Weekly Wrap Up 4.9.17

Chobani Flips Cinnabun Fun- I’ve been loving Chobani Flips lately… this one is by far the best! I really like it! I’ve been doing reviews of the Chobani Flips on my Instagram, @shannonsface- so you could check out what I think of some other Chobani Flips There… maybe I’ll do a ranking or something!

Planning Videos and Instagrams- I’ve been randomly obsessed with planners for the past few days… idk if I’ll become a planner person and actually invest in all the cutesy planner things… I don’t have too much to plan and I’m not a big fan of craft stores… but they do have Hamilton ones… which makes me want it lol. My favorite people to watch on youtube are Leslie Johnson and Zoreen’s Designs… I’ll link their channels below!

News and World Events

Actor Don Rickles passed away… for me I know him best as Mr. Potato Head… which believe it or not- he was actually nominated for an Emmy for playing… which is impressive. He also had a sandwich platter named after him… which is pretty cool as well!

The cutest news this week was a little girl who went to a doll shop and chose a doll that had a different skin color than she did… the girl was white the doll was black… but the little girl didn’t see that! When asked if she wanted a doll that looked more like her she said she did look like her! The doll was a doctor and she was a doctor (wanted to be a doctor) and the doll was pretty like she’s pretty! So that is great! If I can find the exact story I’ll try to put it in the Clickables!

Noteworthy Snacks

Have I mentioned my obsession with Chobani Flips? The S’mores Flavor is great too… but the Cinnabun fun is the best!

Dove Truffle Eggs… get them. They are chocolate and they are amazing!

Music

This is going to surprise you… The Hamilton Soundtrack. I was singing Alexander Hamilton earlier… and I started listening to it again… you really cannot beat it!

Quotes

“Hamilton wrote the Other 51!”

Thoughts

Just do what makes you happy… I think I’m going to try writing more Blog posts that just make me happy!

Everything is Awesome! - had this stuck in my head this week!

Build A Burrito and We’ll Tell You What Disney Character is Your Soulmate - I got Anna! I picked out basically the most unhealthy burrito possible... I think Anna is the girl for that and we could probably be BFFs!

Zoreen’s Designs - She's super good and super nice. She does a lot of DIY's and she does a Dollar Tree Haul once a week!

Leslie Johnson - She's also super nice and does Plan With Me's once a week and a lot of planner unboxings, hauls and other things throughout the week. She just had a huge planner haul that was awesome!

Facebook Post of the mother of the girl who picked out a beautiful new doll

NBC’s story about the post - I wanted to post both of these stories because the NBC story sounded very much against the Target employee that waited on the girl with the doll... and I just wanted to show the real story first... but still linked this in case anyone didn't have Facebook and the Facebook post didn't work... the Target employee should have minded her business IMHO... the girl and the mom were super happy!

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...
