I could write reflective post about the year but now that we are in 2020, which sounds even weird to say it's time to move forward..
Anyways here were my favorites of 2019!!!
MOVIES:
Crazy Rich Asians- I watched this at the very beginning of the year and it's one that I feel will be a classic rom com that you can watch over and over again. The characters are fun and the scenery is beautiful. The wedding scene is absolutely breathtaking...
Happy Death Day/Happy Death Day 2 U- I combined these because I was very skeptical about the first movie but it was on free HBO so I figured why not see what this is and usually these groundhog day type movies can get monotonous fast but this one was just so fun! Tre is such a bitch in the beginning but you grow to love her and it was the one movie where I couldn't guess the killer and the second movie is just a unique way to do a sequel.
Detective Pikachu- This might have been the best film of the year for me... Pikachu is adorable and voiced by Ryan Reynolds. The plot is fun and the twist ending was great! If you haven't seen this movie please watch it!
Ralph Breaks The Internet- I only included this one because of the scene with the Disney Princesses.. and it made me cry.
Avengers End Game- What a way to end an era.. I can't wait to see what Marvel does next but this one had everybody in it and I appreciated how they added just enough for each of them to do.
I, Tonya- I was late to the game with this movie as well.. Margot Robbie was brilliant, Allison Janney was brilliant. It was just a well acted movie and you saw a character not just Margot playing a character.
SONGS/ALBUMS:
Julia Michaels ft. Selena Gomez- Anxiety
Ava Max- Sweet But Psycho
Lauren Daigle- You Say
Shawn Mendes- If I Can't Have You
Shawn Mendes ft. Camila Cabello- Senorita
Selena Gomez- Lose You To Love Me and Look At Me Now
Ariana Grande- 7 Rings
Jonas Brothers- Only Human
Post Malone- Circles
Blake Shelton ft Gwen Stefani- Nobody But You
Lizzo- Juice, Good as Hell and Truth Hurts
Ariana Grande- Thank You, Next- Okay Miss Ariana churning out another album so quickly after Sweetener. This was one of those albums that I would play non stop. 7 Rings I was obsessed with for a very long time and this record had all the bops on it Imagine, Needy, Bad Idea, Makeup. Just loved them all.
Halsey- Badlands- I was late to the Halsey train, but I actually really enjoyed listening to her catalog of songs this year. Colors, Castle. Even her new stuff Graveyard is very good.
Dua Lipa- I LOVE Dua!! I can't wait for her new album to come out. Don't Start Now is such a disco jam.
Taylor Swift- Lover- What a lovely experimental album from Taylor. Me! and You Need To Calm Down are fun commercial songs but the meat of this record is Cruel Summer, Cornelia Street, Death By A Thousand Cuts and London Boy.
Jonas Brothers- Happiness Begins- The comeback of the year goes to the Jo Bros. Seriously they came back with such a vengeance Sucker, Cool and Only Human all amazing!
TV SHOWS:
Letterkenny- I love this stupid show. It's very funny and the characters are all great. It's a very quotable show.
The Umbrella Academy- This was a fun show! Can't wait for S2
The Politician- I took a chance on this show because I didn't think I was going to like it but I binged this show in one day because it keeps you hooked.
Masked Singer- I know it's dumb but it's so intriguing!!
The Mandalorian- BABY YODA.
High School Musical The Series: Another show I was hesitant to watch but it fills the void for Glee.
Dollface- Strange show but it's pretty funny. Has a great cast of girls Kat Dennings, Brenda Song, Shay Mitchell.

PRODUCTS
- ABH Rivera Palette- Loved this palette! It's such a fun switch up from your regular old nude palette and it's pigmented and has gorgeous shimmers!
- Colourpop Main Squeeze- I love all the monochromatic palettes but this is such a fun way to use red shadows and not feel weird about it. I used this one a lot during the summer and got many compliments.
- L'Oreal True Match Lumi Shake and Glow- I got this recommend from Kathleenlights. What a beautiful spray to use in the summer. It's light and gives your skin that inner glow.
- Makeup Revolution Conceal and Hydrate Foundation- New to my collection but I already know it's going to be a favorite when I want a luminous moment.
- Colourpop Pretty Fresh Concealer- YES! Finally a concealer that matches my skin tone that is hydrating enough for my dry under eyes.
NOSTALGIA
This year I found a lot of nostalgia centered podcasts that I love and continue to listen to:
- Big Orange Couch- These guys are great! I love talking about 90's Nick and they keep you laughing through each episode.
- Office Ladies Pod- Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey talking about The Office.. Sign me up!
- Another Man's Nostalgia- Another fun podcast where these guys revisit TV and movies from our childhood and they are very funny and have many hot takes.
- Legend's Only- Bradley and T.Kyle are back and talking about all the Diva legends. Amazing content, not everyone has that.
Rocko's Modern Static Cling- I never thought that this movie would ever see the light of day, but it came out on Netflix a few months ago and it did not disappoint! A great modern take on a 90's classic.
Disney +- Disney plus was one of the greatest things ever created... I don't even have to explain why..
Movies I want to see in 2020
