So I'm Turning 29 in Quarantine... Probably

Alright- this blog might be a little premature but it's just kind of a fact I've come to realize and... these are just my thoughts on it. 

So when Quarantine started it was my boyfriend's 24th birthday... it was St. Patrick's Day- the stores we work at weren't closed yet- but restaurants just closed- so we could only have dinner at my parent's house and they got him a cake and a St.Patrick's Day Frog Cupcake... so that was really nice- but I thought I was glad my birthday didn't happen then... and honestly I'm glad his birthday happened at the start before everything was totally shut down. 

And now it's towards the end of July and I've just realized... Ohhh... my birthday will be in Quarantine. And likely.... the last year of my 20s will be... a lot different than what I would want it to be. 

So obviously there are a lot worse things going on in the world right now- I'm not complaining about this... it's just a really weird reality to accept. And it isn't like I've been wild in my 20s... but I'd like to go out and have a few drinks with friends for my 29th birthday. I don't really have a lot of friends so it'd only be a few people... and I still probably could do something but... it's just sad that maybe I can't. 

And in reality... I'll probably just tell people I'm turning 26 again... and I'll do a redo of this 29th birthday when I turn 31...and I'll probably have a few more 29th birthdays after that because... I do lie about my age sometimes haha... age is just a number... and I don't think my denial of my actual age is harmful... just a little confusing. And yes- if you can see my math I am dating a younger man so... it makes sense for me to lie about my age anyway... lol. 

Alright those are just my thoughts! 

Bye!

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
