Couture Pops


7th.7.7

With Valentines right around the corner, I just wanted to share a sweet sugar find that I just love. Who doesn't love a lollipop? It brings me back such fun memories of my carefree childhood. Sugar Factory has taken the iconic lollipop and leveled it up to couture pop. There were so many to choose from I just could not decide. I finally went with the Signature Series by Kim Kardashian called champagne, colors of sparkling pinks and white. The sales person there was really helpful; I ended up purchasing over $100.00. That's sounds like a lot, but at $22.00 -$25.00 a pop, I didn’t end up with much in my cute Sugar Factory bag. The sales line that drew me in hook line and sinker to buy more... Pina Colada, adults love this with their cocktails she noted, so I ended up getting refills and other pops for friends. It was a definite Christmas hit!! Everyone loved them. The convenient clear cover allows you to store your couture pop if you so happen not to finish the sweet treat. No worries with running out of sugar. Lolipop heads (refills) are available in all sorts of fruity flavors and are priced at about $12.00. The sales person did note that if you do get refills, you should order the V2. This is the second version of the refill which stays on the stick better. Las Vegas is the first state to have an official Sugar Factory store. It is located at the Mirage on the Las Vegas strip. They are slated to be opening several other stores which includes locations at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood (February 14, 2010) and at the Paris Hotel which supposedly will be it’s flagship store. Looking forward to that store for sure. Those of you who can't get to the store, you can purchase them online at SugarFactory.com. I also know that they did carry it at Neiman Marcus during the holiday season.

Hickory's Best


Since my old fav is no longer being sold at the shop. We found a new Beef Jerky Store. This one I like best. It has a bit of spice which ad such great flavor. I say no to the Hickory's Best Teriyaki flavor. I have yet to try the many others that they have to offer. They have Adobo Jerky to Alligator and Ostrich Jerky. Although, I miss the good old Bass Pro Shop buffalo jerky. It is readily available for sale back home.

My favorite Omiyage



So these Cranberry Nougats are my favorite amongst the variety of flavors they have. Blueberry, Almond, Orange, Maple, and Coffee. I tried the variety bag, because purchasing each flavor would run me broke!! It's like $9.00 a box. So those of you Lup Chong lovers, these are the best. I always need to go DT and pick up a supply. Yes, Supply!!
