Well, Hello There

The grand idea to blog about my favorite books in 2017 popped into my head, then I (somewhat embarrassingly) realized I read maybe six non-school related books over the past year. Whoops, between college, working multiple jobs and wasting countless hours on the inter-webs, I neglected to show my book shelf some much needed love.   But, I did manage to sneak a few page-turners in from time to time. Here were a few of my favorites.   Anna Faris is Unqualified- Anna, Anna, Anna, I love you! Ever since Scary Movie I've had a soft spot in my heart for Anna Faris. Something about her resonated with me and my love for her was recently re-sparked upon discovering her podcast, "Unqualified". When I heard Anna wrote a book I knew I had to check it out. "Anna Faris is Unqualified" is a book about being the awkward teenager, cringe-worthy dates and an insiders perspective of the ugly side of Hollywood. A funny and relatable read, I burned through the book in less than

They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side. http://bit.ly/2E1Bx9I Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast! Don't make the same mistake as I did and be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online,but be wary, print is the only ticket option so be sure you have a printer handy. If you forget to buy tickets ahead of time or if you're printer is acting up(darn things, grrr) fear not, Lakefront now offers 20-minute "mini tours" Saturday evenings. Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the

Tarot, tarot everyday, tarot, tarot, hey hey hey! Pardon me if that first line seemed nonsensical to you, I was singing a little tune in my head and thought it had a nice ring to it. As may have guessed, today I want to talk about tarot. Unfortunately many people give tarot cards a bad rep. Hollywood demonizes them, religions frown upon them and many people don't know the first darn thing about em'. Well folks, I'm here to tell you everything you think you know about tarot is probably wrong. No, tarot cards will not depict your future, no they aren't evil and no they don't possess some sort of supernatural power. http://bit.ly/2n9OkfM The truth is, tarot cards are but only a humble deck of cards made of paper and ink. People who credit them with nasty hauntings or unfortunate events are simply giving these inanimate objects wayyy too much power. So, if they can't magically tell me my future, what's the point? I'm glad you asked. Tarot is not

Attending a midnight screening at the historic Oriental Theater is a Milwaukeean right of passage. Not only is the theater literally the definition of majestic AF, it's also Milwaukee's only operating movie palace. That's right, movie palace . Although it might not look like much from the outside, the inside of this beautiful theater is sure to impress with it's stained-glass chandeliers, giant porcelain lions, hand-drawn murals and six jumbo-sized Buddhas. The historic Oriental Theater is truly something to be seen. http://bit.ly/2mYWjNn http://bit.ly/2mYWjNn Now, back to the midnight showings. The Oriental screens cult classic films such as the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Room. However, this isn't your run of the mill movie-going experience, in fact, Rocky Horror has an entire crew of actors(in full-kinky attire) performing the film in real time as each scene plays out on a giant screen in the background. But the thing that makes these events extr

Another year, another batch of new cruelty-free products to review! In an attempt to rock my "natural glow" I've been trying to crack-down on establishing a daily skincare routine. Despite my attempts, my facial flaws haven't magically disappeared over the past month and a half, but what are ya gonna do. That doesn't mean I love my new stash of skin-nourishing, cruelty-free products any less. Because seriously you guys, this stuff is the bomb.com. Tarte Mascara- Lights, Camera, Lashes So, it's probably misleading of me to start this post with a rant about skincare and then talk about mascara, sorry about that! Don't say I didn't warn you, the subheading of this blog does say, "prepare for randomness." Anyways, I was given a sample of Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara and to my delight it's cruelty-free, huzzah! This stuff is five-star luxurious! The color is a lovely darker than dark shade of black and it has a special way o

Goddess Provisions- I stumbled upon Goddess Provisions whilst surfing the internet looking at monthly subscription boxes(which by the way is an extremely dangerous game, I want to buy them all!). My heart swooned the moment I landed on their homepage and I knew I had to do myself a favor and sign up immediately. Each month Goddess Provisions sends you a box full of goodies to help you get in touch with your higher-self and light up your soul. This includes things such as crystals, essential oils, cruelty-free makeup and delicious teas. I received my first box yesterday and was v. happy with the contents! http://bit.ly/2Aw6UDu Game of Thrones-  The first episode aired in 2011 and it's taken me this long to get on the bandwagon. However, now that I'm on it I'm in it to win it! I'm currently on season 6 and loving every gory, action-packed minute of it! http://bit.ly/2eP34Qy Fortnite-  Personally, I suck at the game. However, Fortnite easily took over my
