Blogmas Day 9: Christmas Things in NJ

Sooo I thought I would just talk a little about what NJ has to offer for the holidays since I already mentioned New York and Disney.

First off if you're from the Jersey Shore and you don't want to go to New York for their holiday markets- Asbury Park has a holiday bazaar! I think it's open every weekend around Christmas... not 100% sure about that- but they did have it open the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was really nice. They had a photo booth, they had some nice jewelry and some bowties you could get for your dogs... which my friends got. The photo booth was super fun and not too pricey. They also gave us Hot Chocolate.

They have a nice tree and some shops around Convention Hall there. We went to the tree lighting and took some fun, festive pictures.

They also have a good production of Scrooge in Convention Hall. If you like musicals and you like A Christmas Carol- this is a great show to see!

Next up... Red Bank! I don't know if they do this all the time- but yesterday red bank had a horse and carriage ride that you could take... so that's festive and fun! They probably don't do this every weekend, but if you can find when they are doing it... that's pretty cool!

I went to Freehold Mall today... which is a good Christmas destination in itself if you don't mind crowds... but my mom passed a sign for an Ice Show... not sure of the exact address of this, but it's like right before the Volkswagon Dealership... and I think it's a show of different Ice Sculptures... so that is pretty cool.

There are a lot of great restaurants in the Jersey Shore... a lot of them have really nice decorations. Some of them offer platters or catering for the holidays too.

I think that's everything?There are probably more things that I'll review another time! Hope you guys like this and I'll see you tomorrow for something else! 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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
