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!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
