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!
-Shannon.

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...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

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...
