Fall Mini Haul

Here's my bit of retail therapy from this weekend! Mostly super cozy, fall stuff even though it's still sweltering hot out. Now, I am really trying to save money (and failing evidently) but these things were calling to me & I needed to restock my Nespresso pods. 

In my Nespresso restock I have my tried & true pods: Nola, Chiaro, Scuro, Dolce, & Voltesso. I also ordered the new Cinnamon Apple Crisp pod. I am going to be brutally honest about the cinnamon apple crisp, I did not like it at all. It left a weird aftertaste in my mouth for the entire day, it smelled heavily like an apple scented candle but then tasted like nothing, & was a little more bitter than I expected. I think for fall coffee pods I'm going to stick with the Pumpkin Spice Cake ones lol. Have you had any yummy fall coffees yet?

What I bought at the Korean Grocery Store 


I'm trying my best to save money but I'm going to Florida to see my parents for my birthday & I had to run to the Korean grocery store to pick up some toner pads I'm running out of. They don't carry these at Ulta or Target & my parents live in the middle of nowhere so it was important I got around to grabbing them this past weekend. Of course while there I had to pick up some other goodies!

The Toner Pads are the Round Lab Pine Calming Cica Pads - these are a newer addition to my routine & I usually hold off on trying too many new products as a sensitive skin girly but I love these! I use them in the morning & I've noticed my skin is a lot smoother & softer! 

There are 2 drink pouches in my picture & of course, we bought an ice cup & an additional drink pouch for the drive home! The Cafe Real Shine Muscat Ade is our absolute favorite! I saw Jake have a muscat drink in an En-O'Clock episode (I love Jake what can I say, shout out Engenes!!!) so the first time we were at this store & I saw their selection of drinks I had to try that one. Both me & my boyfriend love it & every time I'm at this store I make sure to pick up an extra one for him to enjoy if he's not with me. He picked up a melon ade as well in the spirit of trying something new. 

The Hi-Chew Fantasy mix is another one of my boyfriend's picks & not gonna lie, these are soooooo yummy. Also in the spirit of trying new things, I picked up the Carbonara Turtle Chips (I usually just get the choco churro flavor) & these Loopy Tteokbokki shaped chips in the rose flavor. 

Lastly for the tried & true snacks, I picked up a white cookie pepero (the one with Bangchan ofc since he's my bias), Jagabee fries, Buldak Carbonara tteokbokki, & songpyeon. We did also pop in to the kpop store right across the street but I was feeling sick so we had to come home asap. All in all, successful trip! 

Ramblings about Halloween Nostalgia

There's something so warm & cozy about the 2000s fall/halloween aesthetic & maybe I just think that because I was a kid at that ...
