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!

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...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
