Throwback Thursday: Bad Moms Review

This is kind of a different Throwback Thursday... it isn't much of a Throwback either... this movie came out last summer- but I never saw it until recently. Still haven't finished Season 3 of Friends... and I've seen the first Despicable Me again recently and the Amazing Spider Man movies... but I kind of want to do those reviews a little differently... so Bad Moms!

I didn't just watch this movie either... so I've had a while to kind of think about it. I thought it was a really funny movie. I'm excited for A Bad Mom's Christmas because this is a movie I could watch again and again... it's just really good.

Let's talk about the leads of the movie: Kristin Bell, Mila Kunis and Katheryn Hahn... they all just worked amazingly together. They're all very funny women... I think Katheryn Hahn is better known for being in comedies... she isn't exactly a household name- but she's been in pretty much every movie! And I think they've all been in movies together... Kristin Bell and Mila Kunis were in Forgetting Sarah Marshall together and they had great chemistry. Katheryn Hahn did as well... they just really worked well together and it genuinely seemed like they had a really fun time with this movie!

The movie also went over kind of a lot for a movie... I could almost see this being a tv show. Some Spoilers Here: Mila Kunis finds out her husband is cheating on her, she stops caring about her job, she runs for PTA President or whatever, she befriends some of the other moms that also feel like just being bad moms, she has her relationship with the hot dad... it's a lot for one movie and it keeps you interested in everything. There's definitely a lot of stuff going on.

Christina Applegate was also really funny in this. She reminded me a little bit of her character on Friends... but more uptight. It was just very funny. She's wayyy funnier than she gets credit for. Anything I've seen her in, she's always been super funny. I'm probably most excited about her character in the sequel because she's a lot different at the end of the movie than at the beginning... so that I feel like gives a hint of the sequel maybe... maybe not... idk. I think she'll join the other 3 bad moms and party and cause trouble. Super interested in this sequel!

It was an R rated comedy... so it was pretty raunchy comedy... but still one that you could watch with your mom or sister and enjoy... I watched it with my mom- and there weren't that many awkward moments... so it didn't feel totally uncomfortable.

I also really loved the end credit scene where all the actresses had their moms come in and they talked to them. I thought that was really sweet and very funny. Those were really their moms and it was just a really good way to end the movie. I hope that they have them in the sequel talking about their Christmas traditions or something. It was pretty cool!

That is everything I have to say about this movie... hope you guys like this review! I recommend checking it out!

Byeee!

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...
