My Top 3 Favorite Ice Cream Flavors for Summer

July is not only my birthday month (the best month) but it is also National Ice Cream month and ice cream just so happens to be my favorite dessert. There are so many flavors to choose from and so many flavors being created. I thought I would give you a few of my favorite flavors.

Mint Chocolate Chip:

This has been my favorite ice cream flavor since I was a little girl. The combination of mint and chocolate is something magical. If you are looking for a nice refreshing ice cream flavor with a hint of sweetness, I suggest giving mint chocolate chip a try.

Vanilla:

A classic that also comes in many of its own flavors, i.e french vanilla, vanilla bean or my personal favorite natural vanilla. Vanilla ice cream is a flavor that everyone will love. Serve it up at parties, girls nights in, anywhere. I like to "dress-up" my vanilla ice cream by adding some M&M dark chocolate pieces or berries. For those of you who also like vanilla, comment below your favorite toppings to add.

Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream:

Thanks to Parks & Recreation I am all about the mantra "Treat Yo'self" and that is exactly what I do when I purchase Americone Dream by Ben & Jerry's. This ice cream cost about the same as a quart of ice cream and only comes in a pint which in my opinion makes it even more special. A combination of vanilla ice cream with waffle pieces covered in fudge and caramel sauce really satisfy my sweet tooth. With the perfect amount of toppings mixed in, no other toppings are needed. Comment below your favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor.

Summer is meant for a nice cold treat and that is one reason I love it soooooo much!

Life Update: College Graduate

Hi friends!

It has been exactly one month since I have graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and a minor in Marketing.

The School of Architecture at UM is a 5-year accredited program. You can check out a bit of my studio work here.

One thing I love about going the University of Miami is that the weather is amazing for a majority of the year [DUH] but I also love that the university has something for every student. A student can join a club, sport, sorority, fraternity, study abroad, and the list goes on and on.

Living my best life in Colombia

To keep myself busy and having as much fun as possible, I tried to get involved in as many activities as I could without being overwhelmed. The first organization I joined was the Frost Band of the Hour [FBOTH for short]. FBOTH is the university marching band that performs at all home games and bowl games. By being in this phenomenal organization I met some unexpected people who I would soon call sisters in Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority.

Due to going the such a prestigious university, I have had many opportunities to travel. I have crossed several states and countries off my bucket list. Below are the places I have been able to experience during my time at university:

• Orlando, FL
• Seaside, FL
• Boca Raton, FL
• Naples, FL
• New York City
• El Paso, TX
• Ann Arbor, MI
• Memphis, TN
• Haiti
• Italy
• Spain
• Colombia
• Canada

I want to say a special thanks to everyone who helped me get to where I am today it has been a long but fun journey!

Mother's Day on a Budget

This time next week is the day we honor those who give us so much love that we don't know how to thank them. MOMS!

I have compiled a list of gifts to get your amazing mom. This list is for anyone with a low budget (like me).

1. I like to take my mom out for brunch, lunch or dinner. Spending one on one time with my mom is one of her and my favorite things to do. So why not do it at her favorite restaurant because everyone loves food.

2. I like to get my mom a fragrance set. My mom loves fragrances and Bath & Body Works or Lush has amazing fragrances! The best thing is that you can turn your items into a gift set.

3. My mom loves movies, so if there is a good movie out I will take her to see it as a gift.

I hope you all found these ideas helpful when it comes to Mother's Day gift. If you have any ideas on great gifts to give on a budget, drop them in the comments below.

2018 Favorites: April

Another month is over! 2018 slow down, please!

Anyway, April has been a busy month for me, finishing up classes at University and figuring out where I will be after college but just like every other month I have accumulated some favorites.

My first favorite is this bright blue nail polish from pop-arazzi called Just Beachin' and it definitely makes you feel like spring has sprung.

If you didn't know, which you should have known, is that Drake dropped his new single, Nice For What and it is everything you could want in a summer jam.

A book I enjoyed reading this month was the collection of poems by Amanda Lovelace in the princess saves herself in this one. This collection of poems is a quick read and takes you on a journey that I am sure most can relate to.

My last favorite of this month is this miniseries on Hulu called National Treasure. I think they have only two seasons of this show but it is great! I really enjoyed watching the season titled Kiri. The show takes place in England and is about Kiri who has been adopted but still is able to visit her birth family. Unfortunately, something happens to her and the adopted parents are trying to figure out who is to blame for this occurrence. With a twisted ending, it is a great show to watch.

For the month of May, everything in my Depop and Poshmark shop will be $5. I need to get rid of a bunch of items since I will be moving soon.

Thanks for reading! Comment below some of the things you have been loving this month!
