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!

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...
