Weekly Favorites: August 23, 2015. + More random stuff and Funko Pop Haul

So its weekly Favorites time! I feel like I knew my favorites pretty early this week, so I'm just going to hop right into it.

Bojack Horesman- I love this show. Its one of my favorites and because I was watching The X Files so much, I hadn't seen the second season right away... but right now I'm caught up on The X Files Files and I sort of want to slow down on watching them... just a little bit, so that gave me some time to catch up on Season 2 of Bojack Horseman... and it is just as funny and sad as Season 1... if not more so!

This show is really one of the most unique shows ever. It has horse and animals as people and its really really funny, but its also very melancholy. Its kind of like real life. You can have all the fame and fortune you want and still be unhappy, and Bojack is and its sad. These characters all have real problems and its sad to watch... but at the same time its too funny to really be a dark comedy. Its just a really fantastic, well written unique comedy with the dark themes of real life. Its pretty much as funny as it is dark, so it balances out well.

Its not something everyone will like, but its something I feel like a lot of people would. If you like Archer, this is kind of like Archer, just a little darker. But Archer is pretty dark for a comedy too, so its interesting. Its layered.

Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot- I've been so excited for this new Princess Diaries book and it did not disappoint! So far at least, I have like 30-something pages left. Its got a lot going on and there are a lot of twists and... its just been a really fun and funny summer read. Just like the other books! I think this is my favorite because the end is so happy and I hope she continues with the series a little more! I'm sure she will!

Pumpkin Spice Shreded Mini Wheats Cereal- My mom just found this today and it is fantastic. Its the frosted mini wheats from pos, which are something we never ate that much... but with a pumpkin frosting that I really like. These taste good and they have quite a lot of fiber in them... so you know its good for you and stuff. Lol. Its really yummy and I like it. Might have some for dinner cause I had a big lunch.

Random Stuff Haul! 

So at Barnes and Noble Last Week I saw a notebook that said "Evil Schemes" on it and my mom was nice enough to get it for me this week! Its just a really cute idea to get someone for back to school... especially when that someone loves minions. I keep it in my purse. Lol. Its fun.

I also got a charlie Brown Sweatshirt from Forever 21... because why not! I thought it was cute and I probably won't wear it out of the house, but its comfy and I might sleep in it and stuff. Its adorable.

And from Hot Topic I went in there looking for the "Gone Batty" Funko Pop minion, which is the Dracula one... I didn't see it but everything was buy one get one half off, so I looked at the other Funkos and I saw Joy from Inside Out... which I kind of wanted and Special Agent Fox Mulder from The X Files... so I got them because I haven't seen Mulder before and I wanted him and I was a little bummed they didn't have Scully... but whatever. I was happy with Mulder and Joy.

Then I walk out and I saw the Gone Batty Minion and they had a bunch of them near the window... so of corse I had to buy it! I didn't get anything else half off, but the dracula minion is my favorite... and I wanted it. So in like a week I know have quite a nice Funko collection. They're addictive. Lol.


Byeee!

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...

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...

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...
