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...

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...
