Bridesmaids Diaries: Things To Do When Your Friends Just Get Engaged

So these aren't any super amazing tips or anything... but it might be something helpful and nice! You know this is going to be a great blog when I'm like "So these tips aren't super amazing" lol. There isn't a lot out there for when people just get engaged... and a lot of people don't have engagement parties or anything anymore... not sure if my friend is having one or not, she just happened to throw a party a day or 2 after she got engaged... so I wanted to do a few things.

First I was going to do this anyway... but I got her some fancy chocolates. These are a good gift for hosting parties, and I thought it would be something fun and a little different. Champagne is sort of the traditional gift... I thought somebody probably got them champagne already... so they might want some chocolates.

I also got an engagement cards... there were not many of these at the Hallmark store... so these might kind of be hard to find. There might be a blank inside type of card or stationary you could use... I got everyone at the party to sign the card because I thought that would be nice. Especially since there were so few engagement cards, it made sense to just have one for everyone. It was cute. It made them smile... so yeah.

And if you can offer any suggestions. If you've gotten married or if you were in a wedding and you can recommend a few things, that would probably be a great help. We were talking about venues and I knew of a restaurant that I thought they probably knew about too and I just said "ohh this place also has a wedding venue and it looked like people were having fun there. So yeah. Any little tips that you can tell them are helpful.

So yeah... that's pretty much it! Hope you guys liked this!

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...
