Presents Via Snail Mail

IMG_0194

I’ve recently discovered GlossyBox. It’s the UK equivalent to Birch Box in the US. I love getting snail mail especially filled with fun products so I signed up for one month to test it out.  When you sign up you have to fill out a beauty profile that contains questions such as: What is your skin type? …

Cupcake Heaven

Popcorn on cupcakes?!  How creative!

Everyone loves cupcakes.  The newest trend are minis.  It really does make sense.  You can try different flavors instead of having to choose one if you were to choose a big cupcake.  LivingSocial was running a deal for Crumbs and Doilies so I snatched it up and got it for Jon’s birthday this past weekend. I know …

Bistrotheque

Bistrotheque is a restaurant in Bethenal Green. It was hidden and on a random street but is such a gem.  Everything we order was delicious. Highly recommend.

Crack Kills

I know here hasn’t been an official statement about the cause of Whitney Houston’s death but I think drugs is a major assumption going around. It’s very unfortunate and sad.  My mom and I would crank up the volume on the cassette player in the car and belt out her songs together.  We would rewind the …

Where Are Your Eggs?

IMG_0269

As I’ve said before the eggs are not stored in the cold section at grocery stores here in the UK. Fine. No big deal. I’ve gotten used to it.  But why is there an egg section in my fridge if they don’t have to be in the cold? So are they supposed to go into …

Nothing But The Truth

My Street in London

All anyone was talking about for the last couple of days was the weather.  The weathermen predicted snow this weekend and suggested for us to stock up incase you can’t get out of your house.  I didn’t believe it one bit because 1) weathermen usually aren’t that spot on and 2) when it snows 2 …
