Thoughts On Stranger Things

The Netflix Original series Stranger Things made its debut last month, and I've heard nothing but great reviews about the show. It took me a while to finally hop aboard the viewing train, but after the first episode alone, it was enough to make a viewer want to marathon the whole thing at once. I kept my composure and maxed it to 2 episodes a day. The first season only has 8 of them, so getting through it quickly is totally doable. I'll try my best to not spoil it for those of you who have yet  to watch it (if you have Netflix, you really should get on it already. Really.) The fact that it takes place in the 80s is enough to stir up nostalgia for viewers like myself who were born in that decade. Love that Wynona Rider is back to acting, and she does an amazing job of it in this series. The young actors have amazing entertainment backgrounds, with the exception of one of them having their first gig ever with this show. Okay, that's all I'm going to say about it. They plan on making a Season 2, hopefully very soon. In the mean time, I'll probably keep cycling through the first one for as long as Netflix wants to keep it. If you really have nothing else to watch at the moment, this is something you shouldn't sleep on.

Hello Kitty Cafe Truck at Santana Row

Image
Before heading to a bbq in the afternoon, much of my morning was spent waiting for the Hello Kitty Cafe truck at Santana Row in San Jose. This was the 3rd of 4 stops it would be making in the Bay Area for April. It was at the Cherry Blossom Festival a few weeks prior. That was where I saw it for the first time last year. Long story short, I was the first person in line for their Northern California debut, and it was totally unplanned. I knew I'd be there early, but not so much that everyone else had no clue where to find them. Goes to show that researching ahead of time (and also several years of experience at SD Comic Con) pays off! Although I wasn't first this time, I did happen to be among the first 10 people in line. Lucky number 7 to be exact. 2 other friends joined me before the truck opened for business. I didn't have too much of a haul planned, but I did want to get my friend one of their mugs as a belated bridal shower gift. I also got her one of the cookie sets,...

Urban Decay Mini Haul

Image
I'm currently in the middle of a no-buy for this month. Been doing a-OK so far, but of course I have a list going of things I'd like to purchase once it's done. Here are a few items that I've purchased from Urban Decay's site last month. L-R: NAKED nail color in Instinct, Vice Liquid Lipstick in Amulet, Vice Liquid Lipstick in Trivial NAKED Nail Color in Instinct - When UD's nail color line released, this shade sold out for a while. It was finally re-stocked last month, so I made sure to jump on it. The shade, a medium pink taupe with hint of pearl, is very pretty. Now I know why it flew out of their inventory.  Vice Liquid Lipsticks in Amulet and Trivial - I didn't go overboard when the Vice Liquid Lipsticks came out, but I will say that these have awesome staying power and comfortable wear. I own Amulet in both tube and liquid forms because this brick rose shade is LIFE. You won't blame me once you see the swatch! Trivial is a pink nude, a...
