What I've Been Watching

There's a bug going around and I am currently getting over it.
So I've been drinking lots of homemade green juice (recipes coming soon!) and binge watching a lot of tv and movies.
Here is what I've been watching:

1. Girlboss (Netflix)- this was such an easy show to watch and I finished it in two days.  Sometimes I like to watch fluff and this was perfect for it, plus it helped me get my butt in gear to blog again.

2. Before I Wake (Netflix)- Starring Kate Bosworth and that awesome Canadian kid Jacob Tremblay, I think he is just fantastic.  This movie was weird, really different concept for a scary movie but I liked it!

3. How I Met Your Mother (Netflix)- I never stop watching this show, it's one of those shows I've watched so many times now and can just have it on in the background but not worry about missing anything because I know what happens.

4. Lights Out- This is one of my favorite scary movies ever because it touches on mental health and I just felt like I could relate in away.  Plus I love Teresa Palmer.

5. Drugs Inc (Netflix)- Do I need to really justify this? I love shows like this and Border Security.

6. 10 Cloverfield Lane (Netflix)- John Goodman as a creepy guy? I love it! Such an odd movie but I couldn't stop watching it! I was not expecting the ending to turn out the way it did.

7. Dark Skies- Another scary movie...sensing a theme? I haven't watched this in a while but I've been yearning to, I just love it.  If you haven't seen it I don't want to spoil it, but I think the topic was done really well.

8. The Duff- Another fluff movie :)

9. Nerve- This movie was weird but kind of cool and scary if that was actually something I was a part of.  Not sure if it's actually a recommendation, but it definitely kept my attention.

10. Gilmore Girls (Netflix)- Duh.

Hopefully everyone avoid this awful cold going around and enjoy the rest of your week!

What's On Television?

Hey Guys,

Enjoy this picture of a new cute puppy:

What is everyone watching on television nowadays? Or does everyone just watch Netflix?

I don't have cable, so I'm curious.

I might get cable when the Fall premiers begin...
Mostly for American Horror Story.

It seems like every show I like gets cancelled.
Last year I was really into "Witches of East End" but it didn't last long.

As for current tv I really enjoy watching "Chasing Life" and "Border Security" when I can.

Other than that, I live off of Netflix.

This Summer I've had marathons of "House" and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager".  I can always watch "Gilmore Girls" but I prefer watching it during Autumn the best along with "Gossip Girl".  I watched "Gossip Girl" back in the day and only make it to the third season, right now I'm on season 5 and am so excited to see the end!
But I did ruin it for myself and read spoilers...
My boyfriend and I also got into "Wet, Hot, American Summer:First Day of Camp". Pfffft!

As for movies?
"How to Train Your Dragon", "Shrek" and the random horror movies Netflix has have been favorites.

What are you watching or what are your Netflix picks?

Where's the Teen Drama?

While I plan my next post (this one) I am sitting on an uncomfortable, ferry seat, smelling delicious but terrible for you french fries and listening to children scream.
I hope I've planted that image into your head while you read this.

Should this be a haul post? I just did some damage in The City so it could be.
Do I bring up the subject of how I can't find a good drama on television anymore?

I finished "Gilmore Girls", again. I wish I counted how many times I've watched the series (I lost count at 7 back in 2013).

I've moved onto "The O.C." and I am currently on season 4 (the episode where Ryan & Taylor go to the alt-world, hilarious). Also, Boyfriend and I are re-watching "Breaking Bad" at bedtime (forgot how much I love that show).

I have plenty of comedy shows in my life, my favorites right now are "The Mindy Project" and "The Office".  But I'm craving that teen drama I've watched in the past (The O.C., 90210, Gossip Girl etc)

They just don't make them like they used to.

Well, there's a slight fog over the island that is my home.  I estimate 30 more minutes on this vessel. 

And all I've done is complain again.

Have a wonderful Easter!

The 'Me Time' Tag!

Happy Monday!
Honestly? I hate Mondays.  They mean getting up early, going to work and coming home tired.
At the end of a long day there are things I like to do to unwind, so why not share them through a tag?

What do you watch or read during me-time?
I love watching "Gilmore Girls" to unwind. I'm scared my dvds are going to burn out by how much I watch this show.
I'm currently reading "Let it Snow" by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle, it's a light Christmas-y read!

What do you wear during me-time? 
My polka dot pajama pants and a cozy sweater.

What are your me-time beauty products?
I love face masks. Currently I've been into Lush's Magnaminty. My skin is so soft after using this! And sometimes I'll give myself a pedicure, I currently have Essie's "Tuck in my Tux" on my toes.

Current favourite nail polish? 
Whoops! I answered this above. Essie's "Tuck in my Tux", it's from the 2014 Winter collection.

What do you eat/drink during me-time? 
I like to have popcorn as a bedtime snack and Boyfriend I have been drinking David's Tea "Earl's Garden" tea which is just an Earl Grey tea.


Current favourite candle?
This is the hardest question as I absolutely love candles (that's a Pisces for you). I'm going to go with Bath & Body Works Warm Sugar Vanilla three wick candle.  It just relaxes me and smells so good.

Do you ever have outdoor me-time? 
I used to go running as a stress reliever, but I've been slacking in that department so no outdoor me-time for me.
 

Would you ever go see a movie alone? 
Of course! I've done it twice and had the best time. The movies were "Whip It" and "The Vow", in case you were wondering. And I saw "The Vow" on Valentine's Day to top it off!


Favourite online shop?
Well, I do love shopping on Sephora's site, it's a nice way to unwind.

Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time? 
Watch youtube videos, read blogs and watch Boyfriend play video games.

I hope you have a super Monday and I'll talk to you again on Wednesday!

Fall Decorating

Well folks, Fall is less than a month away now and September is in 3 days.
So in anticipation for Fall I'm reorganizing and decorating!

 This is all the Fall stuff I've collected over the past year. And there's more in boxes but that's mostly baking things.

 Starting from the left is a candy corn candle I got from Pier One, they're only a buck so I need to get more. It's probably the best smelling candle. In the back is a vase that I filled with plastic fall jewels from Michaels and then just some fake leave tucked in there. And an owl candle I found at HomeSense that I don't want to burn.

 A few Bath and Body Works candles from a sale they had this summer, Autumn Day, Harvest Coffee and Pumpkin Cupcake.

 This wooden pumpkin is from Michaels and the candle beside it is vanilla and it's from Homesense.

 Here's a close up of the little pumpkin charm on the vanilla candle. I want to make a necklace out of it.

 Some more Bath & Body Works candles (Pumpkin Apple, Farmstand Apple and a mini Autumn Day), the mini pumpkin candle holder is also from there.

I'm in the middle of trying to make some artwork for Fall but it's not going so well, so I'm sure I'll be making another trip to Michaels soon.

While all this has been going on I've been playing movies and tv shows that remind me of Fall like "Hocus Pocus", "Gilmore Girls" and "You've Got Mail".

I'm still working on tomorrows five but there will be one.
Enjoy the long weekend!
