Review Elli Quark Is Better Than Yogurt!

I'm the kind of person who likes to have yogurt with granola or fresh strawberries mixed in.  It's fast and easy and I don't really have to prepare anything.  For the longest time I used to buy Yoplait but quickly switched to Target's brand Simply Balanced because of the sugar content.  Yoplait has 18 grams of sugar per serving while Simply Balanced has 14 grams.  I'm always looking for a way to cut back on my sugar intake.  I have a serious sweet tooth.  If I could have ice cream everyday, I would.

I also want to point out that I do not like tart yogurt.  So if you're like my husband who likes tart yogurt, this post isn't for you.  I like my yogurt tasting sweet like dessert.  Ha ha.

So a couple of weeks ago I went to Target to pick up more yogurt and saw they had something new called Elli Quark.  I took a look and was super impressed!  Only 6 grams of sugar!  I bought one to try.



Here's what you need to know, this is made of fresh cheese that tastes like yogurt.  It's less sour, which I love.  No added artificial sweeteners.  No added sugar.  It has 14 grams of protein.  Only 80 calories!  And it tastes GOOOOOOD.  I didn't even add the granola to it, that's how good it is.  I did add some extra strawberries though.  So from now on, I'm going with Elli Quark.  

Here is Target's Simply Balanced nutritional facts, just so you can compare the two-




It's aaaahhh-maaaaazing.  If you want to read up more on Elli Quark- check out their website.

Added a little bit of granola and strawberries for this one.  It's really yummy.  I promise!

Oh and from Nike's clearance sale last week?  My new footwear is here!  LOVE THEM.  They're super comfy.

That's all for today.  Have a great weekend!

    Quark is very popular in Germany and Switzerland (I live near Basel) you can also make a type of cheesecake with it which is lush. It's kind of like a fresh cheese so works well also as a sour cream substitute 😊

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...
