Edition 56

1. Vanilla Beans - apparently right now is the perfect time to start making vanilla for other people’s Christmas gift

2. Kid’s Scissors - just videos full of Mom’s showing that the scissors don’t cut their hair. Cool but not relevant to me!

3. Bikini Trimmer - Every Time it’s an exotic dancer selling it so I HAVE to trust her of course

4. Sponge Art Thing - I don’t know what they are officially calling it but it’s literally drawing on a dry sponge and then you add water and it “puffs the art up.” I’m mad that this thing has purchases

5. The Pill Fidget - honestly nothing against this fidget toy but the price is insane

Unfortunately it is not really summertime anymore. But I have to deal with how Libby delivers a book to me! I’m ready for a spicy romance after my last read.

My last stop of Houston Restaurant Weeks was Marmo. I had a fabulous Bruschetta and Chicken Parmesan. Not pictured is my desert which was Olive Oil Cake. I felt it was the perfect time to try it because it felt like it was free (it wasn’t). The verdict is in: It’s alright. I probably would not get it again. The gelato and sauce that was with it was necessary to make it taste good. On it’s own it was just alright. It wasn’t disgusting but that is a pretty low bar for desserts.

Olivia Dean has been speaking to me lately! Her songs make me want to sway in the wind while wearing a sexy dress. That is the only way to describe it. She is performing at Austin City Limits and I’m so excited that I discovered her music beforehand.

Song Recommendation: Man I Need by Olivia Dean

Two of my regularly listened to podcasts have released major news about rebranding. Binchtopia is losing one of their hosts, Eliza. Celebrity Memoir Book Club is scrapping the memoirs and becoming a pop culture podcast. I will continue to listen to Binchtopia and hopefully it still hits. I’m so curious how it will be without her. I am not caught up with Celebrity Memoir Book Club, but when I finish the memoir episodes - I do feel that will be the end of my listening. I hear plenty of pop culture from my other podcasts.

An adult cartoon hates to see me coming! They are my guilty pleasure. Especially when they are created by the same people who brought us Bojack Horseman. The show is about three siblings and different parts of their life. It did not hit the same as Bojack but I was entertained! Max Greenfield plays one of the siblings and all I could hear was Schmidt.

If you have not watched this yet, what are you doing? Especially if the ending has not been spoiled for you. You will gasp. It is about a high school girl who is getting harassing text messages for about two years. If you are like myself you are probably wondering how that can be a crazy documentary but it indeed is. Trust me!

I am truly so proud of my clay magnets! I made these! Now I did go to an event where I was given all of the supplies which made things much easier but I feel like an artist! My take away from this art project is that oven bake clay is much easier to use and mold than air dry clay.

Every video I saw of Cardi B’s trial led me to wonder why on earth there was a trial. Why are we having questioning about her wigs and nails? Cardi was cleared on her charge and maybe everyone in the court just wanted to know the secrets of being a baddie.

NOT SPONSORED! But if you want to hit me up Byoma, I love your product. I figured since I now have a facial membership, I should go all out with my my skin care routine. I am going to figure out how to get perfect skin if it’s the last thing I do! I recently added this to my skin care routine and my skin is SOFT. One step closer to perfect skin! If you have skin care recommendations, please share on the Yapple instagram.

This is the ULTIMATE combo! If everyday I got a iced matcha latte and a sweet treat, I would be happy for the rest of my life. Especially because lately I have had intense cookie cravings. That may be due to the new NYT’s game Pips. When you get a good score they add a cookie emoji and therefore I am being reminded that I deserve a cookie!

This Yapper’s response says it all.
