Mother's Day Gift Guide 2016!

So Mother's day is coming up... here are some gifts you could get... they might not be the most "Last minute" gifts... but I don't think mom would mind getting them a few days late. Lol. Idk. If you order something online like the Hydroflask... which I mentioned yesterday... I think she'll get it.

So let's start with that! I reviewed the hydroflask yesterday and I think that's a great gift! If your mom is into fitness, or even just drinks a lot of water or wants to drink a lot of water, this is a great gift. You can fill it up and drink it all throughout the day. Its really nice, it keeps the water cool on the inside and its really great. Highly recommend!

Another fitness-y thing you could get mom... even if your mom doesn't go to the gym or do any fitness-y things... the Fitbit. My mom does a lot and a lot of the time she walks most of the day... and she didn't really know that she walked that much! And now she has so much fun with the competitions and trying to get her step goal and beating me and my sister and my friends. Its just really fun to see her having that much fun with the fitbit. So that's a good thing to get.

Another thing moms like... Books! My mom does at least. She has a kindle and she loves reading. Some books that my mom has read and can't stop talking about are The Art of Racing in The Rain (she read this when our first dog passed away. We're dog people and this is told from the perspective of a dog), I think there was a book called The Bridge that I think was a historical fiction that she really liked. There was one about Christopher Columbus she liked... she likes Historical fiction a lot... so just know what your mom likes.

Also cookbooks. On periscope last night my friend went through a book called The Art of Eating in The Middle, where she had mostly wholesome healthy recipes... but there were also some great dessert recipes. That looked really yummy because it had a bit of everything. My mom likes The Chew and the Carla Hall cookbook. Again just know what your mom likes, know what chefs she likes and that helps a lot.

Another thing I'm always going to think is a good gifts... Bath and Body Works! There's a lot of stuff... I think there's something for everyone. If you don't want to get Bath and Body Works, there are a lot of great drugstore shower gels too. I like the St. Ives Grapefruit body wash and the Caress Adore forever. You could put a lotion or a bath bomb or some facial stuff in a cute photo box or hat box from Michael's or something and give that to her... that'd be cute! Hair stuff and nail polish too... lol.

Ulta has nice bath bombs that are around $6. They come in sets also, we got a set for a giveaway at my sister's bridal shower.

Also at my sister's bridal shower we did a Manicure in a jar, with a nail polish, nail tools, toe separators, cotton pads, nail polish remover and things like that in a mason jar. It was cute. That would be cute too...

And sheet masks are fun! You could do that with your mom and take pictures. SO cute.

As for makeup... If you want to get your mom that, if you want to get something small, Too Faced Natural Matte, Kat Von D Shade n Light Quads or even maybe the Tartelette tease palette. I haven't tried the tartelette tease, but its cute for a little palette with mostly mattes and some shimmers. Its nice.

And there are great drugstore things too... Ulta brand has a train case with their makeup in it for $20... and Ulta's site just has a huge mothers day thing. Its easy to find something there.

Alright... I think that's it. All the ideas I have right now lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
