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. ...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...
