YL put some snail secretions on my skin to try. It's a Korean beauty product.

What's something new you've tried lately?

I just tried an espresso martini chocolate from Koko Black. It’s a chocolate with vodka, ground coffee and espresso liqueur inside. It’s orgasmic. 🙂

I've never had an espresso martini but next week for my birthday I will. I could only imagine with koko black chocolate it would be the ultimate. Lucky duck.

On a recent trip to Ikea I bought some Swedish lingonberry jam. It’s a nice red jam, but not as nice as raspberry or strawberry so not worth a special trip to Ikea to buy it. Also tried a new Pilates place, I’m trying to get a bit more active.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago

I don't eat jam often but if I do it's always raspberry.

Please give us regular updates on your pilates sessions. I'd love to hear all about it.
