Bachelor Recap: Season 25, Episodes 3 and 4

These past couple of episodes were drama filled, probably similar to Queen Vicky's night when she got arrested for stealing cosmetics. We got to see girls interrupt other's dates, some nasty sexual fantasy stories, and some MEAN GIRLZZ. 

Episode 3
Last week, we began with Sarah fainting during the rose ceremony. Both Matt and the paramedics helped her get back on her feet, while the other girls accused her of trying to get attention. The rose ceremony continued and Marylynn, who was a victim of Vicky's, was kicked off as Matt seemed to believe Vicky instead of Marylynn. 
For last week's group date Chris Harrison advertised his newest grocery store romance novel and encouraged the girls to write their own fantasy romance novels. After being given some time to write, Matt shared his story first. Matt wrote about the edge of a woman's suit and hairline, I didn't understand that part, and he wrote about chocolate cake. There were some odd features to these stories. Bri described cold earth and hard muscles. Serena C talked about how what every man was lacking Matt was packing (I guess other men don't pack suitcases well.) While other girls spoke about Matt's long, thick legs. And some left a lot to the imagination as every other word was bleeped. In middle school I turned in a poem somewhat similar to these girls', however mine went more like this: "His braces shined in the fluorescent light." Honestly, this was probably one of the best group dates the franchise has ever done. Later that night was the cocktail party where he gave two big smooches, first to Rachael. Matt was then talking to Katie, but then Sarah who was not on the group date decided to walk to the group date and talk to Matt. Sarah steals Matt from Katie and they talk because Sarah is desperate for attention as she's uncomfortable with Matt getting to know other girls. Katie then asks for some time with Matt as Sarah isn't even supposed to be there. She leaves, but not without a huge smooch from Matt behind a screen. Katie then tells the other girls what happened and suddenly everyone turns on Sarah. Vicky goes after her to talk and confirms that her and Sarah have a "good" relationship despite bullying her. Finally, Sarah goes home. 
The next day all girls gather together and gossip about Sarah as they are pissed with her. Matt comes over to take Serena P on a date, but first he has to talk to Sarah, who is lonely in her room. Matt pounces on Sarah while she's sitting. They talk and he's very touchy with her. I thought Matt and Sarah really had a good connection. Later, Matt and Serena P go horseback riding. Serena is very comfortable on a horse and we learn Matt had comforting pet turtles growing up. They ended up having a picnic that was interrupted by a cute burrow. They were cute together. Meanwhile, Sarah was cooped in her room all day and everyone just kept waiting for her to come out to say rude things about her. Some of the girls' comments were: "I don't miss her" said Kit; Vicky said "Sarah doesn't need Matt she needs a Xanax." However, when Sarah hears a date card has arrived she comes running. Unfortunately, it wasn't for her and she tried to apologize to everyone for ruining Katie's time with Matt. She also goes on to talk about how she wanted to leave. Honestly, I don't know why she brought that up. No one wants her there and with less girls they get more time with Matt. Anyways, these girls go wild on her! Vicky continues to interrupt her and questions why she would want to make amends with her. They even threaten her by saying her living situation is going to be hard from now on. Sarah goes back to her room. Then, Katie, who Sarah stole Matt from entered Sarah's room to talk to her. Sarah and Katie have a heart to heart conversation about how hard it was for Sarah to be on The Bachelor since her father has ALS and weeks to live. Katie talks about her own father's death and how she regrets not being there when he died. Katie relays to everyone how we never know what someone is going through. Eventually, Sarah decides to leave to be with her family. I thought Matt and Sarah really liked each other, so that's a bummer.

Episode 4 
Last night's episode was filled with mean, bitchy girls. There are very few who seem genuinely nice. I think Katie and Magi are both kind girls as they don't attack anyone. Majority of the others can be very rude. The episode began with Vicky bashing Sarah because Vicky thinks Sarah left because it got too hard. However, Katie defends Sarah as she's not even there anymore, so there's no reason to be mean. Vicky doesn't like this as Katie is limiting Vicky's "self expression." Anyways, the end of a group date for last week continued. Chelsea told Matt about the experience of having non-European hair as she had it chemically straightened it since she was 2! Honestly, this really opened my eyes up to what people with non-European hair experience. Chelsea ended up receiving the group rose. 
The following night was the rose ceremony and cocktail party. All was going well, Matt was talking with the ladies and asked some great questions. Vicky was even wearing a cute jacket! However, the tables turned as five new girls arrived! We met:

Brittany
Britt came in with a bang as she made out with Matt and told Vicky that the producers "were saving the best for last!" She's a model in Chicago.

Michelle
Michelle came out wearing a wonderful black sequined dress. She's a teacher and immediately hit it off with Matt. 
Ryan
Ryan is a dancer, that's all I know.

Kim
Next we meet Kim who's an ICU nurse, which begs the question, shouldn't she be at work with the Coronavirus?

Catalina
Miss Puerto Rico Universe (the Trump sponsored beauty pageant) arrives and seems very kind. She also wears a lot less makeup than the other girls. Also, why are there so many pageant girls in the franchise? If you win a pageant you have that job for a year, so what is their job now?

Well, everyone was pissed that there were new girls! Everyone was worried that Matt would view the new girls as new toys or new candy, which is kind of sad they think they're just candy. Queen Vick introduced herself to Catalina and proceeded to take her crown and wear it. Catalina was shocked, but continued to be kind to Vicky. Anna was especially mad and befriended Vicky to gossip about the new girls. That night Kim, Khaylah, and Kaili were kicked off. I was kind of surprised about Khaylah I thought she and Matt had good conversations.
Anyways, the next day Katie was kind enough to get to know the new girls and talk to them. Way to go Katie! Later that day the women go on a group date. They do an obstacle course which includes kayaking in hollowed out pumpkins, which seemed really fun, and searching for acorns in squirrel outfits! I think Mari won again, but unfortunately Magi got stuck in the water. At the cocktail party Anna decided to talk about Brittany to Vicky! Anna and Brittany are both from Chicago and has heard that Brittany is an escort and entertains wealthy men for money. However, Anna is a bartender at night, so she also entertains men for money, so I don't get the issue. Apparently, Brittany also reportedly did bottle service, but that's also very similar to bartending in that your selling alcohol and flirting with who your serving in order to earn more tips. Anna even outed Britt in front of the whole group. Britt denied it and claimed she's had a boyfriend this whole time. I will say I think you could still have a boyfriend while being an escort. Then, the night ended.
The next day Matt went on a date with Michelle. I think they're good together and I think she's going to win! For their date they went on a tethered hot air balloon. 
Then, there was a group date where the women boxed with one another. The women met Matt where he was working out in the trees. I imagine that was what my dad's gym class looked like growing up. There were some girls who looked like they had fought before. I mean there were some nice hits. Eventually Matt stopped it because it seemed too dangerous. That night, the girls were being RUDE to the new girls and spewing all sorts of rumors. Vicky, Anna, MJ, and others were especially cruel. I think matt would be appalled to see this. Katie went to tell Matt what happened, as the girls would listen to him, without saying names or giving too much detail as not to gossip. Thankfully, both Katie and Matt realize this show isn't the end of the road for anyone as the rumors could hurt people and their lives. In the preview, Matt goes on to say that "if you have to belittle others to shine, these qualities aren't what I'm looking for in a wife." The episode ended with a snippet of Matt dancing for Magi. It was funny.

Anyways, thanks for reading. There was a lot to summarize! God Bless!

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

      I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out.       We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Summer Style 2019

This summer I have been trying to expand my wardrobe. I noticed I have many solid color shirts and my outfits have gotten boring. I have been trying to change this by getting a top in every color to change it up. It has been a little tough because I try to follow Karl Lagerfeld's advice of purchasing pieces I either need or really love. There really is no reason to spend money on clothing you sort of like, you got to love it. Click on the titles of the clothing to get to the link. Ralph Lauren Polo Flag Cotton Sweater I love this summer sweater! I mean who doesn't love a summer sweater! It is so patriotic and perfect for chilly summer nights. I am looking forward to purchasing this sweater later this summer. Plus, it's on sale!  Brooks Brothers Tipped Supima Cotton Shell This tank top is basic, but so easy to dress up with accessories. This one is also on sale. Lilly Pulitzer Dusk Racer Back Silk Tank Top I absolutely adore this tank top. Lilly ...
