New Years Superstitions

So I did a gift giving superstitions and I thought I'd post about superstitions for the new year. Take these with a grain of salt. If you believe in them, cool... but in all seriousness they were probably just made randomly by someone.

This isn't a known thing, but I always thought that if you were asleep on New Years at midnight, you might die that year. Lol. No one told me this, this isn't a really known thing or anything... I just thought that was why you had to stay up till midnight on New Years. Now I stay up till Midnight pretty much every night... so yeah. This one is definitely fake because I made it up and know several living people that slept in on New Years... but that's just always what I assumed. Lol.

This is a Greek Superstition according to my nana... but the first person thats supposed to go into your door on New Years Day is supposed to be a man. And at my Nana's house, the first person to go into her house is always my dad... so she's happy about that.

You're supposed to bring something inside when you go outside so that you bring something in all year.

There's something called a money salad that my sister makes with Black Eyed Peas and whoever eats the most Money Salad is supposed to make the most money that year... so thats pretty cool. Its a delicious salad. On the Today show they added sausage to it too... yum!

Also Pickled Herring... weird but its supposed to be good luck.

And last but not least, don't spend money New Year's Day! Otherwise you'll be losing money all year. I don't think I ever have spent money on New Years... so thats good I suppose!

And thats it! Hope you guys are having a good New Year. I might share resolutions tomorrow... yeah! Sounds good!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

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...
