Snapshots

Snapshots time again :D
First off we took a trip to Cacao Green which is a new frozen yoghurt place at 285 Swanston St. Celeste was there for a food blogger event and as James and I have been writing for her on her food blog, we tagged along.
Me with the adorable owner Alvi, she was so sweet!
This is the best green tea latté I’ve ever tried period. I’m completely addicted to them now, I’ve been back like 3 times for more because even the large is only $4.70 XD
I had a delicious berry parfait (again I’ve been back for these!) so delicious.
James’ tried the blueberry waffles and he said it was the best he’s had in a long time.
I love hanging out with food bloggers, they are always so friendly and it was awesome to catch up with everyone!
I know I’ve mentioned visiting here before in snapshots when they just opened but it’s so yummy I could talk about them all day haha!
Everything here is all natural, fair trade, organic etc and the yoghurt is made from organic non-fat milk if you look out for things like that. Toppings
So that was an awesome day and I definitely recommend heading over to try a green tea latté :D
I think a lot of this snapshots post is about awesome places we’ve eaten >_< We were recently introduced to Korean fried chicken at a place called Gami Chicken and after discovering they deliver to our apartment it’s become a dangerous obsession haha! Cute sign at Gami:
Kev and Celeste trying to be serious for 5min so we could take photos.
Kim and I were trying to take photos together but SOMEONE was kind enough to photobomb us, she was so quick though the she looks like a ghost!
And my ever classy boyfriend does not let greasy chicken fingers get in the way of making the same face he makes in every single photo ever.
The poor trees in our area can’t decide whether it’s Winter or Autumn because of the strange weather so most of them seem to have dropped half their leaves and given up in protest.
I can’t believe it’s been so long and I haven’t posted these yet, I need to get organised and do snapshots more often. Months ago we had an MBBE meet where everyone brought make up they no longer needed or didn’t suit them and we swapped. I of course was running on half a brain that morning and forgot my bag of stuff >_< Seriously fail, I have since swapped and given it all to friends/bloggers who it would suit so it worked out in the end!
So much stuff!
Of course wer were all totally orderly about it…
Ok maybe not..
No clue what we were talking about here but apparently it was hilarious and involved some kind of hat!
Taking a change of pace, this is the saddest looking puppy ever:
Second only to this puppy (my Dad’s dog Ruby) who is only pretending to be sad so I will turn the heater on next to her basket.
We went to an event at MadMex so I could write a post for Celeste’s food blog and I had my first taste of “authentic” Mexican food.
James was in paradise here because he misses all of the Mexican available in Texas while he was growing up. I was really surprised how much I liked it too as I’m not a fan of spicy things.
Here in Aus, Mexican isn’t very common so they printed instructions of how to open a burrito on the napkin XD I think I still failed at it hahaha!
I’ve been looking around at a lot of junk stores lately for storage solutions and I spotted these cute garden pike thingies. I want to buy some and break off the legs so I can glue them to the bottoms of our windows, it would be so cute!
An adorable mini tea pot:
That’s all for now, tune in to the next snapshots post to laugh at the face I make tasting an oyster for the first time in many many years. I’m considering making a gif out of it XD And now back to video editing I go!

I just read this while on a break during a 16 hour shift. You made me smile and relax :) Sounds like you’ve been having some really fun times!
Thinking of helping you relax on long shifts always gives me a smile when I hit publish! <3
It’s always so fun to see your photos;D You’re soooo cute!! I must try that yummy looking green tea latte if I had a chance to visit MelbourneXD <3 xxx
Oh yes! If you come to Melbourne I will take you there :D Thanks Minnie <3
Looks like you’ve had a fun time, that green tea latte does look delicious xoxo
It’s been a really great couple of weeks! Seriously you need to try one of these lattes, so yummy!
I love your hair as always!!!
Thanks so much Jace!
Those waffles are such a cute shape :D
Yes! They all come apart into little hearts, so sweet :D
~ your first Mexican food ?!~ I’m astounded.!
Just returned from Austin from over the 4th of July weekend – if you didn’t get some, try some Queso (or: chili con queso)-spicy liquid cheese!! You eat it with tortilla chips…tacos, quesadilla, burritos..they’re ALL great! Sopapillas for dessert – you put honey on (or: IN) them if you like.
Here in the 505 – a.k.a. NEW Mexico, of course we have it 24/7 if we want it…*heehee!
And…so…? What sort of a burrito did you get, and what did you think? What else was on the menu? Just curious…
Those “instructions” made me giggle…
* ; )
Well I’ve had like Australia’s bastardised version of tacos etc but I imagine someone from Mexico would laugh at that kind of food being calle Mexican XD Honestly because we’re so far away from Mexico and there isn’t a big American population here there isn’t as big a market for it so there are only a couple of restaurants which are apparently not authentic haha. The owner is actually from California, he moved here with his wife and was disappointed he couldn’t get the food he grew up on so opened his own place to keep it as authentic as possible. I’ve never heard of Sopapillas, totally have to google it and see if I can make them ^_^ I’m not a fan of spicy foods so this time I stuck with the vegetarian burrito, very nice! You can read the full review that James and I wrote with the menu etc over here:

Lovely snapshots. ^^ I find it great that there are healthy foods there. I mean it’s always good to eat healthy right? Anyway, the puppies are cute! <3 I squeed at the junk shop pictures since there are always things that you can change or buy to suit crafting needs at a more than affordable price and there are cute.
I think I’m too lazy to eat healthy but I’m sure I’m going to pay for it later! It’s nice that there are places that still taste like junk food and aren’t too bad for me haha! I definitely need to head back and pick up that mini tea pot and window pickets!
Definately another place to add for my Melbourne shopiing day next week.
:D Yes! Totally give it a try, perfect for relaxing mid shopping trip!
Hey Violet! Do you use BB cream? If so, what brand do you use? Thanks! <3
Yep, I’ve done quite a few BB cream reviews here if you search in the side bar. My favorite is from The Face Shop but it’s been discontinued now. I’ll be checking out their new range soon :)
Ohh, frozen yogurt¡¡ I love it i’m adicted to the toppings :P. In my town have 2 new places where i can buy and a lot of times i need to turn my eyes to another party to don’t look because i’m in a diet¡¡ hahaha¡¡
Hahaha so yummy though!
It’s so weird how I’m like “What, instructions to OPEN a BURRITO?” But I forget not everyone can eat ‘authentic’ Mexican as often as Americans can XP
Haha no definitely not much Mexican to be found around here, though even I thought that instructions were a bit too far XD
I also had to have a giggle over the “instructions” for the burrito !
Me too! And you know the embarrassing part? I still managed to get it all over myself!
