Holiday Gift Guide #1: Larger Presents

So its a little too early to do a holiday gift guide... but I wanted to put this out there before Black Friday. I'll talk about some of the bigger gifts that you'll probably be able to get a good deal on for Black Friday or cyber monday. This is probably mostly tech stuff- I will put my beauty stuff on that blog!

I'm calling this #1 cause I may have more... but I may not... so thats a thing too.

Fitbit HR- This is what my sister and her fiancé got me for my birthday and I love it. I've been trying to lose some weight, if you know anyone that is trying to lose weight or is just a healthy person... this is a great one. I have the HR which I like because its on a band so you won't lose it, these are easy to lose... but this one is pretty idiot proof. Its also idiot proof in the way you use it too. I'm not that great with technology and I find this super easy to use. It was tricky for me to set up at first... but thats because I am an idiot and basically you just need to sync it to your computer and the rest comes naturally pretty much. There is also an app for this, you can compete with your friends that have fitbit and show off your badges and progress on Facebook. Great gift.

Ipad, Iwatch, Iphone 6s... Any apple products- Idk if these are necessarily on sale at all around the time of all the sales... but these are good products that would be useful for anyone. They're all fairly easy products to use if you know someone who isn't good with computers. They're good for college students or high school students. I'm recommending these for older kids only, if you're younger than High School aged... I don't think these are the right gifts. I just think, let kids be kids. They don't need devices. But for high school kids I think this is a great idea and a lot of fun. I'd say iPad would be good for someone not good with computers, Iwatch would be good for someone who likes to work out but maybe wants the watch for more than that. iPhones are just good for everyone. Laptops or desktops might be better for college students... might be a better graduation present... but all these products will last them through college... just maybe make sure there's a safe cause I've had people steal my stuff before.

Tickets to Something- This is a fun present to give because it might benefit you also. Lol. Sports, Musicals, Concerts, events. Tickets always make a good gift. Trips make good gifts too... just know where you're going and if that is something someone would like to go to. Cruises too. There are lots of people that get things like that for Christmas or birthdays... its pretty pricey... but if someone really wants that or you want to get away its super super nice. This obviously isn't like an office secret Santa thing, but it would be a good thing to give. I would recommend Something Rotten. Lol.

Keurig Cofee Brewer- This is awesome. So easy to use and there are lots of delicious flavors. It's definitely going to be something that anyone will greatly appreciate. I use one every day and I love it. Its the gift that keeps on giving. Lol.

Kindle- My dad actually got my mom one of these. If you know someone not super into the internet, but likes reading... like my mom who doesn't know how to use the internet, but does like reading... this is great. It's just a tablet for books, which is awesome.

Perfume/Cologne Gift Set- If you want one that I personally have, I got the Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Gift Set and it $75... I got 20% off too and it comes with a perfume oil, a mini rollerball and a full size of perfume. If you know someone that just likes this scent than this is good to give them... if not there are fragrance samplers from Sephora where you can try out a bunch and then pick your favorite and get a full size of that. They have  that for Cologne also. This is a super nice and super safe gift for someone.

Camera- If you know someone doing something special or going somewhere nice, a camera is the way to go. I kind of want to get one of these on sale on Black Friday or around Christmas maybe... I want one before my sister's bachelorette party. Its something everyone can use and is nice.

Blu Ray- Another thing I may buy for myself black friday. They're going on quite a good sale at Target then and I have a target gift card... so if they're online I might get this and/or a camera. Lol. These are good because they have wireless ones now that can play netflix and other streaming things, so I always think that is pretty cool.

Ugg Boots- I've asked for these 3 different christmases... and yeah I have too many Uggs but I love them, I wear them all the time... and there's just nothing like them. I like the sparkly ones and the cardigan ones. Just great boots overall, and they make a great gift.

These are just things that if you wanted to get someone something big, they'd be good. People will probably just ask for what they want... but here are just some ideas if you needed gift ideas. Some things that will be on sale on Thursday and Friday and if you were thinking of getting something for someone... these help. If you were looking for boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, kid, yourself... anyone... this may help! Nothing super original... but this is something that helps.At least I hope you find it helpful. Lol.

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...
