It List! February 2017

1) Crazy Ex Girlfriend- I bingewatched the second season from my tivo in about a day... and it was really good! I think the first season was a little funnier... but I liked the second season so much that I actually went back and watched the first season again and now I'm watching season 2 again... even though I just watched it all... the CW is an awesome network to watch on netflix... highly recommend.

2) Jane The Virgin- Jane the Virgin is a very quick show... storylines happen and they're very dramatic and none of them ever really get solved but it's all very quick because it is a telenovela and it does follow that style... I'm guessing at least. American Soap Opera's are a lot slower than this... but this is all quite quick... I feel like Jane's relationship and marriage to Michael kind of slowed everything down a bit... and the stories were really cute and nice... but then... that storyline ended and now it's kind of back to being very quick and dramatic and they just did everything in a nice way. I really like it!

3) The Great Comet of 1812- After seeing Hamilton in January and re-watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend I realized I just really liked musicals... and this one is what I've been listening to a lot lately! I'm listening to the original off broadway musical cast because the Original Broadway cast recording is not released yet... I'm sure it will be... so Josh Groban isn't in what I'm listening too... but Philippa Soo is and that's awesome! If you look up the Comet of 1812... the venue is actually really cool. It was shown in a small dinner theater and the actors were running around the aisles and it made it almost interactive... I think the broadway version does that as well... but that must have been super cool to see!

4) A Dog's Purpose- I saw this movie and it was really really cute. I cried more than I cried in any movie ever... it was really good. I have a review on it somewhere on this blog... so I won't get too into it... but it's a good movie!

5) BLT LunchBreak Podcast- This is just a super funny podcast. I watch The Tim Tracker on youtube, he's in this podcast and it's just a really fun one! I like it a lot! It's just 3 friends catching up, talking about theme parks and dunkin donuts and other things... it's pretty cool!

6) Joanne by Lady Gaga- I love this cd! I'm seeing Lady Gaga pretty soon, so I've been listening to it in anticipation and excitement... but it is just a really really good one! I love it!

7) Dr. Teal's Relax and Refresh Eucalyptus Spearmint Soothing Bath Soak w/ Pure Epsom Salt- This smells really nice and it's just a very relaxing scent. I've really been loving it this month... I think I'm actually almost out... so that is a little bit upsetting... but it is a really really good bubble bath. Epsom Salts are supposed to be good if you have sores... I don't love bath salts... I prefer bubble bath... so this just works really well for me.

8) Daytime TV- I kind of like daytime tv... I like game shows a lot. The Price is Right and Let's Make A Deal are great... Millionaire is pretty good... I LOVE The Chew... Carla Hall is queen... and I've just sort of been watching it a little more. I've been at my sister's house a lot and usually The Chew, Millionaire and Right This Minute are on... so that's what we watch (along with the baby) and it's pretty good. It's something I think is worthy of a favorite this month.

9) Life in Pieces- This is always kind of a favorite on these It lists because I have it on a lot and it doesn't really get old. I don't get tired of it at least... it's a really funny show... I would recommend checking it out!

10) The Santa Clarita Diet- I forgot about this because I watched it all in one day... but it is a really great show and deserves to be mentioned on this It List! I really like it, highly recommend watching it... it isn't really that gory and it's just easy to watch all in one day. It's a little creepy... but it is a good one!

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...

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...
