Weekly Wrap Up: 3/20/16


Favorites 
Big Love- This has been mentioned before... but season 2 is wayyy better than season 1. Season 1 wasn't bad... but there were a lot of storylines they just kind of gave up on and never mentioned again. Season 2 hasn't been like that and I'm almost done with it.

Instagram- I've been having some fun with Instagram! I created another account called Shannonsreviews and I like it a lot.

Coach Outlets- I really like the Coach Outlets. They had 50% off this week. I may or may not have gotten 2 bags in 2 days... lol.

Highlights 
Sunday and Tuesday I went to the fancy mall. Friday and Saturday I got coach bags at the outlets... oops.

Noteworthy Snacks 
I tried an Irish Cream Nut Chiller from Gloria Jeans and I really liked it!

I tried the Superman Cereal and it was awesome! I may do another scribbles about food... if I haven't already. There are so many Scribbles About Food this month its not even funny... I'm sorry lol.

I had a frog cupcake from The Macaroon Shop. They have these every St. Patrick's day and they are awesome and adorable!

And I had Caramel Drizzle K Cups for the first time in a long time... that's pretty awesome. And speaking of coffee, the Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte... which I haven't had in a very long time and that was really good! 

I had a lot of great food at the Redbank Wedding Walk... which I'll get to sometime in a Bridesmaid Diaries. 

And I had Mac and Cheese. Nothin like Mac and Cheese. 

TV Highlights 
Anyone else laugh hysterically at the end of How To Get Away With Murder? Wes is so wrong place, wrong time. I thought it ended pretty well... this season SUCKED!

I watched the repeat of Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I love that episode.

Greys Anatomy and Scandal I didn't watch too much... but yeah. They were on.

And Big Love, which has gotten better in Season 2.

News 

There were rumors of a disappearance of fitness instructor and TV Personality Richard Simmons because he has not been seen publicly since his appearance at a parade 3 years ago, I believe it was said and he just spoke out and said he is okay. He did not gain weight, which was one rumor. He recently had knee surgery and hasn't been leaving his house much since then. He's been recovering. If you want to hear a funny story that may make you sympathize with Richard Simmons more... or less... listen to this little excerpt from the Skalar Brothers Comedy Special "What Are We Talking About" right here. Or just watch the full thing on Netflix... I think I reviewed it years ago and its really good.

World Events 
This Monday was Pi Day. 3.14... whig is the first 3 digits in Pi.

Miami had a latinamerican festival it looks like on snapchat? It said one of the biggest latinamerican festivals in the world. It looked like a lot of fun, there was a lot of music and dancing... and it was just cool.

Spring Break was this week.

I didn't watch many snap stories this week... so idk what happened. Lol.


Thoughts 
Edit: Forgot to post thoughts! I know I had a good one this week... I forget... I've had a big day. I'll remember it eventually...

Okay I remembered! I read the comments on just regular articles this week... and everyone is so negative in them. And you know what... if they wrote the article on the opposite perspective... people would be angry about that too.

If I said Red was the best color people would be like "woah... that's a bold statement, Shannon. You can't say Red is the best color. What about green? Or Blue, or purple?" And then if I said Purple was the best people would be like "wow, could you pick more of a generic color than purple? Let me get you some pumpkin spice for your uggs, basic bitch!" And if I was like "Okay blue?" People would be like "meh. Everyone's favorite color is blue. Give us something new... something less boring."

So... no one will ever be happy. Just be you, and if people don't like them... at least you like yourself. And even if you don't like yourself... you should. You're cool.

Byeee!
-Shannon

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...

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...
