Blogmas Day 20: How To-sday: How To Be an Elf

Today I'm going to talk about being an elf. I'm not an actual elf... technically I'm unemployed and don't even work for Santa... but I'm elf trained. These are some simple ways to spread some holiday cheer... without singing loud for all to hear because that makes me a little bit nervous... not gonna lie.

My mom is a very nice person and she always wraps my presents up every Christmas. She has arthritis though, and after we get home from our Christmas Eve dinner at my Nana's she's often tired and wraps presents on top of that. I already have my Christmas Presents from my parents and I know what they are... so last night when she and my dad left the house... I thought maybe she needed help from an elf, so I decided to help her. I wrapped up my presents... didn't tell her about it until she got home.

Another thing is get little things for people if you know they would like something. I stopped at 5 below to get some little solar powered shakeys for my grandmothers. I know that they like the shakeys and they're really cute... so that will put a smile on their faces.

Also just be extra nice to everyone during the holidays. Employees working at malls, friends, family... holidays can be especially hard for people, so even if maybe they aren't being that nice to you... put it aside and show some extra love and generosity. Tip people with some generosity if you have the means and someone is providing a service for you... just little things like that can really help make the spirits bright.

Helping someone clean, bringing the groceries in, taking out the trash... things like that can also be a bigger help than you would think. It's a nice thing to do anyway if you live with your parents... but you know, around the holidays it might be especially helpful.

And these will help you feel better around Christmas also. Once you're kind and smile to one person.... you'll want to do it all day. Being an Elf is wayyyy more fun than you'd think!

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...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
