Book Haul! What I want to Read/ What I'm reading.

I've done a few book hauls in the past and honestly... I haven't read those books yet! But still- that doesn't stop me from being interested in new books and ordering a few more from the Barnes and Noble website... buying some at Target and other places.

So first is a book I bought back when I went to New York City with my boyfriend... you can read more about that right here... but we went to Kinokuniya which is a really big book store with basically any Manga you could ever want to read in it... plus a lot of other really cool things... anyway I found this book called Pure Skin: Discover the Japanese Ritual of Glowing by Victoria Tsai and I knew I wanted to get the book. I want to know more about skincare and I thought this is probably the best way of finding out. Plus as a beauty blogger and a vlogger- I thought this would be useful and fun to review.

Another slightly more of a beauty/lifestyle book that I got for myself was Queer Eye: Love Yourself. Love Your Life.  So this book was one I definitely wanted because I love the show Queer Eye, and even just looking at pictures of the very handsome Fab 5 is worth the price of the book. Lol just kidding, I love all their personalities and I know I can find great advice on so many different things from this book. I might do a little bit of a review on that on my beauty blog too.

Another sort of coffee table book that I wanted and found at Target was Inside Black Mirror  by Charlie Brooker, Annabel Jones with Jason Arnopp. So I've blogged a lot about Black Mirror- I love it and I needed to have an inside look at it. I think the creators of this show are just so clever- I'd totally like to know all the details about every episode and you know I'm going to watch it again while reading this book... probably after the new season comes out maybe.

Also I got Dumplin by Julie Murphy at Target. I wanted to read this before the movie came out and now that the movie is out I really want to see that... so I'm going to read the movie too. It looks cute I'm excited to watch it and read it. I think I'm going to try to read Crazy Rich Asians maybe during my breaks at work... but then I'm going to move on to this I think. I don't know I just get kind of bored on my breaks and I want something more entertaining to do at lunch than just look at my phone or shop somewhere.

I also thought I placed an order from Barnes and Noble... but apparently I didn't? I'll have to go in store and buy some things maybe because that was my whole inspiration for this blog lol. So maybe this is part one of this blog? I have a Target Gift Card too... so that might go towards books... it might go towards something bigger... but still.

Bye!

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
