Top Ramen - Gudetama Edition

Even though I'm fully aware that it's still just regular ramen inside, the Gudetama edition of these Top Ramen packages is SO SO fun! On this trip to the grocery store I found the Chicken and Soy Sauce (Vegetarian) designs available, with the iconic Japanese cartoon character all over it, haha.  Putting eggs in ramen is a pretty common thing especially in Japan, so it totally makes sense that they'd do a collaboration like this.  I can't wait to see the collection's merchandise when that becomes available too!

bkr Water Bottles at Marshalls

Just when I think I don't need any more water bottles, I had to come across these super cute bkr bottles on a recent trip to Marshalls!  I've seen them at both TJMaxx and Marshalls recently, and it's been a lot of fun discovering them at random times. There are various sizes of bkr bottles, and I'm quickly adding more and more varieties to my collection.  

It should surprise no one that I bought the cute little buttered toast bottle - the little faces are too cute! These bottles are glass and the cap, bottle, and sleeve are all dishwasher safe which makes them really easy to clean.  They're a cute and easy way to drink water throughout the day!

Georgetown Cupcake - Darcy Miller + Ruby Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes


How cute are these Valentine's Day themed cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes?  Even though Valentine's Day has already passed, I say we can keep the love going throughout the month if only for an excuse to eat more pink sweets, haha.

The one on the left is part of the Darcy Miller collaboration, which came in vanilla and chocolate combinations with pink frosting, heart sprinkles, and the fondant decoration.  The one on the right is the Ruby Chocolate Raspberry - I loved the pale pink ruby chocolate frosting, it was so pretty and delicious.  These should be available through February along with the other fun (and mostly pink!) cupcakes this month!

Sunday Morning Bakehouse - Chocolate Caramel Doughnut




I came across the cutest Valentine's day themed doughnuts at Sunday Morning Bakehouse over the weekend - look at those tiny heart sprinkles!  Chocolate and caramel is a great combination, and the cream was delicious inside the pillowy sugar coated doughnuts.  This would be perfect for any Valentines in your life that loves sweets!

Dunkin' Donuts - Pink Velvet Latte


I am a sucker for limited edition products, especially when they come from long time favorites like Dunkin' Donuts!  I finally had a chance to try out one of the two "pink velvet" drinks that Dunkin' Donuts currently has out - above is the iced Pink Velvet Latte.  It's a pretty blush/peachy pink in person which made up for a grey and rainy lunch break.  It's definitely sweeter than a plain iced latte (which I would normally get), but I really enjoyed their take on a red velvet flavor - a little punch of sweet cocoa flavor.  I wasn't offered the option of the toppings, but that's probably for the best that I didn't have the extra sweetness, haha.  I definitely want to try out the Macchiato version as well since that one has the layered colors of the espresso and pink milk!

Chocolate Marshmallow Oreos



It's great when you see a limited edition flavor that you are already 99% sure that you'll like, haha.  In this case, I knew that chocolate and marshmallow flavors would be great together in an Oreo so I had to buy this!

What I wasn't expecting was for there to be marshmallow pieces in the cookie portion, and not just in the creme.  It tastes like little bits of marshmallows that you'd get in a hot chocolate packet, and you can see the little pieces in the cookies in the photo above.  The chocolate creme doesn't really taste that much like chocolate marshmallow to me, but it's still delicious with a rich chocolate flavor.  I would definitely love to see this one stick around for longer than a limited edition flavor!
