Weekly Wrap Up 1/23/17

Favorites  Hamilton- I saw Hamilton yesterday... it was even better than I thought it would be... and I really thought it would be good... I'll have a full review on that... I'm sure you already kind of know my feelings about that. I listened to the Soundtrack a lot this week too... so that was especially good.  Teak- On Monday I ate at a restaurant called Teak in Red Bank. I'll do a Scribbles About Food on that, but that was delicious! It reheated sooo well too. I was really impressed! Very yummy!  A Series of Unfortunate Events- I watched this again this week... I need something else to watch because I'm about to watch it again... and I already did my review. Lol. I really need to get some of the books now because I'm just so into this series right now.  News and World Events The Womens March was awesome and there were a lot of funny signs that actually said something meaningful. No matter what your thoughts on the current president, I t...

Weekly Wrap Up- 6.19.16

Favorites  Grace and Frankie- Still a favorite! I love this show... its really funny, I'm almost done and I'll have a review soon and then I'll watch Orange is The New Black... but this is good! I like it a lot!  Last Year was Complicated- The new Nick Jonas CD is really great! I'll have a review on that sometime soon also... but I liked it. Even though all his songs kinda sound the same, I think there's a purpose for that. He's telling a story. Lol. Watching Movies- Watching movies is just fun. I haven't done that in a little while, so I watched Pitch Perfect 2 and My Big Fat Greek Wedding when I was cleaning my room. I bought Deadpool really cheap at Target, so I think I'll watch that when I finish cleaning... so yeah. That's fun!  Snippets from the week  -Monday was my moms bday, so we went out to lunch and dinner. It was nice. We went out a lot this week too... we went out friday and yesterday... so that was good. And my grandm...

Weekly Wrap Up 4.3.16

First weekly wrap up of April! Cool! Favorites  My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- I love this movie! I reviewed it yesterday I love it. It is really funny and its just one of those movies that will put you in a good mood. I think it'd be a fun date night movie, particularly for big families... its just fun! Pickled Eggs- Weird one, but yep. I'm super picky, but for whatever reason, I love hard boiled eggs. And my mom always makes pickled eggs around easter and I like them a lot. Really good. Iced Chai Latte from Starbucks- Now that its getting warmer out, I've been getting iced drinks from Starbucks, and I think my regular Starbucks makes the best Starbucks Chai Lattes ever. Its so sweet and tasty I really loved it. I only had one this week... but still a favorite! I enjoy it. Highlights  Wednesday I had Dance classes and some not so fun stuff happened after dance class... but that was all sorted out on Thursday when I got what I think I'm going to wear to my sister...

Weekly Wrap Up Easter Edition! 3/27/16

Favorites  Pure Leaf Iced Tea- I might do a review of these soon cause I love them and I've tried most of the flavors and I like all but one... so yeah. These have been a big favorite recently. So far I think my favorites are Peach and Raspberry. I like the Iced Tea Lemonade too. These are great. Dance Lessons- Yep I'm taking Dance Lessons and its really fun! So I'm saying its a favorite! I like it a lot.I'm not great... but I'm doing okay and I'm having fun with it. Instagram- Was this a favorite last week? I've been really liking it, I actually just started a new account for beauty reviews called Shannonsreviews. Its been fun. My regular instagram is called Shannonsface if anyone wants to follow that. Highlights  Thursday was a big day. I won a radio contest, went to Ulta, took dance lessons and then at 1am I was actually able to order the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette that I've been waiting for! Friday I had dance lessons again and Saturday ...

Weekly Wrap Up: 3/6/16

Heyyy guys! Happy Sunday here's whats good for the week! Favorites  Big Love- The most random show to start watching at the most random time... but I like it. It isn't your typical show... but it shows ordinary people living in a different way than most people. Not your average family, it is about polygamy... but its interesting to watch and the characters are all really great! What We Do In The Shadows- So I'm trying to watch more movies and do posts on them... and I'll explain why I'm doing that when I finally post... but this was the funniest movie! It's so well done and clever... Its a fake documentary about vampires and its just really funny. One of my favorites I would say... really great. Can't wait to see We're Wolves. I hope they keep making these... I'd love to see a tv show of this. It's just a great concept. Birdman- Figured I'd mention this movie too cause I really liked it. No one I know likes this movie... but I thought ...

Weekly Wrap Up: Valentines Day Edition

So this weeks wrap up is on V-Day... so why not just call it a Valentines Edition and call it a day. Favorites Starbucks Molten Chocolate Latte- You need this in your life. I think today might be the last day to get these... so get them! I know this is kinda late in the day... but find an open Starbucks after your Valentine's Day date and get this! Its yummy. Reading Magazines- I've mentioned on my reading list that I had a few magazines I wanted to read... but this week I feel like I've been liking reading in general... but magazines especially. I'm subscribed to a few because I ordered something online and they started sending me a few for free... and right now I just kind of like reading them cover to cover because I like learning different things. I feel like its more interesting if I just read anything regardless of whether or not I'm really interested in it because I'll learn something new and different. I like being forced out of my comfort zone. I a...

Weekly Wrap Up- 1/24/16

Favorites  Minions- I feel like I didn't like a lot of things this week... lol idk why I had a good week and everything, but there isn't a ton I'm like "wow I just tried this and you need to try it too." But this has been a very minion-y week. I watched Minions, I watched Despicable Me 2... there are other random minion things I've liked... its just been a pretty Minion-y week and I like that. Minions always make me happy. So yeah. Starbucks White Mocha- It's been a while since I had this... but it is amazing! My dad actually got this for me when he went to starbucks and I need to remember to order this more! For some reason I didn't think I liked the White Mocha... but it is really really good! I really like it! Apple Music- So my dad has Apple Music and he's sharing it with me... and I really like it because I don't love committing to an album really. Like I used to like Adele, and I used to listen to her... but after they played all of ...

Weekly Wrap Up: 1/17/16

Hello everyone. Happy Sunday! Lets Start out with the favorites and then get into some news and highlights! Favorites  Master of None- Great show. I'm late on the bandwagon here... but its well worth it. I love Aziz Ansari and I love the type of show that this is if that makes sense. It's in my It List, which is like my mid monthly favorites, and I'll go over it a little bit more there... but its good. Irresistible By Fall Out Boy- I always love hearing FOB on the radio. I always like Fall Out Boy. I'll have a review of this music video out tomorrow I think... but I like the song. I like Demi Lovato in it. I have a little bit of a girl crush on her. She's gorgeous and just seems awesome. Like I get it. The only thing I don't love about the song... all of them are starting to sound the same to me. And I feel like I've known this for a while, but have been afraid to say it... but this and Immortals from the Big Hero 6 soundtrack... might as well be the ...

The Weekly Wrap Up- 1/10/16

Favorites  Chex Mix Snickerdoodle Muddy Buddies- I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter Muddy Buddies... but these snicker doodle flavored ones are pretty amazing! I got these in my stocking... I'm not sure if they were a favorite before... but I like them a lot and... yeah. If you can find these, pick them up cause they delicious! Justin Bieber- When the hell did Justin Bieber get good? He's not like soo good that I'm obsessed with him or anything... but I don't turn him off when he's on the radio because his songs are just so good! I ranted a little bit about the One Direction song... which is also pretty good... but Justin Bieber got good! I wasn't crazy about What Do You Mean... But I think Love Yourself is so clever and awesome. I feel like I have to mention him at some point during the week. As it turns out though... still an ass! We'll talk about that in the news portion. He's been Un-favorited... lol. Fulton's Pumpkin Pie Cream Liquor- ...

The Weekly Wrap Up: 1/3/16

So today is the first Sunday of the New Year, which means its also the first Weekly Wrap Up of 2016... which is cool! Happy New Year everyone... I'm sure I've posted before... but yeah. This is good. Favorites  The Worst Idea of All Time Podcast- So this podcast was started a while ago and it was 2 guys from New Zealand that decided to watch Grown Ups 2 every day for a year and write a podcast of it. And I listened to an episode... but I've never seen Grown Ups 2... but I did see the movie they are doing for Season 2 in which they do a movie I actually think is really a fun movie... Sex and The City 2. Arguably... more watchable and less boring than the first movie and its not a good movie by any stance... but it is watchable... if you see it one time. If you see it every day for a year... probably not. Its a fun podcast though and I'm a little obsessed with it right now. I've also been listening to my other podcasts too like Comedy Bang Bang and How Did This G...

Weekly Wrap Up- 12/19/15

Favorites  English Muffins with Raspberry Jelly- So yummy! I was sick one day this week and this was my dessert, my dinner was a baked potato... lol. So this was really good! The jelly we got is an Amish Jelly and its really yummy and just tastes really good. Its a nice sweet little topper for English Muffins... and even when I felt better I ate some too! Ginger Ale- Can you tell I was sick? I was only feeling sick one day this week... but Ginger Ale is always pretty yummy. I like it. I went to 5 Guys recently and they had one of those fancy soda machines where you could get different flavors of Ginger Ale like Raspberry and Vanilla... it was exciting. Really yummy. If you see one of those fancy soda machines... I really liked it! And thats about it... lol. Highlights  Monday I went to CVS and to the food store with my mom. Nothing major. Tuesday I didn't do much... but I did get a package I was waiting for for a while... but another package I was expecting a while ...

Weekly Wrap Up: 12/12/15

Happy the world didn't end 3 years ago day! To Celebrate, I'll do the Weekly Wrap Up a day early! Or because you know, its going to effect Blogmas... lol. Favorites  Philosophy Almond and Cream Shower Gel- I love the smell of almonds... I love Philosophy shower gels... and the combo of the two is just awesome. I actually don't think they sell this at Sephora or Ulta at the moment... but I found a duo of a lotion and the shower gel at TJ Maxx. It was a little pricier than I expected from TJ Maxx... but still a good deal. And its the scent that I absolutely love. It smells soo good and almondy and warm and I just absolutely love love loveeee it! Green Mountain Gingerbread K Cups- These are soooo good.These I may like just as much as the Starbucks Gingerbread Latte... if not more. That is how good they are! I'm loving these. Another Holiday K Cup flavor I am loving are the Queen Anne Cherry Cordial K Cups... ohhh my gosh! Sooo soooo good! Thought these could be rea...

Weekly Wrap Up: 12/6/15

Favorites  The Great American Baking Show- I feel like this is the worst title... but I'm a little obsessed with this show already. The hosts are Nia Vardalos and her husband Ian Gomez, I'm big fans of them and I think they did a great job hosting it. I also really liked the contestants. I thought no one was very dramatic, and it was just about people that were good bakers... baking. They made cookies this week and they all looked delicious. They do one round where the contestants make their own cookies, and then one where they have to follow one of Mary Berry's recipes and they made a Brandy Snap with an eggnog cream on the inside. And then they needed to do a showstopper where they made a gingerbread house. It was really fun to watch and see what everyone came up with. Swiss Miss K Cups- These took a while for me to like because I'm so used to just making my regular 8 ounce k cups that I didn't really know what to do with Hot Chocolate. This I put on the Hot Ch...

Weekly Wrap Up! 11/8/15

Here we go! Weekly wrap up for the first week of November! Favorites Gingerbread Latte- Gingerbread Latte's are back and... I have decided yes I like them more than Pumpkin Spice. It has been decided. This is a great holiday drink... its a little early... but its still yummy. Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask- My chin has been getting dry, so I've been using this and I really like it a lot. My chin still looks a little bit dry and a little cakey... but it doesn't hurt or look cakey under foundation or anything. It helps with my whole face, but I especially like it for my chin because that's the driest part... so I'm a fan. I like it. Isn't She Lovely T Shirt- This is kind of random, but remember how I said I liked Stevie Wonder a few days ago?My parents saw him recently and they got me a t shirt that says Isn't She Lovely on it and I really like it. Its red and comfy and its been warmer here this week, so just t shirts have been good for the w...

Weekly Wrap Up: 11/1/15

Happy November guys! My birthday week is over :( But here are a few of my favorite things from the last week of my birthday month. Favorites  I think all my favorites are food... not gonna lie I ate a lot this week... errr. Starbucks Pumpkin Latte Iced Coffee- So at the grocery store you can actually get the PSL's in the iced version like the Frappuccino's. Its pretty good! Its good for a little pumpkin spice fix at home. It's also good if you like Egg Nog and stuff and just want a little fix of something like that. Its just a nice little pick me up. I like these... wish they had these when I was in College... lol. Wegman's Colby Jack Pre Cut Cheese- Lol cut the cheese. Lol. I always make that joke. I love Cheese and crackers and I have that for lunch sometimes. I think this is new that they actually have the cracker cheese in pre cut slices. That's pretty cool. Its just hie that they have it already cut and ready to serve. This would be great for holiday par...
