Blogmas Day 3: How To-sday How to Make A Christmas Jar

I bet you're wondering what a Christmas Jar is... well you're in luck because today you're going to find out how to make one!

Here's what you'll need:

A Large Jar 
Christmasy Things to put in the jar. 

 I have a very large Apothecary Jar that I won in a "Guess The Candy Corn" Contest and I filled it with Ornaments of different sizes, "Snow" and jingle bells.

The first ornaments I got were from Target's Wondershop and I went with the Pink, Red, Silver and rose gold theme. I just got 2 of the $3 boxes... would have been enough for a regular sized apothecary jar maybe... but not enough for mine... so the next day I went to Dollar Tree and got 2 packs of large rose gold ornaments and 1 bag of jingle bells.

The snow from the stuffing of a little stuffed snowman that my dog got a hold of and put that in there too.

I arranged the ornaments so that it wasn't too much of the same type of ornament or the same color in every little thing. The jingle bells clumped together a little more but it still looked pretty good.

Overall... I'm really happy with how it turned out. I love looking at it and it's just a fun little christmasy thing to do!

Edit: I forgot to include a picture of the Christmas Jar! Lol.
I didn't fill it up to the top... I might get some more ornaments to match it and fill it up... but I'm happy with how it looks! 

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
