Weekly Wrap Up 9.25.16



Favorites 
Scream Queens- I didn't love the premiere of season 2 quite as much as I loved Season 1... but this is still a great show and possibly my favorite on TV currently. So yeah... it was really really good!

The Good Place- This is my favorite show this year so far! If you like Parks and Rec or Brooklyn 99... You might like this! Same writers I believe. And it wasn't really what I expected at all. There's a lot more plot to it than it seemed from the commercials. It was funny though because in the comments someone said "This is just like the show Selfie" which made me laugh because really Selfie was based off of Pygmalion. I don't think they were really going for a total Pygmalion theme the way that Selfie was... and this is much more creative than Selfie. Its a good spin on that type of story... and I'll have another review on that soon!

Justin Scarred- Justin Scarred is a vlogger that does a lot of Disney vlogs and shows interesting things from around the world... and I've been really into his channel lately. He does the best videos on the Disney Parks, in my opinion. He's funny and he gets beautiful shots of everything and his videos are just a lot of fun.

Salted Caramel Mocha- Haven't had this in years... I had it this week and at first it kinda made me sick... but it was overall delicious!

Life Scribbles
I did this already... 

TV Highlights 
This year, I decided to watch ALL the tv show premieres for the blog... so keep a look out for reviews of the fall schedules for NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox... and maybe I'll do the CW later on. So I've watched a lot of TV This week! 

The Good Place really surprised me... it was really clever and very good. This is Us... also surprised me. I didn't think I'd like it at all... the twist wasn't really a twist... but I liked it a lot anyway... and I just really liked that one. Speechless was pretty good. Kevin Can Wait wasn't the worst thing ever. I think the shows this year look promising. 

I also started watching Lucifer because I wanted to see that from the beginning before doing a review on it... I like that a lot. I watched New Girl and that was really good... again idk why I just stopped watching it, but I'll start again. The Goldbergs was funny. The other ABC shows were okay... The Big Bang Theory was okay.

I watched Supernatural... finished up The Office... there was a lot to watch and I did watch a lot. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

Klondike Bar Mrs. Fields cookie sandwiches and Klondike Bar Oreo sandwiches. I'm just a fan of an Ice Cream sandwich and these are really good.

The Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha. I didn't have this since I was in college because I had one one time with a salted caramel brownie and it was too much and I quickly had to leave one class to go to another class... and it was just wayyyy too much! And I got a Venti and that was also wayyyy too much... but I got a grande today and that was just right. Its not too rich, not too sweet. Just the right amount of flavor and I just like it a lot! It isn't something I can drink quickly and I don't think I would like it cold at all... but I did really love it this week!

News and World Events 
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt! Jolie has requested physical custody of the couples 6 kids and Pitt would have visitation rights. Apparently Pitt has anger issues, which led to the split... very sad day. I just started to kind of like them as a couple. 

Jim Carey is involved in a wrongful death lawsuit over the suicide of his on again off again girlfriend.  This is a messy one... It don't really know what to think of it. He did a lot wrong, I don't think he really intended this happening... but he creeps me out a lot now and its scary that he's involved in all of this and it is hard to think of. I think it would be kind of hard to see his movies now to be honest. Its sad. 




Thoughts 
Do something? I'm bad. I had a good one but I'm not feeling that inspirational. 

Clickables 
I already linked to Justin Scarred's youtube page... I'm just kind of watching all the TV now... so yeah. 

Byeee!

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 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...

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...
