March 2016:It List

So here are my favorite things for March! I feel like this is a tricky one cause so far I've been liking things for a few days and then getting bored with them... so lets see what happens. Lol.

1) Big Love- This is weird... idk why I started watching this really... but I sort of wanted to watch a movie, but it was too late to watch a movie, so I started watching this. Its an older HBO show... but not too old. Its about a man that is a polygamist and he has 3 wives and it shows their struggles and a polygamist compound that his parents live in... its crazy. A lot of stuff happened in the very first episode. And the rest of the show is kind of the same. A lot of times there's a lot going on, and sometimes its just like a regular family show... its such an interesting shift and its pretty good. Chloe Sevigny, Ginnifer Goodwin and Amanda Seyfried are all in this show. And Deb from Napoleon Dynamite! Which is pretty cool!

2) The Wicked Soundtrack- I've been into musicals lately... that is not a secret, I've been talking about Hamilton a lot, and Something Rotten I saw in October and I still listen to the soundtrack a lot... but Wicked is one I was like "heyyy, I'm gonna listen to the Wicked Soundtrack again" and I've been really liking it! This is a great musical... with great music too. I hope they come out with a movie because that would just be awesome. There aren't too many songs on the soundtrack.... but they're good and a lot goes on in this musical! Lol. Maybe Amanda Seyfried could be Galinda? Lol. Just thinking!

3) Living Proof Products- I've been really liking my hair lately and I feel like its cause I switched my shampoo from Purology to Living Proof. I love the Shampoo and Conditioner in the PhD line and the 5-in-1 styling treatment... and the Dry Shampoo. These really work for me... and Living Proof isn't cheap, but I'm sort of okay with that for hair products... and you can get this at Ulta and get points. I got a $10 set from Sephora and I really like it.

4) Instagram- I've been really into Instagram recently. I actually started a beauty instagram called Shannonsreviews where I review things. I just did a big colourpop review day. Its just fun and its made me feel more creative and I really like it.

5) Periscope- I discovered Periscope at the end of february I think... and I really like it. There's a great community of beauty "vloggers" on there and they're super helpful and fun to watch. It's like youtube but more honest and casual. Its really a good app where you can just watch people live their lives and talk. I've been having fun on it.

6) Watching Movies just to watch them- This is the most fun thing. I've just been watching movies just to watch them... and I'll blog about them but I haven't been bored, I haven't been watching movies that are necessarily my types of movies... but I've been watching movies I've kind of wanted to watch and watching them to get out of my comfort zone. And I'll blog about them like I do with my mini movie reviews I used to do a long time ago... but this is just fun. I like it!

7) Food- I've been doing a lot of scribbles about food... so I'm going to put food on this list. Lol. I like writing about cool new snacks because I just kind of like reviewing things and food is a fun one to review. I think my Smoked Cheddar and Gouda Chips got a lot of views... and I also have the Korean Barbecue chips... so I'll be reviewing those too.

8) Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Jane The Virgin- I bingewatched these... maybe at the end of february... after the X Files ended I started watching these and I love these shows. I'm really happy the CW renewed all of its shows because I really like them all. I need to watch all of Arrow and Supernatural and The Flash... but yeah. These are great. Crazy Ex Girlfriend has been especially good lately too. I love Musicals (See above) and this one is just really funny. It also makes me kind of want to watch Ally McBeal because this was described as a cross between Flight of The Conchords and Ally McBeal... lol. Anyway these are great. I've been listening to the soundtrack a lot too!

Also trying to explain these to your grandparents is a fun game.

9) Apple Music- I've been listening to all these music things on Apple Music because its the best. I like just having all the music and I can delete things when I get bored and keep what I like... it makes sense for me. Its great.

Sooo... that's everything. Hope you guys like this. If you don't, thats cool.... but no.

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
