Sometimes Tipsy? Hard Ginger Ale Review

 Not Your Father's Ginger Ale - WineWorks

Last week was insanely busy, and this week is shaping up to be more of the same, so I've been doing a lot of things I wouldn't normally do in order to survive. I'm drinking coffee to keep me going during the day and now I'm having a boozy beverage as the sun goes down? Who am I? What is happening to my life?

This has actually been in my fridge for quite a while and I figured it might be a good way for me to wind down tonight before going back to the grind tomorrow, so let's see if this boozy soda is worth the extra calories!

Cucumber Watermelon Lemonade - Aldi: Cherry Hill, NJ

Cucumber Watermelon Lemonade - Aldi: Cherry Hill, NJ

I posted a photo of this on instagram the second I saw it. Watermelon cucumber lemonade? It sounds so fancy and refreshing, especially for Aldi. I popped it right into my cart, but then it hit me. Cucumber Melon? Where had I heard of that combination before...my high school Bath & Body Works obsession! 

Like a lot of people in the late 90's and early 2000's, I was obsessed with the cucumber melon fragrance from Bath & Body Works. I once had a bottle of lotion explode in my gym bag and from that point on, no matter how many times I washed it, everything that ever entered that bag became infected with cucumber-melon-itis. I wore it so much I made myself sick, so I've avoided this fragrance ever since. Will this taste like I'm drinking a bottle of body spray?

Apple & Cinnamon FOUND - Target: Marlton, NJ

Apple & Cinnamon FOUND - Target: Marlton, NJ

I was buying some basics at Target when I spotted this fancy end-cap display by the registers. I guess Target is trying to get fancier with their food options to compete with Trader Joe's and Whole Foods? Or maybe they're trying to cash in on everyone's health related New Year resolutions? Either way, there was an entire display at the check-out featuring healthy soda alternatives. I don't drink a ton of soda, but the layout and designs for these beverages were just so different and interesting, I grabbed a bottle to review.

Limited Edition Apple Pie Juice Drink - Walmart: Berlin,NJ

Limited Edition Apple Pie Juice Drink - Walmart: Berlin,NJ

I love watching different YouTubers, in fact, I watch YouTube videos way more than I watch TV. One person that I've been following for years is beauty blogger, xSparkage. She might be considered a beauty guru, but she loves food and kitchen gadgets, and a long time ago she was raving about a drink that tasted just like apple pie. It was over a year ago, so I can't remember what video it was, and I don't know if this is the same brand she was drinking, but when I saw this, I remembered her video, and I knew I had to try this stuff out.

Duff Energy Drink - Five Below: Philadelphia, PA

Normally I avoid energy drinks, but I'm a sucker for nostalgic novelty products, and surprisingly, the last three video game and Nintendo themed novelty energy drinks I reviewed from Five Below were quite tasty! Why not give Duff a try? (It's Duffman approved! Oh yeah!)
