Superbowl Scoop! Superbowl 50

So I want to do this even though I don't think I have much to say about the game... I don't understand football too much and I usually watch the Commercials and the halftime show and stuff... but this year nothing was too great... but the game was a little exciting to begin with.

So why was this game particularly exciting? Peyton Manning is old. He's not OLD, he's 39... which is pretty old for a Quarterback and he is in fact the oldest QB to win or be in a Super Bowl. He is up against The Panthers, who have never won a Super Bowl and their QB is Cam Newton who is pretty much a superhuman. He's what you think of when you think of a football player. One of my favorite cooking channels on youtube (Food Wishes) said that Peyton Manning looks like your dad and Cam Newton looks like a superhero... so it seemed like a pretty obvious win for the Panthers...

... but that didn't happen! The Broncos got the first touchdown or whatever and they were on a pretty good streak for the most part. It wasn't a super intense or interesting game... last year it was pretty exciting because the Seahawks were winning for so long and then the Patriots came out of no where and cheated won. So it wasn't particularly exciting. But still, the aspect of Old Guy vs Young Guy was pretty exciting.

So lets get to the commercials... none really made me laugh out loud this year. I didn't really see the Kevin Hart one... I've talked about how I really like Kevin Hart before, so of corse he was funny... idk if he's really old enough to have a daughter that age, so that was distracting. I missed the Seth Rogen and Amy Poehler commercial. I didn't really get the Jeff Goldbloom one with George Washington and Weezy... that was a little stupid. I thought the doritos one was stupid with the baby... idk. That one freaked me out. The Hot Dogs running to the ketchup was cute.

I liked the Helen Mirren one... I forgot about that. It was a PSA against drunk driving and it was really funny and true. And I liked the one with the David Bowie music and the astronaut. I thought that was sweet and just a good one.

The Superbowl Babies was one I didn't hear about. The babies are born in the hometown of the winning Super Bowl team... or maybe just the ones playing in the superbowl. They had Seahawks ones and they didn't win last year... but I think they won the year before or something. Idk. Lol. But that was something cute, especially now its Superbowl 50, so some of the Superbowl Babies are 50 now. So that was something cool and different.

The real important thing to me: Lady Gaga's National Anthem. And she did AMAZING in my opinion. In everyone's opinion I think. She looked absolutely gorgeous, she had Red glittery eyeshadow, a red glittery suit, blue nail polish, and one blue sparkly shoe and one red and white striped one. Amazing. She sang beautifully, she is my favorite and this is one people will remember. Like the Whitney Houston one and many others... this people will remember.

And the halftime show. I was also like "really? Coldplay?" But I feel like really it was Beyonce and it was disguised as Coldplay. I'm not a big fan of Coldplay... but Beyonce and Bruno Mars were really good. Coldplay was great too, I thought the show itself was well done with the lightings and the singings and all that stuff. They were good! My aunt was actually at the Superbowl and she likes them and said they were good... so I'm happy about that.

When Manning won, everyone was sort of acting like they were about to sell him to the glue factory. Lol. They didn't really just let him enjoy winning without asking if he was going to retire... and I thought that was kind of sad. I think it sounds like he's going to... but I'd also like to see if I could win one at 40. Its one of those things you can't decide easily and putting them right on the spot was just a little sad-sounding. He knew it was going to come and of corse they're going to ask him... but idk. I wouldn't have wanted that. Lol.

Colbert was funny after also! I thought that was really fun to have him and Corden on for the after-show. Its one of the more fun after-shows I thought... so I liked that a lot! I like Colbert and Corden and I need to watch them more, they're really funny.

So yeah... didn't think I had much to say... but apparently I did. And... that is it pretty much! Hope you guys like it!

Byeee!

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...
