Blogmas Day 16:Christmas 2016 It List!!!!

Here are my favorite Chrismasy things of the year... so far!

1) Simply Christmas by Leslie Odom Jr- I reviewed this cd right here and I thought it was just really a great cd. The songs were all nice and I'm a fan of Leslie Odom, Jr.'s voice! I really like it and its been one of my favorites this year!

2) Vlogmas- I watch a lot of daily vloggers regularly. Like The Tim Tracker and The Jones Family Travels and people that are around theme parks... but I've been especially liking them during the holiday season because I love seeing different places around the holidays. It's just interesting to me and I like the addition of several other youtubers doing Vlogmas as well! It's just been fun to see what everyone is up to and how everyone is celebrating. There are lots of extra videos to watch and its fun!

3) Sugar Cookie Egg Nog- This has been my favorite thing for years... but I didn't find it the last couple of years... but this year its back and its so sooo yummy! I love it, my dog begs and begs me for it too. It's hard to find... mostly because we bought them all... but it is amazingly delicious!

4) Chestnut Praline Latte- Sort of an accidental favorite... but a favorite nonetheless. I usually order this around Thanksgiving time and I kind of stop for Christmas... but now I'm not getting my own Starbucks and the people at Starbucks know me really well... so either they think they know my order and its always Chestnut Praline or my mom gets it for me... its still good nonetheless and I currently like it over the Gingerbread Latte. I had a Gingerbread Latte that tasted like flowers... I feel like the syrup is a little different this year... idk... maybe it just got mixed up with the Berry Hibiscus... but I've been more interested in the other flavors... so yeah. Chestnut Praline is super good!

5) The Great American Bake Off- Unmentioned in my "Getting in the Christmas Spirit" blog post... baking shows also really help me get in the holiday spirit. I love this one particularly because it is hosted by Nia Vardalos and her husband Ian Gomez, but I really do like the challenges and seeing all the ideas people come up with. These people are amateur bakers and they pick apart everything about their cookies... that's gotta be rough! But its still fun to watch... which sounds terrible. Lol.

6) Tangled- Not a Christmas movie... yet somehow I've seen it like 3 times this season and now I think it's going to be a Christmas movie for me... But I'm probably still going to just watch it whenever because it is one of my favorite Disney Movies. I like it a lot! It's good.

7) Chocolate Covered Ritz Crackers- I like these a lot! Its just nice chocolate and its good! I love it! I finished a box already... and I kind of want more... I know I'm bad but I don't care. It's yummy.

8) Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate- Super Yummy from Starbucks. I actually just did a review on this right here and it tastes like a nice, warm cookie from the oven. I just had one... so yummy. I love it and will be looking forward to getting it some more!

9) She and Him Christmas Cds- I'm going to have a post about this in a few days I think... but they have a new cd out and I really like it! They have an older CD too, and I've been listening to that... I forgot all about this the last few years, but now I've remembered to listen to it... and I really like both cds. Christmas Party is the new one. A She& Him Christmas is the original... I think I like Christmas Party a little bit better. Idk It's just She & Him Christmas has The Christmas Waltz, which I think is the name of the Frosted Windowpanes song... and I just don't like that song no matter who sings it.

10) The Middle- Since Thanksgiving it has been kind of a better show than usual... You can tell that everything has been leading up to something bigger... and this Christmas Episode is sort of the big thing. It's on right now... and I dig it. It's good!

So that is pretty much everything Christmasy that I've been loving lately!

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...

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...
