Book Review: The Secrets of My Life

The Secrets of My Life
by Caitlyn Jenner
Rating: 6/10

The Secrets of My Life by Caitlyn Jenner received a solid 6/10 from me. I was interested in this 
book after seeing how the Kardashians reacted to how they were portrayed. If that’s the only 
reason why you’re interested, then don’t fucking bother. The Kardashians don’t get brought up 
until the last 100 pages of the book. The only shade being thrown was already stated in an episode
of KUWTK, and nothing more. Caitlyn literally only says that Kris was in control of Bruce's 
(since she was Bruce at the time) money. Poof, that’s it. If I was aware of how little tea was 
spilled, I would have passed on the book.

With that being said, it was heartbreaking (in an interesting way) to read about how miserable 
Bruce was all his life leading up to the transition. It really put into perspective how little we truly
know about these famous celebrities and the misery behind their smiles put on for the cameras. I 
will be honest, I couldn’t put the book down knowing that I was reading the secrets about 
someone I’ve been watching on TV for years.

Overall, it was a good read. I don’t read for shit, so just the fact that I finished a book was an 
accomplishment in itself. I would highly recommend if your interests regard the secret life of the
world famous Olympian, Bruce Jenner. If your only goal was to be a chismosa (me) and hear the
chisme about the Kardashians (also me), then just stick with KUWTK. I personally would not 
read this for a second time but let's keep in mind that this is the first book I’ve willingly read in 
years, so are we really shocked by this decision?

Trader Joe's: Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings

Image
Rating: Eh, 5.5/10 Boo I wasn’t thrilled with these. Honestly, I think a pro-con list is necessary: PRO CON This was a really nice alternative to driving all the way to Buffalo Wild Wings It only came with 12 wings It was only $5.99 $5.99 is a good price, but I’d rather get boneless wings at BWW They were spicy and had great flavor There are “multiple” servings yet I ate all 12 BONE-IN WINGS SUCK.. #teamboneless Overall, I probably wouldn’t buy these again. Yeah $5.99 is a good price, but for all the work you have to do to get the meat off the bone, it’s not worth it lol. I prefer my Thursday nights at BWW with boneless wings.

Trader Joe's "Breakfast Trek Mix"

Image
Rating: 6/10 Let me start by asking, what the hell is trek mix? I’m just going to assume it’s another word for trail mix. I enjoy this, but I don’t need it in my life. The TRAIL mix consists of granola balls, almonds, dried cranberries and yogurt chips. The flavors are great, between the saltiness of the almonds and the sweetness of the yogurt chips. But, it doesn’t do enough for me. This is perfect for a snack… a small snack. If you’re at Disneyland and eat this thinking you’ll no longer feel hungry, then you’re stupid and guess what? Still hungry. I wouldn’t recommend this for a legit snack to keep you full, but more of a snack when you barely start getting hungry. I eat these in my classes, so I’m not too obnoxious bringing full ass meals into a lecture hall. What is great about these, are that they are individually packaged! There are 10 servings individually wrapped, which is perfect if you are on the go. Hmm, I actually never have looked at the nutritional facts un...

Trader Joe's "Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice"

Image
YES YES YES 10/10               This is amazing! I’ve read that Trader Joe’s carries really good Indian food, so I wanted to try it for myself. I wouldn’t consider myself a lover of Indian food… usually. But this meal made me think otherwise. The microwave instructions are more intense than the typical frozen meal, but it is worth it for something that tastes so authentic. You’re supposed to put it in the microwave for 5 minutes on “defrost mode”. Then you’ll cook it regularly for 4 more minutes.  One of the things I love is that the meat/sauce and rice are seperated. So don’t stress about soggy rice! The portion of this is so big. It is such a realistic size for a meal, unlike Healthy Choice meals lol. You know how you get frozen meals and the chicken is  nonexistent? Well don’t be scared of that her e. There are hu ge pieces of juicy chicken in a pool of yummy sauce. And the basmati rice is super ( I hate this word aaaaa ) ...
