December Favorites!

On my Tumblr, I started posting my monthly favorite things, so I've decided to bring that over to this here new blog. So without further ado (while it's halftime), on with the favorites!

• NOOK HD Since my laptop is slowly on the way out, I decided to treat myself to a tablet on Black Friday - more specifically a NOOK HD (got the 16GB for $99, score!). I honestly never thought that I would get any use out of a tablet, but boy was I wrong! Let's put it this way, I cleaned out my iPod Touch of unnecessary apps and got the Google Play equivalents for the NOOK. Speaking of Google Play, I've been getting used to the Android universe, which I don't particularly care for, but I can use it if it's the only thing around (forever an iOS girl). You may be wondering why I didn't just buy myself an iPad. Two reasons: the price ($349 for the mini? Fuck off! Can't even afford that on a good day!) and no way to expand memory (NOOKs have a microSD card slot).
• Britney Jean This was the year of pop princesses, wasn't it? Everyone released an album this year! Even though I'm more of a rocker chick, I do occasionally like a good pop record. I've listened to a few of the ones that came out, and Britney Jean is the winner for me. Yes, I liked it better than ARTPOP (gasp!!). Although I love Gaga, there are a couple of tracks I can do without and can't seem to listen to all the way through. I feel like Britney Jean is a stronger record overall, and I think the best album that Ms. Spears has put out in years!
• Coral makeup Usually winter time means dark, berry/wine lip colors. Well, trends be damned because I'm still rocking coral shades. I feel that it brightens up my whole face, which is something that I would need in the winter when I usually feel blah anyway! Coral products I've been using: NYX Butter Gloss in Peach Cobbler; CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Apricot Twist; Maybelline Master Glaze by Facestudio Blush Stick in Coral Sheen; Urban Decay Super-Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color in Punch Drunk.
• Will & Grace Usually my late night TV routine would contain some reruns of Frasier and The Golden Girls on Hallmark Channel, but since they were showing holiday movies for two solid months, my mom and I have had to find something to watch during the night. This is how I rediscovered Will & Grace. I was pretty young back when it was first on, so I didn't completely "get it," but now that I'm a bit older, I can relate to it more. Maybe too much. I AM Grace Adler. Right down to the curly hair. There are things that she would say and do that just scream me! But aside from that, it was such a well-written show; so incredibly funny.
