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!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
