Why I Love The Disney Store

So my local Disney Store is closing... and there are still going to be a couple opened nearby... but this is the one that I grew up with and it's special to me.

Here are some pictures of what The Disney Store looked like in the 90s...



So this isn't actually from the 90s based on some of the characters I see in there... but my store had a stuffed animal tower like this that I would always climb in... probably super unsanitary... but fun! Lol. 

They were filled with statues of the different Disney Characters... mostly the Fab 5... It looks like they have some other princesses in there too... and it was just a lot of fun. You could pre-order the videotapes and they would come with special toys or lithograph pictures or something. They also always had buttons that you could get when new movies came out. Even when I was a grown up I got one of my friends an Avengers Water Bottle because I knew that was her favorite movie and she used water bottles a lot... anyway they gave me a happy birthday button or sticker for her or something too... I remember it was really nice. And the people in the stores are always so helpful too that... they were really sales people... they would play into the "magical" theme of everything and honestly you really had to get something while you were there. It was kind of bad but also fun.

This was also the last real kids store in our mall...there are a few other places with some toys and kids clothes or books... but it isn't as fun as Disney Store! When I was working at this mall- it kind of helped the kids behave a little better if the moms said "Okay we can go to Disney Store after this!" and it was nice to kind of nice.

I also think one of my favorite places to go around the holidays is the Disney Store. They have really cute and clever decorations and mugs... I did get a mug recently that had a spot where you could keep your cookies. I also got some ornaments from there this year... it was just cute and a little different and more kid friendly than something like The Hallmark Store or something.

I'm a big Disney fan and it'll always make me a little sad now seeing the store empty. As of right now I don't know if anything will be in that store space. I'm guessing they'll put their Christmas stuff there around Christmas and maybe they'll keep seasonal stuff there. I don't know. I'm just pretty sad about it right now... and I'm going to try to get there a lot before it closes on Monday... which already happened by the time I'm posting this... but I'll try to maybe include a haul of things I get... I might not get a lot of stuff- but if I do I'll show you guys!

Bye!

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
