Movie Monday: 10 Movies That Make Me Happy

Alright guys! It's movie Monday and... I didn't watch any movies this week... so I'll talk about some movies that I've seen recently or semi recently that made me happy. 

1) Mirai- I need to do a full review of this on my other blog (The Cozy Princess)... but this was just a super cute movie that was just really beautiful and it will make you laugh and cry and it might make you nostalgic too. This is a Japanese Animation movie- I guess it's animae style but it's just a nice slice of life movie told from the perspective of a young boy who just recently became a big brother- and his sister's name is Mirai which means future- and we meet Mirai from the future too... and it's just a really nice movie that I think would cheer anyone up. 

2) The Art of Racing in The Rain- This is such a sweet movie. I've already done a review on this- but it's about a man's relationship with his dog and it's his life told from the dog's perspective... and it is very cute and sweet. I loved it and I really want to watch that one again! 

3) Poms- I did a review of this one too- but this is one that I wasn't expecting to like and I just tivoed it so that my mom could see it... but it was really sweet and it made me cry. It's not the best movie in the world- but if you want to laugh and smile this is a cute movie to watch. 

4) Crazy Rich Asians- Am I cheating by picking all movies I reviewed recently? Possibly... but this movie did really make me happy. I ended up watching it 3 times in one week and honestly- I'm not sick of it! I could still watch it again and again! It's a really good one! 

5) Always Be My Maybe- So this I also reviewed... and I was reminded of it because it stars Constance Wu from Crazy Rich Asian's tv husband from when she was on Fresh Off The Boat! Randall Park and Ali Wong are adorable in this movie and I feel like I have an extra connection to it because my boyfriend and I watched it while we were on vacation last year... and I miss that a lot. 

6) 10 Things I Hate About You- I watch this movie all the time when it's on! It is one of my favorite movies and I just never really get sick of it. It's really cute and kind of underrated in the grand scheme of things lol. 

7) My Big Fat Greek Wedding- This can't be a list without My Big Fat Greek Wedding. This is one of my favorite movies ever and again- I always watch it when it's on! It hasn't been on as much lately- but it's so good! And I got my boyfriend to like it too- so double win for that! Lol. 

8) Home Alone- I can't believe I almost finished writing this list without one of my favorite movies... actually I'm including Home Alone 2 in this also because Home Alone 2 is my real favorite. Idk why- but this year I just kind of became obsessed with the first 2 Home Alone movies... and I still think they're really funny and cute. 

9) Addams Family Values- This is another one of those movies I can't believe I almost forgot about... this is such a funny movie that once again... I ALWAYS watch. Joan Cusack is sooo funny in this movie- she's the best part! Except for everything else in the movie because it's perfect! 

10) Despicable Me and Minions- I was kind of trying not to include cartoons in this one because... for the most part all cartoons make me happy (not The Queen's Corgi...) But I can't not have Despicable Me on the list! This is the #1 movie that cheered me up in college when I was getting stressed out. And honestly- it's still the #1 movie that's cheered me up through everything. Pretty much all of these movies have come out at an important time in my life and I just really like them. 

Anyway that is it for the week! Hope you guys like this list! 

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
