As you might have noticed I haven’t been posting very much recently. Life’s gotten pretty busy recently, but we all know that isn’t an adequate excuse. It’s easy to fall into a routine just to fall out of it again as soon as the flu hits. But that isn’t it. Let me preface what I’m… Continue reading On Hiatus and Directions
Yesterday Starbucks released it’s new and highly anticipated S’mores Frappuccino. The company blog states that the drink was inspired by great summer memories of s’mores around a crackling fire. And in addition to the blended drink being served in Starbucks stores across the country, there will be a bottled frappuccino version of the drink available… Continue reading Starbucks S’mores Frappuccino Review
Caffe Bene just opened a new location in Irvine and I decided to check it out. This South Korean coffee shop has many different coffee and dessert offerings as well as a variety of sandwiches. I visited on opening day and again several days later. Most notably, the decor for the cafe is really nice.… Continue reading Caffe Bene Review

The drink will be made available in Starbucks U.S. and Canada stores… Continue reading Starbucks Birthday Cake Frappuccino Review
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! St. Patrick’s Day is one of those holidays that I don’t think Americans (me included) understand very well. For us, it’s that one day a year we wear green and drink Guinness. Which is a little ironic, considering that it’s a holiday commemorating the patron saint of Ireland and that it… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie

And this year, I went out with a group of good friends to Newport Landing. Right on the waterfront, Newport Landing has lovely views of Newport Harbor and Balboa… Continue reading OC Restaurant Week 2015 : Newport Landing
Dear Me, I’d like to imagine that you would be reading this while standing on that bridge. That moment of our lives when we stood there and thought about giving it all up. You almost walked away from it all – friends and family that love you and a million happy moments you just couldn’t… Continue reading #Dearme
I have really great memories of crispy M&Ms as a kid. I liked them so much more than the regular M&Ms. They were lighter and just better tasting — magic to my child tastebuds. Crispy M&Ms were sold from 1998 to 2005. After they were retired I looked everywhere for the signature blue packaging until… Continue reading Crispy M&Ms are Back!
The green tea latte, sometimes known as the matcha latte, is the perfect middle of the day pick-me-up. This simple combination of matcha powder, milk and sugar is subtly bitter sweet. Because it’s made with matcha and not coffee, you’re more likely to be energized longer and less likely to caffeine crash. You won’t find this… Continue reading Drink of the Month: Green Tea Latte
I celebrated a birthday not long ago and I stumbled upon this article by Robyn at the Daily Post.

And so I was inspired to answer the prompts in a post of my own.… Continue reading Inspired Memories
