icicles

 

It has been a very long time since I have seen icicles of this length! :O

Easter Snoopy

 

Snoppy pretending to be an Easter bunny is both funny and cute <3

lamb sheep stuffed animal

 

I came across this cute lamb/sheep stuffed animal <3

heart-shaped

 

I was making jello and after pouring in the hot water, the jello powder unexpectedly formed into a heart-shaped pile ☺️ 

Shrimp Taco (Kirkland, Costco)

 

this is only half the portion... I forgot to take a picture before we started eating 😅

I didn't think shrimp would taste good with taco, so I bought these hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. However, to my surprise, I ended up REALLY REALLY liking them! 😋 

This sauce was soooOOOOOOoooooo good <3 I'm trying to see if I can buy it separately and indulge it :)

The fried shrimp were huge! :D And they paired well with the cilantro, lime and veggies. I have a feeling these won't be at Costco very long, so if you see them, get them! :D

O'Keeffe's Hand Cream

 

O'Keeffe's Hand Cream

I didn't like this... however the more I used it, the more it has started to grow on me. 

This is my full review :)

I don't really see their moizuring benefits but it protects my hands from being stripped dry.

Tequila Cocktails

 

I have never had tequila before... so I hope these are good... I bought them because I liked how the cans looked and the interesting flavours :) Mexican with a twist :D

Konjac jelly

 

I've always been a huge fan of Konjac noodles and Konjac (the chunks you put in 豚味噌汁). I didn't know they made these into jelly/snack/sweet form! :D

I tried the Peach flavour and so far I like it :)

The French side... in case anyone was curious :)

The Laughing Cow

 

I haven't had this in years! This cheese always reminds me of the cheese I had in HK when I was really young... it brings a sense of nostalgia :)

Paula's Choice

 

It first started with their iconic 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, and my collection keeps growing :O... the latest product I can't wait to try is their Peptide (Pro Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer) :D

snowy

 

Overnight snow :)

and what I woke up to :)

stormy weather continues

 

Snowstorms are best enjoyed indoors <3

hello to yet another snow storm :P

Easter bunny

 

These bunnies are so cute :D

Happy Valentine's Day

cute bull

Happy Valentine's Day... or Galentine's Day :D I was browsing through the Valentine's Day aisle and found a few noteworthy, adorable, creative stuffed animals :D I took pictures of the ones and put them here.

buy Canadian?

 

During this spat between Canada and the US, a lot of stores in Canada are putting Made in Canada products and this brand, Almer, is one of them. 

I have never heard of or seen them up until now. I tried their canned Chicken Noodle soup and Cream of Mushroom soup, but I thought they were not as rich as Campbell's... I hope Canadian brands improve on their taste so consumers can have more better choices :)

McDonald's Chicken Nuggets

 

I always forget how much I like these until I order them and taste them <3 These McD chicken nuggets are one of the best nuggets we can get, they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside <3

Brands Chicken Essence

 

My grandmother always gave me this essence of chicken <3 whenever I have these, I'm reminded of the precious time we shared together <3 ❤️ ♥️ 

New vs Old Packaging

 

old on the left, new on the right

Spot the differences!

These two actually look very similar, the only difference is the added nutrition disclaimer, the font colour and the similar but different picture of the mac and cheese :)

ok, enough about the packaging! This is one of my favourite mac and cheese... I grew up eating this and it remains one of my favourites :)

McDonald's new burger

 

I found this new burger at McDonald's today! It is part of their Showdown menu, this is a cheeseburger that contains 3 burger patties! (for those who don't know, I love eating meat) Of course, I had to order it! :D

It did not disappoint! :D 3 layers of cheese and burger patties! yum! :D

La Roche Posay

 

I can't believe I finished using this La Roche-Posay Baume! (full product name: Lipikar Baume AP+M). I had terrible skin barrier issues 3 months ago and came across this product and used it religiously for the past 3 months and my skin barrier is FINALLY fixed!! :D

Miso Pork Bone ramen

 

Ramen is the perfect comfort food for -15-degree weather <3

Uni (Ball) One pen

I finally got my hands on one of the best sellers from Mitsubishi Uni(Ball) pens! (I found these at Walmart!)

These Uni One Ink " collections are identified by its famous spring clip. The ink is dark and produces crisp lines and the ink is waterproof and does not fade r smudge.

 Both the UniBall Jetstream and UniBall One are produced by Mitsubishi, but you can see how much darker and crisp the UniBall One's ink is. 

I'm loving my new pen :)

Crescent Moon with Star

Crescent moon and star

I caught the moon with a prominent star and couldn't resist taking a few pictures :)
