Weekly Wrap Up 4.3.16

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's Bachelorette Party. Friday I got that Chai Latte and went to Target and Saturday I saw MBFGW2! Fun Stuff!

Noteworthy Snacks 
My sister made good Carrot Cake Cupcakes for easter. They were yummy!

I also tried Carrot cake Hershey Kisses... and those are also amazing! They taste like White Chocolate with a cream in the middle... maybe I'll do a Scribbles About Food for them this week. Even though I don't think they're available anymore... I'm running low on ideas here. Lol. I have nothing to post for tomorrow so far.

News 
Justin Bieber cancelled his meet n greets because he felt it drained him spiritually to meet so many amazing people. I understand this, I don't like having many friends because at a certain point, it gets hard and just makes me feel bad about myself... but I'm going to get out my tiny violin for this one cause... He's Justin Bieber. I totally understand the problem and I feel bad for him and support him... but idk if he's refunding these people... I think he must be... but yeah. That kinda sucks.

Louis CK said that he prefers newspapers to internet news because internet news is like "heroin." I read this quote online... so I'm sure he said something a lot better than the way they're phrasing it.

Kim Kardashian threw a baby shower for her friend Chrissy Teigan. Cute. You can see it next season on Keeping Up With The Kardashians I'm sure.

Ivanka Trump gave birth to her third baby, speaking of babies. His or her name is "vote for grandpa." Jk... and please don't. JK vote for whoever you want... but they're a bunch of dumb dumbs.

Pez hosted an Easter Egg Hunt that was cancelled abruptly due to the bad behavior... of PARENTS! Adults who are responsible for the well being of other smaller humans were beating up kids to get some candy... CANDY! I don't think there was anything in the eggs other than Candy... that's stupid its just stupid and I hate people. One kid had a broken bucket... another a broken nose! You can't win!

There was an April Fool's Day Prank that Jon Lovitz was dating a 27 year old model



World Events 
Easter was Sunday. That's fun. My sister and I dyed eggs... even though we're old. Lol. In the Easter Snap Story they showed everything from the Easter Parade in New Orleans, to New York and people just going to St. Patricks and then to the parade, to the Vatican's easter mass... all very beautiful. If you celebrate Easter or not, I think the ceremonies are beautiful. And i love seeing how different people celebrate different things.

There was a Rihana Concert in New York... she seems like someone fun to see live! I feel like I'm not a huge fan... but I like most of the songs on the radio. As far back as Pon De Replay and now... she's come a long way and I like seeing who she is now. This was on the NY Snap story... but I figured it was worth mentioning. My friend actually saw her in Newark this week... so that was cool!

Thoughts 
Uhhhh patience maybe? If something bad happens, wait a little bit... it won't be an issue for very long and you won't even remember the trouble once its gone. But also learn from the trouble because thats important... so just improve and remember that... and that will be good. Also if you make an account for something verify your email address cause I think you can get hacked if you don't do that... lol.

Byeee!

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...
