10 Sick Day Essentials (1.27.18)

Sooo... here are some things I would recommend doing/using/ eating/ drinking when you're not feeling your best.

1. Vicks Vapo Rub- Oooo my goodness... Vicks. This is just kind of amazing. I put it on and immediately I felt my sinuses clearing a little bit from the smell... it was just very nice and I just like using it. If you have headaches or migraines... this is probably also helpful! I like using it and taking a hot shower... it's just really nice!

2. Baths/Showers- This was the most fun thing I could do most of the time when I was sick... so I took advantage of that and took a few baths. I think if you take a hot shower- its supposed to feel good for sinuses/sore throats... but I didn't really feel like standing... so I liked baths... it was just kind of nice to sit in there. It felt nice and warm... which was good because I had chills... it was just really nice.

3. Blankets- You need some sleep. Make sure to be nice and warm with some blankets! My favorite are the sherpa blankets from Costco!

4. Netflix- Netflix is a must! This week I ended up watching Black Mirror... not the best thing to watch while sick...but still pretty interesting... and I watched Arrested Development... which is my favorite show of all time... so I had some good times with Netflix this week!

5. Youtube- I didn't feel that good for most of the week... but when I did and I wasn't on Netflix... I watched what I could of youtube... and that included Shane Dawson's Ghost Hunting Videos... which was just pretty cool.

6. Crackers- Crackers are really good when you're sick. On Tuesday that's pretty much all I had to eat... I would have some crackers and then water and then I would take my advil. I think that helped me from getting dehydrated.

7. Ginger Ale- So water is important... but on Wednesday... Ginger Ale ended up working better for me than Water... so I drank a lot of Ginger Ale... it was delicious. I really liked it.

8. Medicine- Medicine always helps. I used Ibuprofen and the generic Wallgreens version of Sudafed for the most part... but whatever medicine you need... use the medicine.

9. Cinnamon Toast- This is delicious when you're sick and feeling a little better. This was what I had for dinner on Wednesday... so good.

10. Sleep- Did I mention sleep? I had trouble sleeping at night for the most part this week because I had been sleeping all day... but sleep is still very important and I was happy to get a full night of sleep last night with the medicine I took. I just think it helps.

Byeee! Hope this was helpful! Wash your hands!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
