Weekly Update 12/28/17

I forgot to post this yesterday... so how about this instead of a personal blog? I feel like my personal blogs aren't really going anywhere... lol.

What I'm Watching

Everything is pretty much a repeat this week... but I did watch Safiya Nygaard on youtube a lot... I just love her channel. I think she has some really creative and good quality videos and I'm really a fan of hers! I've been watching sooo many videos of hers it's great!


News 
So I wanted to look up what news happened this week... and I found a bunch of misleading news articles saying "Meghan Markle's sister is NOT happy with Prince Harry" or "Samantha Markle Slams Prince Harry." When really I don't think anyone was slamming anyone. Prince Harry described Meghan Markle being in the royal family as "a family she's never had." and Markle's half sister Samantha responded saying "Actually she's from a big family that's never been anything but nice and welcoming to her. You can read about it in my book 'Princess Pushy's Sister.'" So... I mean she's getting advertisement for her book out there... but I don't really think Harry meant that her family was unkind to her... I think he meant more that this is more family that she's obviously never had before... it's nice to have more family... I don't know. I also don't really think you can say that's a "slam" against Prince Harry... it wasn't even against what he says- it was just a clarification.

In more controversial news Claire's is pulling makeup off their shelves after claims of asbestos. Honestly... don't buy kids makeup from a kids store. It happened at Justice and this is something that I think will continue to happen... so it just shouldn't be something to get. I would recommend the train cases of makeup from Ulta. I had a small train case from Victoria Secret as a kid... and I never even really used the makeup in it... I just played with the train case. I don't think their train cases are the best quality from Ulta... but they are fun to play with and that's all I think you really need.

Food and Drink 

I've been in a horrible habit where I clean my room late at night... and I've been getting some late night snacks while I do that... which is also bad for you but I like it. I've been liking a bottle of regular soda and some sort of chip. I would really like some funyons... we're out of those so I've been going for Cheetos or Barbeque Frito Twists.

Favorites 

Sooo I've been staying up late... bingewatching Safiya Nygaard's youtube videos and cleaning my room. I like to try to have everything cleaned up for New Years because there are so many New Year's superstitions I'd just like to start the year off in a nice, clean, organized place that's my style... so I kind of don't like cleaning it late at night but that's just when I end up doing stuff and it seems to work... so we're rolling with that.

I also really like that The X Files is coming back... if I didn't mention that and that I'm in love with Fox Mulder I feel like I would be missing out on something.

Also... love Han Solo! I don't know why suddenly I'm like "YES HAN SOLO" I think it might be because of Fox Mulder being back in my life... the two of them aren't dissimilar... but yeah. That's pretty cool.

Also the Hallmark Store and The Disney Store... half off Christmas things FTW!

Other Stuff 
I'm just tired... and happy... and tired.

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...
