I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Van Leeuwen’s Ice Cream

June 23, 2014 by anc49

Photo via Lately I’ve become an ice cream addict. Don’t get me wrong—I’ve always enjoyed the beloved dessert, but I’ve usually opted for cake and pastries instead. Now that temperatures are heating up, ice cream sounds better than ever. (I’ll also admit that I became quite friendly with two guys named Ben and Jerry this past semester at Georgetown… sophomore slump, anyone?) Ever since last summer I’ve wanted to try Van Leeuwen’s ice cream but never actually did. Luckily for […]

Dean & Deluca Sushi: A Review

June 17, 2014 by anc49

I love sushi, but I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not adventurous with it. Usually I stick to my typical salmon, cream cheese and avocado roll, or I’ll settle for any combination of two of those three ingredients. I’ll try sushi with tuna, shrimp or salmon, but I don’t go for crab, eel, etc. I know, super boring. That being said, I’m sort of a (self-appointed) connoisseur of this very specific roll. Everywhere I go, I try it and […]

It’s a 10 Miracle Deep Conditioner Plus Keratin: It Really Is a Miracle

June 15, 2014 by anc49

Photo via I’m a sucker for deep conditioners and hair masks, especially since I started coloring my hair. I’m also a sucker for the brand It’s a 10—their products really are a 10. Several years ago I got hooked on their miracle leave-in product. I still use it every time I wash my hair to detangle it. It works wonders, miracles even, and smells divine. So one day when I was shopping at Ulta to replace it, I found this miracle […]
