Starbucks Japan/ANA Sakura Bottle

I read this post about a special edition ANA/Starbucks cherry blossom-themed set, and I knew I HAD to have it, haha.  As luck would have it, my mom was flying ANA to and from Japan right when this promotion was occurring, and got the bottle/coffee packet set for me!

The bottle is small but super cute, even more so in person.  The pink flower petals make this bottle super girly and pretty to look at.  If it isn't obvious by now, I'm a sucker for all things "limited edition" and I'm so happy to have been able to get this set!

Anthropologie Latte Bowls

Every time I go into Anthropologie, I'm always drawn to their housewares/kitchen items.  I used to have the Latte bowls a while back, but lost them at some point between roommates and moving.  I've always wanted to get another set of them but never really went through with it.  During a recent Anthropologie sale online, I figured I would finally just BUY THE LATTE BOWLS, ALREADY haha.

In addition to the "regular" Latte bowls, I also bought the set of eight Mini Latte bowls because they just looked too cute to pass up.  I decided on the Multicolored set to add some nice pops of color into my kitchen.  While I would like to say that the Mini size is good for portion control of ice cream and candy... realistically, that may not be the case for me, haha.  However they are a cute little size for dips, snacks, and other foods that you want a cute little container for.

Georgetown Cupcake - Chocolate-covered Chocolate Chip Cupcake

Hello, chocolate overload! This Chocolate-covered Chocolate Chip cupcake was the free flavor at Georgetown Cupcake a while ago, and it was as delicious as I expected! The thick layer of chocolate ganache really amped up the chocolate flavor.  The mini chocolate chips studded throughout the vanilla cake added a tiny bit of texture as well.  This cupcake reminded me of a local favorite, the Bergers cookie, which is another great chocolate-y option for any Baltimore-area locals :o)
