Weekly Wrap Up 2/21/16

Favorites 
Hamilton Soundtrack- I've got to mention this again cause I've been listening to it Non-Stop! Lol. After the Grammy's performance I just couldn't stop listening to it... and its amazing. Not tired of it. There are so many characters and so many songs that I always find a different character to like and sympathize with.

Deadpool- I saw this movie and reviewed it and I really liked it. I've gotta say Deadpool is one of my favorite fictional characters and I just really liked the movie. It was pretty cool.


Anastasia Beverly Hills Self Made Palette- I didn't really want to include any beauty favorites here cause I do have a beauty blog... but this palette is just amazing. The quality and the colors are all so versatile. I didn't think I was going to use it much, so I just "shopped my stash" for it... but its amazing. I've created so many different looks with it and I just really really like it. It makes me feel nice.

Highlights 
I saw Deadpool on Friday and went out with my friends. That was fun. Saturday I had to go with my mom to take my dog to the vet cause thats a two person job. He had something in his ear and it was getting infected... poor little guy. He's fine though, he's acting normal and himself and he should be fine by next week. And then my sister's dress fitting happened and then we went out to dinner... so yeah. That was the most stuff that happened.

TV Highlights 
I missed a lot this week. I saw the Wednesday comedies on ABC and Grey's Anatomy... and some of scandal and I half paid attention to How To Get Away With Murder... but I missed most things. I missed X Files and OJ Simpson... so I need to catch up! I was so looking forward to the OJ show... and X Files is just good and it was the 2nd to last episode... but it was up against the Grammys... which had bad ratings... so I'm guessing people were tuning into The X Files Instead.


News 
Tyra Banks shared her first photographs with baby York this week. The baby is just as beautiful as his momma and the photo is so stunning, I have to share it with you right here.

In sad News, Kesha was not able to be released from her contract even though she accused her producer of rape. I've seen things saying Chris Brown still has a thriving career when he's beaten women and Kesha is being silenced because of it. And it is really sad because I know this can't be the only case. I'm sure this is happening all over the world every day... and we need to change that.

Kanye West is apparently deeply in debt and some fans have raised gofundme's for him... actually made 4 Grand... so thats a thing. Also there is kind of a war going on between him and Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris... again... so yeah.

Foods Worth Mentioning 
So I had a lot of foods that are worthy of note that I didn't necessarily want to include in my favorites... so I'm going to shout some things out.

I will have a full review of the Starbucks Butterscotch Latte tomorrow... but it tastes exactly like it sounds. Straight up Butterscotch Latte.

I had Reese's Pieces when I went to see Deadpool and those were amazing.

I also had really good chicken and shrimp in peanut sauce... it was so good. Its one of the best meals I've ordered in a long time... I loved it. Peanut Sauce is good... but yeah. This was just awesome.

I had really good Chicken Marsala from 2 different places this week... so that was amazing.

And my dad got chocolates from this place in the city called Leonodis I believe and they have belgium truffles... and they have some chocolate hazelnut and white chocolate hazelnut things that are all really good. I just like Chocolate and hazelnut. If its Hershey Kisses Deluxe or Ferroero Rochers... they're just always good. I like them a lot.

And I mentioned those Special K Cereals... but they are DELICIOUS! I love them .The Nourish Cereals... so good. I've really been liking the apple raspberry this week. I love the Coconut one but... something about the apple raspberry is yummy too.

World Events 
Fashion week ended this week. Lady Gaga walked the runway for Marc Jacobs. It seemed like most of the runway shows had a lot of neutrals... which I do think will be in... but I think Neutrals with a pop of color or rainbow. I saw this Betsey Johnson bag that looked like the quilted Chanel bags but it had like a little bit of rainbow in it and I said "Yes. This is going to be trendy this season." I'm thinking Suicide Squad is going to sort of bring Harley Quinn type of style back in... and this seemed like a Harley Quinn bag a grown up could use.

The Grammy's were this week and those were fun to watch! I liked all the performances. I did a review... I think I mentioned this but the highlights were Hamilton, Gaga and Kenderick Lamar.

The Westminster Dog Show was this week too. I love dogs. I didn't watch this, but I love that they have new breeds and it seemed like an exciting show and I saw something that said "Everyone says they have the best dog and everyone is right." Or something like that. So true. All dogs are the best. My Spencer and my Lucky dogs the best!

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...
