Weekly Wrap Up 6.5.16

Welcome to the first Weekly Wrap up of June 2016! Hope you had a great May and a great first few days of June!



Favorites 
Pinterest- I was going to delete the Pinterest app from my phone... but then I saw a few things and I was like "ohh..." Then an hour and a half later I was pinning everything. Workouts, Organization, Writing... It was pretty fun! Pretty helpful too! Hopefully it'll help me with my instagram and blogs and I can start writing a little more too while I'm at it... seems like a good idea. 

Nifty- Along with Pinterest, I've been digging Buzzfeed's Nifty page... idk why I'm probably never going to do any of the DIY projects... but I love watching them and they have some good, easy ideas. Its fun to watch!

Me Before You- Gonna be honest... I'm 16 pages into this book... maybe... maybe less than that lol. Haven't had much time to read it this week, but its really well written. I've been liking it a lot. So this is an honorable mention that I think is worth mentioning. So I'm excited to read this.

Comedy Bang Bang- I haven't listened to this show in forever... so I'm catching up now and its just really good and funny. I've talked about this many times before, so I don't feel the need to mention it too much... but its a good show if you haven't listened to it yet, you should start! Its great! 

Snippets from the week 
-Sunday I discovered Pinterest and made a bullet journal. Lol.
- Monday I went out with my friend Cristina and we went to the beach and ate lunch and went shopping.
-I went to lunch with my mom one day this week. And that was nice.
- I went to the mall and didn't buy anything one day... so that was fun.
-Friday I celebrated National Donut Day.
-I went to target and started organizing my room and cleaning it more. That was good.
-I went to a nice restaurant and had Potato chip encrusted salmon with a dill sour cream dressing... aka I had chips and dips for dinner... but in a grown up way!


TV Highlights 
Idk if I watched much TV this week. I watched some of Marty and Maya... and I liked that. Weird that they aren't in many sketches together though. Right?


Noteworthy Snacks 
-Donuts from Broad Street Dough Co... these are the best! 
-Penne Vodka... yum.
-Tacos from Finns... yum again. Very local types of foods. 
-Ate a Scone Pony scone today... lol.

Fridays Cake pop things... those were good. 


News and World Events 
-Muhammad Ali died this Friday. I didn't know much about him or about sports... but he was really smart and funny from what they've shown of him. Idk if he has a bio... but I think that'd be cool to read. Very sad. He will be missed.
- A lot of celebrity break ups this week... Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderama... I feel like maybe there's a theme here. Its all sorta young pop stars. I'm guessing Gigi is with Wilmer, Zayn is with Taylor and Demi's with Calvin... that'd be kinda funny.
- Reports of Richard Simmons being hospitalized for Bizzare Behavior... doesn't surprise me. If you've seen the Skalar Brother's comedy special... that doesn't surprise me!
- Ben Stein endorses Donald Trump for president, despite his ignorance about the economy... just what everyone is looking for, the Ben Stein Bump!
- Apparently a former friend of OJ Simpson believes he will confess to the things he was accused of. Don't need to go into detail on that. 

Thoughts 
Planning and organizing is hard... but it can be fun... just don't expect too much. Lol. Bad advice? Idk I'm out of thoughts. 

Byeee! 
-Shannon

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...

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
