App Review: Duolingo

So a lot of people have been trying to learn languages right now and I downloaded Duolingo right before all this happened. Right now I'm on a 25 day streak (at the time writing this... hopefully it's kept up by the time I post this) and I'm learning Spanish, Greek and Italian.

When I first downloaded this app years ago I tried Italian because I took one semester my very LAST semester of college and I wanted to try to keep up with it. I downloaded it again because my boyfriend had started learning Japanese on it and I wanted to try to learn some Greek. I decided to add Spanish to it also because I was pretty good at Spanish in High School and College and I thought that would be a good language to pick up.

It's also not too confusing to do 3 different languages surprisingly. I do get confused between Spanish and Italian sometimes- but I might try to break up when I do them throughout the day. Maybe I'll do Greek before bed and when I wake up and I'll do Italian and Spanish throughout the day not one right after the other- just to make it a little less confusing.

I also want to write down some of the phrases- I've done that for Greek and I should probably do it with Spanish and Italian as well.

Right now I'm doing the best at Spanish- Italian I'm not doing too bad at and Greek has been really difficult. I'm getting a little bit better at greek- but the whole alphabet is different and I have a whole different keyboard for it and it's harder to retain the information. Basically I know the word for Alphabet and that's about it. Ohhh and Pop Corn lol.

I definitely recommend downloading the app because it is really fun and it's good to just have something to learn every single day. Plus the ads aren't as obnoxious as the last game that I reviewed lol.

Bye!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
