This Weeks Favorite

Book- What If...?
I read this recently and really liked it. It was basically a bunch of short stories written based on different prompts that started out with "What if...?". What I liked most about it is it sort of made me want to get back into writing.
Show/Movie- Pretty Little Liars
Now that I had finished Lie to Me and Gossip Girl I was at a loss for what to watch next. So when Pretty Little Liars appeared on my Recommended Shows on Netflix I decided to give it a try. Wow, my mind was blown. In a way I expected Pretty Little Liars to be a not as good Gossip Girl but boy was I wrong. It's just as good if not better than Gossip Girl but I still think they should have gotten Kristen Bell to be the narrator as "A". =p
Food- Waffles
Anyone who knows me should know that I love waffles. Not only do I love waffles but I love them way more than I like pancakes. The sad part though is that I almost never get to eat waffles because everyone else likes pancakes. At least my boyfriend lets me make waffles as long as I make him eggs and other stuff. 
Beauty- Remington Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron
I've been looking for a flat iron for a long time so I wouldn't have to borrow one all the time. Plus if I don't borrow one all the time I'm more likely to actually straighten my hair. Anyway, I finally bought one and I LOOOOVE it. It works really fast and even though there were some complaints in the reviews about it I haven't had a single problem yet.
Misc.-  Tights

I'm really unlucky with tights and whenever I buy new ones they always manage to rip. This time though I bought pretty good ones and they reminded me how much I love wearing tights! They're so comfy and they look great with so much! Too bad my cat dress is too short to wear comfortably now.

Random Thoughts

I'm finally back for real this time which means I'll be catching up on all of the reviews and things I've missed!

  • I have so many reviews to post up I think I should hire an assistant!
  • Next month I'm going to start my Facebook page and Instagram for my blog
  • My boyfriend lost his phone at the grocery store a couple of days ago but thankfully his new phone should arrive today
  • I got a new flat iron so I can't wait to feature that in my blog. Expect it for This Weeks Favorites ;)
  • I've also started Christmas shopping early this year! I'm thinking of putting together a subscription box type thing for my Mother-in-law and Stepmother. What about you guys? What are your gift ideas this year?
  • Thanksgiving is coming up next week! Luckily my boyfriend got the day off so we'll go half-and-half with our families. I'm going to make croquetas too! What are your plans and is there anything special you're looking forward to eating? I just love stuffing!

Book: The Nest: Newlywed Handbook
Even though I'm not married and I won't be for awhile I decided to pick up the Newlywed Handbook. I thought it was cute and a good edition for anyone really in a serious relationship. Plus it appeals to people of all kinds. It's not just a straight one way street where you have to do it one way or there's no hope. I don't read many books like this so I'm not sure if it's common but based on similar articles I've read it isn't so nice touch.
Movie/Show: Gossip Girl Season 6
This week the sixth and final season of Gossip Girl finally came out on Netflix. I have been waiting a long time for this season to come up so I was ecstatic to get the email that it was finally up. Compared to the last couple of Gossip Girl seasons this one is really shining through and I may like all of the characters more than I ever did before.
Food: China Buffet
This week my boyfriend took me out to eat. We ate at this buffet and I think this is going to become our little weekly tradition! Which is great since my boyfriend actually hates eating out. 
Beauty: Jane Tran Bobby Pins
Even though my PopSugar box came yesterday I used the bobby pins immediately to take to work, since at work my hair gets a disheveled and makes me look like a crazy person. What I loved about this bobby pins is they didn't move or displace themselves which is always a huge problem I have with these things. 

Misc: Pokemon X

With as much as I've talked about it the past 3 weeks were you really expecting something different? Anyway my lovely boyfriend stopped by Gamestop this morning, before work, to pick up these two gems then dropped mine off at my house. I've already started playing and from the first minute I was in love. Once I get far enough into the game I'll drop you guys a review!

Book: How to Love Italian Style

 I originally picked up this book because I heard a lot of bad things about it and I wanted to see just how bad it really was. My verdict; not that bad. I really liked it even though I can't say that I agreed with everything she said.




Movie/TV Show: My Cat From Hell

I really love cats. So when this show appeared on my recommended list for Netflix I jumped at the chance to watch. The best part about this show is that in watching it I learned a lot of tips and tricks to taking care of my own kitty.
Food: Smart Food Hummus Popped Chip
One thing I really love is hummus with pita chips, so when I found this snack I was ecstatic! They were extremely delicious and even better than the pop chips I tried last week. 

Beauty: Julep Nail Polish
I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has noticed or if it's just me but the Julep nail polish goes on better than any nail polish I've ever used. Plus it has a kind of oat like smell(or maybe that's just me). I've never been the type to like painting my nails but I may just start.

Miscellaneous: Nook HD
When things like e-books and e-readers first came around I was really against them. I found them really impersonal and I am a person that likes to feel a book in her hands. However now that I have a nook HD I can't put it down! At first my love for it was slow coming since I had a lot of books from the library I still had to read but now that I've started using it it's hard to imagine life without it. Now if only I could take out library books on my nook...
