Quite Possibly the Cutest Snack Ever Made!

Okay, did I tell you guys that I am totally obsessed with hummus these days? Just can't get enough of it.

Anyway, I found these adorable little individual hummus snack packs at Target. They're made by Sabra which is one of my favorite hummus brands. A little expensive for a college girl at 1.99 a pack, but they were just too cute to pass up and they fit perfectly in my dorm fridge. :)

I (Heart) My New Mug!

I WAS FEELING BLUE, BUT NOW I'M HAPPY AND GREEN!


Confession time. I have been so homesick lately. I couldn't wait to live at college and be all on my own. Now, the things I took for granted (like my own private bathroom) seem so special and privileged!

Anyway, if you know me, you know that I'm a "tea-totaller." Love my teas. Especially my green teas. So, my mom sent me a green mug for my green tea (works for coffee and hot chocolate too).

Great thing about this new Aladdin Sustainable Mug is that it's recycled. And my dorm room theme is pink and you guessed it - green!

It's also a neat little "ice-breaker" and that's pretty cool for meeting new people at college. Aladdin makes so much cute stuff!

No Makeup Today - I'm Nursing a Cold :(

Well, I guess college life is catching up with me. Just when I thought I was getting adjusted to being in a new place, living with new people, new classes and whole new world, I come down with this icky cold.

I haven't felt much like putting on any makeup at all. I do make sure to continue with my regiment of keeping my face nice and clean (love you Juice Beauty) and I'm wearing my hair naturally curly (thanks, Carol's Daughter).

I brought a nice little stash of tea to college with me. All my faves. Used my last Lupicia Golden Honey Dew this morning. It's so sweet and light and soothing to my throat. I called my mom and said, "Hey, can you stop by Lupicia in San Francisco and mail me a pack of Golden Honey Dew tea bags."

UPDATE: Lupicia does still carry the tea - but it's available in stores only! YAY

Happy Halloween! Here's to all treats and no tricks!

I was so excited about my first Halloween at college. One problem. It's raining outside. Good thing we have a great rec room in my dorm. Maybe we'll "trick or treat" inside. We're not too old for trick or treating, right?

Anyway, I found the cutest "ringmaster" costume. Kind of like the one that Britney Spears wore on the cover of her album.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy halloween. Remember, have fun - but not too much fun!

Things I'm Currently Obsessed With!

College is a lot of hard work and it's a big adjustment from high school. I just finished my mid-terms. Here are a few things that I am loving right now. Came home for the weekend and had my mom take me to Target to stock up on my current passions, which include:

Swiss Ice Sweet Tea - OMG - this stuff is amazing. They sell it in the store on campus, but it's about half the price at Target.

Bear Naked Granola - There are several flavors but I like the original. Can't have my yogurt in the mornings without it.

Kraft Easy Mac - Yup - a must have in any decent dorm room.

Snyder's Pretzels - love 'em. Ultimate brain food.

MAC Disney Venomous Villains Collection

As you know, I'm in college now, so I don't have a chance to do much shopping. I'm just at school - day and night. Which is a good thing. And aside from the fact that there's little time to hit the mall, there's also little money (cuz I'm a starving student - LOL).

But, I did come home this weekend. My mom "bribed" me by telling me that the MAC Store has a new Disney collection. I want the entire collection!! The colors, the packaging - amazing!

I did manage to score a lip color - and oh, there's this new Mascara from Mac that's like 2-in-one - got that too!

Who would have thought that Cruella de Ville could look so good?
