Adventures of a witch in training

Bonjour mes amis~ 🇨🇦 ✨In pursuit of the unknown.

This month has been a whirlwind for me. I needed some calm and peace. These days I’ve been avoiding coffee, but I try to get small amounts of caffeine via matcha. Sometimes on days like today, I drink my lavander buttercream ✨

Side note: I found a good steeper and got myself a beaker! I was wanting to invest in a better frother, but I think my current frother is manageable — only downside to it is that it’s wasteful on batteries 😅 (PS. I’m still a student so I got to be budget friendly with stuff)

Finally my 1st Tokyo Treat box arrived!

I subscribed with a Premium TT Box (45.94USD, ~60CAD which includes the shipping from prompt and stress free delivery from DHL). Also I got a free pocky because of I signed up for a month to month basis. They have other perks for the 3, 6 and 12 month subscriptions.

What comes with the Premium Box for September!

5 premium goodies

- 1 can of UCC Evangelion Milk Coffee

- 12pcs of KitKat Mini Ocean Salt

- Pokemon Ottotto Crackers

- Cola Ball

- Noir Brown Sugar Syrup & Kinako Cocoa Sticks

12 classic goodies

- Japan Pride Potato

- Tirol Choco

- Lucky Cat Candy

- Shaved Ice Jelly

- Cabbage-Tarō

- Mocchan Dango

- Nostalgic Sauce Senbei

- Pon Rice Bar

- Ramune Candy

- Saucy Soba Snacks

- Umaibō Seaweed Salt Flavor

- Sparrow Egg Peanuts

I can’t just eat them all at once so I’ll be trying them everyday and hopefully I can choose my favourites from the box!

I’ve read a lot of reviews and I wanted to try it before making a judgment...for now I’d say that shipping was prompt, product wise I really can’t say as I’ve not eaten all of it. Also, this box wasn’t sponsored by anyone so my reviews are just for fun and probably a reference for some folks out there wanting to try Japan goodies 😊

Can’t start my day without my coffee...presenting my recreation of Iced caramel latte with extra foam 🖤✨

[ladycircesapprentice]

Today, I woke up late and missed on my study routine. Some people would dread when they miss their schedule especially when you have mcat on the way. But to be able to study and answer well, you need healthy food right so I decided to make myself tofu x miso ramen with a touch of my favourite enoki mushrooms 🤤

Bon appétit 😍

PS. I’ve been craving jap food because I’ve been planning my Japan trip for 2022 😂

Cos I need all the inspiration to ace the mcat

[ladycircesapprentice]

So I decided to recreate my favourite drink at Starbucks! This is the closest I can do tbh 😂

Heads up! Serving a chai tea latte with extra foam~ 🤤

Now, off to my spot and back to finishing calculus problems 😅

Time really is fast. In a few months, it’ll be Christmas again and I’m so excited for the holiday collection at Lush 😍

[ladycircesapprentice]

I haven’t mastered any instrument but yeah I can play the piano, flute, and a bit of bass and some ukelele.

I try to squeeze in my music time while doing classes aside from mcat prep. Honestly, it helps me feel grounded when I’m anxious these days 😊

Dalgona matcha x chocolat noir + open waffle ice cream sandwich ✨

PS. Made them with almond milk and a couple of lactose free ingredients from mom’s pantry 🥰

Today was a “semi productive” day for moi but hey progress is still progress 💁🏻‍♀️

PS. Oof I need to stop my habit of drinking too much tea!

What I’m currently drinking: Chocolate Macaron from David’s Tea

[ladycircesapprentice]

It’s been awhile since I made myself a matcha latte 🍵

High caffeinated drinks really trigger me these days so I’m settling in for a slow release caffeine like matcha~

My top 3 shower/hair products from Lush

1. Buffy

I have had KP since I was a kid and I thought I would outgrow it, but nope it didn’t! I’ve tried products throughout the years to help reduce the bumps on my arms...I’d say after a decade I finally got it right with Buffy. This gal is a body butter/scrub with ground almonds and ground rice as some of it’s ingredients. Tip to save your Buffy: make sure you store it in room temp and make sure your container is dry/water free :) 

2. American Cream Conditioner (Pressed Bar)

It really does smell milkshakes to me...well you can smell the vanilla in there if you really have a good sense of smell haha! Out of all their bar conditioners, I’ve been using American Cream not just because of the smell, but it also gives my hair the moisturizing vibes. 

3. Cynthia Sylvia Stout

Oh she’s my new bff when it comes to shampooing these days. Just sad that she’s not sold in-store. Anyway, Cynthia Sylvia Stout is a good shampoo for those with frizzy hair just like moi! Her stout makes hair manageable aka calm af plus sea salt in there gives some volume and lastly the lemon in her acts as the cleansing agent
