Target Tuesday: Target Haul (and kind of a fail)

Alright so I ordered from Target once again! This might not be that exciting because it's 3 things I've talked about in my Book Wish List and then 2 jewelry things- one didn't work out... so let's talk about it. 

Okay... so there were 2 fails kinda sort of I guess. One was probably just because of Covid 19 shipping processes... but Target always offers something where you could have everything ship in the fewest packages possible. This still shipped in 3 of 4 packages. I think 2 of the books came together, one of the books came in another package and the jewelry pieces shipped separately... or maybe the earrings were in with the book... let me double check actually... Yes it was 4 packages. So... I still saved the dollar because you get a dollar off if you chose that- but it came in 4 packages still. I think it's great that they offer it I'm glad not everything was in a different package. But still. 

So the earrings were kind of the fail. I like these earrings but they aren't something I recommend... I don't really think they're made that well and if I had seen them in person I don't think I would have bought them. 


So these are tiny hoops from Universal Thread and if you can see the way it clips in... its pretty loose so it does not stay in all that well. I would not wear it to work because if I wear a headset- this will just fall right off. One Pair I have is really loose- it came in a 3 pack... so I have at least 2 pairs I think that will work most of the time but... I'm not expecting these to be very long. 


So the Necklace I got is from A New Day- this is a horrible picture of it but... it's a mixed metal necklace with different little rings on it I guess. I really like how it looks. It looks different in real life than what I was expecting and I kind of like it more. It's just cute and it adds something interesting to an outfit. 

So now for the three books that I got! 

First off: I did get In Five Years by Rebecca Serle because I was really curious about it from the description. A girl is basically at like what would probably be considered the high point of her life- she's engaged to a man she loves, she's getting a promotion... then she sees 5 years later and she's starting a totally different job and she's with a different man and... it just sounds interesting. 

I also got You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hoagle. This one has a couple about to get married and they're both trying to get the other person to end the engagement so that they don't have to pay for everything... and it sounds like they see why they fell in love with each other in the first place. It sounded funny. 

And then I have Not The Girl You Marry by Andie J Christopher. This is an updated and genderswapped "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" so he's acting like a crazy person and she's trying to stay with him. It sounded cute and I loved this movie so I wanted to read a book like it. 

And that is it! Hope you guys like it!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
