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!

townelake photoshoot w christy
i think by now, you guys know that i love having photoshoots at townelake. so when my cousin, christy, came to visit, i had to bring her there. i wanted her to try a thousand hills bc she loves coffee but i figured it would also be the perfect day to have a photoshoot too
christy went for a sporty look (i would have died wearing a jacket tho- it was too hot out!) & i attempted to take nice portraits & tried to be creative w the setting i was in
after some photos, we went into a thousand hills. christy got a cinnamon latte, brenda got a blueberry tea, & i got the caramel drizzle brownie (as i always do)
we took a second to cool down inside before continuing our photoshoot outside of a thousand hills, at the tables
we went home & snapped a couple of shots together in front of my garage. i figured we should get a couple of pictures together since i only see her once or twice a year, & we were both wearing black & white so it'd be cute

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"

townelake photoshoot
guess who had (another) photoshoot at townelake? this girl! (2 photoshoots over spring break? crazy, i know)
accompanied by blenda & paulskie, i practiced using manual mode on my camera & working on portraits
i was lucky enough to have 2 willing models & even though the photos weren't great, they were good practice
brenda also took some cute pictures for paul & i even though we're awkward & can't think of poses
overall, the photoshoot at townelake was a pretty nice time w "good times" & "great vibes"
