Weekly Wrap Up: 5.21.16

Early weekly wrap up this week! Here we go!

Favorites 

The Four Agreements- This was a good book that I read for a book club that I'm in. It was the first book and its just very calming. If you've got a lot on your mind... just read it and you might get something from it. It's a good book to have.

Eat Smart Snacks Three Bean Healthy Tortilla Chip in Spicy Black Bean- These are amazing! I think I already wrote a review on this blog. I did an unboxing on this from my Influenster Sprout Voxbox on my other blog... I got these from Influenster, which is a company that sends free products for reviewing purposes... and this one is probably my favorite food thing that they've sent. These are really tasty and even replacing Cool Ranch Doritos... just a tiny bit.

Weddings- I've been doing wedding stuff all week... so that's important and pretty much a favorite. Lol.

Snippets from the week 
- Monday I started my book club and skyped with some of my friends. That was fun! I was reading most of the day and doing nothing. 
- My sister had her rehearsal dinner this week and that was a lot of fun.
-Wednesday I went to mall and caught up on sleep because it was the last day I could actually do that.
-Friday I went to the spa to get a manicure and pedicure... and it was amazing.
-Went to dance one day this week.
-went with my dad to pick up my aunt, who I haven't seen in a long time and went to lunch with her.
- Overall... just had a fun week! 

TV Highlights 
-I started watching Jane The Virgin again because I'm all caught up on Crazy Ex Girlfriend for the season... which I didn't know about and I'm sad about it. But I still have a few more episodes of Jane The Virgin left... so hopefully that won't be too bad. 

Missed the Grey's Finale but I know Callie is leaving or died or something because every news article says "Callie is leaving" and it's bothering me. 

News and World Events 
Courtney Stodden aka one of the worst human beings to exist married to another bad person that she married as a child is now 4 months pregnant... so good luck there. 

Blake Lively posted a picture of herself and captioned it "LA Face with an Oakland Booty" and the internet went crazy! Sir Mix A Lot defended the post saying that although he did write Baby Got Back with WOC in mind, he was trying to send a message that all bodies should be accepted in magazines. So no matter what your race, color or body shape is you are beautiful and its a beautiful thing that there are so many different types of people out there. This has nothing to do with the Lively photo, but confidently embrace who you are... that seems to be the positive thing you can get from this selfie.

Plus Sized Model Ashley Graham plays the love interest of Joe Jonas in the video for Toothbrush by DNCE. Not only is this awesome because I love the song, but there aren't many plus-sized love interests and they did the video without conveying any sort of message about plus sized women... so that's awesome too.

Forever 21 announces that they are going to have a credit card. And that's a thing. Lol. 

Danny Trejo celebrated his birthday this week! Good job!

Thoughts 
This has been one of the busiest/craziest/funnest weeks ever... so just take time to enjoy things and if you know you're going to have a busy week... spend your free time sleeping. Lol. 

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
