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!
-Shannon

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
