Weekly Wrap Up: 1/8/16

Ugh... I forgot about this this week! Sorry guys! Didn't think I'd have any favorites... but I think there are 5 things worth mentioning... so yeah. 

Favorites 
Baby Shower- So I was helping with my sister's baby shower this week... so it might not be a total favorite but it is what was on my mind pretty much all week and I just thought it was worth mentioning as a favorite.

Comedy Bang Bang- So happy I started listening to my podcasts again! Comedy Bang Bang and How Did This Get Made to be exact... but How Did This Get Made was just a mini episode so CBB was my favorite... and I loved it! It's so funny. I just like listening to it a lot!

Life In Pieces- This has been a favorite for a while that I never mention. Honestly, I have a horrible review on here of the first episode... and I stand by that review. It wasn't very original. The cast was good and it had funny moments... but it was no wheres near as clever and well-developed as it is now... and I really like that. It has improved a lot.

Oh Yeah Em- So a few months ago when I was on my Disney kick I mentioned a youtube channel called Oh Yeah Disney. It was an engaged couple, they have since gotten married and Emily now has a blog called Oh Yeah Em... and I love it! I just really like her style, I think she has a lot of fun posts and I like traveling and would love for this to be a travel blog... but I never travel anymore... so that won't happen. Lol. But anyway, I love her... and I think her blog is amazing! I will link it in the Clickables. Her pictures are awesome too, I think she takes some and her husband Scott is also a very talented photographer. I just really like her posts and will probably continue reading them as much as I can. Oh yeah Em is such a great and easy to remember name too! I love it!


Life Scribbles
I didn't do too much this week... wasn't feeling great after New Year's Eve... and then it kinda snowed and stuff... so other than the Baby Shower... didn't do too much!


TV Highlights 
Life in Pieces... I watched Mickey's House of Mouse Christmas and Return of the Jedi and a little bit of The Force awakens. 

Noteworthy Snacks 
The Oreo Candy Bar was pretty dang amazing.

Soooo much good food at the shower! Honey Cakes, "Haycorns" made out of Nilla Wafers and chocolate... so many good things! 

News and World Events 

Mariah Carey made headlines this New Year's Eve when she.... performed(?) at the New Year's Rockin' Eve Special... The music was synced up right and she just sort of stayed there pouting, she still danced and reached out to the crowd... but she was not havin' it at all! I heard there was no sound check before and that is why things went awry... Mariah Carey is a smart woman. I don't think she was just having a drunken meltdown. I think she was legitimately mad that it all went wrong. I would be pissed too if I were her! She doesn't do many live performances... She has a very strong voice... and... well it just sounds better if she lip syncs probably. I don't want to totally blame the New Year's Rockin Eve show... I'm thinking everything was kind of unplanned and it seemed people enjoyed themselves anyway... and Mariah looked totally totally gorgeous... although she looked kind of naked except for the glitters. Like I said, she's a smart woman... I don't totally think this was her fault.

One of the weirder more interesting stories of the week was that a woman is suing to have her name removed from google because her ex posted "revenge porn" with her in it... I don't know whether it was a sex tape or pictures... It's not going to happen. If it did, her name would never be allowed to be on google again. So if her name was something like Mary... all references to anyone named Mary would have to be removed. The reports said that it is a unique 4 letter name... so it probably isn't Mary, her identity was not revealed... odd choice to go straight to google. Maybe there need to be stricter laws about sex tapes and sexy pictures... maybe there don't and people just have to use common sense and decency about it. Weird world. I have no advice on this and no real thoughts... Be careful with your personal business?

That Trump guy did stuff maybe? I had a dream that that super young, really pretty republican girl Tommi whatever... I haven't heard her talk but my friends with similar political views don't like her very much... so I've avoided her for that reason... lol. Anyway I had a dream that there was a democrat version of her too and that they were going to battle... and it wasn't really specific what the battle was going to be... but it wasn't a debate. I think it was probably a rap battle... but yeah.

Music 
I listened to Watsky's newest album because I've had his song from the Hamilton Soundtrack stuck in my head forever and I really liked it. It took me a while to realize what Going Down was about... I just heard him say "Kimmy Schmidt" and I was like "That's My JAM!" And then I listened to the rest of that and I think there will be a whole different blog about that... but that'll come later... so stay tuned? Lol.

Thoughts 
Sometimes you forget to do things until 25 minutes after the last minute... like this blog right now... not even the 8th anymore for me... but yeah I really think this blog turned out pretty well. Hope you guys like it!

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...
