I just booked a flight back to Australia for April

I just booked a flight back to Australia for April + May 2023, and I cannot be more excited to be back in the land of freakshakes, fairy floss, and ice cream in iced coffees!
🍭
My last visit to Melbourne was February 2020, and I know a LOT has changed! What must-visit sweet spots and brunch cafes should I add to my list?

If you ask how we met, we’ll each tell you that

If you ask how we met, we’ll each tell you that we slid into the other’s DMs just after moving to Portugal. No matter who messaged first, I’m so glad to have Michelle (@honeymoonalways) as a friend! She’s always up to watch a Hilary Duff movie, check out a new brunch place, belt out a Mariah Carey tune, and is a fierce friend who always has your back.
👯‍♀️
It’s her birthday today, and I’m wishing her the best day - and year! - ever, and I hope you’ll join me in helping her celebrate! Happy birthday, Michelle!!

It's beginning to look a lot like... TIKI TIME!
🍍
If you're in New Orleans from now until December 24, stop by @latitude29nola for a Sippin' Santa cocktail! Can't make it to NOLA this holiday season? @sippinsanta might be coming to you! This year, the festive tiki Christmas cocktail spot is popping up all over the USA!

Did you know that many homes in the Southern USA have porch ceilings painted a blue-green shade to ward off evil spirits? The aquatic shade of Haint Blue supposedly confuses the spirits that can't cross over water.
👻
Of course, there's another possible reason this porch is blue. Some call this shade "dirt dauber blue," and believe painting your porch ceiling confuses bugs into thinking it's the sky and prevents them from building a nest.
👻🐝
Whether it's painted for ghosts, bugs, or style, I love the colorful homes in New Orleans!

With flavors like lavender honey, chocolate amaret

With flavors like lavender honey, chocolate amaretto cheesecake, creole cream cheese, salty smoky chocolate almond, and white chocolate truffled popcorn, it’s hard to choose just one or two flavors at @creolecreamery.
🍨
If you’re feeling extra hungry, the Tchoupitoulas Sundae includes 8 scoops of ice cream and 8 toppings for $40. They also offer 4 or 6-scoop mini samplers, which I did not see when I visited, and I don’t want you to make the same mistake!
🍨
What is the craziest flavor you've ever tasted?!

If you think planning a trip to the Big Easy shoul

If you think planning a trip to the Big Easy should be… well… easier, I’m here for you! I spent a weekend with my cousin (who’s lived in NOLA for a few years), and she took me to all the best places, and I’m sharing them with you!

When you visit New Orleans, everyone talks about the beignets (rightfully so), but have you tried @sucreneworleans bread pudding?!

Do you stick with blog/guide book recommendations when you visit a new place or wing it?

EYE hope you have a spooky, sweet Halloween! May the only ghosts you encounter be trick or treaters— and not in your DMs.

Drop your favorite AND least favorite Halloween candy in the comments!

I love Twix and gummy worms and hate Smarties (the chalky kind, not the Australian chocolate kind) and Tootsie Rolls!
