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????"

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
