Bridesmaid Diaries: The Small Stuffs

I figured I'd just do a little mashup of some small stuff you may not think of for weddings... so yeah.

Hiding The Dress From The Groom 
My sister didn't mind other people seeing her dress before the wedding, but she didn't want the groom to see it and he didn't want to see it either. This was difficult because we live in a digital age... and Right when her dress came in, the Facebook app changed and was asking if you wanted to add photos from your camera roll directly to Facebook... so that was a risk. Just be very careful with that! 

The Bathrooms 
So in the bathroom at the wedding, usually they include things like hair ties, advil, other things you might need... the women's room is probably more filled than the mens room... but yeah. Spray on deodorant is useful, a body spray... stuff like that. I used Advil at a friends wedding because I had a really bad headache... so it is very appreciated! 

Bridesmaid Hairstyles 
I like Emma Watson's hair, which is about the same length as mine and she always has really pretty up-dos... my sister doesn't think thats wedding-y enough... so we'll see what happens. I also like my hair shorter than it is now, but my sister freaked out when I cut it saying "You're going to grow your hair out before the wedding right?" So I didn't cut it since then... which is a little ridiculous... do what you want with your hair... but you know... idk how this ones going to work out. Lol. I'm getting my hair cut after. Also... side note... my hair usually grows back really fast and it did not grow that fast this time... so I'm kind of freaking out about that. 

Freaking Out 
Weddings are very fun and exciting... but theres a lot of freaking out involved too because its terrifying! Be okay with people being grumpy or upset... and just know its almost over and then you get to be with the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. And thats good.

And I think that's all. Maybe I'll do an updated Crunch time type of thing... but thats good for now!

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...

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...
