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

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...

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...

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...
