The Daily Something

So I saw Keanu yesterday... and its one of the most clever and funny movies I've ever seen. Probably a favorite of mine... I love it. I've never seen a full episode of Key and Peele. I don't know too much about their sketches or anything... but there were some billboards and little things in the background of the movie that I'm pretty sure were jokes from Key and Peele sketches... not 100% sure... but they were funny either way and I'm thinking they have some significance. And really... they work so well together. Its just fun to watch them together because they have great chemistry and they're so fun. And the concept for the movie was brilliant... if you're a writer or a film nerd... you've probably heard the concept of Saving The Cat. You want your hero to "save the cat" in every film to make them more likable. In Gone Girl, Ben Affleck has a cat that he saves... doesn't make him more likable... but he also didn't kill his wife. L

But I don't feel like writing a review right now! Ugh! I'm cold and tired and just need to take a bath and go to sleep but today was fun. I went to the movies with my mom. We saw Keanu which I'll probably have a review on tomorrow... but it might be one of my favorite movies ever. It was funny and such a clever concept. I used my Nubian 2 palette today! That was exciting. I got it yesterday and I really liked it! I ate a delicious salad and some delicious rice pudding. I did my first periscope! It was fun! I was nervous! I feel like I talked really fast... but it was a lotta fun and it wasn't as scary as I thought. And now I'm watching periscope and I need to take a bath cause I'm cold and sleepy. Byeee! -Shannon

Okay... so I was going to do a mix of the Shrek is Love videos... but I couldn't get passed Shrek is Love 2... and I just can't recommend watching those at all. They make me feel sick and they just kind of suck... so instead... I'm doing a few minutes of some 10 hour loop videos and writing about those. Blink 182: I Miss You: Tom's Verse 10 hour loop  Obviously... I didn't watch this on a 10 hour loop... I listened to it for 8 minutes while I wrote yesterdays blog and then clicked away. I like this song. I think I'm more of a Mark fan than a Tom fan when it comes to Blink... but I like Tom's voice. Its cute and fun. My favorite songs just happen to be Mark songs. This is a good mix of the two of them. And it didn't really feel like I was listening to this for 8 minutes... it just felt like a long song, or just a song that was stuck in my head. I believe this has something to do with Nathan Fielder... but I don't totally know. What's Going

So I thought I'd just shout out a few things that are underrated in different categories... and then we'll see what happens. Lol. Movie: Dark Shadows  This is probably not the #1 most underrated movie... but that's what inspired the post. The Blu Ray was on sale at Target for $5! I love this movie and for $5 I love it even more. I thought Johnny Depp was great as a vampire. I thought Eva Green was really funny and bitchy and just awesome... and I just really liked it a lot! So yeah... for $5 sign me up. Singer: Nick Jonas  Can we all just appreciate that Nick Jonas is grown up and is now kind of hot? And not only that, but he has a hot voice. You could kinda tell when the Jonas Brothers had that song Burnin up... and then when he did the "I still get jealous song..." The guy is hot and awesome and underrated. Actress: Nia Vardalos  Nia Vardalos hasn't been in many movies and she's more of a writer... but she's my favorite! I think I've see

So I thought I'd do a whole news post dedicated to Beyonce. I don't know if this will be the only Beyonce news post ever... I think anytime Beyonce does something amazing... I'll write a Beyonce news about her. Disclaimer: I did not see the Lemonade special and I do not own the cd or the special... if its available to purchase. I didn't know about it and I was too late on it and then everyone was talking about it the next day and I thought I lost 10 years of my life... so yeah. Here's kinda what happened. So Queen Bey decided to do a special and a cd called Lemonade. And the special was a one day only thing and the cd you can still download. And it was about a lot of things. I guess she was making Lemonade out of lemons because Jay Z allegedly had an affair with Rachel Roy and Beyonce was allegedly forgiving him for it. Shoot he's got 101 problems now! Anyway there's a line in one of Beyonce's songs about "Becky With The Good Hair." And t

Alrighty so the top 5 movies of the week! Let's go! Also hope you guys are all having a great Perfect Date Today... 5) The Boss- This was #1 last chart chat and now its bumped to #5! Lot came out this week, and this just isn't one you see over and over again. Its one you see if you wanna see... and then if it goes out of theaters, it goes out of theaters. Its a good movie, I've seen it and reviewed it but not one I want to see in theaters. 4) Zootopia- This is still in the top 5! Still going strong! Good job Zootopia! I haven't seen this movie yet, I'll see it when its on tv...I'm excited for it though. I think it looks really funny and I want to see it... but I feel old seeing it in theaters. It looks really good though and I keep saying this in chart chats... but this is clearly worth seeing since its been in just about every chart chat since it came out. Good job Zootopia! 3) Barbershop: The Next Cut- This got terrible reviews... but I want to see it

Favorites  Unbreakable Kimmy Schmiddt- I didn't have time to watch this until Monday and I haven't had enough time to finish it this week... but so far so good! I love Kimmy Schmiddt. Idk if I like it as much as last year... but its still great! I Love it! I think its a great show! DNCE- I just did a review on their EP and I loved it! I hope they come out with more songs soon. I think its fun. I think I have a crush on Nick Jonas... and I just think they have a good sound and they're a lot of fun. Kinda reminds me of Cobra Starship! Iced White Mocha with Rasberry- I think this was my first time having that. It tasted really good and sweet too! I was surprised at how much I really liked it. Snippets from the week  I figured I'd change highlights to snippets cause I keep doing snippet posts. - Monday I watched Season 2 of Kimmy Schmiddt mostly. -Tuesday I went shopping with my mom and I had pizza. - Thursday and Friday I went shopping too. -I had a lot of St

So one of my favorite songs on the radio right now is Cake by the Ocean from DNCE, aka Nick Jonas' super cool dance band. And I was kinda sad to see they only had an EP with 4 songs on it... I'm excited to hear more of them because... all the songs were pretty great! Cake By The Ocean  I love this song. It makes me want to dance and it makes me happy and I want to eat Cake by The Ocean. Lol. Any time this is on the radio I get really excited. I was never a big fan of the Jonas Brothers... but Nick Jonas kinda reminds me of Gabe Saporta from Cobra Starship. He just has a sexy voice and he's having fun with that... so I really like this song cause it makes me fangirl in a way I usually only do for Gabe Saporta. Pay My Rent  This is a really cool analogy. This EP is great with analogies. Lol. So he wants to be with this girl all the time, so he's saying "pay my rent" because that's like what he wants of her love... very unique lol. I don't totally g

So I don't know Prince songs all that well... but I am a fan and I thought I'd talk about some of his songs and why he has a big influence in my life. There aren't any Prince songs I know all the words to or anything... there are some songs that I didn't know he sang until today... which is what made me a fan of David Bowie, so that's cool. He's influenced a ton of musicians today though. For one: Ke$ha. She is also from Minnesota and she actually got her start by breaking into his house and dropping off her EP. Luckily, she's a talented singer, and Prince was a religious man (probably at the time) so it was probably easy for him to forgive her and give her a chance. That's important to me because really I do like Kesha's music. I'm happy that it looks like her career is back on track because I missed her music... and believe it or not I can do a SPOT ON Kesha impression. Also I LOVE Fall Out Boy. They were all I talked about pretty much fr

I'm really feeling like I'm running out of things to write about... lol. I've been liking salad a lot recently... which is good. I didn't have any Starbucks today... yet. My dog just made a noise.. . He got a foot scrub I got it back. I like The Goldbergs a lot. I kinda have a headache... maybe because I hit my laptop on my head before... ouch. I think that is everything... Tomorrow... maybe a Kimmy Schmidt review? If I finish the season. If not... idk. Might do another snippet. Idk what to write for my other blog either. Ugh. Byeee! -Shannon

So... yeah I'm just going to do snippets again. But I'll do it about my weekend and stuff. Friday  - I got some stuff for the goody bags of the bachelorette party. I did a post on that a few days ago. - I went to dinner with my sister. We ate at a burger place by her house. -I went into Ulta without purchasing anything! - I watched my sister do a work out for a half hour... -To an exercise video with a pornish soundtrack. -It was pretty funny! -My cousin came over -we ate some leftover bridal shower cake -We played Pieface - I got pie faced. -Watched a little bit of train wreck and some Jimmy Fallon before sleep. Saturday  -Woke Up Super Early -Almost Brother-in Law,Mike,  made my cousin and I waffles in the morning -And my sister made me a cappuccino - Went to the train! -Got to Penn Station and then went to our hotel to drop the luggage off. -Went to Black Tap, The Bar with the awesome burgers and milkshakes -There was a long line. We played mad libs of

Heyyy guys! So... I'm about to leave for my sister's Bachelorette party. I thought I'd let you know whats in the goody bags Bath and body works shower gel and body lotion minis 2 hand sanitizers 2 scratch off lottery tickets Burts bees lip balm Mini Bottle of fireball And thats it! Lol. As long as your friends are old enough to have alcohol and if they're a responsible drinker... This is a great gift and a fun goody bag. I kind of just went with things I liked. I wanted to put a candy bar in there too, but it might have melted because we're not going to the hotel right away...so we thought scratch offs would be fun! And the last scratch off Someone won for the what's in my bag at the bridal shower won $5! So that was good! So yeah! Quick, simple bridesmaids diaries. Didn't have time for much else today... I'll write more about the bachelorette party next week. Byeeee! -Shannon

So the bridal shower stuff was really fun! Here are some tips, what we put in the goody bags, what we put in the bags and stuff like that. The Venue  So my tips for a venue are to get a place you know and you love and that you know can do that. My sister wanted to have the shower at a new restaurant... but that restaurant was still kind of finding its ground. Its very small so we didn't know if it would fit everyone and it took a long time for them to get our orders... so we didn't know if it would be good or if it would even still be open... so we decided to go somewhere we knew and somewhere we loved. And we know the owner and stuff... so thats good! The Games  So we did a few games for prizes and a few fun activities. We started off with Bridal Shower Taboo, which was a fun game where we couldn't say the words Wedding, Bride, Honeymoon, or Vows. We each had clothespins clipped to ourselves and if you overheard someone saying one of the words you could take their cl

Favorites  Greek Food- I know I just mentioned this in my It List... but I really like Greek Food this week. There's a good Greek Place by my dance Studio and its really yummy. And I had it once this week... but yeah. Yummy and I like it! Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Perfume- I have a rollerball of this and I've been using it before dancing and it just smells really good and its a good workout perfume cause it doesn't stink when you sweat and its a nice scent and it is just a nice smell. It mixes well with other scents and I like having it in a Rollerball because its very easy. I kinda want the full size cause I have the full size of Nirvana White... but I don't think I'll get it anytime soon. Idk. Iced Chai Latte- I'm all about the chai this week! Its so good and its really sweet when its iced and it just has that little bit of spice... really good flavor. I like it a lot! Highlights  So the Shower went really well. Everyone had a great time, my s

Alright favorites for april... GO! 1) Dance Lessons- You guys know I'm taking dance lessons to get good for my sisters wedding and now I'm really having fun with them. Its a fun little hobby I have now and I've really been loving it. I think they are a lot of fun and if you've been thinking of them or just want something to do thats a fun workout... I like dancing! Its fun and creative and I just like it a lot! Its fun. 2) My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- I loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding... its one of my favorite movies and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like MBFGW2 just as much! If not more. Well okay... MBFGW is a better movie in general, but 2 was funnier. I also started Tearing up at 2 and I didn't in the first one... lol. There's a lot of heart and I love Nia Vardalos and John Corbett together. Nia Vardalos is also one of my favorite people. She's my idol and she's one of the nicest people to follow on social media and seems like a sweet, ge

So... I just watched the first 2 videos one after the other... and Idk what to even think! Sausage Party Trailer  Alright this is an adult cartoon that really makes you think its going to be a kids movie until it says the F word... and it looks very funny... but it absolutely horrified me. I think it looks funny and it looks like its going to be a great movie... but I'm recovering from the trailer... So it starts off with a bunch of food happy to be taken home out of the grocery store. The Seth Rogen Sausage is in love with a girl bun and they say "Its like we belong together' and its really cute and they play happy music. And the food keeps saying that they've been chosen for a greater good and... its weird. It sounds a little cult-y... so when you see them in the kitchen... you sorta know whats going to happen... but I still wasn't emotionally prepared for the part where the woman peels the skin off of the potato! Its just kind of brutal, and then the baby c

So the surprise #1 movie at the box office this weekend is The Boss with Melissa McCarthy! I saw it... and I have some thoughts! So... it wasn't a bad movie... but it wasn't the funniest movie. Melissa McCarthy is very entertaining and  I pretty much like anything she's in. This may have been my least favorite movie of hers... but its still not a bad movie. I had fun watching it, I'm happy I saw it ... but overall I'd say it was okay. It isn't all that funny... most of the funny parts are in the trailer... so if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the funny parts... but I felt connected to the characters and I thought there was a good story in there. As I said, it was a fun movie to watch, just to see. Idk if I'd rush out to see it this weekend... you could totally wait to watch it on TV, I think I'd like this wayyy better on TV instead of in the movies... but yeah. It was good. I really liked Kristen Belle's character. I think she'

Alright... I wanted to do this again... cause I wanted to. Lol. 5) Hardcore Henry- This was sort of a nothings really out type of week... but even still... I thought this was going to be a big movie and it wasn't. I don't remember what its about... but I remember seeing the trailer. For it to be #5 on its first week in the box office... that can't be too good. Lol. 4) My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- I love this movie! You know I love this movie... I kinda want to see it again... its great lol. 3) Zootopia- Haven't seen this one yet! I want to... but I feel old lol. I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD or whatever... But yeah. Looks good! 2) Batman vs Superman- I think last time I mentioned this movie I said I wanted to watch it on tv... I'm not sure. I mean you can tell that Batman is clearly Ben Affleck through his mouth... that's pretty stupid. Some people are saying this movie isn't that bad... but I'm done with bad batman movies. Batman is

I've said everything I need to say about it kinda.  I have the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation along with the concealer. And I also have the bare minerals bare skin foundation, which I don't think I used this week... I kinda want to use up the Maybelline first... but I may finish that this week. Idk. Not sure but I think I'm near the end.  And I have the Nyx Color Correcting Concealer cause I'm trying to get the hang of this color correcting thing. I did a good job the first time I tried it and sunday... not so much... so yeah.  I have the benefit erase paste which I want to finish up. I have the Elf HD Powder which I want to finish up too... I don't think I'm going to finish any of these up all that soon.. but whatever... I'll try an

Today has been super busy... idk when I'm going to going to have a chance to write at all this week! This weekend is my sister's bachelorette party so... yeah. I'm just going to give you some snippets of my day... this might be what I'm doing all week... you know what? Yeah. This week will be snippet week. Lol. - Last night/ at like midnight today I started cleaning my room, and I did a pretty good job. It was nice. -I'm doing a makeup challenge, and today's look was blue, and I really liked the look I came up with! I used Makeup Geek's Pegasus for the blue and Phantom to sort of anchor it...  I love it! - Went to the dollar store looking for compact mirrors for my sister's bridal shower. -They didn't have them, looked at another drugstore... didn't have them. - Went to Starbucks and had a White Mocha. Everyone working at my starbucks is the best. They were all nice. - Went to Target and got Bridal Shower Bingo. They didn't have the co

First weekly wrap up of April! Cool! Favorites  My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- I love this movie! I reviewed it yesterday I love it. It is really funny and its just one of those movies that will put you in a good mood. I think it'd be a fun date night movie, particularly for big families... its just fun! Pickled Eggs- Weird one, but yep. I'm super picky, but for whatever reason, I love hard boiled eggs. And my mom always makes pickled eggs around easter and I like them a lot. Really good. Iced Chai Latte from Starbucks- Now that its getting warmer out, I've been getting iced drinks from Starbucks, and I think my regular Starbucks makes the best Starbucks Chai Lattes ever. Its so sweet and tasty I really loved it. I only had one this week... but still a favorite! I enjoy it. Highlights  Wednesday I had Dance classes and some not so fun stuff happened after dance class... but that was all sorted out on Thursday when I got what I think I'm going to wear to my sister

I knew before I saw this I would like it... and I know it got bad reviews and its not going to win any academy awards or anything... but I've had a kind of rough week, and this made me smile, laugh and even tear up a little for about an hour and thats all that matters right? I don't think I've ever left a movie with so many people with smiles on their faces and in a cheerful mood as this movie... and that's what you have to think about while seeing a movie. So some of why I like this movie so much is the same as why I didn't like fuller house. I loved the first movie, and I loved the familiarity of the old characters and the additional characters too. A lot of the jokes were the same as the first movie... but they were different enough to kind of have a new spin. It was fresh and nice and funny. I liked the beginning where Gus was picking everyone up and they all lived next door in some greek-themed house. It was funny. It wasn't as good as the first movie r

March 18th  Alright... So I'm doing good so far! I got out early and went shopping and got over 5,000 steps so far! It's only 2:45 now... so that isn't bad! I can definitely get to 10,000 if I try... and I think I can try and I'm going to try! Okay... didn't get that many steps... weird. Only 6,383. I guess I got tired from shopping. Lol. March 19th  10,082 alright this was good. I know I went shopping this day... and I guess I did a lot of shopping? I remember being close to 10,000 and my ankle hurt... but I just decided to go for the 10,000... I kind of regretted that the next day... you'll see why. March 20th  19,887! This was the day of the Red Bank Wedding Walk. Also my sister kept saying things like "Ohhh you're only ahead of me because I didn't sync yet." So I walked enough to beat her in the Weekend Warrior Challenge by 14 steps. Lol. March 21st  3,000... I was tired. I wanted to win workweek hustle... but I was too tired t
