Weekly Wrap Up: 11/21/15

Alrighty lets just get right into it!

Favorites 

Egg Nog Latte- I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of favorites this week. The Egg Nog Latte is a big one. This I feel like they have a little later than the other holiday lattes... but its my favorite. This year I think it's even better than previous years. Its so christmasy and good and delicious. I love it.

Comedy Bang Bang- I've been behind on this podcast... but I just started listening to it again and it is amazing. It's really funny and just a fun thing to listen to while cleaning your room or anything. The show actually had Eagles of Death Metal on a recent episode. That is the band that's concert hall was targeted during the attacks in Paris, killing 90 people. Which is very sad, this podcast was obviously before that happened, it was an episode early in October, but you can tell they are good natured and easy to get along with guys. They were funny and fun to listen to. They didn't perform on the show at all, but they seemed like they were funny and even though they weren't comedians they did a good job on the podcast.

Sephora Favorites Dry Shampoo set- Idk what the name of this was... I think it was the style extender set or something. Anyway its a set with a bunch of different Dry Shampoos, I believe 8 are in the box. I've already tried half of them and I really like them! My favorite so far is from a brand called Amika... but these are all things I'd repurchase I think. Not a bad value set.

What I watched 
Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex Girlfriend were great. I'm excited for the black friday episode of Jane The Virgin which is set entirely in Target because Jane the Virgin is an hour long Target Commercial. Also I think I'm team Rafael again... idk I just don't want him to end up alone. I'm fine with Michael ending up alone... but Raf is just so lovable! I love him! I'm sure I'll be team Michael again soon... but right now Team Rafael!

I'm also team Greg for Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I like Greg and they have great chemistry. I feel the way Rebecca does about Josh though. I got all giddy when he said he was attracted to her. I like her a lot. Lol.

American Horror Story was good! I thought it was different and I like The Countess, she is one of my favorites!

TGIT was good!  Not great... but good. How To Get Away With Murder is slightly unbelievable at this point... by a lot... but its still fun to watch. And Grey's was good. Penny is THE WORST! She wasn't in this episode very much but she was the worst in it. Scandal was good too. Scandal I like... but its probably my least favorite of the 3 shows. When its good its really good... but sometimes its just meh. I like the topical current events episodes... but sometimes I get a little bored with them. Its a weird relationship.

Shark tank I kind of watched. People had some dumb stuff, but I liked the update on the Mensch on The Bench! I thought that was cool, really nice idea.

Highlights 
I feel like I mostly just ate pizza this week... yeah 3 times... lol probably not great... but... ya know.

I went shopping on Wednesday. That was fun. And Saturday the first 500 people to go to my mall got a tote bag with a gift card in it... so thats cool. This hasn't happened yet, I'm writing this on Friday... but Hopefully I got the $500 gift card and I'll let you know! Lol. Probably not. I probably got $5... but its still really nice that the mall is doing that right? I didn't get the 500 but I did get $40! I woulda been happy with $5! No complaints! I went to sephora and got a holiday Gift Set from Stila!

I am doing something different on my other blog for Christmas... so I've been pretty focused on that. and... yeah. Just chill in!

And I'm in a food coma right now and still have yet to watch one of the American Horror Story Episodes for my Re-watch... so that will be up in a little bit. Maybe tomorrow. I haven't been feeling like posting here as much... just I have something big going on on my other blog for December and this I feel like I'm neglecting, but I still want to put fun, funny and thoughtful posts... so maybe I'll write more quick, personal posts instead of all reviews and things like that. That's a lot easier and it makes more sense for this blog being about life... but I'm also a private person... so I don't love revealing my whole life... and there are lots of bits and pieces of my life here. I am obsessed with AHS, I do eat a lot and idk.

I've been in kind of a good mood lately too. So that's always a good thing.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
