Missed the movie... but had some fun shopping.

Ugh I keep meaning to write first thing in the morning... and I just haven't been waking up that early. Normally I'm up pretty early... but I've been cleaning up my room late at night... and I was just kind of exhausted today... so that didn't happen.

Another thing that didn't happen: Going to see Coco! My mom and I tried to get there early to see the 2:30 showing of Coco- but it was sold out when we went there! So we went shopping again...

But to go shopping... we had to pass the Food Court... not usually a bad thing- but it smelled TERRIBLE. I don't know what it could have been... it was near a Bananas and a Green Leaf- which sometimes smell terrible... and there were a couple of new places in that food court... I'm not eating there again though because it just smelled HORRIBLE!

We did get some Christmas sale deals at Hallmark, Disney Store and I got some $3 Wallflowers from Bath and Body Works. I also got some things from Forever 21... I usually kind of knock Forever 21... but I was looking for something specific to go with a Velvet Jumpsuit that I plan to wear for New Years Eve. The Jumpsuit is really pretty... but it needed like a jacket or something with it... so first I saw a velvet jacket that I kind of liked... and I thought I would wear that anyway so I still ended up getting it... but what I got to go with the jumpsuit is a Furry Vest! I've been wanting a furry vest since Scream Queens was on... and now I have one! Which I'm excited for! It looks really cool with the jumpsuit and the woman at Forever 21 really liked the way it sounded too. She said it has a Janis Joplin vibe... she didn't see the Jumpsuit but... I'm excited about this outfit and I was happy I asked her about it.

I also got a pair of earrings and a choker that went well with the outfit too... I already had a bag and shoes that go perfectly and the woman from Forever 21 seemed to like the idea of a pair of sunglasses with them... and i have a pair of blingy sunglasses- so I like that idea too. The whole outfit is pretty cool... you can check out an OOTD on my beauty blog on New Years Eve... but it's cute! I'm happy with everything I picked out.

I felt like I was more brave asking for help at Forever 21 because I've been watching Safiya Nygaard on youtube and yesterday I watched a video where she asked strangers to pick out her outfit... and I just thought that was kind of cool... so this Forever 21 lady helped shape my outfit idea... and that was kind of cool. Got me out of my comfort zone and it helped me pick out some items to get a look together!

So that was kind of cool... then I went out to dinner with my parents and then went to get Coffee and I got some drugstore makeup! My mom got me a gift card for $25 at the drugstore... plus I had a $10 off $30 gift card... still the drugstore is pretty darn expensive!  I used the giftcard- then some and I only got 4 things lol. Makeup is expensive! But fun!

Forever 21 was expensive too... I was kind of surprised but I did get 2 jackets and 2 pieces of jewelry... so I guess it's not that bad... but still... slightly surprised... but not disappointed.

Anyway... now I'm watching Modern Family and I think I'm going to get back to cleaning soon... so yeah!

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...
