Scribbles About Movies: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

Alright last day before Blogmas! This is exciting! I don't have much ready for Blogmas on this blog yet, not even going to lie. Lol.

Anyway... Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them!

I wasn't really expecting this movie to be amazing. I kind of had a low bar set because even though it is in the same world as Harry Potter, and its fun to go back to the Wizarding World... but its not Harry Potter. It wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't feel the same... its not the same. 5 movies is going to be too much, it just won't be as good.

And I was SOOOOOOO happy that I was proven wrong! This feels more like Harry Potter to me than a lot of the Harry Potter movies. And I think thats because JK Rowling actually wrote the screenplay for this movie and she's writing/ has written the screenplays for the other movies as well! So that gives me high hopes for the future of these movies.

There is also nothing to compare the movie to. The book didn't really have a plot... so the only movie or book I think you could even kind of find comparisons too was The Deathly Hallows... but that's a whole other thing. Grindelwald is the connection between the two movies.

As much as I love Hogwarts... I loved that this wasn't at Hogwarts! I like that it was just in New York and it was in the past because that's just kind of cool. We haven't seen too much of the Wizard World outside of Hogwarts, and it was just fun to see how it worked in America and in the real world.

I liked the characters a lot too... both human and beast. I thought they all had interesting relationships to each other and they were pretty well developed. I would talk a little bit more about them... but I almost spoiled... a lot... so I won't... but I'm hoping everyone returns for the sequel and that they have more adventures.

I liked that Newt was a Hufflepuff... you could kind of see it in how he acted to... its weird how different all the people in all the different houses are, but we haven't seen to many Hufflepuffs in action... and that was pretty cool.

I liked that the end wasn't totally resolved either... there's a lot that could happen in the sequels! I'm excited for them already!

I definitely recommend seeing this! It was a great movie I give it an A++ I think its my favorite Harry Potter movie so far... it is just really really good! See it in theaters too, it was amazing!

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...
