Hey there! I got my hands on the Hello Kitty & Friends Monopoly x Sanrio 2022. Here is my unboxing video & game setup with a little bit of ASMR.
It was sold out on Sanrio by the time I saw it on Instagram (within a few hours of posting) so I found another site to get it from!
If you grew up with Hello Kitty & Friends it’s so good to see this version of Monopoly!

Hey there! Ngoc and I spent 2 days in Amsterdam and we did SO MUCH! From Moco Museum’s Banksy & Andy Warhol to a stroll in Vondelpark, and of course we had to do a canal tour! We also stopped by the Bloemenmarkt (flower market), the Hortus Botanicus, and I made sure to get a stroopwafel!
p.s. this was pre-panini in May 2019, I am 3 years late to editing lol.
Watch our London adventures here: https://youtu.be/RLOzSSkn0GY
| Day 1 | Omelegg, Henri Willig Dutch Cheese Shop, Moco Museum, Vondelpark, Vegan Junk Food Bar
| Day 2 | Hortus Botanicus (botanical garden), Canal Tour, Bloemenmarkt flower market, Melly’s Stroopwafel, Lunch @ Thai Place
Not in the vlog but notable things:
– Everything tends to be designed for taller people
– Their grocery markets are cute and I was on the hunt for stroopwafels
– I requested to use the restroom while we got takeout a Thai place and they got a key and brought me to an apartment’s restroom upstairs
– RyanAir is the European version of Spirit lol

This video was inspired by some of my friends who have never been skiing or snowboarding before and needed advice! My opinions/advice on ski gear and snow clothes are based on my experiences over the years.

Hey all, I decided to plan a ski trip to Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH to celebrate my winter birthday! We went skiing/snowboarding and had a blast♡ I also brought my GoPro Hero 8 out for the first time!!
Black Mtn. Burger Co. and The Common Man were some recommended food places we tried! I’m grateful that as a group of 10 we were able to secure lodging, ski things, and dinner tables!
My next video might add to my travel packing series: how to pack for a ski trip! Along with advice on what kind of stuff to pack.
Shoutout to everyone who made the trip a good time and helped out with stuff: Ricky, Theresia, Gabe, Stacy, Austin, Eric, Alice, Ngoc, & Brian!
As always thanks for yeeting me around while I provide moral support from the passenger seat my love♡
Hey guys! I finally received my Daiso haul that my cousin had to ship over. Sarah and I shopped around in Daiso and Teso and got a bunch of hello kitty items. I also got some travel-related items and more.
Hey! I recently did a 4 day trip with a backpack and here’s how I packed it. I challenged myself to pack everything I needed for the long weekend in my backpack because the airline I flew (JetBlue) changed their basic fare policy to not include carry-ons anymore.
A few years ago, I could never do this. I went to Minneapolis for 2 days, 1 night and could barely fit my stuff into my North Face Borealis Backpack at the time! (I did have to bring a bath towel + shower flip flops.)

Luckily I have a backpack with a lot of compartments plus a bottle holder and zipper pocket on the sides which helps a lot!
I understand this was more doable because I was traveling to a warmer area but I might do a 3-day Fall in New York City backpack version where I also flew Jetblue.
My company gave me this backpack when I started my career but I believe this is the model if you are interested as well: https://amzn.to/3BH15TU
Can you resist a challenge? I can’t!
Take your friends and family along to tackle rooms and more at Level99 in Natick Mall (Massachusetts). It’s like an escape room but it exploded into a huge space and has not-so-mini challenge rooms. If you’ve been to Boda Borg in Boston (Malden), you’ll like this! I haven’t been to BB myself but my friends who have been told me it’s similar.
Our advice for a good time:
This week’s vlog ft. Theresia! We went to Glazy Susan to get donuts for breakfast, wandered Tower Hill Botanic Garden, and ate yummy Cajun food at NOLA Cajun Kitchen. Hehe it was a very wholesome reunion if you watch until the end *__*
Glazy Susan’s donut menu for June included a few kinds of strawberry donuts so I basically had to order them all hehe. Unfortunately, if you want any of these flavors, it may not be available because the menu changes monthly but stay tuned for July!
If you stop by NOLA Cajun Kitchen for a meal, I recommend their seafood garlic noodles–medium spicy with your preferred choice of seafood! And their calamari basket (the cajun fries that come with it are so good too).
If you liked this post or vlog, please give it a thumbs up and stay tuned for more! 🙂

Hey guys, my goal is to document more memories by scrapbooking or memory journaling so here is how my scrapbook looks! Hope you enjoy this scrapbook flip-through and maybe gets some ideas and inspiration to document your year on paper 🙂
Most of my supplies are from Michael’s or other craft stores!
Honestly I don’t recommend the scrapbook I used because the wire is starting to be wonky but I LOVE the markers I used.
