Weekly Wrap Up 10.9.16



Favorites 

Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice  (Cider)- I think this is my new favorite Fall drink from Starbucks. As much as I love the PSL and Salted Caramel Mocha... and will probably keep getting those because I need the caffeine... this drink is so much tastier! Its just really really yummy! Just such a good drink! I love it! 

Hocus Pocus- I watched this movie twice this week... I've watched this movie as long as I can remember... never gets old for me! It is the perfect Halloween movie! Its so funny and there are some genuinely real spooky moments in there too! The scares in the beginning before the Sanderson Sisters are brought to the 20th century are the best for me. Like there's one decoration of a skeleton that pops up and its really scary, but its in a not-that-scary moment... so its just kind of a jump... I just thought that was pretty cool this time watching it. And I feel like I notice something different every time watching it too, like I noticed this time that the mom looks soooo different when she's not dressed as Madonna... never noticed that before! It was just kind of cool! 



Life Scribbles
- Monday is when I first tried the Starbucks Apple Cider and also went to Dunkin Donuts in search of a cider donut from there... they didn't have any, but I got the cronut and that was really really yummy.
-Tuesday my mom and I did a lot of running around and then later we went out to eat... and we had the Apple Cider again and got one for my sister.
Wednesday
- Thursday I went to Red Bank and I searched for a Rite Aid... and I found it but it wasn't in a good spot to walk to... so I didn't go there... but I did do some damage at Alex and Ani... and I got free Starbucks! I think it was a pay-it-forward thing... no one ever said that though when I was in the store... so I didn't realize it was a pay-it-forward thing and didn't pay for the next person. I don't think anyone was behind me though... I decided to give a bigger tip for the employees... because that is paying it forward in a different way.
-Friday I thought I had a birthday party to go to... but that wasn't until Saturday... so I went over to my friends house instead and we watched Disney movies. Lol.
- Saturday was the birthday party. It was a surprise party, which is always extra fun! 

TV Highlights 
I've been liking Let's make a deal a lot this week. Wayne Brady is just a good host.And I like seeing the prizes! 

I missed a lot of tv this week actually... Nothing really on on Monday, Tuesday was the Vice Presidential debate... Wednesday was a pretty good episode of AHS. Blackish and Modern Family were pretty good too... I didn't pay much attention to The Goldbergs... I watched Speechless, which I'm starting to like a lot, but I didn't totally pay attention to that either.



Noteworthy Snacks 
Apple Cider.

Dove has these little mini dove bars out for halloween I guess. They are so good an so fresh, I might like them a little better than an actual dove bar!

I had good pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin cheesecake!




News and World Events 
Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris this weekend. While this is very serious... despite some people thinking it is for the insurance money because Kanye is deep in debt- which hopefully it isn't, even though that makes sense... but also BE SMART WITH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA! Don't be checking into every damn place you go to. Don't travel with millions of dollars worth of jewelry! I don't care how rich and famous you are... you don't need that to travel and don't let people know where you are 24/7. No one needs to know! Just be very,very careful with things. The world is not always a nice place. 

In other sad celebrity news... Lindsay Lohan lost part of her finger in a boating accident. If you look up the pictures... its a little bit gross... so I wouldn't advise it. Just take my word for it... its gross. Hope she recovers!

Harry Potter is coming back to theaters in Imax... not sure if its IMAX 3d... not sure if 3d is still really a thing. I know I saw the last movie in 3d... not sure if that's what they're going for with this Imax  release... but that's exciting! In all honesty, I'm not going to see them. Imax is pricey and I've already seen these movies hundreds and hundreds of times... I would rather just start buying the movies on Blu Ray... so yeah. But, if you've never seen the movies in theaters, I would highly recommend at least seeing the first couple in theaters. Skip the third... I didn't like the third movie... but yeah. All in all its pretty good!

And if you're a fan of Gilmore Girls, you can drink coffee at Luke's soon. Netflix is converting a few coffee shops throughout the country into a Luke's diner or coffee shop or whatever it is. Netflix also did this with the Bluth Frozen Banana Stand before releasing arrested development... and I believe Netflix also released the Central Perk pop-up coffee shop for the release of Friends on Netflix. So that's cool. Gilmore Girls is one of those things I just couldn't get into... I watched it once and there was no conflict and not much really happened... but some people absolutely love the show... so hopefully they actually get to go there and aren't just saying "I'm totally going there" like I said with the Banana stand and Central Perk...

Hurricane Matthew hit Florida and along the southern coast, I guess you could say. Walt Disney World closed for the 4th time in 45 years... so that's kind of scary. All the other theme parks in Florida closed too... If you want to see some interesting videos on it... Justin Scarred on Youtube did some great ones! They were on the news and everything!

There was some other stuff with the presidential candidates this week... you can google that cause I'm not doing politics. I have opinions... but this isn't the place for that. There's a reason we have the right to choose... so its good to respect what other people think as long as they respect you!

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
