Weekly Wrap Up (Christmas Edition) :12/27/15

Favorites 
Victoria Secret T Shirts- My sister got me a few Victoria Secret t shirts with quotes from Elf on them... and i love them. I forgot how much I like Victoria Secret T Shirts, I feel like these fit really nicely and even though its just a plain t shirt, its still really flattering and I just like it a lot.

Stolen (Bread)- This was very unexpected. I don't really like Fruit, I always thought that these fruit things in the bread just looked weird and dry... but we got a loaf for Christmas and it was from one of my favorite bakeries, The Macaroon Shop... and it was really delicious! I love The Macaroon Shop's Irish Soda Bread... so I thought I might like this too. I put some butter on it and popped it into the microwave for 10 seconds... delicious! I love it. The fruits are really good, but theres also almonds and like pistachio types of flavors in it... really love it! If there's something you're not sure if you'll like... just try it first. I never thought I'd like this and I love it. I never thought I'd like tomato soup... and I like it (probably not like Campbells but if its made right its good.) And Penne Vodka, I thought would be too tomato-y for me... but as it turns out it is the best food that was ever invented... so yeah. Try things. You might like them.

Amope Pedi Perfect and Amope Nail Perfect- These are great for at home manicures... they really work and I just have fun using them! I got these as Christmas Gifts and I'm really happy with them. They're great for home mani and pedis... which is great! I don't love getting manicures and pedicures, so I recommend these!


Highlights 
Monday and Tuesday I don't think I did too much. I think we went out to eat one of those days and it was good... but I'm not quite sure.

Wednesday I went to Old Navy and pretty much Bought the store... everything was on a really amazing sale and I had a gift card... and I went a little crazy with it. I love Old Navy... the "Priciest" item I got was $23... so that was awesome. I really liked everything I got too... kind of want to go back if they still have Christmas sales!

Thursday was Christmas Eve. I went to my Nana's House and ate Pastetsio which is an awesome greek Macaroni and cheese... its the best. I love it!

And Friday was Christmas! I got presents and I'm super happy with all of them I'm really thankful and grateful for everything I got.

Saturday was Harry Potter Weekend and I went to dinner somewhere good that has perogies that I really like... which is a weird thing for me to like... but I love them lol.

And Sunday I went shopping with my friends!

TV Highlights 
I watched a lot of Christmas movies and TV Shows... it was a bit crazy. Lol. Its also Harry Potter weekend...for whatever reason they're played Harry Potter on Christmas... but I guess. Idk I was a little Christmased out at that point... so it made sense to me... but they show Christmas movies all day and all night and then they show Harry Potter on Christmas.

News 
Star wars came out and it started shattering records already. Its the highest ticket sales before a ticket release date. There are also a few secret cameos you don't realize and I think there will be more popping up so that people want to see it again and again... so that's cool.

Miss Universe was crowned this week... and it was super awkward. Steve Harvey hosted and he crowned Miss Columbia, which is what it said on the card... and then it was reported ohhh no wait, its actually Miss Philippines... Awkward... I think everyone just died a little because of that. Lol. Everyone feels bad for Miss Columbia. And to make matters even worse, Harvey posted an apology on twitter... and he spelled the names of both countries wrong. So... that wasn't great either. Lol. He probably doesn't write his own tweets, keep that in mind too... but yeah. He deleted the tweet. It isn't really his fault I don't think... it did say that on the card, he showed everyone... but its awkward.

Thats about it I think... Lol. I guess I didn't have to post any news if there are only a couple of things... but I needed to mention Steve Harvey cause... yeah.

I feel like there were probably a lot of news shows showing the years news highlights and then the Steve Harvey thing happened and everyone was like "WHAT????"

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...

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
