I loveeed this article! Thank you šŸ–¤

Plus, I believe that we all feel a little vulnerable when eating ice cream, which makes the act even more tender and special <3. It's also very interesting to see how each person has a unique and personal way of eating ice cream.. i luv it <333

If you love ice cream, you have to try making it at home! Such a fun little date night idea, my husband and I made a coconut milk/ maple syrup base then homemade fudge brownies mixed in. It was SO YUM!

As a girl from Portland, Oregon—I cannot explain the significance of Salt & Straw on the arc of my childhood and teenage-hood. Now I live in New York, and I ran into Hudson Street Salt & Straw a few weeks ago with a childlike excitement for the best ice cream ever: July’s Blackberries and Birthday Cake. The employees were nice but met my Portland pride/nostalgia with mild indifference. What they didn’t understand was that scoop was a taste of home—my friends, family, dumb teenage decisions, 16 year old crushes, middle school sweet treat dates with my mom. I better go get another scoop before August comes around.

Ice cream is summer!!! Ice cream is love and innocence! As someone who has taken an 8-month-and-counting break from drinking, ice cream has been my favorite treat as of late. It’s timeless, but of the essence! I love your take on this šŸ¦šŸ’–
