Summer Bucket List: How'd I do?

Alright... so here is a list of my summer bucket list... and this is what I actually did!

DID I GO OUTSIDE? 

I was outside enough for my liking I think. I'm not an outdoors person- but I can go outside and appreciate it. I went in the pool a few times, I enjoyed any moments I had outside...but I didn't go outside for an hour every day because realistically I wouldn't like that and that is just sort of an idea I got from Prison. Lol.

DID I READ MORE??? 

Kinnnnnnddddd of. This is something I still need to work on. I'm in a book club now that is a minimum effort book club... so that's definitely something that won't be too hard to keep up with. I read a few kids graphic novels and I started some books... but I need to read some more and finish them. It is definitely something I want to read- as well as some other Stephen King books... he's interesting lol. I'm excited to read some spooky books in the fall.

DID I GO ON FAMILY ADVENTURES??? 

Yes! I went on a few adventures with my family and my niece. We did go to Point Pleasant for the first time with her, we did go to the County Fair and some parks and stuff. She's just the most fun person to be around... so everything with her is really exciting.

DID I BECOME A BETTER BLOGGER/ SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON??? 

Ehhh kind of I guess. This is something I need to allow more time for too. I have been posting a lot- but I haven't been advertising my posts. I haven't been active on youtube... and I just need to try a little bit harder.

AM I MORE INDEPENDENT? 

A little I guess. I got a new job and I feel like I'm kind of independent there... and I haven't been to the movies by myself or anything... but I'm a little more independent.

DID I TRY YOGA??? 
Not really. Ugh I need to be more motivated to work out!

DID I WRITE FICTION??? 

Ugh writing is hard. I need to do that too... so yeah. Something to work on. Reading more will probably help with that.

Anyway that's everything! Hope you guys like my bucket list even though I've accomplished little from it... lol.

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
