Hump Day Update: Favorites, News,TV, Food, and More!

Alright... so I'm kind of reviving the old format of the Weekly Wrap Up... but I wanted to kind of revive it!

What I'm Watching! 

Netflix: I'm almost done watching American Horror Story Hotel. Netflix is getting rid of this season in October- so if you like it- haven't seen it yet or want to watch it again- NOW IS THE TIME! I'll have a Throwback Thursday on that tomorrow I hope!

Youtube: I've been really looking forward to The Tim Tracker's Vlogs lately. He and his wife do a lot of spooky fun halloween things. They stayed at Universal recently and have some videos up of their stay there and their Halloween Horror Nights adventures. I don't live in Florida and don't go to theme parks often at all... but this makes me feel like I'm there and I'm pretty happy about it!

Also Justin Scarred is always a favorite. He did a video at Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights- which looks so scary! At Hollywood you can actually see inside the houses... they allow some youtubers to show clips of some of the houses- but in the Hollywood ones you can see the full thing and it's pretty awesome!

I watched a Dreams Unlimited podcast about Disneyland Questions and Answers last night too... and I really liked it oddly enough. Not odd in its a bad podcast, but it was more informative for planning a vacation and I'm not really doing that... so yeah. Doesn't really make sense that I'm watching it... but I still like it and I was cleaning my room and wanted something in the backround.

I also found an old episode of Duck Tales on Youtube that I had on video tape... I got the tape at a garage sale and I've been looking for it on youtube since then. Not 100% sure it's legal... but it hasn't been taken down so idk. If Duck Tales comes out on DVD I'll totally buy it because I still love it... but yeah. If you want a more updated, better quality Ducktales fix... the first episode of the Revival of Duck Tales is on Disney's youtube channel right now. I watched half of it last night- then I clicked a different video by mistake and just didn't go back to watching it... either way- great show and I'd recommend checking it out!

So those were the most notable!

Regular TV: I'm so happy my morning entertainment is all new now... after a long summer of game show re-runs. Hot Bench, Let's Make a Deal and The Price is Right are all back and I'm loving them! They're so fun. Lol.

I'm also still watching American Horror Story... I'm writing this on Tuesday before the episode aired... so idk what happens yet... but I'm sure it's scary.

Will and Grace reruns are a must for me right now... I just love Will and Grace... Idk what else to say. I watch these before bed usually.

News 

Mexico had a major earthquake that destroyed a lot of buildings. It was on the anniversary of another bad earthquake for them... so Mexico is in my thoughts right now.

A fourth Powerpuff girl has been added to the mix and she looks awesome!

Her name is Bliss and she looks super super cool... but instead of Chemical X being added to the mix- Bliss accidentally got Chemical W- which makes her unable to control her powers.... and in fact she used to be friends with the very evil Mojo Jojo! So I wonder what she'll bring to the trio... I think she's pretty awesome... and I actually want to see it. The episode Power of Four is available now on Cartoon Network's Ap... I'm wondering if it's on their youtube or on Demand too... cause that'd be pretty darn cool!

Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy... which is so sad. They will keep stores open at least- so that's good. I went over the weekend actually and we have such a nice Toys R Us... there's an American Girl store in there and a Claire's... so it's a really nice place to shop... I hope it stays open.

Food! 
On Saturday I went to a really nice restaurant with my parents... I will have a review on that... maybe this Saturday... but that was some good food for this week.

I've been snacking on some halloween candy already... I just had a small pack of Sour Patch Kids Watermelon... those are amazing. They also have Caramel Apple Milky Ways... which are delicious and I don't know if I really want to say the last one because it is such a hidden gem... but Target has tiny Dove Candy Bars and those are quite amazing. So... yeah. I highly recommend all of those.

Also the Pumpkin Madelines from Starbucks... just so delicious! If you like the pumpkin scones- you're going to love these!

And Polly O String Cheese because... why not? Lol.

Favorites 

On Friday I actually filmed quite a few videos for my youtube... and I just liked doing that. I love coming up with video ideas and then filming them and I like editing... so that's just been a lot of fun. I want to film more now... but idk what else to film right now lol. I think I'll do some reviews.

I have a slight obsession with Lularoe leggings... they're so comfy... I actually won a gift card that I just spent... I'll have that in the Weekly Wrap Up about how I won that... but I'm excited.

I've been liking bullet journaling... maybe next week I'll do one on camera or something... or maybe I'll film that tonight. It's kind of hard to film at night because I don't want to be so loud I'll wake someone up... but I like filming and I like Bullet Journaling and that seems like something that needs to happen.

And I've been using the Lavender Foam Bath from Dr. Teals in the bath... ohhh my goodness! Love it! It's so relaxing and it helps me think more creatively... so I like that a lot!

Ohhh and I went to Costco yesterday... that store is just kind of incredible... so that's on the favorites list as well.

Other Stuff!!! 

I woke up early today in a good mood... and I think I felt better rested because of a combo of the Dr. Teals, the fact that I cleaned a little before bed last night and the fact that the Duck Tales song was stuck in my head. It just felt like it was going to be an amazing day... and so far it's been pretty good.

I watched sesame street with my niece and Chris was telling a story to Elmo, Rosie... and the guy that looks like Elmo but is no relation about a robot that liked to help... and he said he wished he had a robot that could help at his store... so Elmo and friends dressed as Robots and tried to help him but ended up making a mess... that's the story of my life. Chris also said he thought maybe they would help him better if he needed help with the Alphabet or something... so whenever someone asks me for help I'm going to say I'm better at helping out with things like The Alphabet. Lol.

That is pretty much everything! Hope you guys like this new format of an old blog... on a different day... I'm kind of liking it on Wednesday so... yeah!

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...
