Confession of a Foodie

"I need a glass of wine, or a full bottle, or a winery in Italy." 🍷 It's more than half week through the week, how ya'll feeling? If you've been feeling defeated physically, emotionally, and mentally, you are not alone. 👯‍♀️ Stay hydrated 💦 , get enough sleep 💤 , take breaks and stretch 🏃🏻‍♀️. These are definitely areas I need to work on as well. Thank you @cavitwines for sending me Sweet Reds🍷to help get me through the week!

I’m a carbie girl, in a carbie world! Got no shame in my carb game~ 💁🏻‍♀️ #sponsored You don’t need to cut out all carbs for a healthy diet. I’m a huge fan of carbs, so I probably won’t give them up. However, random fact...I stopped drinking soda and eating chips 9 years ago 🙅🏻‍♀️. I learned the importance of quality > proportion of carbs in a diet. Too much refined carbs can be harmful, but whole-food sources of carbs are healthy for you. Heck, some of the world’s healthiest foods like quinoa and bananas🍌 are high carb! Love that @AngelicBakehouse products are vegan 🌱, non-GMO, and made with sprouted whole grains! You can use these wraps to make enchiladas, tacos, burritos, rollups, quesadillas and more! We’re the same kind of weird if you eat them straight out of the bag. 😂 You can get @AngelicBakehouse goodies delivered fresh to your door. Free shipping on orders over $30. Just order online via AngelicBakehouse.com. ⚡️Use code “Jessica“ for 20% off your first online order!!! ————————— #BeAngelic #BreadBod #carbscarbscarbs #confessionofafoodie

Happy Holidays!🎄 Time to wine🍷 down! It’s not healthy to keep things all bottled up inside. 🥴 Thank you @stollerwine for making this year’s holiday season a little merrier and brighter! ✨ I love wine pairing with charcuterie and dark chocolates!

What day is it today? This is the question I ask myself most often 😂. I’m curious to know your random shower thoughts. Let me know in the comments below! ⬇️ 🍁Here’s a fall photo to celebrate the end of fall. I lose track of time 🕰 and don’t even pay attention to it as much anymore. I’m still a little sad inside that I didn’t get my Starbucks PSL, but happy at the same time cuz I got a few Chestnut Pralines in hehe🥸. BTW, does anyone know if they’ll still make PSL? It’s getting chillier, so stay warm, stay lit, and stay safe y’all! 😂🔥 ————————— #sfbayarea #bayareabloggers #sfbloggers #randomshowerthoughts #fallinspired #endoffall #seasonchange #fallleaves #fallootd

Do you struggle with grocery shopping on a busy schedule? 😩 I don’t have time to go grocery shopping or cook because I’m always working including weekends, so I stock up on different types of instant noodles 🍝 and snacks 🍡. Boil the noodles, add the sauce, microwave ‘ready to eat’ tea eggs, and voila! 💪🏻Lunch is served! @Sayweee_official makes it so easy for me to get the groceries I need at a great value. CP值很高! Weee! is the largest online Asian grocer in North America and I’m so glad I discovered them. I’m definitely going to use Weee! more often. FYI, the lavender heated eye mask 🧖🏻‍♀️ I bought from Weee! Is cheaper than the one I bought on Amazon. These help with tired/heavy eyes and I’ve been using them for a while now. 💛You can get $10 off your first order and FREE shipping on orders $35+. 👩🏻‍💻https://weeeone.onelink.me/3WRB/fall2020 ————————— #sayweee #grocery #grocerydelivery #asiangroceries #onlinegrocery #onlineshopping #christmas2020 #holidays2020 #confessionofafoodie #instantnoodles

Vietnamese noods are such a mood, wouldn’t you agree? 🍜 Like is it a pho, bun rieu, or bun bo hue kind of day? 🤔 Anyways, did you know @WickedStarSF has BBH pop-up Sundays?!?! My gosh, this was delicious and filling! Their BBH is authentic Huê, Vietnamese style that you can’t find anywhere else but Huê (chef’s motherland). This family recipe has been passed down from generation to generations and I’m glad I got to experience this. 🙏🏻 Let’s continue to support small businesses. Bookmark this and stop by @sparksocialsf this Sunday to get your BBH fix! :) Follow @bunbohuecotien for updates! P.S. I should have heated up the rib for this post, but eh the more you know haha ————————— 🍜House Special BBH: rib bone, pork slices, beef shank, pork and beef patties $18 🍜BBH: beef shank, pork slices, pork and beef patties $15 ————————— 📍Spark Social, 601 Mission Bay Blvd N, San Francisco, CA 94158 ⏰Everyday 11am-3pm (during lockdown) ☎️(415) 521-6389 #confessionofafoodie #wickedstar #thaifusionfood #vietnamesefusion #sparksocialsf #bunbohue
