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 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
