› Shopping Adventure #2 — I Said I Was Just Looking…
Shopping adventure today as well! Not as much damage as the other day, but still a lot of damage 😅 At least the bank account doesn’t cry today.…
Natural candy (almonds, cashew nuts etc.) ● five empty spray bottles (they came in one pack) ● sodas ● phone charging cable (3m!) ● blister bandages (again. I forgot mine at home, so I had to buy another pack) ● permanent markers (so I can label the bottles with what they contain) ● a new hairbrush ● ice cream (review later) ● reusable makeup remover pads ● a travel-size hand sanitizer and probably more — I am so exhausted. Sleep deprivation plus people. Woho.
The original plan was to go into town to meet up with my son’s friend’s mom and give her something they requested for E, then go to the store to buy the candy (nuts), travel-size bottles and look for a new phone charging cable — JUST LOOK. Not buy one.
Oops.
Well… that decision changed quickly when Elin and I discovered they only had one black cable left, so I grabbed it. No doubt.
No, I don’t have a picture of everything I bought. It has been 250 mph all day, but I managed to take a picture of the box with the cable (I opened it so I could charge my phone while I’m taking a bath — yes, I have my phone with me when I take a bath).
I think I have everything now for my trip (except some food I can eat while waiting for the plane, but I’ll buy that on Saturday or Sunday. I leave Sunday night). -
› 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? -
› Enough Adulting for Today
Enough adulting for today.
For the first time ever — in my whole life — I defrosted my freezer. Never needed to before, but now? Oh god, it was time.
Yes, I admit it, I have never done it before except on my chest freezer and due to the heat in Sweden right now, I felt so stressed. No, I’m not ashamed to admit this 😂We have something called “Röt Månad” which basically means that food and drinks go bad really fast.
So imagine me using a metal spatula, boiling hot water, three bath sheets and one hand towel trying to defrost everything as fast as possible.
Honestly, I wish I could say “enough adulting” but sadly I have a lot more to do before it’s time to go to sleep for the night. Fold laundry, clean up, make dinner, pack E’s bags, get him ready for sleep. Shower (again), pack my cabin bag and yeah 😵💫 so much.Wish me luck – I’m gonna need it.

› 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.
Magnum: La Pêche Signature
Rating: 2/10
Do you like Magnum ice cream and the taste of peaches?
