It List: August 2015

1) Vita Tops Deep Chocolate- These are my favorite thing that has happened as a result of my trying to get fit healthy snacks/ healthy breakfast type of a thing... because these are better than a lot of desserts that are more indulgent. They're these little muffin tops, only 100 calories per serving and on the box theres a little tip that you can burn 100 calories from 15 minutes of walking... which is very cool. I love little details like that.

These you put in the freezer and then when you take them out microwave them for about 30 seconds and it is like a delicious chocolate cake that I think you can eat for breakfast because its a muffin top. Lol. Smart right? I usually have this for breakfast with some cereal and a coffee from the keurig, or I'll have it for dessert... but it is fantastic. I know you're supposed to have a bigger breakfast, thats why I eat this with the cereal. Lol.

2) Inside Out- I finally got to see this movie and it was well worth the wait! It is one of my favorite cartoons I think and possibly my 2nd or 3rd favorite Pixar Movie. (Monsters Inc is #1 and I think Finding Nemo is #2... but this is definitely a close one.) It was so sweet and sad and it was really just a nice cartoon about growing up and all the good things and the changes about it. I really cried... harder than in any other movie. It was amazing but bring some tissues.

3) John Green- Speaking of bringing some tissues... you've probably noticed I like John Green if you've been reading this blog! I've read all his books except Will Greyson, Will Greyson and another one that he wrote along with other people. Plus I've seen Paper Towns and The Fault in Our Stars... which were both good movies and I plan on reading anything else he comes out with. If he does more YA novels, awesome! If he does adult novels definitely! If he does a biography I'd loveeee to read that! His writing is very symbolic and beautiful and funny and tragic and real. He's definitely one of the best writers. I think my favorite book was The Fault In Our Stars... but they were all so good. Looking For Alaska was really good. And Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines were really funny. Good well thought out novels that I really enjoy!

4) American Eagle Turquoise choker- So I got this necklace from American Eagle thinking it was a bracelet and then realizing it was a choker... and i was really happy because its the coolest choker ever! It looks like a Native American type of symbol with a turquoise stone in it and its just really really pretty. It sits right at the collarbone and just looks really feminine and different.


And its funny cause I kind of wanted a choker, but more like the 90s type of choker because Scully's sister wore one on the X Files and on the X Files Files they always mention having a crush on Scully's sister with her choker and I was like "yeah that choker is so cool!" And the wardrobe department didn't do a good job on Scully in the earlier seasons... lol but on her sister it was good.

5) Cap'n Crunch Donut Crunch- Another delicious breakfast food! I did a whole Scribble About food on these... its basically Cap'n Crunch but shaped like a donut and it has sprinkles on it and it tastes really good. The only down side is that it gets soggy pretty quick... I don't have milk with cereal so I like it crunchy instead of soggy... so thats kind of a deal for me... but still these are really tasty.

6) The Scorch Trials- This is the book I'm currently reading because I really liked the Maze Runner Movie and I liked the book a lot and I never read any others and I wanted to read it before the movie comes out. Right now they haven't entered into The Scorch yet... but I have a feeling its going to be even more exciting than the Maze. I think the reason I never continued after The Maze Runner was because I liked the idea of these kids in a Maze trying to get out. Mazes really scare me... so that was exciting to me... but when I found out they have another obstacle to do I was really excited.

And I feel like I might like this one a little better because A) We sort of know whats going on and B) The First Hunger Games book is probably "the best" of the series, but I think Catching Fire is wayyy more exciting cause they have to face a whole other Hunger Games and the game was designed really well and its just a cool thing. I think the Scorch sounds more exciting than the Maze so I'm excited to read it and then see the movie which comes out next month!


7) Onion Pretzel Thins with Dill Havarti Cheese -I believe thats what the cheese is called. I think its a swiss cheese, it tastes just like munster cheese, but theres dill in it. I got these both from Stop and Shop... although I know the Pretzel thins you can get wherever... I think I've mentioned the pretzel thins before, but I've started eating them again and with the cheese on top of them its just so yummy. You can just put a little piece on top of it or do like a sandwich with two pretzels and cheese in the middle... or just have the cheese along with the pretzel... its just really good. The pretzel crisps are relatively healthy too... so its good.

8) Better Homes and Gardens- This one is really really random. So I've been ordering things online and for some reason, some websites end up sending free magazine subscriptions. I've gotten Entertainment Weekly, which I love, and recently I was just sent Better Homes and Gardens. And at first I was like "well what the hell am I gonna do with this?" But then I saw Brooke Shields on the cover and I've really always admired her. She's smart, beautiful and talented... and from the cover it looks like she has great style... so I flipped through...

And its so much more than just Better Homes and Gardens. Its about style, beauty, interior design, there are recipes... they have a lot of celebrity houses and its just a really unique type of magazine that isn't what I expected at all. Also it came with a 20% off Bed Bath and Beyond Coupon... so Score! I'm really looking forward to reading this and getting more issues to read.

9) Wet Hot American Summer:First Day of Camp- I finished this... pretty early in the month, but still worth mentioning I think. My #1 recommendation on netflix right now is Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. It is amazing. If you liked the movie, you'll love this... if you didn't like the movie... I could still see this being more relatable. I don't know its just a really good show. There are only 8 episodes, so it isn't that long... but its pretty fantastic.

10) This Top from American Eagle- Alright I wasn't going to include this... but its totally a favorite and my new favorite outfit is this top with printed leggings that I got from Garage and that choker I mentioned before. Its so pretty and flowy and dainty looking. It isn't too dressy... but it is pretty dressy. Its just really great. Definitely my style.

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

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
