melt in your mouth ... not in your hand

Just cannot resist adding the cuteness of the M&Mies .... don't you just love to munch them ? :)

Calories Peek: 5 of them = 52 calories

My beauty excuse: They are too cute to be missed ;)

hello kitty candies

OMG ! Soooooo cuteeeeeee !! ... well, I am not really a candy person .... but yes, you guess it ... I bought this because of the containers hahaha ... nevertheless, the yellow one is the mixed fruit flavor, and the purple is the grape flavor ... hmmmm, it tastes like any sugary-fruity-candies, however, the Hello Kitty makes it tastes nicer and sweeter  ;)

Calories Peek: Each 2oz container has 180 calories

My beauty excuse: Moshimoshi, it's Hello Kitty !

exotic cream wafers

Coconut and Durian ... don't you feel like you are in an exotic place? ... You can taste the coconut flavor in the wafer, and it is has that crisp, light and not too sweet taste which I like ... as for the durian one, I find the smell too strong, or rather overpowering, for a wafer munch ... (ok, before you judge me, I am a actually durian fruit lover ... so I know what a durian is !)

Calories Peek: Two exotic wafers has 90 calories ... each pack has 24 wafers (trust me, it is so light you can consume all at one go!)

My beauty excuse: ... exotic ... beach ... sun ... relaxation ... calm ... breathe in ... breathe out ... 

hello cute little pandas

My japanese friend introduced me her favorite munch, and she taught me to toast them for a few minutes before eating ... trust me, the crunchiness of the shortbread layer and the warm rich creamy fillings really melt my heart away ... hello hello little pandas !

Calories Peek: 

2oz Chocolate box has 486 calories [ ... still my favorite choice ... ]
2oz Strawberry box has 480 calories
2oz Milk Cream box has 438 calories

My beauty excuse: How can you say "No" to something so helpless, so tiny, so cute, so tasty ... I just love helping them to satisfy their existence in life ... a happy me makes a beautiful me :P

the mini wafer

These mini-wafers are addictive ! It actually comes in many flavors but "Hazelnut" is my favorite ...

Calories Peek: Each box contains 64 pieces which totaled to 1680 calories. About 26 calories per the mini-wafers.

My beauty reason: Dare I say it has some tiny bits of cocoa which helps to prevent aging hehe ...

female daily essentials

For some reasons, if you get Yoplait from Costco, they only come in these three flavors ... I like the Harvest Peach the best due to the mild refreshing taste. I find Blueberry and Strawberry flavors somewhat has stronger and sweeter taste.

Calories Peek: Each 6oz Yoplait has 170 calories.

My beauty excuse: Do you ever wonder what "live and active cultures" on the Yoplait means ? It means that the yogurt has probiotics - good bacteria that "that live in your digestive tract and help crowd out harmful microorganisms that can cause intestinal infections". Also, this yogurt contains high percentage of Calcium and Vitamin D which may help to prevent osteoporosis. Very good for female. :)

a girl's best friend - almond

I always thought raw almonds are used for baking. When I saw this packet of raw almonds at the snacks section in Trader Joe's, I just could not resist the curiosity to try it ... and amazingly, never thought that the raw taste of almonds could be so crunchy and actually sweet ..

Calories Peek: One 1/4 cup of almonds = 160 calories ... gives you the recommended levels of vitamins, minerals, and protein you need for each day !

My beauty excuse: Do you know that almond is actually a girl's best friend ? It has excellent source of vitamin E which helps to skin maintenance, rich in unsaturated fats which helps to lower the bad cholesterol, rich source of calcium which helps to prevent osteoporosis ... just to name a few ... definitely a good healthy munch that you can snack on every minute without having to worry about putting an ounce of fats :)

my favorite chocolate of all time

Ferrero Rocher. My sinfully sweet lover. The combination of milk chocolates, hazelnuts, crispy wafer, and Nutella fillings just simply melts my defenses away. Believe it or not, I can munch 30 of them within an hour !

Calories Peek: Each Ferrero Rocher contains 73 calories ... oooh, who cares ? it is soooo worth it ! :) munching one right now as I type haha ...

My beauty excuse: It has cacao which is super-rich in antioxidants (Fine, milk chocolate has lower % of cocoa, but still ...) which prevents sign of aging ! Do you need any more reasons ?
