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!

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...
