My Netflix Favorites

First of all, let me just explain that my Netflix queue (or My List, I liked queue so much better) causes me anxiety. Yep, that's right, actual anxiety. 

I don't know about you but I love Netflix! I'm a TV and movie junkie and Netflix just fuels that. However, there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to watch all the things I want to watch, therefore my queue just stacks up! It might sound crazy but I actually schedule times to watch certain things so I've accumulated quite a collection of favorites which brings me to the birth of this post! I'm going to share with you some of my current faves on Netflix as well as what's on the top pf  my watch list!

Scandal: If you don't know who Olivia Pope is I suggest you log on to Netflix right now and figure it out because she is ah-may-zing! Seriously, go!

New Girl: Not only does Zooey Deschanel make my heart melt as Jess but her gang of hilarious and loyal guy roommates makes me extremely jealous. It's worth the watch simply for Schmidt's one liners.

Greek: aka the show that made me so excited for college I couldn't stand it! While real life proved to be a little less exciting I oh so wish this show had stayed on air but I'm glad I get to relive the episodes while going through my own struggles in college now!

The Carrie Diaries: I would just like to state, for the record, that this show is absolutely amazing and dare I say just as swoon worthy as it's predecessor Sex and the City! Carrie Bradshaw as a teenager? What's not to love! 

Clueless: uh, favorite 90's movie of all time! Duh! 

You can't go wrong with a girls night flashback to Cher at the mall! 

21 and Over: My sister, her friend Ashley, and I watched this one night over summer break and it is hands down one of the funniest movies I've seen a long time. Plus, Skylar Astin from Pitch Perfect and Miles Teller from That Awkward Moment take the cake with this one! 

Sleepover: Who doesn't love this movie?! Alexa Vega and her friends take on the mean girl in an all night scavenger hunt that leads them to uber cute Steve Phillips aka Sean Faris. If you haven't seen this one then I really don't think your childhood was up to par. 

Wish Upon A Star: In case you haven't caught on, I love a good flashback and this movie goes old school all the way back to the Disney Channel's Original Movie of the month in 1996! Let's just say that Alexia Wheaton was one of my biggest inspirations growing up, you should probably watch this one to find out just how bad that really is...oh, did I mention that Alexia is played by none other than Katherine Heigl?!

Orange is the New Black

Is it just me or is everyone talking about this show? I am dying to see it!

Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23

All I know is James van der Beek apparently plays an exaggerated version of himself in this and I love my little Dawson Leery so much that I just have to see it for myself! 

Dexter

I use to watch Dexter all the time but let it slip away from me when I started college so it's been on my list to start up again for a long time. I can't wait to see how it ends!

Side Effects

Four words: Jude Law, Channing Tatum...and that's pretty much it!

Black Fish

This is at the very top of my list of documentaries to watch but I'm saving it because I'm afraid I might break down in tears when they go into the cruelties these animals face. If you thought you loved Sea World as much as I did you might want to take a look at this movie. 

The Iron Lady

This probably seems really random but I'm a History major and I've been dying to see this movie ever since my British History prof recommended it while she was lecturing on British Prime Ministers. I'm in love with everything Meryl Streep does so I'm sure her turn as Margaret Thatcher will not disappoint.

That doesn't even begin to touch on the massive list but I hope you've enjoyed this peek at what I'm watching and I hope it's given you a few suggestions. 

Let me know in the comments if you like any of these as much as I do or if you have more suggestions for me!

until next time, darlings.

What We Love Wednesday!

We've decided to turn this dreary, cold day around and deem it,

What We Love Wednesday!

On Wednesdays we'll take turns showcasing things we've absolutely fallen in love with this week, from beauty and hair care to tv shows and new music we've got products across the board. 

Here is what I'm loving this week:

Beauty Products

My beauty favorites this week both just so happen to be sample sized products that pack a huge punch. 

I scored the Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up! in my Sephora Beauty Insider's birthday gift! Which is just the greatest thing ever because it included this amazing highlighter! I've used this for everything, a highlighter on my cheeks and brow bone as well as an eyeshadow and under my lipstick. This is an amazing product and I can't wait to find even more uses for it!

I'm a girl that just can't find the right moisturizer for my face...that is until now. I found this Pond's Crema S Nourishing Moisturizing Cream in the travel size products at Walmart for like $1 something. It's 1.75 oz. of amazing moisturizing power! It leaves my skin hydrated but not oily and I can put it on at any point during the day and be good to go. 

Hair Products 

I've just been obsessed with my hair lately so that can definitely be added to the list of things I love. This is going to sound like a shameless brag but here we go: it's been so soft, easy to style, and has reached a really good length as of lately but I'm betting the products I'm using are probably why I love it so much so we'll get to those instead. 

I am obsessed with the DryBar VIP Pack and when I say obsessed I mean it. Every product in this pack from the Southern Belle Volumizing Mousse (how perfect!!!), Detox Dry Shampoo, and Money Maker Flexible Hairspray is to die for and gives instant, big hair results! My hair has never looked better and I will most definitely be picking up these products in a larger size very, very soon!

Remember that shameless brag? Well, I thoroughly believe it was possible because of the L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair-5 Damage Erasing Balm. That's a mouthful but it's also insanely worth it because this product seriously does what is says it will. I've only used this hair mask/balm twice and I've already seen a dramatic difference in my hair. That's right, results after just two uses! My hair is silky smooth, shiny, and practically damage free seriously. This product is at the very top of my list of recommendations.

The Randoms

Paramore: Grow Up

As weird as it sounds, this song just says so much about my life lately. I definitely suggest listening to it simply for the fact that the lead singer, Hayley Williams is the epitome of girl power!

Lupe Fiasco featuring Ed Sheeran: Old School Love

I just recently discovered this song and I am already obsessed with it! It's fantastic and you should go listen to it right now! 

Ed Sheeran has the voice of an angel...and I would know because I saw him live with Taylor Swift on the Red Tour last year! He's amazing and so is this song so be prepared to fall in love.

Scandal

As I am a History/Political Science major it should come as no shock to you that I am a political junkie. This show revolves around a public relations/communications expert who works in Washington, D.C. (she may have slept with the President too) and helps to solve and spin serious issues for some seriously high profile clients. I started this show on Netflix and finished the season in record time so now I'm watching it on ABC Thursday at 10pm so you should check it out!

Magnum Gold Ice Cream

I am an ice cream addict and have fallen in love with this particular brand. 

Aside from the ice cream literally being gold even the packaging makes it sound absolutely delicious. I mean who could resist "vanilla bean ice cream with a sea salt caramel swirl dipped in a golden chocolatey coating."

No one, that's who! This stuff is amazing and you need it in your life now!

Happy Wednesday, lovelies, you've made it halfway to the weekend!
