The Daily Something

I'm sorry about that! I think I'm going to change my blog a little bit and make it a little more scribbles about life-y and actually make time to write about my life... sometime during the day. I think Monday's will still be more of a "Story Time" thing for the most part... I still want to do Chart Chats and reviews...I may do some reviews on my youtube channel... but that can be kind of difficult because in my Star Wars video people were spamming my comments and I didn't like that... so yeah. Anyway I thought I would still talk a little bit about my Christmas. It was really good, it was my first Christmas like this... As far as I can remember- I've always stayed at my house for Christmas- this year we went to my sister's house... which was really nice. I got to see my niece who was a little sick, but she still had fun playing and opening up some presents. The dinner was delicious... we had turkey and I actually tried brussel sprouts and they were ...

I have no idea what else to post... so we're just going to run with this idea and see what happens. 1) My niece was CRACKING UP at me last night because I said her dad took a picture of us and went "Click" and I did the fake camera motion like Alec Baldwin's character on friends. It's so funny to just hear a baby laugh... one of my favorite things ever. 2) My dog barks very loud and he's right in my ear now... so that kind of sucks. 3) My favorite thing to watch first around Christmas is Merry Christmas Charlie Brown... I sort of want to watch it early this year... but I also really like Charlie Brown Thanksgiving... so I should watch that first... I don't want to watch them together... so I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll watch Love Actually or something... idk. I don't want to ruin my Christmas. Lol. 4) Holiday flavors of Starbucks! Yes those are awesome and the cups are really fun. 5) I'm wearing green today... and I like gre...

Favorites  The Great Comet of 1812- I was listening to this soundtrack this week... I'll probably end up doing a full  review  on it on This Blog... I have a feminist review up on my feminist blog... but I really liked it! I don't really  want  to listen to it again... I think I might end up seeing this on Broadway at some time... it's  good. Its one that you can follow the plot from the soundtrack... the characters are all really good... and the music is good. It's like Modern Rock mixed with traditional Russian music... it's good! I would recommend listening to it!  Down To Dis-ness- This is a web series about disney history that Sarah Snitch on Youtube hosts... it tells a little bit of information about Disney (and Pixar) animated movies and how it was important to pop culture... for example new animation techniques and things like that... it was good, I bingewatched all the episodes on Monday.  Crazy Ex Girlfriend- ...

Favorites  The Santa Clarita Diet- I finished this season the day it came out. It's not something I'm like "Ohhh should I watch that again?" Right now... but I did really enjoy it. I'll have a full review on Wednesday, that's going to have some mild spoilers maybe... but it's good! Take my word for it, if you like Zombies, this is a good one! A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Austere Academy- This is a really funny book. I like the characters in it a lot, this is the first book I've read from the series in 13 years probably... so it's exciting to re-read it. I'm excited to see what the show does with this. It's really good! Putting stuff on my wall- I was having trouble organizing my room and then I was like "Hey, just put it on the wall!" And now it's pinterest AF. Lol. News and World Events Beyonce is pregnant with TWINS!!!! Congrats!!!  TV Highlights  Bingewatched Jane The Virgin on Monday... it was ...

I think I'm going to continue doing these on Sunday... but for this week... we're doing it on a Monday! Allllright!  Favorites  Starbucks Salted Caramel Cinnamon Apple Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams- These are delicious! I've been eating 1... or 3 a day this week... only have a few packs but these are such a great candy... there isn't much else to say... the name says it all... it is delicious!  The Original Star Wars Trilogy- After the very sad passing of Carrie Fisher this week, I started watching the Original Star Wars Trilogy. At the time I'm writing this I've already watched A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back once... I'm going to watch them over and over again to do a few blogs... but yeah.  Journal- My friend got me a journal for Christmas... and I've just sort of wrote little things in it... nothing too creative yet... just things that I thought would help me out and be useful... but yeah. I like taking notes, I like jotting things ...

So I didn't really know what to post today... so I'm just going to do a whole Thanksgiving thoughts things. 1) Stovetop Stuffing is The Best  My mom used to make real stuffing and actually stuff it... but my sister and I always prefer Stovetop. That's just what we're used to and we really like it! I think something about it being stuffed inside of the Turkey just grossed me out when I was a kid... and that's when I was like "Yeah I'll just have stovetop." 2) Why the heck do they make Election Day and Thanksgiving in the same month?  That's just bad planning. 3) I've grown to really appreciate the Thanksgiving Day Parade I don't know  why... I just really like watching the parade. I'm not a big parade person, but I really like the Thanksgiving Day Parade! It's fun to see the musicals and all the stars and singers too. I don't think Fall Out Boy or Panic At The Disco are on this year though! That makes me a little sad. ...

Feels good to be back to the Weekly Wrap Up!  Favorites  Super Carlin Brothers Year 1- Basically I've been starting to watch the beginning of Super Carlin Brothers from the beginning and that inspired me to blog what's going on in my life daily... twice a day in addition to my other posts. Its just a good channel. I like watching it late at night, usually while doing something else. Its kind of fun to go back to the beginning of something and see what its become. American Horror Story- Can we talk about how this is the best best BEST season of AHS ever!?!?!?!?! Seriously its so good! I can't even with this... its just sooo sooo good. I can't wait for the finale. I think I'll do a full post about it... its just good! Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Cupcake Body Spray- This is sooo good! The smell is just so sweet and awesome and pretty. I love it! If you can still get your hands on it, I highly recommend it! Life Scribbles - Monday was Halloween! I actually...

Favorites  American Horror Story 6- I think the premiere of this new season of AHS was the best in a long time! I Liked that they kept the plot a secret, even when they did previews, I like that they're using a different format for telling the story. No one is really talking about how great this season is so far either, so I have a feeling its going to be an underrated season that will just be really great and unexpected! I'm excited for Scream Queens with this too! Coloring Journals- I've mentioned this before, I love coloring books... but Coloring journals are fun too! My journal part has been particularly boring lately... but I still have fun writing in it. Just writing in general... I've done a lot of blogs lately that I'm quite proud of and I've just been happy writing... so maybe just writing is a favorite... but also coloring books. I love it. Country Apple - This is a Bath and Body Works Scent... I'll try to leave a link in the link secti...

Faves  S'mores M&Ms- I've done a review on them  here  but I love these! I've been eating a lot of them right now... and I shouldn't be because I am trying to be helthier. They're just so good. I don't understand why no one is talking about these because they are amazing and I love them... but yeah. These are good! Oh Yeah Disney- So I've been into disney vlogs lately... not suew why but this is just a channel I've been liking lately. The guy takes such nice videos of the park, that it looks really good. If you want to see my other favorite disney vloggers, you can look  here . Me Before You- I'm at the end of this book... and I really really like the way its going! I'm excited to do a review on this one because I have a lot of feelings about it already... we'll talk about it! Life Scribbles -Monday I worked out and went in the pool. I wanted to stay in the pool longer, but I felt something wet on the back of my neck and freaked ...

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...

Favorites  Keanu- I saw the movie Keanu this week and I loved it! Great movie, really funny and clever. I did a review yesterday if you'd like to read it... but yeah. Its great! Do Recommend! Comedy Bang Bang- I've been catching up on Comedy Bang Bang the podcast again and I really like it! Its such a funny show, idk why I haven't listened to it in so long... but its great and I recommend it a lot! Unbreakable Kimmy Schmiddt- One of my favorite shows... I finished watching it this week and I want to watch it again. The ending was great and I just really like the show! I'll have a review on that Tuesday I believe. Smores Frappuccino- This is such a good frappucinno. I haven't gotten it that often this week... but it is really great! I'm happy its back! Snippets from the week  - Dance Class Monday! First day at the new studio and it was nice! They were still working on it when we got there, my parents and I were actually the first people to dance there!...

I'm really feeling like I'm running out of things to write about... lol. I've been liking salad a lot recently... which is good. I didn't have any Starbucks today... yet. My dog just made a noise.. . He got a foot scrub I got it back. I like The Goldbergs a lot. I kinda have a headache... maybe because I hit my laptop on my head before... ouch. I think that is everything... Tomorrow... maybe a Kimmy Schmidt review? If I finish the season. If not... idk. Might do another snippet. Idk what to write for my other blog either. Ugh. Byeee! -Shannon

Favorites  Greek Food- I know I just mentioned this in my It List... but I really like Greek Food this week. There's a good Greek Place by my dance Studio and its really yummy. And I had it once this week... but yeah. Yummy and I like it! Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Perfume- I have a rollerball of this and I've been using it before dancing and it just smells really good and its a good workout perfume cause it doesn't stink when you sweat and its a nice scent and it is just a nice smell. It mixes well with other scents and I like having it in a Rollerball because its very easy. I kinda want the full size cause I have the full size of Nirvana White... but I don't think I'll get it anytime soon. Idk. Iced Chai Latte- I'm all about the chai this week! Its so good and its really sweet when its iced and it just has that little bit of spice... really good flavor. I like it a lot! Highlights  So the Shower went really well. Everyone had a great time, my s...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

Hello everyone! Happy Oscars, hope you are enjoying the red carpet and stuff... On with the Weekly Wrap Up Favorites  Crazy Ex- Girlfriend- I love this show. I've been behind since The X Files came on... and I hadn't seen the Christmas Episode... but I caught up a little bit this week and its just such a great show. Its really a good show. Jane The Virgin- I watched this after I finished Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and its just as good. I wasn't thinking the second season was as good... but it got really good. I was team Raphael for a little while... but I'm back to team Michael. I feel bad though because I don't think Raphael will love anyone as much as he loves Jane... so thats kind of sad. The Kingsmen- So I was only half watching... some of this movie... but holy sh*t it was amazing! Its very violent... but I don't think it was violent in a bad way... they did it kind of strategically comical so it didn't totally appear as violent as it was. It was re...

So I really wanted to post the American Horror Story Rewatch yesterday... but that didn't happen and I didn't re-watch the Murder House episodes yet... so That will probably be tomorrow. I'm going to start doing those every other week. Right now I just kind of wanted a bit of a break... so I'll just tell you some things on my mind right now! 1) The TGIT Winter Finale's are tonight. I'm really excited! I'm especially excited for How To Get Away With Murder. That's my favorite... and I know Scandal is a better show than Grey's... but I always have fun watching Grey's. It isn't super serious, I can kind of half pay attention to it. 2) I'm doing something special on my beauty blog for december and I'm calling it the 12 days of Blogmas. I'm going to do a holiday look every other day in the month of December. And maybe I'll do something like that here too. 3) Don't protest Starbucks because of their holiday cups. My starbu...

So I woke up from a bad dream at like 5:40 last night (and by last night I mean Friday.) And this is just kind of what I started thinking about. So I had a dream that I was trying to figure out what movie characters I was like and for some reason the only character I could think of was Pennywise the Clown from It... which I am not in the least bit like thank god. I maybe also thought Owen Wilson... who is not an actual movie character... but I guess I'm more like him than Pennywise so that makes sense. Anyway then I woke up cause I was getting freaked out and I realized it was a dream... and then I didn't want to get back to sleep because I remembered Pennywise the Clown was a thing. And its weird that that caused me to stay up late... I'm not scared of clowns, I saw It in the daytime and it wasn't really that scary. The only part that really freaked me out was with the blood in the bathroom with the balloon. That and the writing "IT" on the wall are the o...
