*American Soda

A few weeks ago my sister, Aimee, contacted the store/website American Soda which is a UK food website that I have been buying from for a least a year now. Anyway, my sister asked if them if they could send me some products for review and because it was my 21st birthday which was sweet of her and a little bit cheeky! I opened the box the day before we went on holiday and I received some yummy American food which isn't that easy to get hold of if you are in the UK like me, unless you buy from speciality websites such as American Soda, so I was really happy and grateful! 

Here is what I received! I haven't tried a couple of the items I received before but I have already tried the Kraft mac and cheese which I freakin love and the Rice a roni which I also love! I have never heard of Snapple before though or the Reeces peanut butter - I love the peanut butter cups occasionally. I have already managed to eat the Mississippi mac and cheese and almost all of the Kraft mac and cheese sachets...oops! Gotta love macaroni cheese! If you like American food like me, then American Soda is a great website with a wide range of products (oh they also sell candles and baking product among other things) and they are also fairly local to where I live so I am always happy to try and support local businesses. They stock a range of American brands and products such as: Kraft, Reeces, Mountain Dew, Betty Crocker, Hershey's, Red Vines, Lucky Charms, Cap'n Crunch, Shake n Bake and many more! Also, they have just reduced the prices of their shipping too which is great! And for my amazing continental european followers, American Soda do ship to all over Europe - Click here to find out more.

Week in photographs #21

New Nail Polish Buys |  New Rings (H&M) |  New Primark Top |  Iced Mocha Frappe |  American Food |  Coffee Notebook |  Eurovision | Coffee Candle | Ring and new polish | Squirrel 

My week has consisted of: Writing reviews and blog posts, getting deliveries, new polishes, Eurovision and ASDA - American food and iced coffee - in particular the McDonalds Iced Mocha Frappe!

Firstly, new nail polishes - I have gone a bit nail polish crazy over this past week! I have bought another one of the MUA polishes in the shade 'plum noir' which I like but the formula is a bit streaky - even with two coats. I also bought a Miss Sporty polish (I have heard a lot of good things about them) in the shade '456' - love the shade and the formula! I also have a polish from NYC in the shade 320 blue sky' which is a gorgeous shade but the wear and formula are not great. I also love the mini OPI polish I received in my Birch Box this month.

Iced coffee and American food have been my obsessions this week - especially the iced mocha frappes from McDonalds (I have just finished another one...oops). I think they are about 300 calories each which is a lot but I don't eat the whipped cream that comes on top - I would highly recommended these!  Also we went to ASDA yesterday (which is Walmart in America) and found that they have started selling some American foods such as Mountain Dew, Pop Tarts, Coffee mate etc. Mountain dew is great, I love it!

Finally, Eurovision. As I am from England, we do cringe a bit when 'eurovision' is mentioned because we always come last or second to last! It is kind of a joke in England. Although we have won it a few times in the past and I think the idea of Eurovision was created in England. We had Bonnie Tyler (she looked and sounded like she was drunk). Most of the songs were...not great to say the least but I did LOVE the song from Malta! Greece and Hungary were good too. The worst songs, in my opinion, came from France and Finland - I mean seriously! Obviously everyone has their own opinion and you may like the songs I don't/do - if you are not in Europe you may be able to watch Eurovision on Youtube and I definitely recommend it. I do love how it brings European countries and singers together (yes, I am a bit of a eurovision/euro pop geek!). Overall, the UK didn't do too badly, we had 24 points I think and we were far from the bottom of the list!

I hope everyone had a great week! x
