Target Tuesday: Going To Target for the First Time Since March

Alright I haven't been going to Target and that's why I've been ordering things online so much... but I feel a little bit safer now that cases have gone down and everyone seems to be wearing a mask in indoor locations in my state- it is required in NJ because cases were very high. And my mom wanted to get some more baby clothes for my niece... so I went with her and honestly it wasn't that bad. 

My boyfriend went probably 2 weeks before I did and he said it was kind of depressing because it seemed like they were trying to prevent you from shopping. I didn't really experience that. There were a lot of employees- and a lot of people were shopping but... it wasn't overwhelming. I don't think they had plexiglass partitions like a lot of grocery stores and it looked like there were markers on the floor but... I'm not sure everyone was following that... but it wasn't really that bad. Everyone was respectful while going in an aisle. It wasn't too bad. 

So what did I buy? Well I wanted to check out the makeup aisle because usually I go to Target with my boyfriend and I don't explore the makeup section as much as I used to. They actually have a lot of new stuff that I didn't know. They had some of the new Makeup Geek Quads, I wanted to pick up one of them but I'm not sure they looked a little picked over because there weren't many left. I did get an eyeshadow quad from a brand called The Lip Bar. I saw someone on instagram say that they wanted to try more black owned beauty brands and someone recommended The Lip Bar so I wanted to try something from them. Plus this quad was really pretty looking and the packaging looked great too! I love small quads with good packaging. This one even has a mirror! I haven't used it much yet because as of right now my eye kind of hurts but... when I did briefly use it it was nice and pigmented and easy to use. 

I also grabbed a L'oreal Lash Paradise Mascara. I needed a new mascara... and I used to like this one. I feel like the one I got was kind of bad or they changed the formula or something though cause I didn't like it as much as I used to. 

And I didn't realize it but the new Hunger Games book came out! I believe it's a prequel to the series and it's called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes  and it is of corse by Suzanne Collins. It looks good- it's also very long so that's exciting. It's been a while since I've read The Hunger Games and I actually haven't even seen the last movie so I'll probably watch them again soon. 

And that was it. I didn't really feel comfortable buying a lot of stuff because I feel like I can mostly order it online and I didn't want to touch a lot of stuff- especially if I wasn't sure if I was buying it but... I'd go back again and try not to stay too long. 

Anyway I hope you guys like this! 

Bye!

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...

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...
