November 2016: It List

Here are some of my favorites this month!

1) Late Night TV- So after the events of the election... I figured I would watch as much Late Night TV as I could... so I've been trying to watch just about every show. My favorite is Stephen Colbert... so far. I also really like John Oliver though. Seth Meyers and James Corden are really funny. I like Jimmy Fallon a lot. I started watching Samantha Bee too... so yeah. That is a lot of late night tv... I will probably watch more just because its easy and its fun... and a good way to keep up with the news in a satirical way. If you want a lighter satire I'd say Jimmy Fallon and the... darkest satire is probably Sam Bee or John Oliver because they're on cable and can kind of tell it like it is.

2) Sugar Cookie Egg Nog- I almost don't want to even mention this because its hard to get and its really really good... we've been buying as many as we can when we see it... so if you live in Central Jersey... sorry for the low stock and also don't buy it because I want it! Lol. But yeah... it is amazing! I love it. They haven't had it in a couple years... but they brought it back, and now I'm happy. Lol. I'm not even saying the brand because... I'm selfish. It's Hood. Lol.

3) How To Get Away With Murder- That twist though!!!!! Was not expecting that at all... I'm a little sad... but I think its a good twist and I'm curious to see how the rest of the series goes.

4) Hamilton- If you're wondering if I still like Hamilton or not... I do even more now! I listened to it so much during the election... and its helping me have faith in the world and I feel like I have a new appreciation for it.

5) Super Carlin Brothers- I love these guys! They have really interesting videos, now they're mostly about Disney and Pixar, which I also love... but the first couple years they just had conversations and it was really interesting and I like just having on Super Carlin Brothers while I do things like clean my room or something because it is just a lot of fun.

6) Joanne by Lady Gaga- Great cd. I actually just did a review on it right here and I think its really good. Its kind of different and I really liked it! Its a good one!

7) Johanna's Christmas- Speaking of Joanne, Johanna's Christmas is a coloring book I got recently that I've really been liking. It gets me in the christmasy mood and its just a good one! I really like it a lot!

8) Simply Christmas By Leslie Odom Jr- I'm going to have a review on this soon enough, but I really like it! He has a nice voice... and Ave Maria just brings tears to my eyes. Its a beautiful cd and I recommend downloading it or streaming it if you can.

And I think that is everything! Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
