Summer Must Haves (So Far)

Hey guys! So I thought I'd talk about some things I've been loving this summer so far... and some things I'm excited for!

MUST EAT/DRINK 

So lately I've been really into Orange Juice of all things! I was kind of sick a few weeks ago and I wanted some orange juice- which my dad always likes when he's sick... and since then I've been having like a glass a day.

I've also been loving Frutta Bowls lately. They do different Acai and Pitaya Bowls. These types of fruit bowl places have been popular for a few years... it's basically like a chipotle concept but with fruit. You can create your own bowl with all sorts of things inside... or they have a few pre-chosen menu items. I've been getting the one called the Frutta Bowl lately- which has Acai, Honey, Peanut Butter, Nutella, Strawberry, Kiwi, Pineapples and Coconut flakes. It all tastes sooo good together in the bowl. They also put granola in there too... so it's just all good.

I've also been loving the Starbucks S'mores Frappucino and the Mocha Cookie Crumble! These are both really good... I've ordered them before but the S'mores hasn't been around in a while and the Mocha Cookie Crumble is always better than I thought. Idk why I always forget about that one... but now I'm loving it and it's good.

MUST WATCH 

I've been loving all of The Tim Tracker's videos lately. I get so excited to see them on in my subscriptions... and he's been doing a lot of exciting stuff lately. He's going to be a dad, he and his wife have been traveling a lot, he went to Galaxy's Edge... it's all really cool and it looks like he's having fun with everything. I've been enjoying the videos.

Really any of the Galaxy's Edge videos... I'm excited for it!

I've also been liking Umbrella Academy a lot. My Boyfriend and I started watching it together... we didn't finish Episode 3 yet- but I do really like it.

I haven't seen Black Mirror's new season yet... and I am a little nervous about it because I've heard some bad things... but I'm excited for it.

I also watched the first episode of You on Netflix... I'll get back to that one in a bit... but that's a good one too.

MUST READ 

Back to the book You... omg what a weird but good and creepy book. I'm on chapter 20 or 30 now I think... it makes me feel a lot of things. It's about this book store manager that is obsessed with this Brown Student that plans on being a writer... and he manipulates everything in her life and kidnaps her ex boyfriend... and it's just wild. I love it so far and can't wait to read more. I can't stop thinking about the book when I'm not reading it too... it's just so strong!

After this book I think I'll read something a little lighter... I have a romance book called One Day In December by Josie Silver... this just sounded good and it's part of Reese's Book Club (Reese Witherspoons... not Reese's Pieces.) Anyway this looked good and I bought it recently so I might try to read and talk about it soon.

I also have a couple books from Marie Kondo- Spark Joy and The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and I have the first 2 volumes of the Umbrella Academy series... which I need to finish.

Must Listen To... 

Radio Pop... not usually my thing but I'm loving the new Taylor Swift song with Brendon Urie and the new Ed Sheeran song with Justin Bieber. Weird combos I didn't think I'd like... but I think they sound good together.

Anyway... I think that is everything! I might do more of these as I feel needed... but I wanted to let you guys know what I like now!

Bye!
-Shannon

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
