Ice Cream Review! Arctic Zero in Purely Chocolate

Last year, I posted a review of Halo Top. I was unimpressed and never bought it again. This year, I kept seeing Arctic Zero at my local supermarket and decided to give it a try. The main reason I really didn't like Halo Top is because of the dry and flaky consistency it has. It does not resemble ice cream at all. Seriously. Arctic Zero has the word creamy right next to their name on the packaging. That piqued my interest right away. It's also gluten free, lactose free, fat free, and gmo free. So what exactly is in it?

See? It says CREAMY.

It says it's only 35 calories per serving. Zero calories from fat. Anything that has zero fat calories always makes me suspicious. It has only 5 grams of sugar and 3 grams of protein. Since I had a bad experience with Halo Top, I will admit I didn't have high hopes for this one either. However, I will always try something at least once.

Nutrition Facts

Now the ingredients list is pretty long. It's got a bunch of things I don't even know how to pronounce and that's usually a bad thing. AmIRight?

Ingredients List

What was my first spoonful of purely chocolate Arctic Zero like? First, the texture is definitely waaaaay more creamy than Halo Top. They get points for that. As for tasting like chocolate? It was more like super watered down chocolate. Like maybe it had 1% chocolate in there somewhere if you really had to think about it. 

You look good, but you did not taste good.

Verdict? I had one spoonful of this and I couldn't even take another bite. It was that bad. Sad, because now it will sit in my freezer forever and ever. Sigh. My friend Will suggested I try Yasso Frozen Bars. They're only 100 calories per serving. Not super healthy but it's not bad for what it is. Apparently salted caramel is the one to try. It is next on my list!


So, of course after that awful spoonful of not what I would call chocolate ice cream at all, I needed some of the real stuff. Green tea ice cream is almost healthy, right? I'm just kidding, it's really not healthy at all! 

As you can see this stuff is bad.

I mean, look at that sugar. 20 grams of it! 250 calories per serving and 150 of those are fat. Yikes. Here's the thing. If I buy a pint of ice cream, I try and make it last 2 weeks. What I'll do is if I'm really craving it after dinner, I'll take a couple of spoonfuls and then put it back in the fridge. Sometimes I'll even forget about it for a week.

At least I can pronounce all the ingredients.

Damn look at that creamy green goodness. That's what I'm talking about.

In other news, I went to Avalon today to do a little shopping. Lululemon had nothing new for me to try on. However I did go into Athleta and picked up another Studio Wrap. I've got three of these now.  I just added charcoal heather to my collection. They just released a few more new colors. I think I may also get the heathered navy and the marled gray heather looks nice. I actually wear these to work a lot so I'm getting a lot of mileage out of these. I love how soft and cozy they are.

That's it for me! Hope you all had a great weekend and here's to an awesome Monday!

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 ...

Fit Review Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5.
