December 2016: It List

Here are my non-christmas favorites for December

1) The Hamilton Mixtape- Everyone knows Hamilton is my #1 Favorite for the year of 2016... but the Hamilton Mixtape is something so different and so good that I love it just as much and will probably end up listening to it as often as I listen to the Hamilton Soundtrack. It's a different take on the play... a lot of 2016 connections to hamilton, celebrity versions of the songs... even a few different takes on what happened during the play like "Say Yes To This" and "An Open Letter to John Adams." We even get some original versions of the songs that were on the mixtape before Lin realized he had a musical! It's such a good cd. If you aren't super into Hamilton, but you like Rap and pop... I would recommend listening to this. It's so good! I didn't even think I'd like it that much because I wasn't really in love with the Kelly Clarkson song on the pre-order... but I love it. It's definitely a favorite CD of mine.

2) Frozen- I've started liking Frozen a lot! I don't know why... I just really like it! I watched it in October with my friend for a second time... and I liked it then... and now I'm really into it! Good movie, especially in the Winter... Idk if I could watch it INNNNN SUMMMERRR!

3) Betsey Johnson- This will probably be in my yearly favorites as well. I got a few Betsey Johnson bags and jewelry for Christmas... It just makes me happy to look at. She has really cute style, she's quirky and her stuff just makes me happy. I got a Betsey Johnson Trolls bag... for myself for christmas and it's really tiny and I think it was meant for children... but its also super cute. I love it, it was on a good sale, so I'm just having fun with it... and yeah. Her bags go on sale a lot... so just keep a lookout for them! 

4) Scheduling/notebooking- So I got a little planner thing from Target recently. You can get planner paper and a binder to put it all in... I'm trying to get more organized in the New Year... that is usually my resolution... but it's something that I think will make me a happier and better person in 2017... so I'm really really going to try to stick with it... we'll see what happens. Lol. I think I'm going to hold you guys accountable for this because I do legitimately think it will make me a better person. 

5) Life in Pieces- This has been one of my favorite shows lately. I didn't like it at all when it first came out... I gave it a really bad review after watching the pilot... but now... I like it a lot! I think its gotten so much funnier... it's so silly. I don't even know who my favorite character is because they're all just sooo funny. Modern Family has gotten a lot better lately too... but this show is wayyy better than Modern Family... I love them both bit this is a little more relatable to me. Not sure why... its a really funny show though. I've been loving it... I could bingewatch this show all day. It's great! 

6) Starbucks Caramel Apple Cinnamon Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers- This is sort of a Christmas favorite... but also not really. I think its a Christmas special... but I ate it for the first time Christmas Night... and it is damn delicious. I've been eating 1 a night and its just a good little nighttime treat. It tastes so good... I just really love it! It's so good. 

7) A blank poster board- Ok Shan... you've lost your damn mind... lol. Not really... this has been making my Instagram life way easier. It makes a much prettier picture and it's just a nice way to kind of up your instagram game. I got mine from Dollar tree... you can get it wherever... but why not get it from Dollar Tree? 

8) Moana- I really liked this movie a lot! It was cute! I just thought it was fun. I think I saw this at the beginning of the month. I love the soundtrack too... Lin Manuel Miranda... it's just absolutely amazing! 

9) Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them- I saw this at the end of November... but I thought I would include it anyway because it's just a really good movie. I think it's because JK Rowling actually wrote it that it was just amazing. I went in with low expectations and I ended up thinking it was absolutely fantastic! Hahaha get it! I would like the book of it too... maybe I'll get that! 

Byeee!

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...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
