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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
