Sesame Candy with a hint of Cardamom and Ginger



A girl can never have enough shoes!! Never ever! Proved that again this weekendJ
DH needed a new pair of sports shoe and we went down for the Royal sports ware house sale! Sadly , he didn’t find any for his taste  , but I found a cute pair of lactose shoes. With this black shoe, I think my shoe collection is just perfect,  almost have a matching shoe for most of my pants..Great! Picked it!
Got out of the sale, what do I see? Crocs new arrival collection! Now, I have to try that. I tried a few but DH started to bug me as we had a movie to catch.All I could think during the movie is the cute little black crocs shoe calling out for me “Buy me please..pretty please”!! My shoe collection will be totally absolutely complete if I had that one more black crocs shoe, I started to fell a  gravity pull or rather a croc-ity pull. After 1.5 hours of  dreaming of the shoe in the midst of a movie, I went straight to the shop and got that one as well and walked happily to MRT doing the happy dance. Guess what there is a shoe sale in the courtyard, I automatically started to do another round of shoe to dress mapping! Man I am a shopaholic shoe-aholic! I NEED HELP!!!I NEED HELP!!



 Now let us come back to Candy from my shoe craze. This flavourful crunchy sesame candy will make a perfect gift item if you can manage to resist to spare any.

  16. Well let me confess i googled for lacosta shoes black and drooled over them after reading you. You are right i need the shoes too. They absolutely match all my pants.:)

    In this drooling i almost forgot to drool over the cute bag with a absolutely cute pink bow. and then the candy they are just inviting me. Tell you what pack the shoes and the candy in the cute bag and parcel them all to me. I will be your slave for life.
