Father's Day Gift Guide: 2016

I'm kinda bad at shopping for men... idk its just hard... but here are some good ideas.

Books are always good! If your dad likes history, maybe get him the book that inspired the musical Hamilton! I think that would be a good one. There are also lots of funny-man biographies out. I think Martin Short has one, Patton Oswalt has a book about movies thats good if your dad likes movies, Nick Offerman has a book called "Paddle Your Own Canoe" that seems to be THE father's day book to get. If your dad likes dogs and fiction maybe something like The Art of Racing In The Rain. And Cookbooks are always an option!

Is your dad a Home-Improvement buff like mine? Home Depot Gift Card! Lol might not be the most fun thing ever, but my dad really likes it.

Got a lot of money? Lol. That sounds rude... but its true. Treat your dad to tickets to see Hamilton! That seems to be a musical that dads can get on board with. Lol. Or get him the soundtrack if you can't justify the insane price of tickets. As I've said, its a play that dads would like.

One year we went to a glass blowing place and my sister and I got our hand prints in a marbleized paperweight type of thing. He liked that. Sentimental things like that are always good, pictures of the family that you could frame or create a book of or print on a blanket or something like that. There's a lot you can do with a picture or a handprint, and that will probably be something your dad will love!

I think if you're a kid or you just can't afford a present right now... get creative! Craft, do a coupon book, write something nice for him! Theres a lot you can do with a little bit of stuff... you know!

Dvd's are always good too. My dad likes the Star Wars movies and the Minions... we're a minion-loving family! So really... anything minion related is also good!

If your dad is technologically challenged... or just doesn't understand social media... teach him how to use stuff! That could be fun and dangerous lol... but I think any dad would appreciate that!

Also ALCOHOL! Lol. My dad doesn't drink a whole lot... and honestly we have a lot of alcohol we'll never drink in the house... but still I think thats something dads could appreciate.

And a Fitbit! Thats the gift that everyone needs and no one really knows they need it... so its the perfect gift! Lol.

Hydro Flasks would be good too! Those are good water bottles that work perfectly if you're looking to drink more water, or if you work out a lot.

And yeah... I think those are all my ideas for right now!

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
