› Shopping Adventure, Mochi Disaster & Bulgaria Countdown
Shopping adventure — First time me and my bff/cousin (God, I’m tired of writing that so I don’t care anymore — Elin, yes that’s her name) — ELIN, went to the new store that opened in town.
Normally I LOVE this store but this one… there’s something about it that I don’t like, but I can’t put my finger on it.
I still did some damage to my card — yes, my account is crying.
Hair dye ● travel perfume bottle ● mouth hygiene kit (I know I said I could buy toothpaste and a toothbrush in Bulgaria, BUT COME ON! Look how cute it is! — below) ● two different sodas I’ve never heard about ● chapstick (E has ruined my other ones) ● earplugs ● mochi (not sure if I spelled that correctly) with the flavors Strawberry Cheesecake and Salted Caramel — read the verdict below ● two bags of Maltesers (obsessed!) ● blister bandages ● Coca-Cola for Elin ● sunscreen & aftersun lotion (gonna put them in my travel bottles) ● travel serum bottle ● probably more but I can’t remember at the moment.

The Mochi Reviews & Verdicts
The Verdict: I LOVE Strawberry Cheesecake and Salted Caramel (two separate bags), and I had NEVER tried mochi — until yesterday.
Elin laughed at me. She loves them and knew the texture etc. I didn’t. When I opened the little bag of Strawberry Cheesecake, my eyes literally became 👀 and I gave Elin the bombastic side-eye.
The first bite? Oh God. The taste? Bleh. Verdict; AWFUL
Salted Caramel: I looove salted caramel, so of course I bought that flavor as well. Opened the bag — it smelled different than salted caramel, but I didn’t think much of it. Took the first bite (Elin at the same time as me) and we have NEVER spat out something so awfully disgusting so fast in our lives. Verdict: HORRIBLE
“My soul left my body.” When we say that, we mean it was awfully disgusting.
Points: -100/10

I’m going to another store this week before I leave to see if I can find those travel-size spray bottles and a sharpener for my eyeliner. Two things.
I can’t believe I’m leaving soon. I found out about the trip when there were 50+ days left, and now… there are six days left.
Excuse me? Where did the time go? -
› Magnum La Pêche Signature Review — Is It Worth Buying?
I tried Magnum’s new peach ice cream so you don’t have to — here’s my honest review.
We had ice cream after we were done shopping on our way home. He picked his regular one, but I spotted a new Magnum ice cream:— Magnum: La Pêche Signature —
An ice cream coated with peach chocolate, I think, and dipped in Magnum chocolate.
I love peaches, so my mind instantly said: YES! GRAB IT!Honest review:
First impression: cute and looks yummy.
One bite in and I saw what it looked like inside — very interesting, but sadly it’s a no from me. The first taste was interesting, but the more I ate, the worse it got. It just wasn’t for me.
Maybe it’s something for you?
Have you tried it, or are you going to?
Like I said above, sadly it’s a no from me.
I honestly had high expectations for this one.
I love Magnum ice cream and peaches, so my brain went: GRAB IT! TAKE IT! LOVE IT!
…but my taste buds said something completely different.

› Pineapple on Pizza, Ketchup and Other Food Crimes I Commit
🔥 Hot Takes
🍕 Food ConfessionsToday’s chaos: extreme humidity, forced pizza and a confession that might get me banned from Italy.
Laundry day today and let me tell you — I barely came out alive.
The humidity in the laundry room is no joke.
Imagine this: when you enter, the drying room is on the left, blasting heat to dry the clothes. On the right side, you have the washing machines and the dryer. Between those two rooms is a third room where you fold the laundry and everything.
Now imagine the heat.
It was so horribly humid that I had to go to the storage room and bring a fan just to cool things down.
A neighbor came downstairs and laughed when she saw the fan.
I showed her why I had it, and her laughter quickly turned into a confused “what the fk?”
I swear, I could’ve ice skated in that third room.
It was so humid that it created a very shallow lake on the floor.
Awful.
But I’m done for today.
Today’s dinner: pizza.
Did I enjoy it?
No.
I hate eating during summer — I literally can’t handle hot food when it’s warm outside because the heat makes me feel sick.
So I basically had to force myself to eat some of the pizza.
I managed half.
Diabetes + not having eaten since yesterday = not a great combo.
And yes… I eat pizza with pineapple 💀
The Italians are probably going to hate me after this.
I’M SORRY.
…And before anyone asks — at least this time I didn’t put ketchup on it.
Yes.
I sometimes eat pizza with ketchup.
My taste buds are clearly insane.— 🔮 Question Jar 🔮 —
Pineapple on pizza — yes or no?
Please tell me I’m not the only one who has weird food habits. -
› Salted Caramel Iced Coffee Review — My Old Obsession Is Back
I tried one of my old obsessions today and I can honestly say… the obsession is still very much alive.
I go through phases with iced coffee (and iced lattes), but right now I have around 30 cans of these sitting in my fridge.
Today I grabbed one and the second I took that first sip, I swear I could hear an angel choir singing — *hallelujah*.
I genuinely want to recommend this one to you guys. If you don’t enjoy drinking coffee black with just a splash of milk, and you like salted caramel, this might be for you.
I don’t know if this exact one exists where you live, but maybe you can find something similar.
Salted Caramel Iced Coffee
Rating: 9.5/10
The missing 0.5? The sugar.
Because of my diabetes, I can only drink one at a time. Back in the day, though… I could easily drink 10 of these in a day.
