Cold Rock ice cream goodness

By now you should know, I'm a lover of all things sweet. On the weekend, I went to Cold Rock Ice Creamery to check out some of their ice cream. If you don't know what Cold Rock is, they are famous for their customisable ice cream with an awesome selection of mix ins. As soon as we walked in, the Hubs was drawn to their ice cream cakes. He has already picked his birthday cake for next year lol.

At the front of the shop, they have a countdown till Christmas!! How quick has the year gone by? This year Cold Rock is running a promotion based on the Christmas Advent Calendar concept. Everyday, starting on 1st to the 24th of December, there will be a new offer each day. When I popped into the store on the weekend, the were offering free Nerd mix in with any large ice cream purchased. 

This was only just half of the ice cream they have on offer, I couldn't fit the rest in one photo. We stood there for like 10 mins deciding what to get. I was taking a lot photos, the lady at the store must of thought I was an asian tourist lol. The most logical thing would have been for me to explain why I was taking photos but I get too embarrassed talking about my blog so I just try to take photos as quickly as possible without looking weird.

If you have never been to Cold Rock this is what happens (I'm talking like some kinda expert when I've only been once lol):

• Pick the size of the ice cream
• Pick the ice cream flavour
• Pick any mix in you want
• Lady/Guy at the counter will mix your mix in with the ice cream 

I ended up getting the cookies & cream ice cream and added oreo cookies into it. Might I say, it was quite tasty.

To check out the Cold Rock daily offers, please click on the below button which will take you to their facebook page! I can't believe it has taken me this long to try out their ice cream. I'm definitely going to be back a few more times this summer!

Have you tried Cold Rock ice cream?

My Week

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, mine was pretty good. I finally went to check out the new Melbourne CBD Daiso that recently opened. This Daiso is huge, a lot bigger than the Richmond store. I think I spent close to 45mins in there, I did like 3 laps of the place lol. I ended up getting exfoliating gloves, face washing brush, fluffy headband and a plastic folder for study. I'm not sure how effective this face washing brush is, looks kinda weird looking but I'll do a review on it after I've used for a few weeks.

I also finally washed my real technique brushes after receiving them 2 weeks ago. As you can see I'm waiting for them to dry on the clothes horse lol The blush brush is so soft and fluffy, can't wait to use them.

 I managed to buy another 4 Essie nail polishes.

Light to Right - 681 Status Symbol, 710 Van D'Go, 706 Neo Whimsical, 758 Absolutely Shore

Picked up Lush brazened honey fresh face mask, review to follow! I haven't tried brazened honey before.

My bb cream got delivered on Monday. If you follow me on twitter, you probably would have known how silly I was. I purchased this thinking it was a full size product (50ml) when I opened it up, it was only a sample size (20ml) lol got ripped off pretty badly.

 Highlight of the week was when my couz came over Saturday night and brought over macarons!!! Sooooo delish!!

How was your weekend?

Thanks for reading!!!

Birthday weekend!

Happy Sunday!!! I took Friday off work to celebrate my birthday. YEP I turned 18 again! haha I spent the whole day indulging in naughty foods. I got myself a pearl milk tea, haven't had one this since high school. Can you believe this one drink is 400ish calories?? Pretty insane I tell ya. After lunch, I had a cookies and cream cupcake from Melbourne Central. This cake was delicious, I could have eaten another 4 of them lol!!

For dinner, we went to Meat & Wine Co. I got the fillet and had a berry sour cocktail to go with it. Dessert we had a chocolate and pistachio fondant. After dinner, we went to karoake. I actually did pretty well singing the whole night with a cold lol Saturday was spent recovering.

Saturday night celebrated with the family. My sis and her bf's bday is a few days after mine so we usually have a joint dinner together. This year we decided to get a chinese-viet cake from Springvale. The O Clock watch is one of my presents.

Another year has gone by, how quick has it been?

Hope you have a lovely weekend!!!

Bloggy business cards!!!

Happy Wednesday!! My blog business cards has finally arrived!! It took a good 4 weeks to be delivered. You may be asking why do I need business cards for my blog?? Well I don't need it lol, I thought these guys were pretty cute so I ordered them (a random moment). I have no use for business cards what so ever maybe I can drop one here and there hoping someone will pick it up lol.

  I bought 100 mini business cards from moo which will last me a life time. All up it cost me $18 (incl. delivery), pretty decent pricing. Even though the theme of these cards don't really go with the theme of my blog, I thought these girls are asian and I'm asian so we have something in common there.

 I have been obsessing over my QR code, fascinated at how this black messy thing can be linked to my blog. Probably one of the reasons why I got the cards is to attach my QR code onto it lol

Now I need some advice

Does anyone else have business cards for their blogs? Who and when do you give them out?

Thanks for reading!!

My new toy!!!

Say Hello to my new toy!! I thought I have spammed enough on twitter and that it was time to move onto spamming my blog about my new baby Samsung Galaxy S3!!

I have been obsessed for months about getting this phone, constantly checking the release date. When it was finally released last Thursday (31st of May), I ordered on Optus straight away. This new toy of mine finally arrived Friday morning. I was tracking my phone like crazy, sometimes I think I have OCD or something.

Here are some pics I took of my awesome phone

When I open the box, I was surprised at how thin and light this phone is!! I can't really comment on the phones hardware since I'm not a techy person but it's fast and has a quad core!! I love the big screen, good for watching youtube in bed or reading news on the train. The camera is amazing too!! I recently signed up for Instagram (sparklingker), get ready for some random photo spamming lol Let me tell you this phone is BIG. My hands are quite large for a chick and I can only just manage to wrap my hands around it. Overall, I am very impressed with this phone.

So far the apps I have downloaded are:

• whatsapp
• draw something
• facebook
• twitter
• barcode scanner
• instagram

So tell me, are you an android user? Recommend me some free apps to download!! I never pay for stuff I can get for free lol

Thanks for reading =)

Madame Tussauds Sydney!!!

Happy Monday!!!! Last month we went to Sydney and visited Madame Tussauds! I took a bunch of random photos.

 

 Golfing with Greg Norman

 

Rihanna LOL check out my awesome tutu skirt

Whispering into Julia Gillard's ear lol

Posing with Lleyton Hewitt

The bathroom scene!!

Bending with Marilyn Monroe

 

I forgot who this dude is lol (comment below if you know)

Love going to Madame Tussauds, it's so much fun taking silly photos. It doesn't matter if I know the person or not, I'll take a photo with anyone lol This is my second time going to Madame Tussauds, first time was in Hollywood and it was just as much fun if not more.

Have you been to Madame Tussauds? Who did you take photos with?

Weekend: Dingley Village Adventure Mini Golf

Happy Monday! Hope you lovelies are enjoying your Easter break so far! Good Friday, B and I went to Dingley Village Adventure Mini Golf. It was mad fun, this is my first proper mini golf place I've been to.

 

 OOTD

Top: Kookai

Shorts: Witchery

Shoes: Converse chucks (my favourite shoes in the world)

Necklace: Forever New (got it for $3, RRP was $29.95!!)

 

This place is awesome, its just not some flat course. You go in and out of huts and some of the hole are three levels.

 

They got 2 courses, an indoor and outdoor. I prefer the outdoor course, the indoor seems a little too gloomy.

 

Dinner was at Fiesta in South Yarra, B loves his mexican food. Back in the US, he would eat mexican every week but in Australia mexican food is a tad expensive. The sangria we had was not as good as the one we made on Christmas. We found the receipe on taste.com.

 I ordered the chicken and beef fajita. The servings are huge, my tummy felt like it was going to explode after dinner lol

After dinner, we went to see American Pie reunion. I spent the last few Saturday nights catching up on the 3 older American Pie movies in anticipation for this lol. The movie was hilarious!!! 

How was your weekend?

Weekend: Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show!

Happy Sunday!!! This weekend B and I headed to the Melbourne International Flower & Garden show. This is my second time going, last year I was a volunteer at one of the charities. I'm not a fan of gardening but I do love going to see the flowers there, so many beautiful floral decorations and arrangements.

 I do wonder though, how they kept some of their flowers alive.

Check out the cute little grass rabbits on the bottom right corner.

 If my wedding wasn't cherry blossom themed, I would have picked this as my centre piece. It's so simple yet beautiful.

 It really amazes me to see how this was put together.

 

 Today I was wearing my bracelet from OASAP. If anyone is interested this is a closeup of my bracelet. I was going to take an outfit pic but I completed forgot.

 There was a Garnier dome there, kinda random to have a skincare beauty place in a flower show but hey I'm not complaining lol Had to wait like 15-20mins in the queue but so worth the wait!

 Inside the dome, they can recommend skincare, hairstyling or a massage. I got a massage even though the line was the longest wait. The Garnier girl was amazing, I thought it would be a shabby shoulder and neck massage but I really enjoyed it.

 When people leave, they hand out a goodies bag. Garnier was very generous, the products were all full size!! They said this bag is worth over $50! The good thing was they put in everyday products that ppl would use.

Going to the flower show has got me thinking, I would like to learn floral arrangements some time in the future after I finish studying. I am making my wedding bouquet and will be posting about it in the next week or two.


Has anyone else been to a similar flower show?

Weekend: Sakura Lounge & Moomba!

Happy Sunday!!!!! Us Melbournians have a long weekend, tmr is a public holiday!!! Today we went for a relaxing massage at Sakura Lounge & then off to Moomba! The front entrance of Sakura Lounge looks kinda seedy lol They are quite busy and the only booking they had 2 weeks ago was for 10am today. We picked the couples package which consisted of 30min foot massage, 1hr body massage and 1hr facial. During the foot massage, they give you japanese tea and a mochi, since B is not a fan of sweet foods I took the honour of finishing his too. Mochi's are so delish! Foot massage was awesome, loved it. Body massage was alright, I still love the massages from Thailand. Facial was good, they even massage my face and shoulders. What I didn't like was the smell of the oil they used and I went out for the rest of the day with a greasy face.

 

 The massage went for over 2.5hrs by the time we got out B was starving so we went next door to the Korean restaurant and got korean BBQ.

After lunch we headed to Moomba! I walked past these girls who won these huge ass sheeps and so cute too so I told B I wanted one. The next 30mins we walked around looking for one of those game stands with the sheep. I think we spent like 30bucks on different games trying to win the sheep. Finally, we found a game where you try to throw a plastic ball into a bucket and we GOT IT!!!!!! My victory pose with my new Sheep called Sheepy lol Oh yes this is the first photo which shows my face..woo hoo!

 

After we got the sheep, we were drained so decided to go home and rest a little. At 6ish we headed back to Moomba to try out these curly potato things? I had chicken salt sprinkled over my twisty potato, it was yum but I don't think I could eat it again anytime soon, too fatty for me.

 

I love corn!

 These churros were so tasty, melts in your mouth.

This is the end of my Sunday.... probably watch some tv before going to bed, my legs are killing me from all the walking today. My post are getting longer and longer.. it only means one thing I'm rambling!

Soo.. how much money did you spend to win a toy from a festival?

Thanks for reading!
