Blogmas Day 4: Stocking Stuffer Sundays- Movie Gift Guide!

On my other blog Scribbles About Beauty I'm doing more Beauty and fashion-y stocking stuffer guides. I have an eyeshadow guide on there right now and here I'm doing what movies I would buy and who I would buy them for... so yeah! This is just kind of stuff I've noticed on sale at Target and things like that.

Best Friend/ Sister- For Her 

Sisters obviously is a good one. This one I wanted a lot because I could watch this over and over and over again and I just had it on Tivo. Such a funny movie, I could never get sick of it... so I needed to pick that up.

I also saw they had Easy A... I loved this movie when it first came out, and I was thinking of watching it again. This is a fun one to watch with friends too... although I think I've only ever seen it with my sister or alone. This was $4 at Target!

Trainwreck is a really funny movie too. I haven't seen this as much as the other movies actually... but I should watch it again. It's a really funny movie that I just really like a lot!

If you're more of a sappy movie watcher than a comedy watcher... idk what to really suggest for that. Lol. Not my thing.

Kids 
Finding Nemo is one I would recommend if you don't have it already. Finding Dory just came out... and a lot of these kids were deprived of Finding Nemo, which is far far better than Finding Dory... so yeah. I would recommend Finding Nemo.

Also Lilo and Stitch. Along the same lines as Finding Nemo, its older... so its new to the kids and if you are a parent sick of hearing "Let it Go" over and over and over again... Lilo and Stitch isn't a musical! And the only music in it is Elvis or in Hawaiin! So it isn't as easy to sing along to! Especially if your kid loves animals and dogs... Stitch is a great movie.

And The Lego Movie. I think that can work for girls and boys and its pretty good... its a little weird... not totally my favorite, but its different and its on sale at Target right now I think. Plus The Lego Batman Movie is coming out soon... so it would be fun to see before that.

And Elf! I know its on all the time, but what a great movie!

Mom

This is a harder one for me to think of...

Me Before You. That's sad. I haven't seen the movie yet, I read most of the book... I didn't quite finish the ending because it was sad... but it might be good if your mom likes to read.

My mom really wants to see Straight Outta Compton... I don't think this is one that would be on everyone's Mom Gift Guide... but Maybe I'll get that for my mom. Lol.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. I love this movie! Its all about mother daughter relationships and I think a mom would like this one in particular!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot might be a good one too. My mom wants to see that still.

Dudes 
I've just kinda lumped "Dudes" into one category.

Daddy's Home might be good for a dad/baby daddy or husband... I've never seen the movie, its on sale though and I'm sure its a funny movie if you can relate to the situation.

Jurassic World is a good one. I haven't really seen the full movie... but its got Chris Pratt in it. I think dudes like him... and I know women like him... so yeah. You're welcome!

Furious 7... if he's into cars... might be a good one. I'm not a fast and furious person.

Home Alone... who doesn't love Home Alone? And that's not on as often as it used to be. Home alone 2 too! That was back when sequels were really good!

One For Anyone 
Jumanji! I think that's on sale too. It'd be good for kids because there's a sequel coming out soon... and if you take your kids to see the new Jumanji without seeing the original... you're parenting wrong and I'm calling social services.

Dudes and girls and moms love it too... so this is one I think would be good for anyone. I love this movie and would watch it any time. It's a good rainy day movie.

Alright... I think that's a good selection!

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...

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...
