1. Panda Express-Yummy! I have really been hooked on Panda Express Kung Pao chicken and I like to mix it with their brown rice. It is totally delicious, not to mention that my whole family can eat there for around $8. We get the three entree and split it, trust me it is plenty of food. If it is your first time trying out Panda Express you can ask them for samples to see what you like or want to try. Their Orange Chicken is also amazing and my daughter is obsessed with their green bean and chicken (she LOVES green beans).
2. Movie/Movies: Hotel Transylvania and Disney/Pixar's Inside Out. I could not pick between these two for this weeks spot...so I decided to put both, because why not? :D
Hotel Transylvania's sequel just hit theaters and so I had to re-watch the first one in preparation for going to see number 2! I am extremely excited about it. I am a HUGE Adam Sandler fan (especially when paired with Drew Barrymore) and really like most of the movies he is in. This one was no different. The characters are funny and unique (even though they used traditional monsters) which is pretty impressive. I also love the music in this movie. I totally have the song "The Zing Song" on my I-phone...I'm just saying. This movie was really awesome and I have high hopes for the second! :D
Inside Out was a very interesting movie that leaves you thinking. At least it left me thinking. This was a completely new and original idea (well, excluding Osmosis Jones and Magic School Bus) of characters having a story on the inside of another character. I think it was handled very well. Over all I do really like this movie. That being said, I found both of the main characters to be annoying. Joy was straight up rude to Sadness and Sadness was just...like all the worst traits of a depressed introvert who has been suffering from bullying her whole life (looking at you Joy). At the end they seem to settle their differences and learn to appreciate each other which was nice to see wrapped up.
This movie had some serious feels for me. The child (Riley) looks similar to my baby girl and I couldn't help but put her in Riley's shoes. All the adorable baby and toddler scenes and family events were really touching. I am sure this is why parents everywhere were able to fall in love with this movie. It was very touching and I love the idea of 5 emotions running peoples brains in a control center. I left the Theater thinking about which of my friends and family were ran by which emotion (lol). My friends say I must be ran by Joy, which I can totally see. My Husband is totally Anger and I think all of my best friends are ran by either Sadness or Joy. Anyways, I just got way too deep into this. Inside Out is a brilliant tear-jerker of a movie and everyone should watch it at least once!

3. Song: "One Man Can Change the World" by Big Sean. I do not normally like rap songs, but this one has a pretty strong message and to me sometimes lyrics are cool enough to trump the method of delivery. Also, this song is a shout out to his Grandma and I certainly can relate to that. My Grandma is my Best friend and my biggest supporter of everything I do. I love you Grandma!
4. Reddit! Yes, I FINALLY joined the world of Reddit and it's 1 gazillion Subreddits. I am still very new to it (I still have not figured out how to post adorable pictures of my kittens on the awww subreddit) and have a lot to learn but I love reading post and looking at pictures on it.
5. Game: Subnautica. I am the kind of girl that would much rather be doing something in real life over a video game, however, when the "real life version" is not an option at the moment then I enjoy them. Subnautica, in my words, is a scuba diving game with advanced technology and alien fish. You have to survive by catching food, not suffocating, and not being attacked by scary sharp-teeth fish. You also build bigger tools and gadgets and even an under water station all to help you better survive. Like Minecraft, I would much rather just swim around and collect a bunch of stuff rather than build anything, but hey, it has both elements to please gamers of all kinds. This game is very pretty and the different biomes can be really exciting when you swim up on one, and they are adding new things all the time. I have been playing this game for a few weeks now and really love it when I have time. If you like video games you should check it out! :D Here is a video on Youtube about it!
6. BBC's Sherlock Holmes: I love this show. As if Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in one show should not be enough of a reason to watch this then there is also the fact that Sherlock Holmes is an amazing classic that should be respected...by watching/viewing all reproductions. What I mean to say is...it is Sherlock Holmes! Mystery, intrigue, subtle humor, complicated romances, biting nails, and edge of your seat actiony YES! I will warn you that after you check out this series you will most likely be hooked and therefore be setting yourself up for surmountable pain...of waiting for the next season. 0.0
7.Trader Joes: My friend Nina and I are a little bit obsessed with Trader Joes (and I am slowly working on my other friends). They carry mostly amazing and healthy groceries at descent prices. I love their dried fruits, amazing frozen section, and fresh fruits and veggies. I have tried their dried apricots, coconuts, mangoes, pineapple, bananas, and apples slices and they have all been very yummy. My frozen food favorites are their Chinese chicken dumplings and Mochi! If you have never tried Mochi it is like a doughy ice-cream ball of yumminess.
8. Trivia Nights! I have hosted/participated in TWO Trivia Nights this Month and they were both a huge success (Fundraising wise) and LOTS of fun! You gather a team of 8 for a table and then put your wits to the test! Trivia is totally random and you never know what useless knowledge you have will come in handy! I mean, who knew I would totally rock a round about Dr. Suess and Halloween? And who knew I know almost nothing about our U.S. Presidents? Seriously, I couldn't even help with one question! If you ever get the chance to try out a Trivia night you totally should! Especially if it is for a Fundraiser or Charity! :D
