Favorite Things- 2016

I kind of missed an entire year of favorite things. So, to sum up, here are my favorite things of 2016.

Bath/Body Products

One of my favs

I am obsessed with Lush bath bombs. They're on the expensive side (especially considering I can't actually fit my entire body in to my tiny bath) but they are wonderful and have made me love taking a bath.

I found a cheap foundation I really love Maybelline's Fit Me Matt & Poreless Foundation. Pretty much all I've had around me are drug stores and I'm just getting used to wearing makeup more frequently since High School, so this has been great.

Books

 

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness is a beautiful, wonderful, sad book that made me cry ugly tears at the end and now I have a slight hatred for the author for making that happen.

I probably would have more if I hadn't spent the year reading textbooks and if I had free time I watched TV instead. Next year.

TV

The Librarians is one of my favorite shows to watch. Which is surprising because it is fairly cheesy, but I love their adventures. The TV show is a spin off of The Librarian movies starring Noah Wyle. There is adventure, action, and I find them to be a lot of fun.

Stranger Things is a show pretty much everyone has talked about since it was added to Netflix. Because it is awesome. 1980's, nerdy kids, good music, and sci-fi are a lot of the things I love.

 I also have really liked watching Grand Tour, with the former hosts of Top Gear. I missed seeing them and was really excited when it was announced they were going to be on a new show. Sorry BBC, you effed up.

Movies

I haven't seen many movies this year, partially because they tore down my local movie theater to build a Meijer. And my rentals have been far and few between because, well... Netflix. But one new movie I did see this year was The Magnificent Seven. I love a good Western and it had been quite a while since I'd seen one. It's worth a watch.

Shameless Self-Promotion

Wait, how did that get here? But I truly do love my candles. Otherwise I wouldn't make them and use them every day. Really, it's an obsession. They're book/fandom/nerd themed. Occasionally I'll put up other stuff, like when I had dinosaur ornaments up for Christmas.

Other Stuff
I graduated with my Bachelor's degree! Cum Laude, bitches! The work to get my degree sucked but I'm glad I'm done with it.

I would probably have more but I have a child clinging to me and crying because I don't know why. I hope you had a good 2016 and will have a better 2017! Because the internet says 2016 was basically a dumpster fire of a year. I don't disagree that much, but some things were good at least!
