Book/ Notebook Haul! October 2019

Recently I've gotten a lot of books and notebooks... so I just thought I'd share what I've been getting... so yeah! Also I do go to Barnes and Noble often for my books- and I'll probably go there soon... but none of these books are actually from Barnes and Noble! These are just things I picked up that aren't really from Book Stores!

I'm going to start out with the notebooks because I did get some fun ones!

I found 2 of these at the store I work at and I 100% absolutely needed them! They are from the brand Wacct and they have some of my favorite people on them! The first one I found has David Bowie on it... if you guys don't know I'm a massive David Bowie fan- so of corse I needed that! The second one has the Fab 5 from Queer Eye on it... I have no idea what I'll write in the Bowie notebook- but the Queer Eye one I want to use more as a self-help type of notebook. A lot of the books on here are self help books!

I also got a Pusheen Planner! This was on sale at Hot Topic and it was adorable and I needed it!

The next ones I actually got 3 of the same notebook from AC Moore. All the notebooks were $10 and they were buy one get 2 free... so I got 2 for me and one for my boyfriend. I got a brown one and 2 black ones- They're just these handy little leather-looking notebooks with a pouch in the front and it even has a little holder for your pens and I love that! Super nice looking and I know he uses a pencil pouch all the time so I thought this could be useful for him. I actually wrote the rough draft for this blog in the brown one!
Now the book! There are 3 I bought from the store I work at and 2 I bought at Target. Only 1 of these books is fiction... so this is a little different for me and I'm branching out a little bit.

The first one that I saw at work and 100% needed is a cookbook called "The One With All The Recipes: An Unofficial Cookbook for fans of Friends" by Teresa Finney. I love Friends- it's something I kind of like to watch daily if I can and I saw Joey's Meatball Sub and was like "Okay... I'll buy this!" But the recipe I really wanted that I will probably most likely make the Moist Maker Turkey Sandwich. I think you need to make sure to write Ross's note to get the full recipe but... this is one of my favorite jokes on the show so I'm happy to have that!

Next up... I have the 2 books from Rachel Hollis- which are Girl, Stop Apologizing and Girl, Wash Your Face. I know a friend of mine read one of these books and I kind of wanted to read them and since I saw them at work I just picked them up. I had been a little hesitant on getting these for a while because I know that Rachel Hollis is a Christian and these books include a lot of Christianity... and I'm not really opposed to that, it's just not something I would pick up if it was just a book about Christianity... but I didn't think it was enough to totally stop me from wanting to read the books and I thought "well I'm glad she can include her faith in this. Why not?" So... I'm excited to read these books and I'll let you guys know my thoughts and what I've learned. I'm hoping it will at least remind me to wash my face... and honestly girls do tend to apologize a lot!

And the last two I got from Target... I'll start off with the Self Help type book called "The Joy of Missing Out" by Tonya Dalton. I've never heard of this book- but I read the title and I was like "What the hell? Isn't it Fear of Missing Out?" So... I immediately connected to this- so I'm really excited to read this one and see what it's all about. The Author of this is also the CEO of Inkwell Press Productivity Co... so that is interesting!

And the last book is The Bakeshop At Pumpkin and Spice by Donna Kauffman, Kate Angell, and Allyson Charles. This just seemed like a cute, cozy, autumnal love story that I can read after my spooky book challenge... which I might be failing- but I also think I can read the books quickly and they're kind of shorter books... so I'm excited for that.

Anyway- I hope you guys like this! I'm excited to read and cook these things- I'll let you know how everything is!

Bye!

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...

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...

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...
