zero degrees

guess where the newest zero degrees opened up? right on barker cypress! finally, a location close enough for me to actually make the effort to go to

so alli, brenda, & i went to zero degrees bc 1. i needed to go somewhere to work on my project & 2. brenda's friend works here

i've been wanting to go here for a while now, just bc of the split cups (literally what it sounds like, a cup that is split in 2 sections, so that you can get 2 different flavors if you can't decide)! brenda & i shared one (bc i know i wasn't gonna finish a whole drink) & i got coffee horchata while she got the strawberry horchata

we also got the hot cheetos fries (which, according to brenda, is the most popular/most posted on social media) & some popcorn chicken (the portion was a lot more than i expected)

if you haven't already, you should check out zero degrees (tho i feel like everyone has been there already & i'm just late to the game)

foodventures w allisam | steel city pops, tiny's milk & cookies, gong cha

another allisam foodventure? you know it. 

i have a list of food places that i've never been to but i've seen other people go to/post about so allison & i looked through it to see where we should go. one of the places on my list was steel city pops

for some reason, i thought it was going to be some cool they-make-the-popsicles-in-front-of-you or they-add-toppings-on kinda thing, where it'd be interesting to see or watch but i literally just chose a flavor & they handed me a popsicle. don't get me wrong, the popsicle was good (i got coffee flavored) but would i drive all the way to steel city pops just to buy a $4+ popsicle again? probably not

after steel city pops, we had some time & went somewhere that allison's been wanting to go to: tiny's milk & cookies. she wanted to go just for the picture but i read that their cookies were "the best" & cookies are my favorite food so i had to check it out

the space was just exterior- like when you go to a food truck & you just order from the window & stand outside? (like that, but it wasn't a truck) there's the logo on the side which i guess is where everyone takes the pictures (it wasn't that impressive to me but it matched allison's outfit so)

grabbed a tiny's chocolate chip cookie & it wasn't THE BEST cookie i've ever had but it was pretty good

we still had some time to kill so we went to bellaire to grab some drinks. i had never tried gong cha before but alli wanted to go so we did. i don't love milk teas & that was what most of their drinks were so i just found something safe- passion fruit yogurt slush. honestly, i wasn't that impressed bc i'm really picky w my drinks & they didn't have many that i would wanna try but that's just me

aqua s

my cousin, christy, came to visit me & we were looking at cute places we could go. i had been wanting to go to aqua s for a while now so we ended up heading to bellaire w paul one day to try it

aqua s rotates out its soft serve ice cream flavors so i was really worried that there would be flavors that i wouldn't like (since i'm so picky) but luckily for me, on the day i went, the flavors were pomegranate, signature sea salt, & matcha. i love pomegranate (not so much the other flavors) so i just stuck w the one flavor & added poprocks & fairy floss (cotton candy)

aqua s isn't big but there is a wall w angel wings for customers to take photos at 

by the entrance, there's also a speech bubble that says "g'day mate" (aqua s was originally from sydney, australia) 

my thoughts on aqua s? i think it's pretty cute & i got lucky that there was a flavor i liked but i actually was worried i'd go & there would be weird flavors that i wouldn't want. i got my soft serve in a cone bc it was black & looked cool but to me, the cone didn't go well w the pomegranate flavor so if i went again, i would get it in a cup. but other than that, i was glad i finally got to try aqua s!

fusion 36 degrees

another day another adventure

after class today, i headed home to meet up w my friends- alli & kevin- to hang out. we hit up this place that we had never been before: fusion 36 degrees

when i walked in, the first thought that came to mind was "fancy." alli had said it looked nice but like the aesthetics tho. i was pretty impressed w all the cool stuff but there's just so much stuff that it looks a tiny bit cluttered/random. don't get me wrong- i liked all the stuff, just maybe not all of it goes together. however, when you take it in one part at a time, it's not so bad

 

tbh i didn't get anything to drink bc alli had already brought me a drink from starbucks then i had sweet tea from cane's but alli & kevin did get drinks & they were pretty good. after i walked around taking pictures, we took a couple of polaroids to capture this new "first time"

coco's crepes & photoshoot | vintage park adventures

guess who had another photoventure w allison & anthony? this girl!

it's spring break & anthony & brenda had never been to coco's crepes before so we made some plans. anthony, alli, brenda, peter, & i went to coco's for brunch & had a photoshoot at vintage park

alli was dressed super cute & was an amazing model. i've been wanting to work on taking pictures & on portraits so this was good practice. i think some of the pictures turned out pretty great

we took some pictures in front of the fountain that vintage park is known for 

we walked around to find some cool places we could take pictures at

it was such a good day full of yummy crepes & cute pictures. gang gang
