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!

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...

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...

How To-sday: How To Arrange a Bookshelf

Ahhhh arranging a bookshelf. If you thought you knew how to do it you're probably wrong because I just did it wayyy better! 1) Use it For DVDs  I don't always keep a lot of my books... so many of my book shelves are really DVD shelves. So yeah. 2)  By Genre...  You ever think "Hey I'm in the mood for a horror Movie" and all you're finding is rom coms? Fear no more! Just arrange your dvds according to different genres. I have a section for Romantic Comedies/Chick Flicks, Horror and serious movies... on that shelf I also have my X Files DVDs and Tim Burton Movies because that fit there... One shelf I have cartoons, kids movies and holiday movies... one shelf is comedies, next shelf is TV... and I think that's it. 3) Give Wes Anderson Movies Their Own Shelf-  The only movie that didn't fit in my collection was The Royal Tenenbaums... Couldn't figure out where to put it... so it might get it's own shelf. Maybe I'll get other Wes Anders...
