Heads Up!

Hello everyone! So I just wanted everyone to be on the lookout for the onslaught of reviews that will be placed up starting tomorrow. It's that time of month where everyone starts craving and wanting to dig into everything. So! I gave in, and started opening, taking pictures, and commenting on many snacks I had lying around. Many were super yummy, while others made me want to gag and cry in a corner.

Remember though! For ALL sweets and snack reviews [Asian Treats, Dominican Candy, etc.], head on to my tumblr : Sweetie Treaties

For reviews on the subscription boxes [Love with Food, Goodies Co, etc.], stick to reading THIS blog. (;

With that, I hope everyone has a lovely night and morning.

Graze- A nature/healthy snacks weekly subscription box!

Hello everyone (: So I just found out that Graze, previously a UK only service, is now coming to the US, so exciting!!

What is Graze?
To put it simply, Graze is a weekly subscription service, in which you choose from over 90 healthy snacks to be delivered to your home. There are two options to choose from- The NibbleBox and The LightBox. The best part is that it is ONLY 5$ a week. The downside? Graze is invite only. Sad, right?

Good news though, I have a referral code you can use to get your FIRST MONTH FREE. :D Great way to see if it suits your fancy.

Referral code: 5YNN5YM
Or, if you would rather have it in link form: Promo Code Link

Edit: I apologize if people don't like referral codes. But at the moment, this is the only way to get invited. I hope everyone understands. (:

December Goodies Co + January Love with Food


Hello everyone! So I finally decided to take pictures of the two food boxes I received, a few weeks back, while I was in New Jersey. Do note, I have NOT tried anything yet, however I probably will share these with family as to speed up the process. Enjoy (:


Subscription: Goodies Co. - December Box
Theme: Naughty or Nice
Price: $7 a month
Link: Goodies Co Linkage

Items in December Taster Box 2
* Sun Cups - Dark Chocolate Mint Cups
* Sun Cups - Sunflower Butter Milk Chocolate Cups
* EatSmart Naturals - Veggie Chips
* Effie's Homemade - Oat Cakes
* Rocky Mountain Popcorn - Cinnamon Sugar
* World Table - Mint Chocolate Cookie Thins
* Bare Fruit - Cinnamon Apple Chips
My initial impression: Great, I happen to get the mint vs cinnamon combo. Not a huge fan of mint, especially when paired with chocolate. I like chocolate to be...well just chocolate. On the other hand, I am a fan of cinnamon, however I am kind of skeptical of how Cinnamon sugar popcorn will taste like. I have never tried apple chips before. For $7 this is another awesome box! ((:


Subscription: Love with Food - January Box
Theme: International Delights
Price: $10 + $2 shipping a month
Link: Love with food Linkage

Items in the Love with Food January Box
* Almond Anise Bisotti
* Plantain Chips
* Firecracker Chocopod
* Gluten Free Shortbread Tea cookies (3 pieces)
* AppleStrawberry Applesauce
* Tiger Spice Chai
* Cinnamon Milk Chocolate
* Belgian Biscuit Dark Chocolate
My initial impression: Uh, well, small cringe moment. Not the best of boxes from Love with food, and most of the samples were super small. The Cinnamon and Belgian chocolates are far too small to even be called a sample. Overall, not too excited about this box, however can't wait to try the Plantain Chips! Used to eat them when I was a child- yum.

So, there you have it! Love with Food (January) and Goodies Co (December) Boxes! Will review each box fully when I get to try them out. (:

East West Market Haul + Goodies Co + Love with food- Reviews soon.


(Multiples were not included in the photo)
Place: East West Market in NJ
Total spent: $40

Hello Everyone! So for the past week and a half, I have been staying in New Jersey. My cousin and I found this amazing Asian market place here that sells all sorts of things- from bakery items to drinks, to seafood, to cooking ware! We decided to buy a few things to satisfy our curiosity and craving bellies. A limit of 25$ each was placed because from experience from back at home, many asian snacks were way expensive. However, we were surprised by how much we got. We didn't even reach the limit of ours, and instead spent 20-21$ each. Sweet! The picture above is what we managed to get all together, multiples not included in photo.

Expect a review of these items on my tumblr, SweetiexTreaties (:

P.S. While in NJ, I received my Goodies Co December Tasters Box back at home- can't wait to review that, as well as the Love with Food boxes! (And the previous Goodies Box-yumm). Expect a review on any subscription boxes here, on Jaqtastic Reviews.
