Life Hacks: Shannon Edition

Here are some fun tips that I call my "adult life hacks" and then some more... real life ones. Lol. Its not much... but yeah.

The Grown Up Way To Get Chicken Fingers 
If you're at a restaurant, ask for fried chicken in your salad... that way Bam: Chicken fingers for dinner! Adult Hack! 

The Grown Up Way To Have Chips and Dip for dinner 
"Potato Chip encrusted Salmon with a dill-sour cream dressing" -is what the menu read. What Shannon read was "Here is chips and dip, with salmon." Life= Hacked! 

Sunglasses Holder 
This one I'm actually pretty proud of. I have a lot of sunglasses and I always have trouble storing it... but I have this little cubby in my room that has little like shingles on the door i guess? Idk how to phrase that but there are like spaces in between... like how a lot of closet doors are. Anyway I stuck the sunglasses inside of the cubby on the spaces... so yeah. Life Hack! I'll try to show a picture. 

Bam! You've been life hacked!

Latergram Hack 
Okay... so I used to have an app called Latergram... I did a whole post on why that app is amazing, and then another one about why I deleted it... look for it if you want to look for that on here... you can look for that... but I liked the convenience of it, and I felt like I was getting better with using it before I realized it didn't really work for me... but anyway I liked writing out the reviews before and it would copy and I would write out the review beforehand and it would copy and paste it for me. Which was awesome.

So basically... I just plan ahead. I know what I want to review and take the pictures before and then I'll copy and paste the review itself when I publish the photo... so yeah! Thats a little easier for me as an instagrammer. I liked having the scheduler... but this is just as easy... kinda sorta.

Writing Hack 
Do you have a story set in a specific place and you want to feel like your there? Try looking up the white noise you're looking for to create the ambiance of wherever you're writing. If you're used to writing in a coffee shop? They have a coffee shop sound. Writing about a dark, stormy night in the city? They have that! Writing a horror story? They have stuff for that too! I found that I like this youtube channel. They have a wide variety of noises and time increments... so that's a good one. Also the noises sounded more familiar to me than any other channel. It was helpful for me.

So those are all my hacks for right now. Do you have any life hacks? Let me know in the comments!

Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
