Bachelor In Paradise Recap: Weeks 1&2

Alright- so Bachelor In Paradise is my favorite of the bachelor series I think... and so far I like this season. I do kind of know what's going on... but... idk. I feel like I liked the couples a lot from last year and this year there aren't a lot of couples forming.

Week 1 

Let's talk about Blake since he's who everyone was kind of rooting for to find love. I was really hoping he and Hannah G would find love since the two of them were sort of in the same "runner up" situation.... but Blake has slept with most of the people on the beach! He slept with Kristina a day after that he slept with Caelynn... then he took Tayshia on the date- but claimed he was only there for Hannah... it's just kind of a lot. And I don't really think he has the best intentions because he's kind of all over the place with everyone. There's also been some texts that he posted from Caelynn to defend his name... but it made her look awful so he felt like he was being attacked on paradise- so he attacked her on the internet... and later deleted the tweets.

To be honest... I'm more team Caelynn in all of this because I do think she actually wants to find love or a relationship and I think Blake just kind of wants fame and maybe some hookups... I don't really think either of them are actually bad people... but for the sake of the show... Blake is kind of the villain and he's also kind of complaining about everything when he kinda did wrong.

Also Demi has a girlfriend... but she's still on the show... which is sketchy? I get that Demi is the personality and obviously people are watching BIP for Demi... but it's still weird. I feel like she should be a bartender with Wells. I'm happy she's on the show- but it's a little weird.

Dylan and Hannah G are also really cute together. Nicole and Clay are cute together... but week 2 kind of changes these things.

Week 2 

This week kind of centered around Nicole being "The Bachelorette" because she has Clay, Jordan asks her out on a date and Christian also asks her out on a date. PS: On Week 1 Annaliese kinda went crazy and told Clay he shouldn't go on the one on one cause he just broke up with her friend Angela (from last season of BIP) and it's not right for him to date someone when she knows he and Angela still had feelings for each other after their breakup. Demi was angry at Annaliese and said "Nicole is a sweet person she shouldn't have said that before her date" or something along those lines... Annaliese was also HOPING for a rose from Chirs- but he doesn't give her one... instead giving one to Kristina for drama purposes. He did kinda lead Annaliese on though... but I didn't think they were a couple before Annaliese said they were kind of a couple. And knowing Annaliese from last year... I feel like she just wants to stay till paradise till the end at all costs and I don't totally think the Bachelor shows are a way for her to find love. Personally I like Annaliese- I follow her on Instagram and she's always very sweet and positive on there though I know she had a tough year... it sounds like maybe she found someone though and maybe we'll find out after the final rose or something.

Ohhh but back to the Nicole situation. I think she likes all the attention on Paradise- it doesn't really seem like she wants a relationship right off the bat... but she does really like Clay and Clay is a very good, calm guy...which Nicole doesn't really like. She wants him to fight for her- and Christian is kind of a bad guy... so he angers Clay but Clay doesn't get aggressive or anything towards him... and he tries... but at the end of the day Jordan- who is friends with Clay and pretty much knows he's not going to get a rose- fights Christian for Clay... which I kinda respect. I really like Jordan and I'm kind of surprised he actually physically fights someone... but I get it.

Jordan and Demi are also really fun to watch together... so I'm glad they met. I'd love to see them both as Bartenders or something next season even though I love Wells!

There's also the Hannah G and Dylan situation... which really WAKE UP HANNAH! I get it, you knew Blake before Paradise and maybe he was nice before... but DYLAN LOVES YOU! Ugh he's so sweet and she's just ignoring him for Blake. It's frustrating to watch.

Tayshia and John Paul Jones... it's cute. It's cute that Tayshia has a type and that JPJ is soooo infatuated with her. John Paul Jones is also kind of great to watch. I agree with Tayshia... you don't really expect a surfer dude like JPJ to be so intelligent and sweet- but he really is. And it's just cute. Tayshia is also just really hot and fun to watch.

Mike... Great guy- but I don't want him and Sydney to end up together because I really want Mike to be the next Bachelor. Pilot Pete would make a great Bachelor also... but I'm hoping it's Mike.

Caelynn went on 2 dates this week also and seems to really like Dean... okay! Lol. I liked Dean with Leslie in Winter Games... but I can see... winter games seems a little more fake than the other shows. Although Cortney and Lilly are still amazing friends and it's beautiful to see them together. ANYWAY I think Caelynn kind of likes his lifestyle... it's kinda cute to see them together. And at least it isn't Cam amiright????

And Demi coming out as Bisexual to Derek and some of her friends on the beach... it was sweet. Derek feels closer to her because of it... and it's nice that Demi can continue to be Demi.

I think that's everything... excited for week 3 tonight! Hope you guys are too!

Bye!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
