Blogmas Day 2: Favorite Children's Characters

So on Instagram Alex's Lemonade started a challenge where you post children's characters for Childhood Cancer Awareness. The Ice Bucket challenge raised enough awareness for ALS that they actually found what causes ALS... so I'm hoping this can help cure cancer as well... especially for children because that is a lot for a child to deal with. Here is the link to Alex's lemonade. I would encourage you to help spread the word about the website. Donate if you can and if you feel comfortable with it. But yeah! Onto my favorite childhood characters!

Sully from Monster's Inc 
Monster's Inc is one of my favorite movies of all time... and it is partially because of how sweet Sully was too Boo. And he has kind of a mischievous side too... but he's just a great character. I love him! I love all the holiday Sully's that they have dressed up for the holidays. He's just so cute and cuddly. I love Sully!

Minions 
Obviously... I love minions. I just think they're cute and they're funny and I love Despicable Me and all its characters and I love Minions and that story. It's so clever that they're just creatures that go to villains. I'm currently writing this underneath a minion blanket.

Gru from Despicable Me 
I'm trying to just mention one character per movie because... let's face it... this could be a very very long list... but I can't not mention Gru! Gru is so sweet. I love Despicable Me. Gru always makes me laugh. Steve Carell is the best!

Stitch 
I don't think I can watch this movie without crying.... especially now that I have a dog and I had another dog that passed away that really really reminds me of Stitch... its a sweet movie for any pet owner and Stitch is so cute and fluffy! I love how he's so bad but then he becomes so lovable!

Rapunzel 
I really relate to Rapunzel. Idk why... she's just my Disney Princess. I saw Moana today and I love Moana as a Disney Princess/Heroine... but Rapunzel is more me. And I love Tangled. It's a really pretty movie.

The Muppets 
Idk if the Muppets count as a children's  character... because I think adults enjoy them equally. I also can't pick one because... they're better together. My favorite muppets are Statler and Waldorf and Miss Piggy... but I can't just choose them because they aren't as good without the other Muppet characters either. I just love The Muppets. Especially the Christmas Carol... so good.

Scrooge McDuck 
If you don't know who Scrooge McDuck is... I'm sorry. You need to look up Duck Tales right now! Its so good! Mickey's Christmas Carol is great too.

Miss Nelson 
This is from the book Miss Nelson is missing. My favorite book as a kid... I love Miss Nelson and Miss Viola Swamp! Great book very cute!

I know I can think of 5000 more... but these are the characters coming to mind right now that are important to my childhood... and I hope a lot of other kids have some happiness in their holidays now because of Alex's Lemonade. Any of these things would be great to get as gifts for any children in your life... and even if these aren't movies or anything specifically Christmasy... these are still movies I like to watch around christmas!

Byeee!

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...

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...
