  • ROYCE’ Chocolate – Nama Chocolate

    ROYCE’ Chocolate – Nama Chocolate

    I was super excited to see my Indonesian friends when they were visiting Orlando for business. Eric Lesmana / @gottalovthesethings was able to make some time for me during his busy schedule. He mentioned to me that he might stop by Japan for a connecting flight and picked up some of my favorite ROYCE’ Chocolate for me!

    Make sure you pay extra for special packaging to keep them cool since the flight is 10+ hours.

    Eric got me 2 matcha, Ganache Champagne Chocolate, and CHOCOLATE “AU LAIT.”

    It’s premium milk chocolate that melts in your mouth. I need a whole year supply! I really appreciate Eric bringing them to me.

    I also got a couple of cool toys. They had my favorite cartoon, Adventure Time, as toys in the kid happy meals.
    Hope to see you again soon, Eric!

  • Krungthep Tea Time – Winter Park, FL

    Krungthep Tea Time – Winter Park, FL

    Awhile ago, we had the chance to hang out with Julius, Odessa, and Emily at Krungthep Tea Time for some dessert.

    We started with some of their most ordered drinks, Thai tea and lychee tea.

    One of their best sandwiches.
    Julius never stops working on his food blog, and sharing his food adventures.
    Someone is happy with their food.
    STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE ($9) comes with premium vanilla bean ice cream, cheesecake, strawberry, crushed peanut, raspberry syrup, Ghirardelli white chocolate syrup, and a waffle cone.
    I think this is my favorite — the MATCHA EMPEROR ($8). I love the sweet red bean and matcha ice cream together.
    CHA-CHA ($7) comes with organic honey, matcha toppings, and green tea ice cream.
    Odessa and Julius’s picks.

    This place is great for a nice lunch and dessert. I definitely recommend checking out this place.

  • Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Turbo Green

    Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Turbo Green

    Sometimes I get lucky and I’m able to cop a new sneaker release.

    Although, the second pair, ordered on the Nike app, came in the wrong size.

    I’ve always been a fan of the retro Jordan box. They’re the perfect black and red colors.
    I received a size 11, which was the wrong size, so I ended up having to return it.

    This time Nike got their inspiration from the 90s and the Charlotte Hornets. The Air Jordan I “Flight Nostalgia” pays tribute to the city for hosting its first NBA All Star game. The shoe also features a grey “SP 19 Air Jordan 1 High OG” printed on the side panels, which makes it very unique.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 20190220_203937.jpg
    The extra laces came in two different colors.
    The tongue label also featured gold Nike air stitching.

    On the size 11, before I had to return it, you can see the soft suede was falling apart and flaking. When I received the correct size, the suede was in good condition so no worries there.
    Every design from Jordan 1 is awesome. This particular design never ages and has been popular since day one.

  • G-shock x Futura GDX6900FTR-1 Review

    G-shock x Futura GDX6900FTR-1 Review

    I was so happy to find this awesome G-shock design by my favorite artist, Futura.

    This is a limited edition release of the GDX6900FTR, based on the re-design of the 6900 platform.

    Futura gained fame in the 1970s and 1980s, as one of the pioneering innovators of graffiti.

    I was doing research and found a deal on it with elitestores.com. Unfortunately, they ended up sending me the wrong packaging.

    The packaging was from Eric Haze but the watch was brand new, without the original packaging.  

    After contacting the store, they gave me a breakdown for sending me the wrong package.

    Their service was good and they responded quickly so I don’t mind continuing to support their business.

    I’m a huge fan of G-shock because their quality and design are amazing.

    I already own a few of their exclusive collaboration models and haven’t had any issues so I would highly recommend them if you want a stylish yet affordable watch.

  • Surprise Package from Luden’s® Throat Drops

    Surprise Package from Luden’s® Throat Drops

    I always love sharing what I pick up online.

    One of my favorite Supreme collaborations is with Luden’s®.

    Supreme is also famous for their accessories and collaborations so I bought some of the Throat Drops for my personal collection.

    When I posted this photo, Luden’s commented on it and asked me to DM them my address.

    Their team replied back to me within a half hour and few days later, a package arrived with an awesome surprise.

    They packaged the items with their own branded tissue paper. So cool!

    The package included a Supreme tee, stickers, and a pair of earbuds.

    Thank you to  Luden’s® for sending this package. I really appreciate it and I’m very lucky to have received such a wonderful gift.

    A lot of brands can learn from Luden’s by reaching out to the consumer with their products, giving people the opportunity to review and post about their company.

  • Moet & Chandon Champagne | Virgil Abloh Limited Edition

    Moet & Chandon Champagne | Virgil Abloh Limited Edition

    Virgil Abloh is a smart designer who also knew how to create hype. He may not be the best designer or artist, but he understands how to use his network and get people excited about something which has made him famous and given him opportunities to collaborate with many people.

    I was excited when I heard about his Moët & Chandon® Champagne collaboration because the design was really cool, and I don’t even drink.

    I knew I wanted to add this to my personal collection since I collect limited collaborations with Hennessy. 

    “One of today’s most celebrated creative visionaries, VIRGIL ABLOH, will debut a collection of custom-designed bottles of Moët’s iconic Nectar Imperial Rosé.”

    There’s also a signature Virgil Abloh quote on the bottle.

    I love the color and there are so many unique details on the bottle. You should definitely pick one up from your local store.

  • NEESA’S NEWBORN PORTRAITS

    NEESA’S NEWBORN PORTRAITS

    A huge thank you to Will, of William Gillette Photography, for coming to our place and taking Neesa’s first PORTRAITS.

    This was my first time participating in a newborn photoshoot.

    Will brought lots of stuff — accessories, fabric, and props.

    Having Will come to the house was so convenient and made it easier for us to take care of Neesa’s needs during the photoshoot.
    There’s a huge selection of props you can choose from for each photo.
    Will had an extreme amount of patience, working with baby Neesa. He really took the time to calm her down if she was fussy and made sure she was comfortable in each photo.

    We were even able to add some of our own personal touches. Neesa was totally cool with taking a picture with Spiki.

    The whole experience was fun. Will captured the coolest photos of our baby girl. Be for to check out his website and IG at: https://www.williamgillette.comWilliam/ and @williamgillettephotography.
