So I was lost in the world of Netflix without a solid show for me to bingewatch for quite a long time. I had started Friday Night Lights but THEY TOOK IT OFF NETFLIX WHEN I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH SEASON 1. I'm not bitter or anything. It's fine, whatever Netflix. Anyway, one of my friends was just finishing up a show that she knew I'd totally love. A lot of you have probably already seen it but 90210 was brand new to me!
It is honestly such a good show. Probably terribly written to people who actually care about that stuff, but if you know me, you also know that I'm here just for the drama. The character development might be a little spotty, but with couples splitting and getting back together things are always interesting. They really know how to end an episode with a cliff hanger so you just have to keep watching. I just finished season one yesterday and I am hooked.
Favorite character: Adrianna
Least favorite character: Everyone from the Kansas family (I know I'm probably supposed to like them, but they are so annoying!)
Hottest guy (so far): LIAMMMM
Anyway, basically the show is about this family from Kansas (they are so freaking annoying) who moves in with the dad's mom in Beverly Hills. The kids start going to this super wealthy school there and all their new friends have crazy drama that they aren't used to in Kansas. It's a really quality show and I definitely recommend if you like a good teen drama.

Already seen 90210? Here are some of my other favorite shows of all time (tbh they are all pretty basic so there's a good chance you've seen most of them already):

Definitely a quality show right here. It's basically about a girl named Zoey Hart who is from New York and moves to a small town in Alabama because she is trying to become a doctor and needs training or something. Anyway, she immediately meets two hot southern boys, the local southern belle (who immediately hates her), and all kinds of stereotypical Alabamian people. I think it might be what made me fall in love with the south? Not sure, but it was a step in the right direction.
Favorite character: Annabeth
Least favorite character: Brick Breeland
Hottest guy: Wade

GILMORE GIRLS
One of the first shows that I totally binge watched because I had the whole thing on DVD (this was before I even had Netflix). I am a total expert at this show because I have rewatched it more than three times. If you don't already know, it's about a mother and daughter (mother had daughter when she was 16) and their fun relationship. It also follows their love lives and their cute small Connecticut  town. If you haven't seen this I don't know what you've been doing with your life (probably very productive things unlike me)
Favorite character: Jess
Least favorite character: Dean
Hottest Guy: This one is super tough because Logan is probably hottest but I love Jess so much more!

Okay this show is so cheesy and stupid, but my friends and I all watched it in eighth grade and I've had a special place in my heart for it ever since. It honestly is probably written better than Gossip Girl, the OC, or 90210, but the whole supernatural aspect of it makes it a bit cheesy. The writers definitely know how to write a good romance though! Basically, a human girl's parents both die in a car crash, and she is going through a rough time when she meets a vampire (who she doesn't realize is a vampire for like five episodes) and they fall in love but he has a brother who is also hot and is in love with the girl too. It gets very complicated honestly but it is on Netflix. You have to bingewatch the first like ten episodes in order to get into it.
Favorite Character: Caroline
Least Favorite Character: Bonnie
Hottest Guy: Honestly too many to count, but my heart belongs to Stefan (or Klaus...)

If you haven't seen Gossip Girl you better get on your Netflix and watch it right now this very instant. It is such a well known show among this generation that I see references to it almost every day. The drama is spot on, the romance is nicely dragged out throughout the six seasons, and everything about it makes you wish you lived in NYC's Upper East Side.
This one is about a group of teens that are CRAZY rich and live in penthouses on the Upper East Side of New York. It also follows this family from Brooklyn (the Humphreys eww) who are basically really annoying and feel entitled to a superior opinion about everything because they aren't rich and live in the "real world". If you haven't gotten the vibe yet, I really hate the Humphreys. The two Humphrey kids go to the same prep school as the rich Upper East Siders and spend their whole lives trying to fit in with them. Jenny Humphrey practically sells her soul (multiple times) to be cool. I would feel bad for her if she wasn't so manipulative. Anyway, this is probably one of my absolute favorite shows and you HAVE to watch it.
Favorite Character: Blair Waldorf
Least Favorite Character: Jenny Humphrey
Hottest Guy: Chuck Bass (Nate is hot too but Chuckkkk)

So this weekend I hosted a fun birthday BBQ at my ranch. Just under 30 people came and it was a super fun night! I wasn't expecting everyone to bring me presents because my actual birthday was over three weeks ago, but I still was given some really nice gifts!

Aren't my friends generous?

Here are some of my favorite things that would definitely be good gifts to give to any of your friends too.

Birchbox Sally Hansen Nail Polish

One of my friends gave me a birchbox which is so much fun because it just has a bunch of beauty samples in it. They're things that I would never really buy for myself, but it's definitely fun to try out. I also got some Sally Hansen polish which is always a necessity. The pink one is actually argon oil infused, so it is really healthy for your nails!
