Weekly Wrap Up Easter Edition! 3/27/16

Favorites 

Pure Leaf Iced Tea- I might do a review of these soon cause I love them and I've tried most of the flavors and I like all but one... so yeah. These have been a big favorite recently. So far I think my favorites are Peach and Raspberry. I like the Iced Tea Lemonade too. These are great.

Dance Lessons- Yep I'm taking Dance Lessons and its really fun! So I'm saying its a favorite! I like it a lot.I'm not great... but I'm doing okay and I'm having fun with it.

Instagram- Was this a favorite last week? I've been really liking it, I actually just started a new account for beauty reviews called Shannonsreviews. Its been fun. My regular instagram is called Shannonsface if anyone wants to follow that.


Highlights 
Thursday was a big day. I won a radio contest, went to Ulta, took dance lessons and then at 1am I was actually able to order the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette that I've been waiting for! Friday I had dance lessons again and Saturday I went for my dress fitting.

TV
Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Jane The Virgin were really good. I missed Grey's Anatomy because I

Noteworthy Snacks 
I tried the newest latte from Starbucks, the caramelized Honey Latte... I didn't like it. It wasn't that special. It didn't taste like anything to me... idk. Idk if mine was made right cause I got it from a not-so-great starbucks... but still... I'll give it another try, maybe try the frappucinno... but not my favorite.

I actually won an amazing chocolate bunny cookie jar filled with cookies. I talked about that yesterday... but yeah. Do Radio Contests, cause they can be cool!


I had some yummy cookies and cupcakes from Delicious Orchards this week too... this is another thing, if you live in Central NJ, you know what Delicious Orchards is and if you don't... go there right now. I've done a lot of local things this week. Pretty cool. Lol.

I had some delicious cheese fries from Windmill (really Jersey Week) and I took a great picture with a filter and stuff...
And I had good Penne Vodka this week too. Penne Vodka is my favorite... so that was extra good. And more cheese fries but chili cheese fries. Maybe I'll post them next week cause I haven't posted them to instagram yet. 



News 
Actor and comedian Gary Shandling passed away this week, he was only 66. I remember he was on The X Files because he was good friends with David Duchovny and it seems like he was a really nice person all around to a lot of comedians. Very sad.

They are also opening up an investigation on Brittney Murphy's death. She died under mysterious circumstances a few years ago. She was mentioned on a show called Hollywood Medium with Jamie Priessley and she had a very strong voice that she was contacting... not sure I believe TV psychics, but yeah.

A guest on Say Yes To The Dress is now saying the show ruined her wedding. She paid $20,000 for a plane ticket from Las Vegas to New York so that she could go to Kleinfelds... she bought the most extravagant dress in the store, it was really expensive and she signed a contract but she included in the contract that she didn't want the show to be aired before her wedding. And they aired it before her wedding. I'm getting my tiny violin out for this... that's all I'm gonna say.



World Events 
The Jewish celebration of Purim was this week. I hadn't heard about this holiday before, but its really interesting. The Snap Story was one of the most fun to watch ever. Its celebrating Esther and people dress up in costumes and its pretty cool!

Spring Break, Palm Sunday and Good Friday were all this week too. First day of Spring was this week and the laws of gravity changed so that you could stand a broom up and it would stay there.

Thoughts 
Sometimes you just have good days... and thats a good thing. Like that Bride on Say Yes To The Dress... she can afford the wedding of her dreams and she's with a man that she loves... so that's why I have my tiny violin. I'm no better, I was really mad cause I couldn't get the Too Faced Peach palette this week... but I did eventually get it and I knew I would... and I only wanted it cause of the hype... so that's even worse. Lol. I'm excited for it though, and just be more appreciative of things instead of non appreciative.

So that's my thing for the week. Lol. Hope you guys like it and find it fun or useful or insightful... or like the cheese fries picture. Lol. Happy Easter!

Byeee!

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
