Weekly Wrap Up 4.2.17

Favorites 

Homemade mini planner thing- This is kind of a weird favorite… but still a favorite nonetheless. I’ll probably go over how I made this little planner in a How To-sday sometime soon… but basically I just have a small little block every day for to do lists… keeping track of my instagram page, my blogs and other things I’d like to do. Plus I’m trying to keep track of what I buy and… it’s just come in handy quite a bit! I’ve been really digging it, I can fit it in just about any purse I have and take it on the go to write in it. It’s really been useful to keep myself organzied. It’s pretty nifty! 

Nobodies- This is a great new show that I’ll have a post on in the near future… I don’t think I liked it as much as something like Trial and Error… which is still my favorite on right now… but it is better than something like Powerless or even Superstore… I like those shows a lot too… but this is just really funny. Kind of a dry humor… this one is a lot like Arrested Development… it’s very similar in tone. I just like it a lot. Highly recommend watching it! Lots of famous people. It’s on TV Land and created by Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone. It’s good! 

Divide by Ed Sheeran- Still loving this…  it’s been a favorite for a while. I have it as my random favorite on my other blog… but it’s really good I’ve listened to it all March basically… and I’m still not tired of it. It’s a really great cd! 

News And World Events 

A London Sculptor Sculpted a 45 Pound Cheese sculpture of Beyonce… there is a god. 

Beyonce is also the top pick to voice Nala in The Lion King… I’m skeptical about this one because it is so early and oftentimes early picks aren't necessarily what they go with. Also… she’s not really my choice. I would love it to be the Tony Award Winning actress Renee Ellise Goldsberry… I think I saw her on a Broadway tv show saying that she played Nala on Broadway and it was a very challenging role for her. She also played Angelica Schuyler… so Obviously I love her. But… yeah. Interesting. 


Noteworthy Snacks 

Cannoli Chips… those are good. And my neighbor got us really good fruit candies from Florida… it’s good. 

Oh and Dove Caramels. So so good! 

Music 

Ed Sheeran Strikes again! I’m going to go with Perfect this week! 

Quotes 

“Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight” - Perfect by Ed Sheeran 


Thoughts 
I got pretty organized this week with my instagram and blog… and it’s been helpful. It feels a little like it’s less work even though it kind of takes more time.

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...
