I love fruits! Except for papaya I've only just started to like it. I never liked the smell of over ripped papaya and the taste just didn't suit me. But lately, I've been liking it only when the papaya is super red and soft on the inside, it tastes the sweetest to me.
Ripped Papaya
Jack Fruit; I also love eating Jackfruit it's so sweet but sometimes sticky.
Tiny Mangos!
I found these tiny mangos in my parents' backyard isn't it cute! I didn't think they were ready being so small but after peeling one it was just as sweet as the big ones.
Frozen grapes; Love to eat frozen grapes during the summer especially during those hot days and it's super sweet.
Finally got to go to the night market this summer and I am glad we went to the last OC night market instead of the ones during the summer when it was super hot! The weather was perfect it was sunny but cool with a nice breeze. We didn’t get to try that many things because we got full quick but we still had fun.
The things we tried.
Takoyaki; It is good I love the original but have you guys tried the fried ones from sushi restaurants?! Bomb!
Cookie milk shot; they have other cookies and different kinds of milk to fill up the shot
Chicken Katsu sandwich, it was ok the chicken was good but I was not a fan of their curry.
Potato balls it was good can't go wrong with potato balls
Giant fried squid it was so good the batter tasted amazing with nice size pieces of squid
$20 for 3 light bulb drink. Of course you are pretty much paying for the light bulb but still, that is a little bit ridicules especially when there isn't much drink in it. I’m sure he rounded up instead of the exact price unless they charged tax and or their price was $6.66. Not all places charge tax only certain vendors.
Boyfriend got this I was full and didn't want to try it wasn't feeling like having eel.
We also got meat sticks from a Korean vendor which I forgot to take a picture of. But honestly it wasn't that great the beef was cut into huge chunks which made it hard to bite off the stick and chew. Way too tough. The pork was all fatty I did not enjoy it. The last night market is this past memorial weekend in the 626 area. I haven't been to the original 626 night market yet but would love to try and go next summer. It's a fun experience trying different foods although it can get a little expensive.
I just bought some lip product to try. My cousin told me about this and she says it works well, so I thought I would give it a shot. The brand name is Oops My Lip Tint by Berrisom, it comes individually or you can buy a set that comes in 6 different colors; Bubble Pink, Pure Pink, Vivid Scarlet, Sexy Red, Lovely Peach, and Virgin Red for $22 on the website right now https://us.memebox.com/
But I got it on amazon for like 2-4 dollars cheaper. There are a couple other lip tint colors that are not included in the pack
I also got a Lip tint cleanser to help take off the lip tint. I’m sure there are other cleansers that can take off lip tints but since I was already trying out this brand why not. The other 2 things I got I couldn’t help myself it just looked so pretty I had to try out the colors. I got I’m Lip Crayon in matte by I’m Meme. The color on the left is Natasha #CY255 and the color on the right is Vanessa #CY256.
So far I have tried the color Vanessa and I like how the color looks it’s very pretty. But there are problems:
Does not last long
No matter how much I put on chapstick before applying the lip crayon my lips end up dry
My lips were chap and crack the next day I could peel the skin off.
Transfer
If you have dry lips like I do, you might want to exfoliate the day before and apply chapstick to help give you nice soft lips for a smooth look.
I tried Oops My Lip Tint over the weekend and notice that if you are going to be wiping your mouth a lot the tint will come off easily and leave one funky outline and random spots of color. Definitely need to exfoliate before this product as well.
Don’t be shocked by how dark the color looks coming out of the tube, it is lighter after the peel comes off. One problem I had with the tubes is that sometimes there would be random air bubbles stuck in it pushing out way more product than I need. I would have to keep trying to tap the air bubble out.
I’ve heard a lot about these lip tints tasting awful, but I’ve been lucky so far not getting any in my mouth. I tried bubble pink first and WOW it smells so bad! It smells like Elmer's liquid glue but stronger. Second worst smell is pure pink, smells almost like bubble pink but not as strong. The other colors had more of a floral perfume sweet smell with lovely peaches being a little bit citrusy.
The result is; I do like the colors of these lip shades I would not buy these again just because it does transfer and is not long lasting. Although the lip tint will last quite a while as long as you’re not wiping your lips a lot.
Left: Vanessa; Right Natasha
the colors are in the same order as it comes in the box
Left to Right
I tried using the lip tint cleanser to see if I could take off any of the colors. I tried twice to wash it off, the top left and right pictures are the first attempts and the bottom left and the right pictures are the second attempt. I stopped after two times because my arm was starting to hurt where the little rough beads in the gel were scratching. 3 out of 6 colors came off using the cleanser.
I did my first ever youtube video! It was an unboxing from snack crate for August the Poland edition. I was pretty nervous and made so many mistakes but hey it was my first time talking in front of the camera. But anyway the video is done and I just have to get over my nerves. The video should already be uploaded.
We got a total of 20 items in the Premium crate box which was about $55 USD because we added the drink to the box. The biggest section of any grocery store in Poland is the candy section, so I can see why most of the items in this box are sweets.
Info about the snacks in the box
Taste slightly like an onion ring. I liked it, it reminds me of
the asian onion ring chips
This is prune covered chocolate candy. It wasn't bad but it's not one of my favorites
A ginger bread cookie that is soft and fluffy, but a little bit on the dry side. I can definitely taste the cinnamon in it.
This was a surprise I was expecting something crunchy, but instead it just melted
in my mouth like cotton candy would but at the end felt like I just bit on packing
peanuts. It has that styrofoam texture. For me the yellow ones didn't have a taste
but the other colors were a little bit on the sour side.
Pretzels, that is all
I was expecting a hard texture cookie, but instead it was soft like marshmallow
the inside has a raspberry jelly filling which complimented the chocolate and cookie well. It is one of my favorite things in this box.
My top favorite! This one is a winner for me. The crunchy texture of the rice crispy covering the caramel and cookie. Great combo.
This was interesting. The inside looks like a marshmallow but it is not!
It is light and fluffy with a little bit of sweetness.
Coconut wafers. Not my favorite, if there were a little bit more coconut flavor I think I would like it more.
The Prince Polo, chocolatey wafers I prefer the Classic over the hazelnut, also one of my favorites
Princessa to me taste just like the Prince Polo classic, so I can't complain there.
AHA! I like this one because it reminds me of my childhood eating the Chinese New Year treats. I prefer the AHA's over the Chinese New Year ones because it's thinner and easier to bite into.
Pretty much a biscuit to dip into your coffee or tea.
If you have ever bought chocolate bars from kids for their fundraiser, this taste just like
the caramel chocolate filled one.
Not a fan of this, the chocolate was too rich and dark for my liking
Again dark chocolate took over the flavor and it was a little bit to sweet for me
At first I didn't like this but after trying it some more I have come to like the taste of the jelly inside. It is strong and over powers the chocolate but I like it.
Favorite! After finishing the drink off camera, I feel like it taste slightly like a red bull which I kind of like the flavor of. It has a citrusy fruity taste that I love.
Well that is it for the Snack Crate box from Poland. We had fun trying all the different sweet treats and snacks. It was very interesting that some of the flavors are similar to what I have eaten in my childhood. Can't wait to try more Snack boxes.
(I am not sponsored this is something my boyfriend and I thought we would try)
Flash from the past?Not for me I was too young to know what it was.So when I heard Pepsi was going to bring it back for a short period of time I had to get my hands on one and see what all the hype was about.
My Thoughts?… It was ok. It seems a little bit sweeter then original Pepsi. It’s just so weird that it’s clear! Definitely can trick someone into thinking its water or another clear drink. My boyfriend and brother did not like it, but I don’t mind it. Would I buy it again? Probably not to tell you the truth. Buying it one time just to say I’ve tried Crystal Pepsi is good enough for me. I’m more of a Coke person
I’ve include the link where you can search for Crystal Pepsi at a store near you. It was about $2 for me
Feeling hungry and wanted something easy I decided to make pizza on a baguette. I am using what I had on hand. I used 2 different types of cheese because I have it and I wanted to use it all before it goes bad. But using just mozzarella cheese is fine.
Ingredients:
Baguette ( mine is from Lee’s Sandwich)
Cheddar Jack Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Pizza sauce
Pepperoni
Directions:
Slice baguette in half length wise
Spread pizza sauce all over
Top with as much or as little cheese as you'd like
Top with Pepperoni
350 Fahrenheit I didn’t set a timer I popped it in the toaster oven until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni looks done.
It was good, can't go wrong with anything pizza. The only thing I would change is either make my own pizza sauce or use a different brand. I wasn't that big of a fan for this sauce but it was still good and satisfied the cravings.
Inside the jelly bowl is a large clear bag filled with jelly, fruits, and 2 beans in some kind of water syrup. The small square is filled with red bean and the rectangle is filled with black sugar syrup also known as black honey or in Japanese Kuromitsu. The package also includes a little spoon so you can eat it anywhere how awesome is that?!
It took me a bit to figure out the instructions but what I got out of it is;
drain the liquid from the clear jelly bag or everything will be diluted
dump the remaining content in the clear bag into the bowl
add in the red bean
drizzle black sugar syrup over everything
mix it all up and enjoy
Now I could have done this whole thing all wrong but it was still delicious! I love red bean desserts and since I left it in the fridge for a couple of days it was nice and cold very refreshing.
