.....Asian munchies

One of my favorite things to do is walk up and down the isles of the Asian market and just grab random things that look interesting and buy them. 80% of the time I like what I get. 
I especially like all the sweets and candies they sell, all so interesting and yummy!

Today my finds range from Snow Crackers (that taste sweet and salty at the same time, kind of like kettle corn) to Jell cups in various flavors with those addicting little jelled coconut squares.

They even came with little spoons.

This was a very strange/new flavor to me, it was pretty good.

......Sushi days

If you didn't already know, I love sushi, I love making it and I love eating it.
I made some with tempura asparagus, cucumber, vegan cream cheese and tomago yaki, which is an asian seasoned omelet like egg thingy. (yes I'm vegan but I eat eggs on occasion only if they are from my neighbor or a local farm where I know the chickens were not harmed in any way and are happy free roaming chickens)

.....Thai corner cafe

Today I went to the movies to see that new Red Riding Hood movie, it was pretty good :) A fun twist and some yummy men, plus Amanda Seyfried who is beautiful and on my favorite actress list.

Afterward me and my mom ate at a new Thai place in town, Thai Corner Cafe, I love it there! And they are very vegan friendly. 
I got the yellow curry and it was AMAZING and spring rolls with the best peanut sauce ever. My mom got the tofu veggie soup. They also give you this really neat sweet tangy cucumber salad with a very unique flavor. After eating all the yummy curry fillings, I had sauce left so I asked for a to-go container and I got back this tiny adorable little box! :)
Awesome.

......Dusty rose remix

So, I haven't had much time for outfits lately, but I wore this amazing sweater again and switched it up and made it a little more feminine, I thought the look deserved a post. And it's been awhile since I last posted.

 I have been watching quite a few Korean dramas lately and I have been working knee high socks and skirts/shorts into my wardrobe a lot as a result.
The inspiration comes from seeing the girls always in their school uniforms of skirts and socks.
I like the look and it's fun to wear.

I always get sort of excited when I buy new shampoo/bath products, and I do it often because I don't like to use the same thing for too long, I get easily bored of it. Today I got a passion fruit and guava one and it smells super yummy, I also got some yellow nail polish and a few things at our bargain bin thrift store. :)

......Dusty rose

On my most recent thrifting excursion, one of my finds was this lovely crochet cutout-sleeve rose colored sweater.
I love the color and detailing, and of course, the fact that it is an over sized sweater :) Hehe.
Yay winter, must you end?

.....Lazy saturday

Today I had a relaxing day of sleeping in, making chocolate chip pancakes, then napping with my cats, reading my latest 2 issues of W magazine, and lounging about lazily until I got out of bed and made some vegan shrimp and cocktail sauce for lunch. Ahhh, so nice. That is until my closing shift at work tonight....Sigh.
=/
Oh, I should also mention, I woke up to a winter wonderland with ice sickles outside my window.
And after this month of spring like weather I have to get back into winter mode.
I always like how the snow makes everything so bright!

.....Valentine's day

Well, I had such high hopes for today! 
It's my favorite, and I had fun stuff like making cute desserts planned....
But that all went out the window when I woke up this morning, even after I saw my wonderful gifts waiting for me on my laptop. (can you say amazing chocolate?) 
Because.....I have had the worst sore throat all day, and even during the night. I guess I'm sick. :(

It's completely ruined my lovely once a year day....But I still dressed up in my valentine's day outfit and went out to Forever21 for the sale they had going on and have been watching a Korean drama with my cousin Lina over the phone :) 
 Which definitely brightened my day.

I hope everyone's V day was lovely and fun. :)

......Cat dress

Today I wore my vintage cat dress from, this post.

I loved it when I saw it and I'm so glad I bought it.
 I already named the cats in the print after my own kitties.    ^_^
