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!

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...

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...
