It List: January 2016

First It List of the Year! Here we go! If you're new here, I'm just listing around 10 things that I've been loving this month that I think you should check out.

1) The Worst Idea of All Time Podcast- This podcast is so funny. Its 2 guys that watch the same terrible sequel every week for a year and they see something different every time. I'm listening to season 2 because in season 2 they watched Sex and The City 2... and I love Sex and The City 2... it is an awful but its a fun watch... but its flawed and I love listening to all the flaws since it is a very flawed movie and... its just fun. I might be doing something similar in May... I'm trying to pre-write posts so that I can take off for the entire month of my sisters wedding... so yeah... I thought that would be a fun idea. A bad idea... but a fun one. I like this podcast a lot and I'll keep listening to it!

2) Serial Season 2- Another podcast favorite. I feel like this season will have a bit more controversy than last season and I feel like its something a lot of people aren't going to like. It isn't about someone that might be innocent like season 1 was, this man admits to doing a bad thing... but he believes he did it for a good reason. Whether you agree with the man or believe him or not... the podcast is about a story and the story that its telling is interesting and something most average people would know nothing about without this podcast.

3)My Fitbit... again- Another pretty much forever favorite! The Fitbit! This is clearly just an all around favorite, but I feel like sometimes I'm more into it than others... and this is one of those times! I'm trying to at least get halfway to my goal every day... Yesterday I did my first "Fitbit Friday" where I pretty much track my progress on it and I think I'll keep that up bi-weekly or once a month maybe. Not quite sure yet... but otherwise its really fun. I love the challenges. I'm just having fun with it and if your new years resolution is to be more active... this is a great motivator.

4) Iphone 6s- These favorites all involve my iPhone 6s really... which I also absolutely love. I haven't had a new iPhone in quite some time, so I'm really happy to have one. I haven't even updated my phone in over a year, so this is some really futuristic stuff for me. I love it. If you're thinking about getting a new phone... you can't go wrong with an iPhone.

Also random I HATE the chargers for the iPhone, so if you're like me and they always break on you... Wallgreens has great iPhone chargers. They're more pricey than if you buy a bunch of chargers on amazon or something... but they're better. They last longer and you can get them in fun colors. I was in a pinch one day when I was commuting from college and I needed a charger, so I stopped at Wallgreens and got one and it was good.

5) Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Fragrance Mist- So I don't know if this mist set is still available at Ulta... but I think it may eventually come back and maybe it will eventually be sold in a single form... but this is great. Its not really that strong and it doesn't last that long... but the scent just makes me happy whenever I spray it. It smells like a margarita ice cream float and I loveee it. They have this as a shower gel, body butter and a scrub... its really nice. I like it a lot. Idk if they still have the scrub cause microbeads are almost illegal in the US... but its good. I love Soap and Glory.

I just sprayed a little too much... lol. Now I'm waiting for it to cool down and then maybe it'll last longer... idk I loveee it though! Usually Citrus bothers me, but I love this!

6) Costco Sherpa Blankets- So Idk if there are costcos where everyone lives... Idk if you have these blankets... but if you do... get them. They are the best. We have several in our house. They have them every winter pretty much. They are the comfiest things in the entire world. This year they are even more comfy than ever I think... and they're great. Really warm. My room has been so cold lately and these blankets have helped a lot... so if you see them at your costco... get a bunch! Lol.

7) Master of None- I'm a little late with this show... but it is amazing! Its kind of like Louie, but 10 years younger. I think if you like Aziz Ansari and if you like Louie, you'll probably like this show. I say its "like Louie" because its a similar story, there are lots of long shots in New York. Its kind of about nothing, but Aziz's life as a struggling actor and with his friends and dating. I like it a lot. His parents are on it and they're really funny. Its good. I wasn't going to binge watch it... but I keep going "ehhh just another episode."

The opening credits are also worth note. Really cool.

8) David Bowie- David Bowie is always my favorite singer. Like I listen to his songs for life advice. He's amazing. I've been listening to his songs a little more now because of his passing. One I've never had that I especially love right now is Life on Mars. That song is great.

9) Minion Lights- So for Christmas my sister actually got my family Minion Lights for us to hang up because I love minions and my family kind of loves them just as much as I do. They've made their way into my room now that we've taken them down from the living room... and I love them. They are the most beautiful lights in the whole world. Lol. They are adorable and I love them.

Also speaking of minions, they have minion like little tins of candies too. They're like mint containers but they have minions on the front... those always have THE BEST candies in them. They had a dracula minion that was strawberry banana flavored, they have ones that are just banana runts pretty much and they're sooo good... and they have chocolate ones in a fart gun. So its not just the minion in there that makes it worth buying... the candy is also quite good!

I think that is everything! Let me know some of your must haves this month!

Byeee!

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

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
