June Goals

Alright- so it's a new month and I want to make some goals for the month! 

1) Start Running- Lately I've been wanting to start running. I asked my boyfriend last week if he wanted to run with me because I knew that he goes on runs and I feel like I won't start running without someone with me... plus it's a nice date night since we can't really go anywhere. 

2) Exercise- I do want to start working out more. I was for a while last month and then I just kind of stopped for no real reason... I want to stay motivated and keep on working out and getting some sort of exercise in. 

3) Finish 2 books- Maybe more... 2 seems like a big goal though. Especially since I'll probably be back at work next week if I'm not back already by now. I was reading on my lunch break so I did read for about an hour- but I need to finish The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver and I think the next book I'll be reading will be Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan  or The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I think I'll bring Crazy Rich Asians with me to read at work and I'll read The Hate U Give at home because the book is really big and I don't think I'll be able to carry it at work. 

4) Wake Up Earlier- I feel like I've had better days when I wake up earlier- and I can wake up early. The beginning of quarantine I was sleeping in till 2 or so... lately I've been waking up before 10. I kind of want to have a little bit of a morning routine before going to work... so I'd like to be up an hour before the store opens ideally just so I can get some things done. Maybe play some Animal Crossing early in the day... maybe workout or run... I'm not totally sure- but I do want to wake up early so that I can focus more easily when I'm at work. 

5) Keep up with my blogs- So... I know this is the hardest part but I think I've found how to carve out time to write blogs and how to keep them consistent. Yesterday I was actually able to write all my blogs for my beauty blog- so that was really good. Today I'm working on this blog so... hopefully I can keep this up! 

And that is everything for now. I wanted to start my youtube channel back up... but maybe that's something I can do in July or August... I don't really see myself starting it this month. 

Bye!

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...
