August 2016: It List

1) Harry Potter and the Cursed Child- I finished this book in a day. Its pretty easy to read because its written in screenplay format... but its really great and its a fun read. Its just really fun to get back into that Harry Potter World again. I think I'm going to finish and reread the series lol. I haven't read the 5th or 6th books... but I'm happy to be back in that world. I just think its really fun!

2) The Dis Unplugged- I've mentioned that I liked this podcast a few times before... but I've really started listening to it a lot and its just fun to listen to. I like it. It makes me feel like I'm at the theme parks, but I'm just at home watching and I like that. Its fun to watch or listen to. They're all really funny and get along well. Its like a talk show with good people, but just about Disney and other Orlando Theme Parks... and surprisingly, there's always a lot of news on that. I think its pretty cool.

3) The Office- I just started re-watching this kind of randomly... and I love it. Possibly even more the second time around. There were a lot of jokes that just didn't land the first time and some things that I missed... and its just really good watching it a second time.

4) Tropicana Juices- I've been obsessed with the Tropicana Watermelon juice and their Peach Lemonade. The Peach Lemonade tastes more citrus-y than peachy... but its still really good and kind of addictive. Last night I was up late and I was like "You know... I want that Peach Lemonade." So I got it... and it was yummy.

5) Cotton Candy Grapes- I don't know if these are around anymore right now... but how could Cotton Candy Grapes not be on the list!?!?!?! They're grapes that taste like cotton candy! What a time to be alive! Lol. This is definitely one of the best fruits ever... I'm excited to try these again, it seems they're around for a few weeks at the beginning of August... so keep a look out for them!

6) American Gothic- So I was a little on the fence about this show when it started... I liked it, but its not the best show ever... however last week's episode was really really good! So I needed to include it. I don't know if the show will be over by the time I post this or not... I'll probably post a reaction to the finale... but I think its the Politician that did it. She just knows a little more than she should, you know?

7) Scorpion Solitaire- I just started playing this a few days ago... and its really hard... but I like it. Its just something different I like to do... lol.

8) Magic Kingdoms- I think this was in my chart chat last month... I did a review on it too. Its a game that is essentially Roller Coaster Tycoon, but with Disney Characters. I really like it, I've been having fun playing with it and just really like it overall.

9) Snyders of Hannover S'mores Pretzels- These are amazing. I have a Scribbles About Food coming up about these... and I'll save the review for that... but these are amazing and you need them.

I think that is about everything. Lots of food this month. Good Stuff!

Byeee!

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...
