Love With Food: April 2016 Throwback

Like with the Ipsy post earlier this month, I found this draft the other day and for the life of me I can't figure out why it never got posted!  Despite the fact that it is a year old, I still thought it was relevant and interesting enough to have its day in the sun!  I hope you enjoy!


I didn't try these Laiki crackers for a while because I wasn't sure about them, and I wanted to try them with Chicken Salad.  They are nothing like I expected! They are square, and almost the consistency of Cheetos.  They also weren't too bad for you because they only have the three ingredients listed on the front.  Regardless, I loved them and would eat them with or without chicken salad next time!

These Tasty Organic Fruit Snacks were pretty good! I enjoy fruit snacks, so pulling these out f the box felt like being a little kid again!  These had a really good flavor with cute shapes, so I was happy!  I would totally buy these if I found them somewhere.

This Stinger Cinnamon Waffle was my favorite thing in this box!! It was a good size, about the size of my palm, so it was a nice treat.  It was nice an chewy, and had a really good cinnamon honey flavor, which are two of my favorite things!

This Nutryttiva Banana Bar was really interesting, the only ingredients were Bananas and a veeery small fraction of lime juice.  As a result, it tasted like pure chewy bananas!  The color was a bit off putting (solid black), but I understand that isn't something they can change while keeping it natural.  I thought this was ok, but it wasn't my favorite, my brother loved it though!

This Oatmeal Fruit Squeeze was kind of interesting... It had an odd consistency, and was not good at all at room temperature.  After refrigerating it was better, but I couldn't get past the consistency!  But then again, I'm not a huge fan of regular oatmeal either.

This chocolate chip Biscotti di Suzy was pretty good, and I thought this was a pretty cool snack to include!  It would have been even more fun had they added a hot chocolate or something similar in this box to go with it.

These Boulder Coconut Oil potato chips were good! They had a bit of an odd aftertaste, I'm thinking as a result of the use of coconut oil, but I still ate the entire bag so it wasn't bad!  I like the idea of them being made in a healthier oil, so I would totally buy these again!

I don't really like tea, so these were kind of a disappointment... The candy element is usually pretty iffy, but I think this was pretty weak.  I'll probably give these to my mom since she will actually enjoy them.

2018 Recap Part One (January-July)

So I took a year off!  2018 was a crazy year, and a lot has happened, so I thought it might be fun to do a recap of all of the fun, unexpected, and just crazy things that happened in 2018! January I started the year off by having coffee and lunch with my favorite girl at my favorite coffee shop! (She is also the photographer of the picture shown above.) The majority of the rest of January was spent trying to figure out my life... I made some big changes relationship wise by ending an almost five year relationship I was reluctant to let go of, but it ended up being a wonderful decision that has allowed me to grow in so many ways since.  Sometimes life has growing pains. Oh, I also turned 21 the month before, so there were a lot of other (now legal) activities going on in my life to help the healing process! February And in February a wonderful new man came into my life!  He was my roommate's best friend, so he had been around a lot, but suddenly I was a

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did??  I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels.  They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well!  I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one.  But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection.  The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile."  It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs.  I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones!  I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it?  But no worries
