Weekly Wrap Up 5.7.17

Favorites 

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert- I just decided to watch this show again this week… it seems like a good time lol. It’s really funny. Sometimes I’d rather watch Netflix or youtube or something like that instead of late night talk shows… but I sort of like having a daily routine at night… and Colbert and James Corden are part of it! 

Pixar Music- I have a good cry over a lot of pixar music… that’s just been a thing I’ve been doing lately… and you’ll see some linked in the clickables… it’s a nice thing to have on in the background while writing. 

Grace and Frankie- This was more of a favorite last week… but I finished it up this week… didn’t love this season tbh… but it was there. It was pretty funny… I’ll have a review soon! I think in a few days actually!  


News And World Events 

Jimmy Kimmel surprised his viewers… and the rest of the world with a very serious monologue about his Son’s healthcare needs. His son was born with a heart defect and needed to have surgery for it…he and his wife were very scared and now they’re just so happy that their little boy is alive and healthy. He also said that his heart breaks for the men and women that have to decide now if they can afford to save their child’s life… it is a very sad world that we live in unfortunately… and I hope his message is heard. 

Twin Sisters both gave birth to baby boys on the same day, just hours apart… and I’m assuming at the same hospital? It was not planned, but the family looks very happy with their newest additions… and what an amazing story! 

The Met Gala was this week. There is a strict No Selfie rule, but Kylie Jenner got a group of her friends together and took a mirror picture of the event. It’s always fun to see the crazy and elaborate dresses and suits. Katy Perry was the co host of the event this year… I believe Ana Wintour hosts it every year. J.Lo wore a really pretty blue dress… I love seeing all the fashion of it. I probably won’t do a blog post about the fashion of it… but it’s something I just like doing. 

The Tony Nominees were announced this week! Dear Evan Hansen and Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 seem to be early favorites so far. I really like the music of both of those… the Broadway version of The Great Comet hasn’t been released yet and I haven’t listened to all of Dear Evan Hansen… but both look like amazing shows. 

Kelly Ripa announced her new Co Host… Ryan Seacrest! Not a big surprise there… other than that he had to move to NY to do it! 

Noteworthy Snacks 
The Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cheesecake dessert things. These are good… I’ll have more on them in an upcoming Scribbles About Food. 

PF Changs… it didn’t reheat well… I think I already have a Scribbles About Food on that, which I’ll link in the clickables! 

Caramel M&Ms… ohhh boy! These are great! I recommend them… I have a Scribbles About Food on these coming soon! 


Music 
Married Life from Up… just listen to it with tissues… I beg of you! I’ll link it in the clickables… it is the most beautiful and heartbreaking song of all time. 

Quotes 
“That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most!” - Russell from Up 


Thoughts 

If you think “Ohhh hey, everything is totally normal.” Something weird will happen.

Soul Love- David Bowie

Married Life from Up

I wanted a link for this... but really it's just easier to post! I'm excited for this one!!!! 


Byeeee!

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...
