HOLY SPARKLES! This is a must try for everyone who likes mocha drinks. It was SO YUMMY and it’s all natural!

Where has this drink been all my life!? I bought it as an impulse buy when I saw the 19 grams of protein and the words Mocha Cappuccino all on one bottle since I’m a vegetarian (and I have to dig for protein) and I love all things mocha. The real surprise was when I took my first sip ~ I think I went to heaven.

Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino
蛋白質モカカプチーノ ~ とてもおいしかったです！

For those who wonder, it contains milk and whey and you can check out their website at www.bolthouse.com.

It’s delicious and low fat. It doesn’t taste like a “healthy” drink at all, and yet, it is healthy. I got mine at Walgreens.

Balloon animals are always fun ~

One of my three nephews turned 5 this weekend and so there was a birthday party.  A magician came to the birthday party and made all the kids balloon animals (and me, because I wanted one too).  So here is my red bunny ballooon ~

We also got to eat popcorn while we watched the magician.  So it was a great party!

In other news, the countdown to my trip has started!!  18 days left.  ^^

My travel map!  This shows the countries I’ve visited, marked in red.  I got to add South Korea in October 2007!  I’ve been to 17 countries (U.S. makes 18)… Looks like I need to get to Africa next.  ^^

Hey Tania…remember when I totally made you help me hunt down a passport stamp at the Mexico border in Tijana!?  XD  And then the freaky beach in Cancun… why have we been to Mexico together twice?  hahahaha.  Weird.

Some things just attract me, like this postcard I bought in Tokyo in February.  It’s so beautiful.

I keep it on my desk to remind myself that there is plenty of beauty in the world to raise our spirits.

These fun shoes have turned out to be my favorite pair this year…and they’re so comfy!  I snagged them at Baker’s back in the spring.  I call them “my Abby shoes” because by some odd stroke of synchronicity, my friend Abby, who lives in Nashville, bought the same pair of shoes in black the same weekend I bought mine.  So when I was describing them to her, she was like…”I just bought those shoes too!”  It was pretty funny.  ^^

I’m totally taking these shoes to Tokyo & Seoul.  When traveling, comfy shoes are a MUST.

I’m flying out October 4th and flying home October 14th in case anyone wants to know. 

Ah! Is it September already?  I almost didn’t notice… well, now that I know, here are the September Sparkle Scopes.

And here’s a fun picture of me from my February trip to Tokyo (from a photobooth) ~ me so sparkly! ^^
