Hump Day Update: Weekly Favorites- Food, TV, Snacks and More! 9.27.17

What I'm Watching 

Netflix: 

I started watching Lady Gaga's new documentary Five Foot Two... I haven't finished it yet as of the time writing this... I started watching it at like 2 in the morning and I just haven't been able to finish since I wrote it. It's not a bad documentary- I actually think it's super interesting and I look forward to watching more of it... I just haven't been able to yet. They did it kind of like Grey Gardens.

I would also love to finish watching AHS Freakshow this week... it's almost off of Netflix... I want to do a Throwback Thursday on it tomorrow... so far I've only watched the first episode... so ugh... but I like this season... if I don't end up catching it all on Netflix I'll probably end up buying it and reviewing it eventually.

Regular TV 

I did watch all of the Monday Night shows on CBS... they had some great comedies. The Big Bang Theory was pretty good this week... I liked Young Sheldon a lot. I liked Me, Myself and I a lot more... I think these 2 new shows were the highlight of this comedy night. I did not like Kevin Can Wait- I think that since Erin Hayes was fired... it just isn't as good. I have a review of Young Sheldon up now... just posted it yesterday and I'll have a review of Me, Myself and I next week! If I had to recommend just one though- Me, Myself and I. I really liked it!

I also watched The Good Doctor... which I thought was good- I just don't find myself paying much attention to the "medical" part of medical shows... and this was pretty much all medical talk... so it wasn't my thing but Freddie Highmore is great in it and it really is an interesting show. Very well done in my opinion... I know they just had a special on real doctors that had Autism... I'm a little more interested in that now that I've seen the show.

I watched the premiere of This is Us... that was really great. It's been so long since the finale- but it felt like no time had passed... which is kind of awesome.

And American Horror Story Cult... this week was scary but there were a lot of pretty funny moments too... I liked that they showed the gym because the gym is almost a cult itself. Lol. I'll have a recap of that on Monday or Tuesday!

News 

Kit Harrington aka John Snow is engaged to his costar Rosie Leslie. The two played a dysfunctional couple... I guess you could say on Game of Thrones... so cute?

In other couple news, Phillipa Soo got married over the weekend to another broadway star and Idina Menzel married a broadway star also over the weekend... again... not sure who it is- he's also known for some Disney movies including the singing voice of Max in A Goofy Movie... so yeah. That's pretty cool.

Pit Bull sent a private jet to Puerto Rico to transfer cancer patients so that they can continue treatments. That's pretty awesome!

Food 

I just ate some pretty delicious Mac and Cheese.

I tried the Maple Pecan Latte from Starbucks... I'll have a review on that pretty soon- but it was really good!

I had some Pepperidge Farm Thin and Crispy chocolate chip cookies... those are pretty delicious.

Favorites 

I got some new clothes from Old Navy that I've been liking a lot! I've only worn a couple... they have longer shirts and dresses that I like to wear with leggings. They're comfy and cute.

The Iphone 8 is another new favorite! I just got it this week... the camera is pretty amazing! I'm really impressed with it! I would recommend getting it if you're wanting a new phone or if you're thinking about it.

My painting from Pinot's palette! If you haven't seen it yet, I posted it on my Weekly Wrap Up post... I love how it turned out. It's super pretty and fun and fall-ish.

Other Stuff 

Snapchat filters don't recognize glasses because the technology for the filters was originally used for pilots. This isn't true... but if you say it interestingly enough- people will believe you... so I did that a few times this week.

Anddd that's it!

Hope you guys like this!

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...
