Skin Care, Foodie, & Parktime

Sissy came over this morning and we all ordered IHOP takeout for breakfast. Afterward we played with Emmy for a while before Sissy, June and I headed to the new skin care store.

We thought they were connected since they technically are but you pay separately. Me and June’s haul. The Panda’s Dream from Tony Moly is one of my favourites! It really does make me feel a little more awake.

I bought the two blue products from It’s Skin. The rest are June’s. Pore tightening serum and moisturizing mist. I just used both of these tonight and so far I’m feeling refreshed.

We stopped by Beard Papa’s, a place we’ve been dying to try. They are adorable but also costly. Each one costs almost $4!

Beard Papa's | Katy, Texas | Christmas Theme

They kept some festivity going with the sprinkles so they get some points there. As for taste, they’re not my favourite. We all agreed it’s not something we would ever crave and to be truthful I felt they tasted pretty much the same. We got vanilla creme in all of them but each shell is a different flavour.

Mum wanted us to take some boba back home to her so I got a Hazelnut Milk Tea from Yan Tea for myself. Verdict? Too sweet and way too much ice. More than half of my drink was ice! I was very disappointed since it’s not cheap at all! Definitely not coming back here especially because they were so disorganized.

[2018] 357/365: Photoshoot at the Park

A quick picture I snapped while the whole family went to the park. It was such a nice afternoon so it was perfect.

Brudda was going all out on his photography skills so I helped by holding a giant flash all around the park. Feeling a little important but mostly ridiculous.

Rizzo was so happy I was finally home and has not left squished next to me wherever I am. Sleepy baby.

Grotto Downtown | Houston, Texas

During breakfast Justin talked about Bang energy drinks which ended us in going to the convenience store downstairs. I will say that the rainbow unicorn was delicious but it is definitely too much for someone that usually only drinks water.

During lunch Vicki and I went to Grotto downtown. It was a long walk but it was nice to get away from the office. Plus the decor was so adorable!! And the food was good. We even stopped by Phonecia’s on the way back and picked up some cookies for the team.

After work Scruffy and I met up to give each other our stuff back. This didn’t include gifts for one another though. And later through texts and phone calls we decided to try out being friends and see how it goes. We talked about what ifs like if one of us had a significant other and they didn’t like our friendship. We decided to cross that bridge when it happens. I also joked if he’d ever be my bridesmaids if I got married.

Mum and June got me a taro smoothie from Kim’s Teahouse and I got delivery from Panda Express. Don’t worry, I didn’t eat it all.

Time for masks and relaxation. Happy Friday, y’all!

Teahouse with Juhi

September 9, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Sissy came over to see the parents and to have brunch. We ordered from The Maples, our first time trying it out and it was pretty decent. The only complaint I had were the potsto fries. I could have done without those. And I gave my toast to Mum. Scruffy said his burger wasn’t bad but will need to say mayo next time … Or buy a thing of mayo for my house. Haha

Scruffy and Luna left. Mum, Sissy, and June went shopping. Dad was watching telly while I updated my podcasts. Soon enough I was out the door to meet Juhi for our catch-up. She thought she had told me three thirty so I sat in my car for a good thirty minutes before she showed up.

[2018] 252/365: Complete Hilariousness

I didn’t mind though because I finally got Tiffany Haddish’s audiobook, The Last Black Unicorn. I’ve been waiting for this especially since it’s read by her. I am loving it so far and have had a few giggles. She is so real and raw and it’s completely refreshing.

Soon Juhi was knocking on my window scaring me and we walked into Kim’s Teahouse, ordered our drinks and literally talked for four and a half hours. From work to boyfriends to future. It’s been a while since I’ve had a girl’s talk so it was pretty nice. I also realized matcha pudding is pretty good.

Since then I’ve done my laundry and meal prepped. I am pooped and excited to finally go to bed.

Diablo Makes A Comeback

Lunch at The Pho Shack in Katy with June and Scruffy. This one does not compare to the original location. Soup though good wasn’t as great as the original. The eggrolls though filled with a lot didn’t have much flavour. The bean sprouts plate looked sad for two which let’s be real, looks like one serving. They’re cheaping out. Pho Saigon is still my go to. I’ll give it a month or so before coming back but they still have a lot to learn.

We went to Fiesta afterward so that I could buy a aloe vera stalkwe stopped my Zero Degrees for some drinks. I got the coffee horchata which Scruffy liked and the matcha milk tea, my favourite. I’m not too sure what June got but she said it was delicious as well. We agreed everything was overly sweet and if we ever came back we need to let them know to add less sugar.

We watched A Wrinkle In Time, played Diablo, and watched Up In The Air. It’s been a very cool Saturday which is exactly what I needed.

Now to shower and do my fresh aloe mask. Can I have my friends come and live near me so I can have facial nights and watch telly and sleepover?

Carb Overload

July 3, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Since it was Tuesday, no free breakfast, I went and grabbed my own at Corner Bakery. I was genuinely surprised that they didn’t put salt on the eggs which is a great plus for me. Funny story: one of the ladies at the place bought What-a-Burger and her manager made her put it in a Corner Bakery bag because it obviously looks bad to customers to see their own employees eating food from other places. But seriously? Who can eat the same thing every day?!

I went to Scruffy’s after work to start my July Fourth Festivities which is pretty much relaxing until tomorrow. I grabbed a Taro Smoothie from OG Tea when we went out to grab groceries for tomorrow.

[2018] 184/365: Pasta Dinner

Saleh came over for dinner and we’re about to play Risk. It’s been awhile since I had a pasta dinner at Scruffy’s but the real winner on this plate? The Brussels sprouts. You know, those Green Giant bags you just pop into the microwave? The salt and pepper Brussels sprouts are my favourite. Everything else is covered in butter these days so it’s great to have a different flavour. Also, the garlic bread this time was fantastic. Not too certain what they did differently but I had two! .. Or maybe I was just starving.
