JAPAN PART 10 - SAVOUR THE MOMENT

as you can see by looking at these pictures,

ice cream was one of the main highlights of the trip.

from a variety of soft ice creams and parfaits, to baskin robbins and dip n' dots; each calorie was savoured to the very last bite.

enjoying conversations over a sweet and chilled treat

can make any day delightful.

however, the beach-bod may suffer.

now that i'm back in vancouver, reality has kicked in and it's time to enjoy savoury treats in moderation.

my friend and i have decided not to eat any ice cream until the first of july. this may not seem that long, but for us it is a great challenge. going cold turkey off pinkberry for even a week is a dreadful task for us ice cream lovers.

i'm on a search to finding magical recipes for delicious yet 

beach-bod-acceptable ice cream for this zesty summer season!

-to enjoying treats in moderation!

INDULGE

sometimes you just gotta treat yourself to the real goodness of top quality ice cream.

 baskin robbins and i go way back. 

as a kid my favorite flavour was always cotton candy, but as times change, i guess i have matured as well.

my new favorites are green tea, and perils of praline. these are what i would call more sophisticated flavours.

however, my child-like ways are still present in my humour.

i still laugh at very childish things. like poop.

poop.

haha.
