Our office took a lil mid-afternoon snack break today to enjoy some delightfully shaped ice cream from H Mart in the park for a birthday treat. I’ve done my fair share of wandering around international stores and have never seen these. Can confirm that I’m a big fan!

For more things I love, I’ve been obsessed my whole life with this one…

FIND ME IN THE FORREST

As soon as summer hits, I want nothing more than to gather around a campfire with my friends with a PB&J in one hand and a s’more in the other. Thankfully, there are some incredible campsites only a couple of hours away from Chicago. I might just have to hit one this weekend.
