a few days ago, i went down to west hollywood for some adventures (post on my whole trip to come soon!) and knew i needed to visit sockerbit. for those of you who do not know what sockerbit is, its a scandinavian candy store on west 3rd street by the grove shopping center. first of all, their candy is made with high quality ingredients so its free of transfats, has colors from nature and is free of genetically modified ingredients (GMOs). and just let me tell you, this candy is heavenly!
2. finish my first round of college prep testing!
yay!!!! i finished, i took the ACT and the SAT for the first time cold, and am right now just waiting it out for scores and doing summer homework.
3. go swimming:

okay, so fun fact about kate time, i HATE swimming. like with a burning passion, maybe its cause i have never been a great swimmer. but i just hate getting my hair full of chlorine and feeling prune-y fingers and toes, i just find it disgusting. and when my friend invited me to her house so we could go swimming, my heart wanted to say no, but i typed yes, i mean, i wanted to see my friends and if this was the only way i would do it. i guess you could say i “jumped into it”.
4. go to alfereds tea

i love matcha so matcha!

so pretty much if you are not an california local you might now know about alfreds coffee, well, its a really popular coffee place in LA and is very trendy. recently they opened a little tea place called alfreds tea room. i mean i am a fan of coffee, but i have always been partial to tea. so i decided to check it out. and it was great, I am a matcha connoisseur to say the least, i have been in love with matcha for years (as you can see in this post) and this place really hit the spot, and it was just beautiful!
well, i hope you enjoy this post on my bucket list, i am looking forward to finishing up the rest and showing you how i enjoyed them!
