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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
