Who's your favourite superhero?

I've never read any graphic novels by DC comics before, bar the short comic strips in the newspaper, when I have nothing else better to read (I'm more of a Calvin and Hobbs fan); hence, I judge all superheroism of comic characters from the big/silver screen adaptations. I like the Spiderman movies the best, but - let's face it - Superman is by far the best-looking one of them all. Yes, it's a fickle world, both in fantasy and reality. 

I've never really been a sneakers kind of girl, but when I saw the DC comics and Converse collab collection last year, I had to get a pair. This is the hi-top pair I ended up choosing:

The shoes also come with one complimentary set each of blue with white spots and plain white shoe-laces. I personally like the blue laces best. I'm not too sure they really fit in with the rest of my going-out wardrobe, but I'm sure they'll look just right with a pair of trackies or super skinny jeans. I've worn them to the dance studios before, and although I don't really take hip-hop classes anymore, I think they would fit right in. In fact, which Converse shoe wouldn't?

I think they're really cool, so naturally, when I was notified that Converse had released a few more DC comics designs recently, I jumped online to see what was on offer. What caught my eye this time was a pair of pink low-top shoes with a simple design of the Superman logo and the words printed on either side of the shoe. Like the other pair, this one also comes with spare shoe-laces in pale pink and white. I rather like the low-top ones more than the hi-top ones, because I don't really think the latter suits me much.  

I will admit that they are not the most comfy pairs of shoes in the world, as you would probably know if you are already the proud owner of Converse canvas shoes (I wore the new pair to dance in recently, and let's just say it was an experience on the side of discomfort). However, I like the rubber sole and shoe cap, and I think the prints are quite funky, if you're into comics and Superheroes. Just remember to wear them with a pair of thin, cotton anklets for the most comfortable fit. :)

Ice-cream chocolate bars!

These days, I'm starting to see more and more ice-cream versions of chocolate bars available in supermarket freezers. I love homemade ice-cream, the gourmet varieties, and so on and so forth, but sometimes I feel that only the mass-produced, fun-flavoured confectioneries hit the spot. These particular ice-cream bars are fab for when you can't decide between having ice-cream or chocolate. I love all of the following, but I think the Snickers one resembles its chocolate bar version most, and it's also the one I like best, because it really feels like I'm eating the chocolate bar, but in a much bigger size, and with ice-cream :) What's not to love? 

A word of warning though: since they contain ice-cream, they are probably more fatty than their chocolate counterparts (I haven't directly compared the nutritional info though, so don't quote me). They are also very more-ish, so are probably not suitable for those counting calories!
