Weekly Wrap Up 7.19.20

Favorites 

Animal Crossing- I played this game pretty much all day for the last 2 days. I know this is always a favorite- but I really like how my island is turning out... it's really coming together and it looks really good now! I feel like I have a lot of room! 

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird- I wanted to read a few books this week... and that didn't totally happen but I did pick up this book again by Josie Silver. It's just a sweet book and it isn't really making me sad anymore. 

Yoga- I've been doing Yoga every once and a while... I have to say I was really lazy the last couple of days and I haven't done it... but I think I'll try another yoga video after I finish this. I've been doing Yoga With Adrienne Videos because she's just a really great teacher and her videos are just easy and fun. 

Friends- So I haven't watched as much Friends as I did during the quarantine... but I did still watch quite a bit of Friends. It's a really great show. And I watched some of the last season- which is really funny. The One With Ross's Tan is one of my favorite episodes... it's so funny. I think I would do the same thing as Ross- which is why I don't Tan. 

I watched a lot of The Office too... so that's a favorite too... but I kind of always watch that when it's on... I always watch Friends when it's on too... but yeah. Good stuff. 

Life Scribbles 

So I had vacation from work this week! So I kind of did nothing... and I can't believe I have to go back tomorrow already... but it was fun! 

I went in the pool a lot, I did go shopping quite a bit. I saw my boyfriend a couple of times which was great. I went to my grandmother's house and we got Chili's classic nachos for lunch... which were delicious! 

So for the shopping I went to the Outlets... which I don't think I want to go back to anytime soon. Not a lot of people wearing masks properly if at all... including some workers that worked in the stores there. I did get a few things from Express- which was great. And I got to go to Target and I got a few things there. They have some super cute jewelry right now! 

And that's it... just kind of relaxing. All very good. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

So I mentioned Chili's classic Nachos- which were great... and I also went to Frutta Bowls a couple of times... and I really love them! Particularly the Frutta Bowl- that's what I always order! Its sooo good! 

And I went to Panchero- which is kind of like Chipotle but I prefer Panchero! I got a Burrito Bowl with Chicken... and if you want to know the full order Rice, Black Beans, Chicken Corn Salsa and USUALLY I get Pico- but I accidentally ordered Mild instead and Queso and Sour Cream. It was really good. 

Famous Amos Cookies is another thing- they actually show him on an episode of The Office... which I saw this week and then needed the cookies. 

My mom also found these Kahlua mixed drinks. They have White Russians and Mudslides... I preferred the White Russian because it was a bit more flavorful. 

And Stewarts drinks. Right now I'm drinking the Orange n Cream which is a super nostalgic flavor to me because it reminds me of this hot dog stand that I used to go to with my grandparents in Buttzville (lol) NJ... It's called Hot Dog Johnny's and I actually looked up the website and was surprised it was updated so well. I think I had an orange creamsicle Ice Cream Bar when I went there and this just brings me RIGHT back there. 

And Funions... these are just my favorite as of late... I really like them! 

TV Highlights 

There's a new show called United We Fall that came on this week... It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. But if you remember the show Taina from Nickelodeon- Taina is the mom on the show... and she's really funny and she looks the same. It's exciting to see her again. 

Thoughts 

Nostalgia... it's a good thing. I'm still drinking that Stewarts drink right now and it's just a cool feeling to remember that hot dog stand so vividly. 

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...

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...
