Abu Dhabi, UAE– the biggest surprise

December 9, 2015 By Brittany 6 Comments

I was nervous as my flight touched down in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Can you blame me? I’d been warned by well-meaning friends to not get kidnapped and sent off with loads of “be safes” as the Paris attacks had happened only a few days earlier and there was a worldwide travel alert. But… […]

Rap music? Not a fan. Wraps made of waffles and filled with ice cream? That’s something I can get down with. ❤️ A year ago, I said that bubble waffles would be the freakshake of the future. And here we are, with Hello Kitty kicking back in a red velvet bubble waffle wrap filled with strawberry and rose ice cream. We are officially in the future. Have you tried a bubble waffle yet?
First, I attempted a food photo with my double chocolate cookie ice cream sandwich. I topped it with strawberry and banana fruit candy... and had a “fruit salad” caption ready to go. The ice cream melted and the candy fell off in the street. Then, I attempted a “I’m just a blogger, walking and smiling in front of this perfectly Instagrammable shop” photo. And I’m just plain awkward and forgot how normal people walk. Third time’s a charm though. I could look lovingly at ice cream shops all day long. Are you guilty of taking multiple shots before settling on
What I said when I tried the best donut in the whole world: YASSSS QUEEN! This biscoff and dulce de leche donut from @vickysdonuts didn’t skimp on the filling, which is my usual donut complaint (too much bread, not enough sugar!) But this?! This was perfection. Tell me where you’ve found the best donut in the world!
On the outside, I’m smiling. On the inside, I’m crying because the Chocolate Hills aren’t edible. Just kidding (mostly). Have you ever visited a tourist attraction with a funny name?
There’s not much I love more than a good pun and good ice cream! So you can imagine that I was in heaven at the @bmof_london ’s Conehenge! Right now they’re celebrating ice cream with Scoop: A wonderful ice cream world. The exhibit explore’s ice cream’s history (fish-shaped ice cream: ew ) and future (calorie-free ice cream vapor you can inhale ). And it ends at Conehenge with absolutely insane flavors like pear and carrot, orange marmalade on toast and my personal favorite, Bliss Point by @bompasandparr Hurry! This exhibit ends September 30!

This is Kerala

This is the land of a million palm trees. Of crashing waves and white sand and coconuts fresh from the tree. This is a land of fishing nets cast from the shore and fresh fish sold on the beach. This is a place where people are friendly and hospitality is over the top. Where an […]

The most unusual afternoon teas in London

When I think afternoon tea, I think perfect manners and pinkies up. I imagine layering scones with dainty amounts of jam and clotted cream with my grandmother (who, in my imagination, looks suspiciously like the Queen of England). What I discovered on my most recent trip to London, though, is that afternoon tea can be […]
