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 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

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
