amazing stuff from "lush"

lush is a nifty little store by the entrance to the myer building at rundle mall. They specialize in making amazing/creative soaps and sell other great smelling bath time/ skin and hair products.

the texture of these soaps were kind of like grainy/sandy but OMG they smelt AH-MA-ZING! especially the gingerbread house one that looked and smelt almost good enough to eat!

doesn't that gold soap look glorious? i do wonder if it would leave your skin gold though!

then i came across this!it smells so gooood and it feels like putty looks like jelly but it's shower jelly! it's so entertaining and unique too O.O

the chocolate bar looking thing is henna hair dye and each little section is about half the size of my iphone, which makes the full bar MASSIVE and for medium to long hiar you'd need to use the full bar. The large bucket to the right is an amazing body scrub like gel for your hair and it gives it amazing "bounce" and volume.

these bath bombs were gorgeous! theres even a santa shaped one. Some of them released flower petals too.

so yeah if you get the time and your in rundle mall you should definitely visit this great little shop! you'll never know what interesting products you'll stumble upon

the crepe's story

ive always been a massive fan when it comes to sweet foods and desserts, and combined with cute decor The crepe's story is a favorite place of mine to stop by.

The crepe story is a cute little "hole in the wall" style shop at the end of rundle street near chatime, it's hard to miss it with the cute logo and pink wallpaper.

There's such a great variety of sweet and savory crepe's, and every time i go past the crepe story i can't help but drool over the "cheesecake deluxe" and "brownie deluxe", alongside the original crepe you choose there's a ton of extra's you can ad (such as ice cream, cream, nutella, fruits ect.), it's also quite affordable with crepe's ranging from $4.50-$10.00

obsession with dresses

lol so i admittedly have a bit of an obssesion with dresses O.O i see one.. i like it.. and i buy it, the i wear it once and dont think about it again >.< which is a real shame. Anyways here's a selca of the last dress i wore other than my school one-.-"

asian snacks

I always love going into asian grocers and seeing what interesting/ strange snacks and drinks they have, and I've come to realise americans aren't the only ones who like to "supersize" food. In fact a not too long ago i came across a Giant Caplico

don't let the packaging and look of it fool you though, it's not an ice cream but rather like strawberry wafer/aero chocolate in an ice cream cone with bubbly melt in your mouth chocolate in the centre. Texturally it's one of the most interesting snacks to eat!
I also came across the mother of all Ramunes, on the label it said "giant ramune" LOL the picture does not do it justice this thing was huge!

lol don't mind my awkward looking facial expression..

Morning glory

Morning glory is by far one of my most favourite asian stores/ gift store chains in adelaide (maybe the whole world? :P)
every time I'm in the city I can't help but go into one of their stores to marvel and fan girl over their cute Totoro,domo, angry birds and other asian stationary and plush toy goodies!

store front always is colourful and inviting!

I think this highlights just how obsessed asians are with angry birds almost every morning glory has 1-2 shelves dedicated to angry birds merch
I believe I died a little inside knowing I didn't have enough money to buy what i saw next...

oh aren't those yoshi slippers glorious?

and these mario mushroom slippers are "asdfghjkl" keyboard spazz worthy!

cool cans

I've always found the "jones soda" bottles interesting.. especially their world of warcraft bottles they had at one stage. Today at school this morning i came across the coolest V can/ energy drink can i've seen in a while A "call of duty modern warfare:3" can, honestly this is proberbly the BEST marketting idea EVAR

ADMIRE THAT DAMN CAN >:D

day out in the city

It had been while since i was last in the city for a full day, so i asked my friend Amy if she wanted to visit all the Asian stores and go to kbox with me ^.^ (what we asians do yoo~). First i wanted to get ice cream from the marijuana er.. mariana market (practically an asian grocery with everything that you wish other asian grocers had that even has its own smoothie stand in it) lol the buildings big and green and from across the road the sign looks like it says "marijuana". Inside there are so many samples for everything, and being the curious person i am i was quite interested in the "sheep's milk yoghurt" so i tried it.. and BLEH its gross

but yeah Amy got a chocolate mochi icecream pack and i got this weird um.. icy pop? bottle? icy bottle? anyways it was a strange pear flavour and eating it was so difficult and i bet i looked like a complete freak (meh.. oh well twas nomy)

Anyone that's been with me out to town will know i have an uncanny admiration for everything in morning glory so that's were we decided we had to go! I saw this big cuddly looking soft pink teddy bear.. that i couldn't afford -.-" (hint for early christmas present *wink *wink)

so yeah then after that we got crepe's (amy had the strawberry cream and i the warm nutella and mango which was a pain to eat due to the nutella melting everywhere>.<), went to kbox and i stalked a guy down hindley street to get a picture of behind his head cause it was the first time i'd ever seen anyone have a footbal pattern cut and coloured into their hair. All summed up in the following photo collage

adelaide central markets

Although often I whine about how boring and small Adelaide is I've come to realization that there are many small treasures in this great city and cute old stores that keep it feeling very hm... whats the word.. towny? Anyways my boyfriend and i were completely lost as to what we should do so we decided to look around the central markets, and we came across one of a few Blackeby's candy stalls in Adelaide city (well.. there goes my diet)

Other than the large brightly coloured swirly lollipops, gumballs, fairy floss and gummies I was being tempted by the ultimate chock block full of carbs and sugar.. ah damn you american candy bars

There was also this very interesting setup of drinks that i'd never seen before O.O i'm curious as to what the green "coola" tastes like (does this remind you of a hospital setup slightly?)
