Best Things of the 2010s

Okay... I was going to do a top 10 list of the decade... but I think I'm going to just kind of talk about some of my favorite things of the decade... but I think I'm just going to talk about some things.

If you were going to ask me what the BEST THING that the 2010s have given us- it's Hamilton. You guys... Hamilton... What a fantastic musical! I saw it in 2017 I believe... I had listened to the album just about a year before I saw it and it was still 1000% better than I expected. Totally exceeds all hype and definitely worth checking out!

Another big favorite that has spanned from 2010 and I'm sure my love for them will continue for years to come... THE MINIONS! They are just so cute and they always make me smile and laugh. I loved the first despicable me so much and whenever I was stressed in college I would watch different minion videos and mini movies. It's just really fun!

The favorite books of the decade for me are probably The Hunger Games, Gone Girl, Horns and an honorable mention to Marie Kondo. I think my favorite book ever is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn... what an amazing twist! I still remember when I got to that point in the book- it was like late at night and then I got to that chapter and I was about to go to bed but then I had to read some more... and I just about finished it right then and I had dreams about it... I made all my friends buy it too... so yeah. I might have to reread it this year.

Horns by Joe Hill is a favorite that I read more towards the start of the decade- but it totally stands out when I think about what books I've loved. This was the first book I suggested to my boyfriend and he read it and loved it... it's just so good and the villain is really great and it's genuinely kind of mysterious and I just really liked it and he really liked it too!

The Hunger Games is something else I read in college and that's a great read... I read all 3 books pretty quickly. I had heard about Marie Kondo years before and I just started watching some of her Netflix show and I picked up 2 of her books. She's pretty amazing.

There was also a new adult Princess Diaries book out which I loved! I actually reread a lot of the books and finished the series this decade also so... this is an always favorite for me too. I loved it in the 2000s, I'll probably reread them again soon and... yeah I love them!

Next up I want to talk about some music! Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco were 2 of my favorite bands in the 2000s and they made comebacks in the 2010s... and I still love them! I think Panic at The Disco had some great music particularly the last few years. Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga were 2 concerts I've been to in the 2010s and they were both absolutely amazing. Lady Gaga for sure was a favorite in the 2000s and is still a favorite in the 2010s! Born This Way was probably my second favorite album after the Hamilton Soundtrack... Joanne was great too and A Star Is Born.

And Kesha's album Rainbow was a definite favorite of mine this year! My parents even love it... which is crazy! Also of corse... Lizzo has definitely been my favorite album this year!

The 10's also gave us some more Star Wars! The Force Awakens and that whole series and then we got some other movies and The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda and Galaxy's Edge at the Disney Parks! I love me some Star Wars so this was definitely a favorite for me!

We also got The Avengers, Deadpool,Bridesmaids and other great Girl Comedies, 21 Jump Street, we got the end of Harry Potter, Toy Story 3 and 4,Tangled, Frozen, and last but certainly not least... My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2! Jordan Peele's movies and Hereditary were great too.

And What We Do in The Shadows... the TV Show was definitely a favorite this year and I loved the movie too! Other great shows Modern Family, Netflix shows, Orange is The New Black, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Black Mirror, Bojack Horseman, Arrested Development is also a show... not a favorite this year- but it's a show. Breaking Bad is a show I also started watching this decade and it was amazing... probably my favorite show of the decade... and my other favorite is American Horror Story! Which even though I don't always love it- it's always fun to watch. Didn't finish this season yet... but it's okay!

And I hated AHS at first- so that is a surprise!

And I think that is everything! I'm sure there's something I missed... ohhh yeah Aggretsuko! The first thing my Boyfriend and I started talking about! Definite favorite!

And that is it! Hope you guys like it!
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
