Movie Monday: Atomic Blonde... I think I liked it?

 So this is another movie that has some problems... but my boyfriend has been telling me to watch it with him for years because it is bad and I finally watched it with him... and it had problems but I didn't hate it.  So this movie is also set in the 80s... so there's a theme here with my last movie being Wonder Woman 1984... and it was actually on the day the Berlin Wall was taken down.  And the ending is kind of a twist... but there are actually a lot of clues to it throughout the movie... There was one time I said to my boyfriend "I keep thinking Charlize Theron's character's accent is bad... but she's from South Africa so she did have a british accent at some point." So... yeah!  And a lot of the events in the movie... I don't understand what exactly anyone was trying to accomplish. One character gets killed... but at that point I was like "Was that really necessary?" I kind of forget what happens but... some of the characters motivations

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

Throwback Thursday: My First Valentine's Day With My Boyfriend

 Alright so... my boyfriend and I have always had a fun Valentine's Day. We don't always like to celebrate big on the actual day because our half-anniversary is on the 16th. So the first year we were together we didn't think we'd be able to celebrate on Valentine's Day... so we were going to celebrate on the 16th... and last year I closed on Valentine's Day- so we couldn't really do anything until the 16th. This year I'm not really sure what we're doing but... idk. I'd be happy doing something any day. The half year marker... idk I still kind of like celebrating it even though we've been together a while... so I like that Valentine's Day falls around that time.  Anyway... so I don't want to tell the whole story of the first year... but I'll tell the funny bits of info that I think you'll laugh at.  So... he was supposed to have jury duty... but they ended up not needing him... so that all in its own is kind of funny that our f

Valentine's Day It List: Favorite Things for the holiday!!!

 Alright so I thought I'd talk about a few of my favorite Valentine's Dat types of things! So... here we go!  1) Russel Stover Strawberry Hearts-  These are pretty much available for every holiday in some way or another... but the Valentine's Day ones are my favorite! These just taste really good and they're really great. My parents always get me this... I like them a lot!  2) Reading a Rom Com Book-  I like reading a cute book for the Valentine's Day... it just seems really fun and cozy. Last year this time I read a book called The Plus One by Sarah Archer- and that was a really good book and Sarah Archer- really nice lady! She followed me back on Instagram and we like each other's dog pictures! I think it's being turned into a series too and I'm EXCITED about that.  Honestly they usually have a bunch of cute romance books out at Book Stored for Valentine's Day... judge it by the cover and read the back and see if it's interesting. That's ho

Target Tuesday: Favorite Target Snacks

 Ahhh yes. Time for me to express my love for Dot's Homestyle Pretzels!  I always find myself finding some sort of gem at Target to snack on. This one my sister actually found... the Dot's Homestyle Pretzels. I'm not even that much of a pretzel fan... but the seasoning on these is just so good and it's got kind of a kick to it... they are much different than regular pretzels. I just tried the Southwest version as well... those are a little bit spicier and they taste kind of like Queso Dip... I highly recommend these to eat on your own or for a party. Maybe for the football game coming up (are blogs allowed to say the real name? I know there are lots of legal issues.... but I'm not calling it The Big Game.) These are definitely a must try. They also have cheese curls... I haven't tried these and I don't think I've seen them at my Target... but I would definitely give them a try too!  I also love during the holiday seasons when they have their indulgent tr

Movie Monday: Wonder Woman 1984... It Has Some Problems...

 Okay so... this movie has problems... And the weird thing is... I still really liked it... but there's SOOOOO much wrong with it that... I don't even know where to begin.  Now the movie opens with a flashback of Diana as a little girl with an accent that slips in and out and it shows her trying to cheat to win a competition by cheating and the negative effects of cheating.  Then the movie opens with another opening scene of Diana in the present which is 1984. She's at a mall in her wonder woman costume saving people and doing Wonder Woman things. This scene is unrelated to just about anything that happens in the events of the movie... but enjoy it because it is the one time in the whole movie that you'll be able to see Wonder Woman doing Wonder Woman things... Literally... it's just... ugh. If this wasn't a Wonder Woman movie it would still have problems but maybe it would have been less disappointing.  Before I mention the thing with Chris Pine returning... I
