The year 2023 has been off to a speedy start! I’m so grateful to still get invitations to collaborate with local businesses.
1) 3Catea (San Gabriel, CA)
I had visited the San Gabriel location of 3Catea previously, and they invited me to back to create content for them. This store is so cute and welcoming, with cat figurines, cat themed wall art, cat books, and a wall of cat photos. I love their drink items too, especially since there’s a lot of non-caffeinated drink options. I got the Cheese Grape and Avomango Sweet Dew and they were so refreshing!
2) Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea (Pasadena, CA)
Yifang invited me to check out their location in Pasadena, which is one of the newer locations in the SGV. I loved the cool pineapple lighting display in the store and was impressed that the store stayed so busy the entire time I was there! I got the Yifang Fruit Tea and some Yifang Taiwanese Egg Pancakes. I thought their pancakes were so cute and fluffy, and had the same texture of an egg waffle.
Other Events/Collaborations:
Yami and @thedailyjenny reached out to me so I could check out their awesome products. Yami is a leading e-commerce destination for Asian food, snacks, home and beauty products, and more! I got the Ichiran Tonkotsu Ramen, Hello Kitty Boba Milk Tea, Ottogi Cheese Ramen, Kinjirushi Brand Wasabi Flavor Shrimp Chips, Four Seas Lobster Grill A Corn Crunchy Snack, Lay’s Grilled Shrimp & Seafood Potato Chips,,and a cute Yami Tote Bag. I think it’s such a great resource for those that don’t live near an Asian grocery store or shopping area.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and JCUTLER Media Group wanted me to spread the word about a welcome deal to new members who download The Coffee Bean Rewards app. The app offered guests a free drink when they sign up for their loyalty program. Some perks included a free baked good, as well as 10% off their order for the first 30 days.
