T-Shirt Time

T-Shirt Time

Hi! I recently enjoyed a shopping trip with my brother to Belden Village Mall as he had some gift cards to spend and I am always down to browse. It was honestly crazy being at a mall because it is the last place I think of when I want to shop. You all know that I am a TJMaxx girl! However, I think my extensive tenure working retail at Summit Mall more than makes up for my lack of going now considering I basically lived there lol. We hit up a couple of stores at Belden Village and had a great time seeing what’s good. I’ve got to give credit when it’s due because their Hot Topic ruled and I just could not say no to these hilarious graphic Ts:

When I saw the I ❤ Hot Dads shirt a la Twilight on display, I literally clutched my pearls. I am very familiar with the Twilight franchise as I had a client who adored it and, I’ll tell you what – I sure do love those hot dads lol. Sweet Charlie and Carlisle are never far from my mind and have always ranked high in my hot dad category so it’s nice to have a shirt to celebrate that. It really is too funny and I cannot wait to see the reaction I get when I wear it out in public. Twilight fans UNITE! I didn’t think it was possible that this shirt would continue to give to me but then I noticed what was underneath them on the shelves and truly couldn’t believe my eyes…

There were Supernatural shirts!!! I have another client who got me and Johnny hooked on Supernatural and we have been loving watching a couple of episodes every night. Supernatural is essentially just CSI but with ghosts with episodes that are jam packed with humor, crappy effects, and mystery. It’s a blast! Johnny and I have actually looked up Supernatural Ts before but all of them pale in comparison to the one I found at Hot Topic. It reminds me of those tie dye shirts of wolves howling at the moon at different angles and it cracks me up. I was beyond excited to show Johnny as soon as he got home and we have decided to schedule who gets to wear it and when lol. What can I say? We’re super Supernatural fans!

Shout out to Hot Topic for gifting me with these Little Treat Ts. I am obsessed!

Do you like to shop at the mall? What’s your favorite store? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Anime Club

Anime Club

Hi! My brother, Andrew, is an avid fan of anime and turned me on to so many great shows like Demon Slayer, Black Clover, and The Promised Neverland to name a few. We are always gabbing about our current anime line up, what we plan on watching next, and the releases of new seasons of our favorites. And, now, we have a brand new group to share in our love for anime too! There are so many wonderful local libraries in my neck of the woods that offer amazing programs for adults, teens, and children. One of the newest additions being an anime club for adults that meets once a month. We have been going regularly for about four months now and we both look forward to it because it is a total blast!

At anime club we watch a few episodes of a show while enjoying a Japanese snack, have a discussion, and then do a craft themed around whatever show we were introduced to. For two hours, we are immersed in our world of imagination with like minded individuals and it’s such a treat. It’s also a thrill to check out new shows that we might not have watched before. For example, during our second meeting we watched the first three episodes of My Hero Academia and I was immediately hooked. Since then, I have been watching an episode every morning while I eat my breakfast and I just can’t get enough. It is SO good and I’m already halfway through season three. I look forward to my viewings every day. 😀

While some animes have been a hit with me at our meetings, some of them are a miss and that’s truly okay! Last week we dabbled in Jujutsu Kaisen which I have always been interested in but never bothered watching. During our screening, I learned that it was not my bag whatsoever and it was no harm no foul because I could move onto something different. Regardless of if I would continue the show on my own or not, it’s so exciting to watch something new. To experience different styles, stories, and characters and getting into the nitty gritty of what we liked and didn’t with our group allows for the best conversations. I am already chomping at the bit for our August get together!

Long live libraries!!! Thanks to Anime Club my brother and I have both made new friends, found new shows, and get to spend time with people who share our passion. It is just the best!

Do you attend any programs at your local library? What kind of events does your library offer? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

What Have We Been Watching?

What Have We Been Watching?

Hi! As soon as I get home from work, mine and Johnny’s routine goes like this: Chat about our day and then turn on our shows! There is literally nothing better than sinking into the couch with my main squeeze and watching one of our programs together and I revel in it every day. It’s so nice to kick my feet up, relax, and let the stress of the work week melt away as we get lost in something good and it is one of my favorite things in the world. ❤ Our current lineup consists of the following:

Supernatural:

One of my client’s all time favorite shows is Supernatural and the odds and ends I have seen were intriguing. So much so, that Johnny and I recently decided to give it a go. There are fifteen seasons of Supernatural and after watching just one episode together, we couldn’t believe we hadn’t watched it before! Supernatural is the saga of ghost hunters and brothers, Sam and Dean, who travel across the country solving murders with a paranormal aspect. It is basically CSI but with ghosts and we are so there for it! This show is hilarious and has amazing eye candy a la Dean and we are completely hooked. Also, if you are a fan of the show and didn’t know – the guy who plays Dean is in a band called Radio Company and they freaking RULE. You are in for a treat if you give them a listen because holy cow Dean has some PIPES!!!

Blockbuster:

Johnny and I simply adore a workplace comedy and enjoyed watching and rewatching the one season Blockbuster on Netflix. This show revolves around the last Blockbuster left standing and the irony is not lost that Netflix drove Blockbuster out of business lol. I so wish that this show didn’t get cancelled because it really is fun. The cast is an utter delight, the laughs are nonstop, and seeing a Blockbuster again hits right in the nostalgia. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick and funny watch but don’t get too attached lol our viewings have only left us wanting more!

From:

We are avid fans of From and, I have to admit, we found season four to be kind of a dud. However, we went through serious withdrawals after it ended and decided to rewatch it as we eagerly await the fifth and final season. I’m really glad we are because I didn’t realize how much I had forgotten about the early seasons. So much so, that it kind of feels like watching it again for the first time. It is SO crazy to be back at the beginning and see how young everyone looks and pick up on things that we missed from our first experience with the show. I am highly disappointed in season four, but maybe it will be a bit better the second time around.

Obsession:

Watching movies doesn’t happen as often at chez nous because Johnny always falls asleep during them lol. But watching Obsession was a must as soon as it was released on Peacock! I hadn’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it in theaters and was chomping at the bit for him to see it too. Granted, we did pause halfway through so he could take a nap (no surprise there) but he loved it just as much as I did when we finished it. We both agreed that Obsession is, easily, one of the best recent horror movies out there and it was a triumph. The story line? Gripping. The acting? Unbelievable. The scares? Can’t be beat! I could watch it again and again and not grow tired of it. In fact, maybe I’ll give it a rewatch this weekend while Johnny snoozes!

TV time is the best time at my place and I can’t wait to see what Sam and Dean of Supernatural get into when I get home today!! 😀

What are you currently watching? Do you have any recommendations? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Double OOTD Bloopers

Double OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reels from my Sporty Spice and The Devil Wears This OOTD! Today we are going to get a double dose of yikes jam packed into one silly post. I don’t know about all of you, but these past few weeks have been super busy for yours truly and I could certainly wind down with a laugh! Or sleeping for twenty hours straight? The laughing part seems much more realistic, though, so let’s get to it:

A sucking on a lemon or something stank face lol either/or works

I’m gonna getcha!!!

Sheer determination to poorly strike this pose

When the screen freezes on a video call

WERKING IT in work out gear

How I feel about working out in general

I swear to high I’m not god

The Blooper Reels are all about having some fun and discussing humorous and/or cringy moments in my wonderful world. In this instance, it errs on the side of cringy because I can’t think of anything more cringe than the current season of Euphoria. Lol, who’s with me?! I was so eager for season three of Euphoria to drop and have watched each new episode every Monday morning before work. It’s my little ritual: Work from home, make some breakfast, watch my show, then head to a client’s house. Normally, I revel in my TV time to take a breather. However, when Euphoria is on, I honestly can’t wait for it to be over. It’s that bad but I refuse to not see it through!

Like, guys, wtf even? Rue is running with drug dealers, Maddy and Cassie are striking OnlyFans fame, Nate borrowed money from the wrong guys, and Lexi still sucks. Annnnnd that’s about it. Every episode is a combination of boring and sheer nonsense and it’s like what happened?! The only relatively good part of this new season was Alamo’s backstory but other than that my Monday morning viewings are an exercise in self control to not turn the TV off. Maybe the season finale will wow me but I highly doubt that and if there is a season four, I most definitely won’t be tuning in. Whomp whomppppp.

Between the bloopers and a dud of a highly anticipated show, this was a double cringe post. But a Euphoria rant needed to be said and I stand by it!

What are your thoughts on season three of Euphoria? Has something cringy happened to you recently? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

What Have We Been Watching?

Hello!! There is literally nothing better to me and Johnny than sitting down after work and watching TV. It’s our favorite way to unwind after a long day and I always look forward to our evening entertainment. We have a handful of shows that we have been cycling through and maybe you’ll enjoy them too! Let’s discuss:

My Hero Academia:

Johnny is not an anime fan in the slightest but I SO am. In fact, my brother and I recently started going to an anime club at the library to watch new shows and chat it up with likeminded individuals. During our last meeting we watched the first few episodes of My Hero Academia and I freaking loved it. So much so that I have been watching an episode every morning since while I eat my breakfast.

Long story short, the anime is basically like a superhero comic book. Children are born with powers or “quirks” as they call them and spend their days training to become a pro superhero. Our protagonist, Deku, was born with no quirks but it’s his dream to become a hero even without a special power. My Hero Academia follows his from zero to hero plot line and it is a delight! Action packed, hilarious, and heartwarming – this anime has got it all!

Farmer Wants A Wife:

Lololol. Johnny and I originally started watching season one of Farmer Wants A Wife as a joke. Then, somewhere along the way, it turned into one of our favorite dating shows. We are currently watching season four as it airs and it’s exactly what you would expect if you have seen the show before… Girls in terrible outfits trying to woo a farmer through hard work on their land and competing for fleeting moments of their attention. Is it stupid? Absolutely! Are we going to continue watching it for forever? ABSOLUTELY.

The Last Kingdom:

We watched The Last Kingdom when we first started dating and both agree that is superior to Game Of Thrones. Yeah, I said it! We decided to start watching it again from the beginning so we can finally watch the movie that ties the series together. The Last Kingdom is all about the Saxons and Danes as they fight for power across England. Every episode is full of surprises and the man candy of Uhtred is especially nice! I have forgotten a majority of this show and it feels like watching it for the first time. I am so glad we’re giving it another go and love our nightly viewings of an episode or two.

From:

I have wanted to watch the horror series From for ages and we finally began watching it about a month ago. Mere seconds into the first episode we were completely in and devoured the first three seasons. Now, sadly, we have to wait for the weekly new episode installment of season four and it sucks. I just want to binge watch it all!

The premise of From goes like this… A family is driving to a vacation destination when they come across a tree in the road causing them to turn around and find another way. Rather than hitting the highway, they come across a rundown town and continue to return to it. Eventually, they realize they are stuck with the townspeople in a place they can’t leave. What’s more, monsters come out at night slaying everyone in their path. From is twisty, turny, and harrowing and it is my new favorite show. The acting is sublime, the plot is so intriguing, and I’m constantly on pins and needles for what’s going to happen next!

It’s always fun to dive into a new series and you are in for a treat if you give any of these shows a go. They are great!

What are you currently watching? What was the last show you binge watched? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Makeup Magic OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Makeup Magic OOTD! I would never consider myself a makeup girl and much prefer purchasing clothes and shoes instead. However, if someone else is doing my makeup then that’s a totally different story! I had such a delightful time getting my face beat by my makeup artist friend who works at MAC. She did a bang up job and I was SO impressed with her skills because Lil Red could NEVER lol. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to recreate the MOTD she made up on a whim. Although I was feeling myself in a major way after my makeup was done, yikes shots are always going to happen during an OOTD shoot! Take a look:

Serving face but not in the good way. Also why is my hair ALWAYS sticking up?!

Strike a pose there’s nothing to it – VOGUE

The faraway look of a hungry girl who can’t wait to eat at Buca Di Beppo

Whoopsie! I actually kind of like this picture lol

Makeup: 10. My face: -5

I am SO beautiful ❤

My Johnny and I very much enjoyed the horror series, Welcome To Derry, and were yearning for another scary show to sink our teeth into. I have always wanted to watch From as I have heard nothing but good things about it and we finally started watching it two or so weeks ago. All I have to say is: Holy shit. Lol that show is freaking nuts and we cannot get enough! I look forward to watching an episode or two every day after work and genuinely feel sad when it’s time to start heading to bed. This is the most binge worthy series I have watched in a long time and I highly recommend it to any horror fan.

To make a long story short, people who are traveling end up in a town they can’t escape from and creatures come out at night. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, the plot is insane, and the acting is sublime. It’s hard to put a tally on how many times Johnny and I say “wtf” when we are watching From but I would put it in the twenties, bare minimum. We’re honestly two of the most obnoxious TV watchers on the planet but it’s hard to not vocalize it because, I repeat, wtf with that show lol. If you are looking for a twisty, spooky tale that warrants a wtf every five to seven minutes, then you have got to give it a try! 😀

Wtf with From and wtf with these bloopers! Have a laugh and then have a scare because you will be hooked after one episode!

Have you watched From? What do you think of it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Faux Fur Fierce OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Faux Fur Fierce OOTD! These pictures were taken as soon as I returned home from getting my hair done and I am SO in love with the results. I always say that every time my stylist does my hair is my favorite but I honestly think this Spring Sunset palette takes the cake. It is just so good and I legit will never be over it. We like to change up my hair at every appointment but these new colors might have to stick around for a while because I can’t get enough! Unlike my fabulous new do, these yikes shots leave a lot to be desired lol check it out:

Sending come hither vibes

New hair got me like

Lol I love these stiletto mules but they kept getting stuck in the wooden walkway smh

Johnny told me my vest looked like Chewbacca SO sweet ❤

How YOU doin?

I think all the bleach went to my head!

I don’t know about all of you, but Johnny and I LOVE watching game shows. Whether it’s Jeopardy, Family Feud, The Floor, or The Quiz With Balls we just have a blast playing along and revel in our success when we get answers right. Our newest favorite game show has got to be The Greatest Average American hosted by Nate Bargatze. We are avid fans of his comedy and were completely hooked after a few minutes of watching the first episode. The game is all about thinking like the average American when it comes to questions like “If you weren’t going to get injured, what would make the best story?” with options like getting struck by lightening, falling from a plane, or getting swept up in a tornado. If you answer in line with the people questioned, you are one step closer to winning the average American salary of $67,920. Even this amount is funny because classic game shows offer one hundred grand at least!

For the past several Thursdays we watch The Greatest Average American as soon as I get home from work and it’s just the best. Thursdays are my long days and I love being able to shake it off by tuning into something interactive and hilarious. Our favorite part of the show has got to be when Nate has to complete physical challenges including throwing footballs from a recliner or hitting wiffleballs into the audience. The piece de resistance, however, is Nate’s Favorite Things. Should the contestant win the grand prize, the audience wins one of Nate’s Favorite Things. It could be a Stouffer’s meal, an Uncrustable, or a package of Red Vines. Johnny and I would have loved to score the Applebee’s gift card as, like Nate, we appreciate a Middle Class Fancy meal too. 😀

If you are in the mood to have some fun, I can’t recommend The Greatest Average American enough. You will be in stitches!!

What is your favorite game show? Do you have weekly shows to tune into? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Cute In K-Pop OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Cute In K-Pop OOTD! As you all know, not every picture taken is going to be a winner and rather than instantly hit delete, I like to celebrate them. For every good picture I take, there are several bad ones to go along with it and I never miss an opportunity to poke some good old fashioned fun at myself. They may be yikes shots, but they are my yikes shots so let’s check them out and have a laugh:

Why isn’t everyone posing like this when they get engaged?

Ha ha ha ha ha…. NO!

Scratching at my imaginary beard

Holding my imaginary ball

The literal face of oopsie daisy!!

Lol say cheeeeeeese!!!!

While bloopers are a sure fire way to make me laugh, the most common way that Johnny and I get our yucks is through workplace comedies. We just love them! Like many people, shows like The Office, Parks & Rec, and Superstore are consistent background noise at chez nous when we are just hanging out or going to bed. However, we have seen each of those shows a thousand times apiece and needed something different. Thankfully, I feel like we are in a workplace comedy renaissance because we have added so many to our roster and have really been enjoying them.

For the past several months, Johnny and I have been watching Stumble, St. Denis Medical, Abbott Elementary, Animal Control, Strays, and Shelved. I actually don’t normally care to watch a lot of different shows at once because it’s so much to keep up with. But all of these are so funny that I’ll give it a pass! With a majority of these programs currently airing on TV, it gives us a daily show to look forward to and it has been so nice – especially since The Traitors and my beloved Olympics are all done. These shows have been the perfect way to settle in after work and no matter what the day has been like, we are always ending it in stitches!

If you haven’t given any of the above workplace comedies a try, we can’t recommend them enough. They are a hoot!

What is your favorite workplace comedy? Do you have a favorite game show (We are loving The Greatest Average American!)? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

What Have We Been Watching?

Hi! It has been colder than a MF in the A-K-Rowdy and it’s literally painful to be outside. Snow + single digit temps = me not leaving the house. Wow, I’m great at math! This is the kind of weather to do nothing but stay inside during and I’m honestly so fine with it. I can always get down with hibernating AKA watching TV all day, cuddling in a heated blanket, and only getting up from the couch when I require the bathroom lol. We have definitely been glued to the TV and will dethaw in the spring. Until then, we’ll stay posted up watching the following:

The Traitors:

My blogging bestie and I are not only Gemini Twins but TV Twins too. We love watching the same documentaries, reality shows, and just pure fun shows together then spending all Saturday afternoon discussing them over FaceTime. During our last chat she did the best job that she could have at describing The Traitors to me and the conversation ended with “you just have to watch it”. So we did and we are addicted! I am a huge fan of a good whodoneit and that is The Traitors to the T. A houseful of C-list celebrities with three “traitors” and the remainder being “faithfuls”. It is up to the faithfuls to determine who the traitors are as they “murder” off the housemates one by one. There are challenges, round table detective sessions, and the incomparable Alan Cumming as the host. This show is a complete blast and they are actually casting regular people in the next season. I plan on applying so maybe you’ll see me on there! Hey, it doesn’t hurt to try. 😀

Teen Wolf:

If you follow me on Facebook (Sarah Mushenheim) then you already KNOW that I am obsessed with MTV’s Teen Wolf series. It’s so damn good and I genuinely can’t believe that I haven’t given it the attention it deserves until now. My client got me hooked and I look forward to watching an episode or two every morning. Long story short: Teenage boy gets bitten by werewolf, teenage boy falls in love with girl, girl’s family are werewolf hunters. It might sound like your classic run of the mill show directed to teenagers but it’s very dark and very well done. The actors are also excellent! Hello baby Dylan O’Brien and holy hot-tastic Tyler Hoechlin. On a separate note, I can’t wait to see Dylan O’Brien in Send Help – my mind was blown when I realized it was Stiles!

The Goldbergs:

Before bed Johnny and I will usually put on Superstore, Abbott Elementary, or The Office. We have also enjoyed watching Stumble, Animal Control, and St. Denis Medical. Johnny suggested The Goldbergs as our new pre-bed show and it has just been okay for me. He knows how much I adore Wendi McLendon-Covey in legit everything she does (St. Denis Medical included!) and thought it would be a good match as she plays the Goldberg family matriarch. Despite my deep love for her and Jeff Garlin as the father, there is just something about this show that I can’t get into. Normally, the shows we like to watch have me in stitches no matter how many times I’ve seen each episode. The Goldbergs is lucky to get one chuckle every time we watch it! I am a fan of the parents and, of course, Big Tasty but the rest of the cast leaves a lot to me desired and also the kid that plays Adam annoys me so much lol. Not my favorite and wouldn’t recommend it!

Documentaries:

It’s no surprise that your favorite armchair detective delights every time a new documentary is out and my blogging bestie and I watch them immediately. We recently finished season two of Shiny Happy People, and breezed through the new Elizabeth Smart documentary on Netflix as well as The Cult of The Real Housewife. All of them were great and the perfect bite size documentaries to watch in one sitting as they’re either three episodes long or a little longer than an hour and a half. Unfortunately, we watch the new docs so quickly that we run out and are left with nothing. We would love some recommendations – the dishier the better. 😀

It’s so nice to return home from work, put a show on, and relax the evening away with our beloved TV to keep us company! ❤

What have you been watching lately? Are there any new shows you are looking forward to? (I can’t wait for the America’s Next Top Model documentary!) I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

What Have We Been Watching?

Hi! Johnny and I have basically every streaming service known to mankind and it is both a blessing and a curse. Does anyone feel like there are endless options on streaming services and seemingly no options? Lol, that’s usually where we’re at and just end up putting on comfort shows. However, our tune has recently changed and we have been watching several new to us shows that we are really enjoying. HBO Mondays have become our tradition and I look forward to it every week! Let’s discuss:

The Chair Company:

This show is so weird lol. Long story short, a guy with a big new job gives a fantastic introductory speech. He sits down afterwards and his chair breaks. Then, he slowly descends into madness and unlocks a huge conspiracy about the chair company that was the source of his embarrassment. It’s usually pretty funny with a VERY healthy dose of “wtf?”. I think Johnny is liking this show more than me but it is entertaining enough and already has a second season locked down. Whatever happens is sure to be ridiculous and also big shout out to The Chair Company as its location is in Canton, Ohio. That’s about twenty minutes from me!

Welcome To Derry:

The piece de resistance of our TV time has got to be Welcome To Derry, a prequel to Stephen King’s “It”. Now, this is what I’m talking about! As soon as I get home on Mondays, I cannot wait to watch Welcome To Derry. The episodes are scary, the kids it revolves around are adorable and hilarious, and the acting simply can’t be beat. The performances in this show are absolutely mesmerizing. Chris Chalk as Dick Hallorann steals every scene he is in and just pulls you into the horror of the situation at hand. If you are looking for an excellent horror series then I truly can’t recommend Welcome To Derry enough.

St. Denis Medical:

Johnny and I are avid fans of NBC workplace comedies and one of our favorites is Superstore. We have watched it more times than we can count and it will never not be funny to us. We gave The Paper a try, was thoroughly unimpressed, then went back to Superstore lol. However, we needed something more and have recently started watching St. Denis Medical. This is more like it! It’s essentially Superstore vibes set in an emergency room at the hospital. In fact, some of the cast members of Superstore are in it! It’s just nice to put a show on and have a laugh and St. Denis Medical is definitely scratching that itch.

Gypsy Rose – Life After Lockup:

There are so many things that my sweet husband does for me but you will never catch him watching reality TV with me! That is a hobby that is uniquely my own and I revel in it. During my Covid stint, I watched a lot of Gypsy Rose – Life After Lockup and really enjoyed it. No matter how you feel about her, it’s just interesting to watch Gypsy learn about normal life, her instant rise as a celebrity, and how she deals with it all. I loves me a prison or post prison show and this one is a friendly reminder that you can always turn your life around!

There is nothing better to me than cozying up on the couch with snacks, my main squeeze, and a good show. I don’t think I’ll be complaining about having nothing to watch for a while!

What are you currently watching? What is one of your guilty pleasure TV shows? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
