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!

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...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
