Sharks on the Beach smoothie from Wawa

I was not expecting this to look as good as it did lol

Edit: the smoothie had ice cream base, blue raspberry syrup, salted caramel syrup, crushed up graham crackers, & gummy sharks. It kind if tasted like marshmallow though.

The drink is 16oz (ounces). I have small hands and the photo angle was weird, so it looks bigger than it was.

Ordered a Caroline Cat Plush…

I unfortunately fell for a tiktok scam ad. I’ve been so excited for this to come in too! I feel like my grandma with her facebook scams 😭😭 I paid 40 DOLLARS FOR THISSSS 💔 It’s my fault for not looking into it more… lesson learned. will be refunding and ordering from the real website 😔 stay away from vossera / vossaoffical PLS !

Krispy Kreme Pokemon Collection

Honestly, I was expecting a cluster and got some donuts pretty close to the pictures! The only real “woof” is Squirtle, but that was always going to be a tough one.

Decided to upgrade to a room with a sea view

My husband and I are more “boutique-hotel-and-explore” type of people but we’re traveling for a friend’s wedding and decided to spend a couple nights at a beach resort. I believe there‘s an important lesson here about room upgrades being a total waste of money but, in this case, it was worse than a waste of money because our “sea view“ put us directly above the bar area, where they had extremely loud live music until midnight every night of our stay. So basically we paid extra to get like the worst room in the resort.

German Pizza from the organic shop ◠̈

I bought two. Neither of them looks particularly good, but one of them didn’t even have any proper cheese on it. And yes, I did let them defrost properly, as recommended on the packaging.

I saw someone else posting their concept vs final tattoo and wanted to join in

The crab on the (image) left is Charybdis feriata and the crab on the right is Scylla olivacea. Or crucifix crab and mud crab.

It started as an inside joke and I committed to the bit. I am the priestess of a crab cult, and I got these to honour the crab god Carcinos (praise be 🙌) lol

I sent her a the drawing and basically said “go nuts. got some of my favourite tattoos out of it
