How To-sday Checklist: How To Ring In The New Year

Sooo I thought this would be a fun How-Tosday...I'll talk about what to do to ring In The New Year... and what I've done wrong so far... it's just fun!

Get a Fabulous Outfit... Check! 
Ahhh my New Year's Eve Outfit! So cute! I did a whole blog on it right here and a shorter blog here. I didn't end up wearing this because it was too cold to go out on New Year's Eve... but still I got the outfit and I will wear it sometime!

Make Resolutions... Check! 
Ahhh yes the resolutions! I did that and it was pretty fun! I think maybe I made too many resolutions and I won't actually be able to fulfill them... but I'm going to try to do at least one of them... I think it will be mastering the skills of the Jedi!

Watch The Ball Drop... Check! 
I watched it on TV... it looks crazy to see it in person and I don't think I'd ever really want to do that. Definitely not on my Bucket List lol. If they did it somewhere warm- maybe I would try it... but not in Times Square. I do watch it on TV. I didn't keep the whole show on because Minions was on the Fx Movie Network... and then it was on a second time so I watched it again because I liked it so much...but I saw the ball drop. I was good.

Someone I follow on Instagram livestreamed them watching the ball drop on TV... that's excessive.

Drink Champagne! Nope :) 
I do like Champagne... I didn't drink anything for New Year's... it was a little chilly and I wasn't really doing anything- so I didn't want to drink... I ate a lot though!

Eat Black Eyed Peas... Check! 
Black Eyed Peas are supposed to bring wealth in the new future. My sister always makes something called "Money Salad" which is a really good bean salad with black eyed peas, cilantro, onions, cucumbers... and other things... it's a popular New Year's Side Dish... so I was happy to have it!

Don't Buy Anything On New Year's Day... Technically Nope... 
So... while I did technically buy something on New Year's Day... I didn't receive the thing I'm getting yet... so I'm going to count it as I didn't buy anything... but I kind of did. It was the last day I could buy a wine painting party reservation... so that's what I did. Sooo... idk it kind of counts. You're not supposed to buy anything because you'll be buying something the whole year. So I can't count this as a check for not buying anything... but I'm going to say it probably isn't bad luck!

Bring Something In... Technically yes? 
We like to bring something in the first time you go outside in the New Year so you'll be bringing things in all year. Technically... I brought in Starbucks... I'm going to count that...and I think as long as I save the cup or the sleeve... it counts!

Soooo I think that's it! I hope you guys like How To-sday cause it's coming back!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
