Weekly Update: 12/13/17

What I'm Watching 

I just did a TV Blog about all the great Christmas TV Shows... but I think my favorite was American Housewife! I'm also excited to watch Prep and Landing and especially Olaf's Frozen Adventure! I haven't seen that yet and I'm a little excited! My Nana's friend called her up when Frozen was on to let her know that Frozen was on... I thought that was cute. Nana loves Disney and Musicals... so I'm guessing she liked it... don't think she saw it all though.

Life in Pieces is also on tonight and it's another favorite of mine.

I'm trying to watch things that are on the trending page of youtube now... just to kind of see what's up... so I watched Youtubers react to Youtube Rewind, I added some to my watch later playlist too... I watched the Joe Biden clip from the view... I just kind of want to see what gets popular... I've taken a sudden interest in that...

I also have been loving Lisbug's channel where she's been "pregnant" for a day. I watched some of Shane Dawson's videos. He hired a child actor to be his son, he reconnected with his father, he did a "true crime" type of vlog... but not really. It was interesting. Shane was the first youtuber I ever subscribed too and I'm happy I still watch him today!

News 

Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in their biggest deal ever! Disney now owns Avatar, the X Men Franchise, the Original Star Wars Movies, Anastasia, The Simpsons, all of the Fox tv channels except for Fox News and the Sports Networks. They will also be a shareholder in Hulu or something like that... I don't know- pretty exciting though!

Some new people accused of sexual harassment: Jeremy Piven- who's awful TV show has been cancelled as a result. Mario Batali- who exited The Chew. Tavis Smiley who is a PBS talk show host that has been fired. More accusations against Dustin Hoffman. I don't know if this is new- but Ed Westwick.

Alabama has elected Doug Jones as their senator.

And... that's the big news of the week!

Food and Drink 

The Bantam Bagels at Starbucks... I just wanted a bagel so I thought I'd try that... I got the French Toast ones... really good. Might get these again soon!

Favorites 

I got The Hess Truck! I'm so excited about it! It reminds me of my grandfathers... so I wanted it! I love it!

The Emily Awards on EmilyNoel83's channel. Love watching these videos year after year... I love that some of her favorites have been the same through her whole youtube career. It's awesome!

Other Stuff 

I'm pretty excited for The Last Jedi coming out.... idk if I'll see it anytime soon... but I'm excited for it!

I know all the words to Be Our Guest and The Twelve Days of Christmas because of my niece! So that's amusing!

And that's about it! Hope you guys like this!

Byeee!

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
