virgils & fentimans & wild poppy



Virgil's is my boyfriend's favorite root beer, and we finally found it at Whole Foods. There were quite a few brands and drinks that we've never heard of before so we also picked up Fentimans Cherry Tree Cola that had a very cute dog logo. 

Virgil's root beer tastes like black licorice &
Fentimans cherry tree cola tastes like sour cherry 


I also had to try this wild poppy because the bottle is too cute.
I love the little poppy.

I actually really like this one! It really does taste like peach and the light vanilla makes it very sweet.

cat grass update // approved

Jaws mowed the grass down, so I think he likes it

Zeni Ethiopian Restaurant



meat combination & ye doro tibs

I love Ethiopian food and this is probably my favorite place. The flavors are so bold and buttery with a little bit of spice. The cheese and the salad add a nice refreshing touch, especially good on very hot days. This restaurant has won tons of awards, and I highly recommend it!

egg planters

after four days

growing grass in eggs

after three days 

Because of the drought here in California most of the grass around our house is dead and my two cats have nothing to snack on so I planted some cat grass for them until it rains here again. The eggshells are super cute and also great to put seeds in because they will decompose and add nutrients to the soil when moved to a bigger pot.

I soaked the seeds for a couple of days first, and then filled the eggshells with potting soil and crammed a bunch of seeds into each egg. I didn't expect so many of them to grow, so I'll probably have to move them to a bigger pot sooner than I expected.

demi perfumes


coconut milk mango & thai lily // anthro perfumes


Two favorite scents at the moment! Both from Anthropologie, and they have the cutest packaging. I love the prints and colors on the outer case and the little crown above "go be lovely" is adorable. They both have a very sweet scent, but still very light and fresh. Thai Lily I wear almost everyday and it has a very flowery scent and clean, like soap. And Coconut Milk Mango has a very creamy and buttery scent. The coconut and mango are very light, so it's not an overwhelming tropical scent, I usually wear this one on special occasions, because the buttery sent seems very luxurious to me. Both are very wearable and last a long time without being too heavy.
