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!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
