Sara Lee Chocolate Pie

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Sara Lee Chocolate Pie

I bought Sara Lee Chocolate Pie quite awhile ago and finally ate it after a month of leaving it in the freezer! It’s not cheap, I bought it when it was on sale for half price. Since my freezer is filled with many other food, the pie had absorb some of the smell of the food. I thought the pie will be sealed in foil in the box but apparently it’s not.

Sara Lee Chocolate Pie is a delicious short crust chocolate sponge pie with a luscious chocolate sauce and lattice top.


Anyway, I had it few weeks ago after found out I had done well in my exam. Patheticly celebrating it myself and having it alone. My plan was to have it with my friend but things change… Did share a slice with my housemate though.

I didn’t really follow the instruction on how to heat it, I just defroze it with the microwave. Removing the pie tray first of course.


In fact, by just defrozing it with the default setting of the microwave was enough to heat it up. YUM! The chocolate just oozed out when I cut it into 4 slices. Ruined most of them though, the nice shape didn’t retain.

It was DELICIOUS! Highly recommended by me! So rich in chocolate. It was sweet but not the kind of sweet that make you feel yucky or sick of eating it.

I want more!! Wait till there’s sale for it again ;p

Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion

I saw Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion at Chemist Warehouse selling at AUD3.99, I thought wow! It’s a deal! So big bottle some more! Approximate 900gm for this bottle. Damn cheap! Queen Helene is popular for its face mask which I thought I had blogged about but apparently I didn’t -.-” hmmm…

This lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion blends replenishing natural Cocoa Butter with emollient Lanolin to soothe and soften dry, irritated skin. It’s recommended as an effective facial moisturizer for day or night use to help reduce the appearance of dry skin wrinkles, lines and crow’s feet. The lotion works to restore and maintain skin’s essential moisture balance and is excellent for skin that has been overexposed to sun or wind. It also helps relieve stretched skin during and after pregnancy. After just a few uses your skin will feel softer, smoother and more comfortable.

I was so excited to see that it can protect our skin naturally from the sun and wind especially with the weather condition here. I bought it without thinking twice since my lotion was running out.

When I got home, I read the label, saw the ingredient lists and I started to get skeptical. I’m sure you do too… I didn’t dare to use it on my face, those stuffs seem to clog pores if not mistaken. So I only use it on my body generously. Such big bottle and so cheap, who cares?!?

Very lightweight and easily absorb however it didn’t really moisture my skin for long, need to always reapply. Not moisturising enough for me but still it’s good enough for everyday used and use it without fear of wasting ;p. I definitely won’t use it on my face, not going to risk it.

The scent is quite light. It smells more like coconut instead of cocoa butter. However, it won’t interfere with your perfume.

In fact I had a bit of reaction on my arm when using it -.-” Must be the ingredients in there but luckily only my arm. Not sure is it really reaction from it or from other thing. I stopped using it for about a week and used it again after that, I didn’t experience the reaction anymore until now. Hmm… Had been using it for almost a month.

My recommendation? If you are not sensitive to any of the ingredients, it should be fine and if you have normal skin. Very dry skin will not be that suitable. It said that just need to apply a small amount but it’s not enough for me.

I’m not sure how realiable with the sun protection part though. Since it’s winter now, I’m not really worry as I cover up my body all the time but I will not rely on it in spring or summer or autumn. That reminds me to stock up on my sun lotion and UV protector because both are running out to prepare for spring that will come in September.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

Typo in the image, ignore it ;p should be “Pho” not “Poh”.

I’ve been hearing about the famous Vietnamese beef noodle for so many times but never had the opportunity to try it.

Finally got the chance to try it out few weeks ago. Went to the Vietnamese restaurant at Mansfield Park (Shop 7/86 Wilson Street). Ordered small combination noodle soup, it was $10, but it’s HUGE! There’s Rare Beef, Rib, Tendon, Tripe, Beef Ball, and Intercostal meat in it. However, I could finish it, at first I thought I couldn’t.


These are the things to accompany the dish. A lot!

Was told that this place serves the best pho in Adelaide. The broth is sweet, unlike our beef soup noodle back home. I think it was good. No wonder it’s so popular. So… This will be the benchmark for other pho that I’ll have in Adelaide next time.

Over…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Over…

Yes, finally it’s over. Whatver had been bugging me for months is over. It’s sad that it didn’t go as I want to but at least I’m feeling much lighter now.

Now I know I must move on. There’s so much out there, shouldn’t waste my time crying over spilt milk. So yea… Very very much lighter now even though still need some time to recover but I’m sure I will be up on my feet again very soon.

Concentrate on my assignments and work first. Then the adventure will begin again…

I’m Sooo Screwed…

Matter is getting a bit too much for me to handle now. My sixth sense is always very accurate, most of the time my dreams are telling me something which are very straight forward, no need to decipher at all. Yet, I always don’t want to believe them, always think that maybe I’m just thinking too much. In fact, I don’t have to think at all, they’ll always just popped out of nowhere in my mind and it would keep playing in my mind until the truth came out.

It sucks when you thought that you are doing the right thing but at the end you realized that opportunity had just slipped away. Everytime when it’s here, I didn’t appreciate it or grab it soon enough. I always like to analyze the situation from every aspect. Once I sorted them out, the opportunity is gone! Instead if I leap into it now, it might just ruin everything and just makes matter worst. I don’t know… Sigh… Time is running out for sure. It’s not the first time, when will I learn??!?! I’m very piss with myself now. I’m so screwed!
