Ice Cream & One Place Polka Dots Should Never Be

I've got a busy week this week so I'm keeping my loves and love-me-nots list short and sweet! 

An outing to get homemade ice cream with one of my best friends last weekend. I love ice cream {right up there with my obsession with tea!} and I loveeee homemade goods.  When I say homemade, I mean seriously...they make the ice cream right in front of your very eyes. Well my very eyes.  See for yourself....
Don't get me wrong, friends. I swoon over polka dots just like the next trend-obsessed-blogger, but you know what? I think I found a place polka dots should never be. ON A HOUSE. In a house? On a single wall? On your sweater, belt, or shoes? Absolutely. On the exterior of your home, however? No thanks! I can't believe this is real...on the beach front of Santa Monica, nonetheless. 

 What are YOU loving and not loving this week?! Dish it ladies.

 Happy Wednesday!

    Does the liquid nitrogen ice cream change the taste at all? I have always been curious to watch this mad science of molecular gastronomy in person!

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off
    the screen in Safari. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.

    Oh, that poor house. :(

    BUT, I've seen this type of ice cream place before!! Is it made with the liquid Nitrogen? I think I saw them on Shark Tank! I bet it's absolutely amazing stuff.

    I think that what you composed was actually very reasonable.
    But, what about this? what if you were to create a killer title?
    I am not suggesting your content isn't solid., however suppose you added something that grabbed people's attention?

    I mean "Ice Cream & One Place Polka Dots Should Never Be" is a little plain.
    You should glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article titles to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything've got to say.
    In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
