Trying Out A New Recipe: Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Posted on August 9, 2022 42 Comments

My grandma keeps giving me zucchinis from her garden the size of toddlers, so I’ve been trying out zucchini recipes lately! Recently, I tried Dessert For Two’s Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread. I’ve been following this food blogger for a couple years now, but never tried out anything by her, so I was excited to give […]

Final Day In Atlanta

Posted on August 8, 2022 25 Comments

And really, it was only half a day because I spent almost ten hours driving home. But in that first half of the day, I went to the World of Coca-Cola! So this post is more or less only a review over that. Before I get started, I just want to preface by saying I […]

Day Three In Atlanta

Posted on August 7, 2022 36 Comments

My third day in Atlanta was Friday, and I was going to write it up on Saturday, but I drove home on Saturday, and now it is Sunday, so here is my slightly late third day! I started the day as all days should start: with brunch. After debating between all the recommendations y’all provided […]

Day Two In Atlanta

Posted on August 5, 2022 27 Comments

First off, thank you to everyone that commented on my first day post that recommended me places to check out, welcomed me to the city, or just said they enjoyed the post. I especially appreciate y’all saying that I’m good at this whole travel writing thing, it means a lot to me! So, I was […]

Day One In Atlanta

Posted on August 4, 2022 20 Comments

Hello, Atlanta, I am in you! For the first time, in fact (unless you count tons of layovers in the airport). After hitting the road at just past 8am yesterday, I ended up arriving a little after 5pm. Immediately, parking was a bitch. The hotel I’m staying at says it has “self-park”, and a public […]

Trying Out A New Recipe: Blueberry Crumb Cake

Posted on July 28, 2022 17 Comments

The first time I got into cooking videos on YouTube was back in 2012, when I was thirteen. And the channel that got me into cooking videos was a channel called Kin Community. There were several different content creators that all made their own videos and then posted under Kin Community’s channel, but the only […]

Late to the Party: Stranger Things Season Two

Posted on July 22, 2022 7 Comments

After totally tearing through season one of Stranger Things, I was eager to start season two. Upon actually starting it, I realized I did watch it when it came out. I had completely forgotten about season two entirely. I thought, “okay, maybe I did watch an episode or two and then quit”, but that wasn’t the case. […]

An Attempt At Binging With Babish’s Ube Roll

Posted on July 19, 2022 32 Comments

Did that look super difficult or what?! I certainly thought it did, which is why I was hesitant about making this dessert. I knew I had to put aside my reluctance and just go for it. What was the worst that could happen? So, I started by looking for the ingredients on Amazon, because I […]

Trying A Unique Treat: Misaky Tokyo

Posted on July 17, 2022 15 Comments

You ever seen a rock and been like, “man I wish I could eat that”? Just have the urge to take a chomp right out of a geode and all its crunchy goodness? I have had this problem my whole life, but even more so after handling so many pretty rock samples in geology class […]

Late to the Party: Stranger Things Season One

Posted on July 13, 2022 25 Comments

I’ve been meaning to hop on the Stranger Things band-wagon for a while now, but after seeing so many people praise the newest season, I decided it was finally time I join the crowd. I did watch season one back when it originally came out, but it’s been so long I didn’t really remember much. Definitely not […]

Trying Out A New Recipe: Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Bread

Posted on July 12, 2022 37 Comments

Well, that’s certainly a mouthful, isn’t it? Especially if I add “with cream cheese glaze” at the end. But that’s exactly what I made last night, glaze and all! I can’t quite remember how I found this recipe, but I’m pretty sure it was through Instagram, and I decided to give it a try (as […]

Walmart Parking Lot Extravaganza

Posted on July 10, 2022 9 Comments

I follow a boba tea shop on Facebook called Oh! Boba and they posted a couple days ago that they’d be serving boba tea at a “Community Extravaganza” event hosted in the parking lot of a local Walmart. I had never heard of this event before, but apparently it’s the second annual one! The event […]

Universal Yums: June 2022 Review

Posted on July 5, 2022 12 Comments

Now that I’ve been back from LA for a week, I’ve had time to rest and relax and catch up on important stuff, like last month’s snack box. I finally got around to cracking open the June Universal Yums box, and found Thailand inside! Other than Thai iced tea, I can honestly say I haven’t […]

Final Day of Santa Monica

Posted on June 26, 2022 14 Comments

And what a glorious last day it was! My friends said they wanted to give me what they consider “the TOUR” of LA, or at least enough of it to fill about six hours. I had no idea where we were going, but I had a strong suspicion that the first stop would be coffee. […]

Day 6 of Santa Monica

Posted on June 25, 2022 18 Comments

I’m finally reaching the tail end of my trip, and though I have loved it here, I’m definitely ready to go back home. One thing I don’t have back home, though, is boba tea. So that was the first thing I went out and got today. There are quite a few places in the area, […]

Day 5 of Santa Monica

Posted on June 24, 2022 10 Comments

One of these days, I’ll finally go to the beach, but today was not that day. The UV index was at 10, and I didn’t feel like looking like a lobster, so I held off. I did, however, go to lunch at a Mexican restaurant called El Cholo with a different family friend from Hollywood. […]

Day 4 of Santa Monica

Posted on June 23, 2022 15 Comments

I had big plans for my fourth day in town, but upon waking up I decided I didn’t feel like leaving the bed. So I didn’t! And I went back to sleep. I ended up sleeping about thirteen hours. I had to keep convincing myself that I wasn’t wasting my day, because rest is important, […]

Day 3 of Santa Monica

Posted on June 22, 2022 29 Comments

I find it funny that my father and I are doing “Day X of ___” at the same time. At least his numbers match the actual day of the month. Anyways, Day 3 of lovely Santa Monica! I started this day out right by going to Huckleberry Cafe for breakfast. I’m one of those people […]

Day 2 of Santa Monica

Posted on June 21, 2022 17 Comments

The first thing I did for my second day in Santa Monica was get a pedicure. I figured if I was going to be wearing sandals everywhere, I should make my toenails purple! So I just popped by the closest nail salon I could find, and while the pedicure itself was totally fine and whatnot, […]
