I was in much need of a rest this summer so off I went on a few sweet holidays- some at my cottage and a super powered one with my man in Tofino BC.

Two things we sent my last way that kinda made me want to toss the old proverbial cookies.

We all have our guilty pleasures. I am to share these two with you today: Ice Cream and Jersey Shore. On the new season of Jersey Shore (am I really writing this?) the Shore kids hit up South Beach Miami and are put to work in an ice cream shop.
