a tree... It's a little insane. But it's amazing and I'm going to be in love with it for the next few months at least... 

So yeah that's it... Tomorrow (Monday I think I'm posting this on Monday now) and Tuesday I have some fun things I'm doing, maybe I'll just blog about my day or something... Idk what I'm really doing tomorrow... But I might do some exploring or shopping or something fun lol :). 

Byeeeee!

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...
