Weekly Wrap Up 2.12.17


Favorites 

Jane The Virgin- I started this week out with watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend again... but then with the twist on Jane The Virgin I decided to watch that again... I think I'm going to do Throwback Thursdays on both of them because there's stuff I noticed and basically... everything leads up to the twist that just happened. Same with Crazy Ex Girlfriend... which is next on my list... it's just a great show. 

Crazy Ex Girlfriend- So I just caught up to what is probably the best episode of the series: "That Text Wasn't meant for Josh." Maybe I'll do a Top 5 favorite episodes of this too because this is just a great show. I'm so excited for next season... there was a lot in the first season that sort of hinted at Rebecca's past. 



News and World Events

George Clooney and his wife Amal just announced that they are expecting Twins! They will join Beyonce's twins in being super awesome twins of famous people! Congratulations to them! 

Betsey Devos tweeted that she did her job for a day and asked where the pencils are! People tweeted her back saying "We pay for pencils ourselves... get your own!" So... she was just kind of asking people to troll her. 

Nordstrom and TJ Maxx both dropped the Ivonka Trump line from their stores. Trump's campaign manager gave an illegal-ish plug to the brand and was confronted about that because... it is illegal-ish. Just either way... I don't necessarily think "Ohhh we need to buy Ivonka Trump to show our support" or "Ohhh I need to buy from Nordstrom to show my support." Make much sense. Just buy whatever you want. If you had something that you wanted from Nordstrom or from Ivonka's brand... buy it? I don't exactly think Nordstrom or Ivonka is struggling... so just buy whatever the heck you want! I do like the insurgence of celebrity tweets about what they're buying at Nordstrom... mostly because I like to see what they're buying and it's adorable that Kristin Davis is buying shoes from the SJP line. Plus the Chelsea Handler picture with the Muslim Man and the Gay man in front of the white house with Nordstrom bags... I'm not really a fan of Chelsea Handler... but that's kind of cool to see. 

Tv Highlights 
Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex Girlfriend of corse. 

How to Get Away With Murder is just a little too late for me to really pay attention too... ugh idk why my attention span is so short with TV now... but I can't pay attention to Superstore, Powerless, Life in Pieces and then How To Get Away With Murder... and maybe Scandal. I really like Scandal... but I prefer Life in Pieces. Idk lol. 

The Goldbergs and the ABC shows were all new... I missed the Tuesday ones I think... but the rest were all good! 

Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown was on and really cute and good. The newer one that they showed after the original cartoon was very badly animated though. Charlie just looked different and... it just wasn't very good. 


Noteworthy Snacks 
I ate a lot of leftover Chili from the Superbowl. 

I also had Pizza rolls that were really good... Devil Dogs and things like that were all good this week. We found Oatmeal Cookies with Icing from a few months ago... it's just all good! 


Music
I've been singing the Eliza songs from Hamilton all week! I wrote a blog about it... and I just like the songs. I sing along to them too and I just really like them. Burn was particularly powerful to watch performed live... it was just really good. 


Quotes
"If somebody talks about you behind your back, just fart." something I saw on instagram. 

Thoughts 
Sometimes you need to re-watch tv shows to get all the little details... that probably isn't the best life advice ever... but that's what I've got! 



Byeee!

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...

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...
