Sweet Saturday #1: A Magnum Experience

               After going through a lot of hassle just to get it, I finally have in my hands one of the most recently talked about ice cream on the market: the new Magnum ice cream from Selecta. Ever since I decided to create the Sweet Saturday meme, I already had in mind that Magnum ice cream would be my first post.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get my hands on it immediately because the stores near my house were all sold out! That’s how popular it is. This of course made me want it even more and the frustration of not being able to taste it grew.

               The first chance I got to visit a large supermarket I immediately went to the ice cream counter to find my goal. Sure enough, there it was. My first impression was that it looked decadent, like it would be a luxurious experience to eat something like it. Hat’s off to the people and the brains behind the packaging. There are actually three flavors; classic, almond and chocolate truffle. I wanted to try the almond but there was none so I went with my next choice—classic.

               After buying it I went home and started eating…and sure enough, it was a luxurious and decadent experience. I probably ate it so fast the ice cream never had the chance to melt. So here are my pros and cons;

PROS:

•         great packaging (as I’ve said, it looked decadent and expensive)
•         the bitterness of the Belgian chocolate coating blended well with the creamy vanilla ice cream filling
•         I’m a vanilla ice cream junkie and the vanilla filling in the Magnum is by far the creamiest that I’ve tasted (it doesn’t melt immediately but rather swirls around in your mouth)

     CONS:

•        Pricey (50.00 Php) which is not something that we can buy everyday (I’d buy it as a sort of reward to myself for a job well done or something like it)
•        I’m not very fond of bitter chocolate so the Belgian coating was a little bit bitter for my taste

And that’s basically it! If you have tasted the Selecta Magnum ice cream, please do share if you agree or disagree with my review. Enjoy your sweet Saturday! J

Thankful Thursday: A Loving Massage

               This is my first time joining a weekly meme and frankly I am really having doubts about posting because when I looked at the blog posts that joined the Thankful Thursday meme, they were all about deep and profound things and mine is kind of..different, I guess? But I decided to gather up some courage and forged on because I am really thankful about this and I wanted to share that feeling to the rest of the world. (Or at the very least, to those who take the time to read my blog J Thank you for all your visits!) Ok, here goes.

               I am very thankful for massages. I know, weird right? But I’m not talking about just any kind of massage. I’m talking about a loving massage--the kind given by someone who really wanted to take care of me.

               Today was the start for ‘that’ time of the month and it is usually a very painful and stressful experience. I would be curled up into this pathetic little ball of misery but today was quite different. It was still quite painful yes, and I was still miserable BUT a loving massage did wonders for me.

               Nowadays, massage and spa places offer affordable rates for relaxing massages and I know that they can really remove all those body aches and pains. But for me, nothing beats a home massage given by someone I love and someone who loves me and cares for me. Commercial massages soothes body aches and pains but a loving massage also soothes heart aches and pains. There is nothing more soothing and relaxing in the world than the feeling of knowing that someone cares for me and my well being and is taking the time to take care of me. No commercial massage can beat that.

My Blog Badge

             
               I'm super excited to write this post! I know the title isn't really as creative as my other posts, but I didn't really put a lot of thought into making the title itself. I was just so focused and psyched on writing about my new blog badge. Which, I made by myself!
               For anyone who has some know-how about html, this isn't really something new and would probably just shrug it off but I know next to nothing about html's and stuff like that! You can probably tell by the way I'm writing right now that I'm really really excited. I'm literally bouncing in my seat! So without further ado, I present my Legally Kikay blog button/badge! Tadaaaaa!

               I had to search the web for tutorials on how to make the blog badges of course and really all I had to do was just follow them, but still! I'm just so happy that I was able to follow the instructions and actually come up with a super cute badge. That's my kikay side talking right there.
               I'm going to start collecting blog badges and I'm going to create a separate page for them. If you have badges from your blog, please do tell me about them so that I can collect them!
               If you wish to grab my badge as well, the link is available on the left side bar for you to grab and place on your site. I would be ever so grateful if you would do that! Thanks!
