Blogmas Day 5: Christmas Season Bucket List!

I did one of these for the summer... and I kind of failed that bucket list... so hopefully I'll do a little bit better with this one!

1) Give Gifts- I mean this is something I pretty much always do... but my parents usually just buy their gifts for themselves that are things I would pick out for them. This year I want to actually get them stuff they'll use and love because I have a job now... so I can get them stuff on my own!

2) Decorate My Room- I really want my room to be kind of decorated for Christmas. Right now my room is kind of a mess... but I think I could decorate it and it would look super cute. I just watched a few online DIY videos and things like that... so I kind of want to decorate it!

3) Craft- I work right next to a craft store right now... so I feel like that's going to make it a little more fun for me to be able to craft and decorate things for myself. I really want to make cards for everyone... I think that can be really fun and I just want to get better at crafting.

4) See Christmas Decorations in New York- I might have done this by the time I'm writing this blog... but as of writing this I'm going to see Santa at Macy's again with my parents, sister, niece, brother in law and his family... and I also want to see the decorations with my boyfriend. I'd like to see the window displays and everything and... I just think we'll have a fun time and it'll be really pretty and it's a cute date idea.

5) Decorate My Christmas Tree- One thing I really love about Christmas is decorating the Christmas Tree... actually this is one of the only things I really take seriously in life... so I need to decorate!!! We have a lot of ornaments- they all have memories with them too... and I just really love decorating my tree!

6) Have A Cozy Day Watching Christmas Movies- I usually watch Christmas Movies while decorating- but I think it might be kind of fun to just watch them on my day off or a day when I get home from work early... and I'll just have a nice cozy day!

7) Cook Something!- I sort of want to actually cook something for myself during the holidays... I'm not sure why- but my sister got my parents an Instant Pot last year... they don't use it a lot but I think I can use it and maybe make myself some soup to bring to work or something.

8) Bake Cookies- So I also want to bake some cookies for the holidays... I'm not sure what exactly I'll make... but I would kind of like to bake some cookies. I feel like that might be fun!

9) Go to an Ugly Sweater Party- My friend has an Ugly Sweater Party every year... I'm excited to go to it this year. I have a new ugly sweater dress... I think it'll be cute.

10) Vlogmas- Last year I posted on my youtube channel every day during december. I haven't posted on youtube in months... but I would really like to start it up again and I think Vlogmas might be a fun thing to do... it might just be beauty videos- maybe I'll have some actual vlogs... but I think I want to have something up Daily in December!

That is everything! I hope you guys like this list! I'll update you guys after the season to let you know what I did... or I'll do posts about the things themselves!

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...

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
