February 2016: It List

It List Time already!!! Lets get to it!

1) The X Files- I'm really liking the new X Files series and it might be done by now... I think there should be one episode left by the time I post this... but its been so fun. It might not be as good as the original series... but I think a lot of the episodes and characters are a little more fun. Its fun to see skeptical Mulder. I just really like it a lot!

2) The People vs. OJ Simpson- I like this show a lot. At the time there's only been one episode... but its really good. Its a lot less frustrating than things like American Horror Story because you kind of know the ending... but then again it is a little frustrating because Nicole Brown Simpson's killer was never really brought to justice. If it was OJ or if it wasn't... no one knows who it is and thats scary. Its really well done and it doesn't seem biased which is really cool. Its really well done and the best actors are in it...so I highly recommend it.

3) Hamilton Soundtrack- I haven't seen Hamilton... but I was curious about it so I listened to some of the songs on Youtube and then got the soundtrack on Apple Music... and its really good. Its interesting, and the songs are great and its just really really clever. Getting tickets is nearly impossible... but download the soundtrack if you haven't yet. Its good!

4) Star Wars: The Force Awakens- So this is something I'm a little late to the game on... but I'm okay with that because I have less of a waiting period until Rogue One comes out so Ha Ha! I really liked all of the new characters and the old ones also... I just thought this was really fun to watch and get into. Now I need to get the original movies on blu-ray because I don't think I've seen those since I was 5... probably. I'd watch Revenge of The Sith also. I think the prequels get a lot of hate that is probably well deserved... I've mentioned before that I don't want to watch them again cause I loved them as a kid and I want them to remain good memories for me... but Revenge of The Sith is worth watching for the last scene alone. If you've only seen the prequels though and you go "I really don't like Star Wars" thats not a good basis and you sound snobby. Lol. So yeah.

5)Jessica Jones- So I started watching it and I was like "This is okay but nothing too amazing" but it gets better. I'm on about the third episode by the time I'm writing this... if I have a review on it I'll have it linked below... but it got a lot better and idk how much I can bingewatch this right this second because I'm surprisingly tired and its an hour and its not the last thing you want to watch before bed... but its amazing and worth checking out!

6) Snapchat Discover feature- This is a weird and random favorite. It started because I saw a nail art one and I thought some of the nail art was really cool. Then I saw that they had the Iowa Caucus and the republican debates. Those I really like because you get to see what regular people think about the candidates and you get to see the candidates out of their elements. No camera, you get to see moments where they aren't going against each other and they get along and how they are to their supporters. I thought Kasich seemed nice to his people. Someone dropped something and he leaned down to pick it up. Someone asked Christie "What are you wearing" and he laughed and said "I'm not telling you." And Trump was kind of mean. Bernie Sanders seemed nice in Iowa but he was kinda yelling at his supporters... telling them what to do really, not in a mean way but yeah... and his wife seemed very nice too. There was no one I thought seemed that mean except Ted Cruz and Donald Trump seemed kinda mean. Not a make or break thing... just thought I'd let you know that from a 30 second snapchat video they seemed kinda mean. Lol. The nicest people were the ones with the lowest numbers of corse cause they gotta brown nose a little... lol.

I also like the Wall Street Journal discover story... its interesting. I'm just weirdly into news right now so... thats kind of helping with that.

7) Molten Chocolate Latte from Starbucks- I think this is one of the last days you can get this latte... but go to starbucks and get a few cause its good. Actually... this probably isn't even available anymore guys... sorry. Its good though!


8) The Oprah Weight Watchers Commercials- I can't be the only person completely obsessed with this commercial right? It makes me want to find my soul mate... I can see why Oprah is so successful now. If I loved anything anywhere near as much as Oprah loves bread... I'm sure I'd be super successful too! Lol. And like once this commercial debuted... it was everywhere on the news. And it was hilarious that they were dissecting it. And there's this Dr. Lady on one of the channels that I call Dr. Obvious and she said "yes, its definitely probably possible" lol. Not making this stuff up, this is what happens on the news in this country sometimes.

9) Special K Nourish Cranberry Almond Coconut Cereal- This is the most delicious cereal ever... and its healthy! The coconut is just soo good, its really sweet and delicious. I had it for the first time today actually... but its a total favorite. Its so yummy!

10) Till Death Do Us Blart- Last month I mentioned that I loved the podcast The Worst Idea of All Time... this podcast is with 2 of the same people and then other podcasters and they've made a commitment to watch the movie Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 every year for the rest of their lives. It comes out once a year around Thanksgiving, they just started it this Thanksgiving... but they'll be doing it for forever... and it will be inherited to other people if any of them dies... its funny. I feel like I'll have some sort of podcast where I watch something terrible every day for a week or something... lol.

11) Snoopy Wristlet- My sister got me a wristlet from the coach outlet with Snoopy on it and I love it! I've been using it for the gym mostly because it fits my phone and headphones and its easy to just put the gym card in it... and its good to go! Idk if these are available anymore... but if you see it get it if you like snoopy because these sold out at my Coach outlet fast and its really nice and adorable. Lol.

12) Old Navy Rock Star High Waisted Skinny Jeans- I just got these a week ago... but I love the way that these fit and they are pretty comfy also. I prefer high waisted jeans cause crack is whack... and these are my current favorites. The high waisted part isn't too much like a corset and the skinny jeans still look nice and I wear boots a lot, so I like skinny jeans.

So those are all of the best things this month... and I hope you check them out. If anything... watch that Oprah Commercial. Lol. I feel like thats the one thing I can recommend to everyone. Lol.

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...

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...

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...
