Coffee, Ulta and Pizza

Week 2 has come and gone and this week was the week of weeks to finally find a good coffee!!! You have no idea how much it was needed, Americans like to drink their coffee, but they don't seem to give a shit about what it taste like. Plus all the things they love to add to their coffee, which they think makes it better, like flavored syrups and flavored coffee creamers, like seriously. On top of that add the size, would you like a fish bowl of coffee or a bucket? Would you like a side of sugar with that? Haha anyway I finally found a little cafe in the little town of Media, PA. I have no idea what the place was called, but I can tell you that they had a normal coffee menu and coffee that was made only by what I can assume was a coffee master. Because seriously it was amazing!! I might just be talking it up a little because of the fact that I have only tasted extremely bad coffee since I got here. But it was just the start to a great day. 


I went to the coffee shop with a friend from Columbia, I was so happy to be finally getting out of the house, that the 45 minute drive to see her didn't bother me one bit. We got to talk about our new lives in America and discuss the things that we didn't like about America and the things that we did. We discussed our futures and I got to here about all the amazing things that she wants to do in her life and how she is working so hard to pursue them. After coffee we walked around the small little town of Media, until we were so freezing cold on a -4 degree day, that we couldn't go any further. By that time we were both very ready for lunch and Julieta wanted to show me this cute little pizza place in Swarthmore, PA. The pizza was not only huge, but delicious too, the first decent pizza I've had in the US of A.

On my way home I drove past a mall and I was thinking how I should not go in their due to my current lack of funds and not wanting to be sucked in. But then I saw the shining beacon that is Ulta Beauty and boy did I swerve across two lanes of traffic just to get into the entrance :D Inside was just pure magicalness, I perused the many isles of beautifulness; but remained very restrained only buying a brush head replacement for my Clarisonic and a brow gel from Tarte Cosmetics, a brand that I will most certainly be going back to. I left that wonderful store feeling very satisfied and happy :D
