Weekly Wrap Up: July 12th 2020

Favorites 

Peter Monn- I feel bad watching drama commentary channels but... Peter Monn is really funny and he has a fun personality... plus every once and a while there's youtube drama that I like to listen to... actually I kind of follow a lot of commentary channels right now so... yeah. Peter Monn's the one that makes me laugh and not feel as hopeless about the world right now. I should watch his other channels too. 

The Pool- I went in the pool a couple of times this week. It was nice and relaxing so... that was good. I went in with my niece the first time and then read a book the second time. 

Life Scribbles 

Sunday I had the day off so my sister and niece came over and went in the pool with us... like I just mentioned. I might have talked about that last week because I write these on Sunday but... it was good. 

The rest of the week I worked... longer hours too because we  got a lot of hours this week. I had a day off on Wednesday so my boyfriend and I went to the mall and had lunch and dinner together. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

I finally got Frutta Bowl again... SOOO YUMMY! I love their bowls. I also had Mogo... I love Mogo but I ordered something different and I'm not sure it was enough food. 

Funyuns... I love how crispy these are... and I'm kind of liking onions a lot lately because my mom's been making a lot of salsas... so that's a new flavor I really like a lot. 

I also like the Purple Doritos, which are the Sweet Spicy Chili Flavor... which are also really good and flavorful! 

TV Highlights 

I watched another episode of The Bachelor Greatest Seasons Ever and they showed the first season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and they showed some of Trista's wedding. I actually watched the first season of The Bachelorette and I was rooting for Trista to choose Ryan so I was really happy for that! I liked Charlie a lot too but I'm happy she chose Ryan and that they're still together and they have a life together. They're so cute and they have a lovely family. 

News and World Events 

Okay this technically happened last week but DRAMAGEDDON 3 in the beauty community. Tati made a video saying that Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star gaslighted her into making a video against James Charles where she accused him of some really horrible things. I believe most of what Tati said in her video. It all seemed to make sense... and as someone that was a big fan of Shane Dawson... I'm really disappointed. He admitted that he knew Tati was making the video... that's enough for him to be more guilty than he is letting on... so yeah. 

Ohhh and I think this happened either this week or last week but Amy Cooper was arrested for calling the police saying that she was being attacked by a black man in Central Park when he wasn't attacking her at all- Chistian Cooper (no relation) simply asked her to put a leash on her dog. He was just minding his business bird watching. She was fired right after the incident but no legal action was taken and now she's been arrested... so that's a good thing at least. 

And of corse the very tragic news about Naya Rivera. I'm sure you've heard this story but the actress that played Santana on Glee went on a boating trip with her 4 year old son and it is believed that a riptide got her and she's now presumed dead and there are still search teams looking for her. Her family are in my thoughts right now, especially her son who was found alone on the boat after she disappeared. 


Thoughts 

I know the news is all kind of sad this week... I would love to put a more uplifting story at the end here to make things better... but there aren't really any that I know of right now... I'm sure there was some more uplifting stuff but... I just don't know or can't recall it right now... so I guess here's a good spot to quote John Lennon- Be The Change You Want To See In The World. 

Bye!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
