Things To Be Excited About This Fall! 2020

 Alright... so maybe this fall won't be as exciting as other falls... but I feel like that will give us more to be excited about and more to do. Maybe we won't get to see all the excited Horror Movies that were supposed to come out- but we can stay home and watch our favorites or some that we've maybe missed. Maybe trick or treating will be different- but I think it can still be done in a socially distant way. I'm sure there are a lot of things to enjoy this fall that will be the same as other years. 

One thing I would love to do that I'm pretty sure will be very safe if it is open is pumpkin picking and apple picking... and I think I would like to do that this year. I would also be excited to paint pumpkins and make a recipe with the apples. If I do go pumpkin or apple picking lol. 

There's also this cider drink that my dad made last year. We got Delicious Orchards apple cider... which is the best Apple Cider and we used Smirnoff Caramel Vodka with it and it tasted really good. They actually tried it at a restaurant they like called Bahrs but... it tasted really good when we made it at home too. I think we even got fancy and rimmed the glass with Cinnamon Sugar. So so good! 

I like wearing Flannel! I'm really excited to start wearing it- it's been getting a little chilly here and since Outdoor dining has been our only option and they aren't resuming indoor dining till Friday... which I'm excited about but I still might choose to eat outside at some places. It's nice. But yeah Flannel is a really fun and cute thing to wear in the fall. Not totally sure I pull it off... but I wear it anyway. 

Fall Fashion in general is my favorite. I love those nice, warm colors. I just think they're really pretty. I'm excited for my Style Saturday's. 

I'm also trying to find a good pair of boots to wear. I bought a pair from target... but they're heels and I'm going to have to return them cause I can't walk in them comfortably. 

I'm excited for a new season in Animal Crossing! Particularly seeing how the season looks in the game... Plus all of the mushroom crafting. I haven't played for a few weeks but I have a feeling I will be playing every day now. Especially with the rumored updates... it just sounds really good. 

Also I think I'm going to start reading horror books and Harry Potter for halloween. My coworker lent me a horror book of hers and I need to finish that... but there are also a lot more books I want to read. Grady Hendrix, Stephen King... so many books actually that I need to read. I'm excited. 

And TV too. I don't know if many shows will be back... but I know they have the second season of The Haunting of Hill House... I also need to watch the first season... but I think that will be a fun, spooky show. Plus the Bachelorette is going to be back and idk about that one. From the sounds of it they should call it The Bachelorette:  Sloppy Seconds Edition... but it might be good. 

I'm also excited for my birthday! I actually took off that week from work so I'm excited for a little vacation- I probably won't go anywhere but I'll probably do a lot! 

And... yeah that's about it. It's September 1st- the start of the first month of fall... and I'm ready for it! 

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...

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...
