Weekly Wrap Up- 6.19.16



Favorites 
Grace and Frankie- Still a favorite! I love this show... its really funny, I'm almost done and I'll have a review soon and then I'll watch Orange is The New Black... but this is good! I like it a lot! 

Last Year was Complicated- The new Nick Jonas CD is really great! I'll have a review on that sometime soon also... but I liked it. Even though all his songs kinda sound the same, I think there's a purpose for that. He's telling a story. Lol.

Watching Movies- Watching movies is just fun. I haven't done that in a little while, so I watched Pitch Perfect 2 and My Big Fat Greek Wedding when I was cleaning my room. I bought Deadpool really cheap at Target, so I think I'll watch that when I finish cleaning... so yeah. That's fun! 

Snippets from the week 
-Monday was my moms bday, so we went out to lunch and dinner. It was nice. We went out a lot this week too... we went out friday and yesterday... so that was good. And my grandmother took us to lunch one day this week too... so that was nice!
-I didn't do much Wednesday. On Thursday I got a lot of cleaning done in my room and that was when I watched Pitch Perfect 2 and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
-I also went to Target and out for Ice Cream on Thursday.

TV Highlights 
Grace and Frankie... Uncle Buck, which I'll have a review of soon... and I think thats it. Other than the movies I mentioned.

Noteworthy Snacks 
Blueberry oreos... review soon lol. Pink Drink. I went to a place called Coney Waffle and got a waffle ice cream. That was good. And Cheese fries from Windmill... yum. 

News and World Events 
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis announced they are expecting a 2nd baby. 

Thats all I feel like mentioning. The news this week sucked and this is a happy blog... so yeah. Just be nice to people. Do a random act of kindness for a stranger or something nice for someone. I think a lot of people get into ruts when the news is so horrible and the kindness of a stranger will show you that the world is a better place than you think.

Ohh but I do want to mention some not so great news just because I haven't heard it talked about on the news very much. Alejandro "Jano" Fuentes was shot and killed in Chicago this week. A man ordered him to get out of his car, and shot him. Fuentes was 45. This was just a week after the tragic death of Christina Grimmie.

On CBS's Sunday Morning it mentioned that since the attack in Orlando last week... there have been 207 gun-related deaths in the United States... but you know, the big problem in America is Microbeads... 


Thoughts 
I kind of went over this already, but just be kind to people. You never know whats going on. There have been a lot of people reminding me of that this week in particular. Just people I know just from Instagram or Periscope have been so kind to me this week... its just been a good week of that. So that's what I'd like to mention as my little advice of the week. 

Bye! Hope this made you smile at least! Have a happy Father's Day! Hope everyone has a nice day!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
