My very first job was slinging yogurt at TCBY. I loved ice cream and froyo so I wanted to work there and get free treats. My mom insisted I would start to hate ice cream after being around it all the time. Boy, was she wrong. Not only did I always cash in my free product on each shift, but sometimes I went there with friends when I wasn’t working. I still always keep ice cream in the freezer and home, and getting serve-yourself froyo with a boatload of toppings is one of my favorite special occasion treats. (Sometimes the special occasion is just Sunday evening.)

I usually pick 2 or 3 different non-chocolate yogurt flavors, and then I pile on all the chocolate toppings. Cookie dough, peanut butter cups, and Oreos are a must. Kristin always gets a tiny dollop of vanilla with just rainbow sprinkles, and this is something I will never understand about her. Not quite grounds for divorce but still very concerning. Treat yo’self, woman!

What’s your go-to frozen dessert?

It takes a certain type of person to wear these pants. And that is: the type of person who puts on these pants. I’m really not that special. Anyone can wear bold statement pants. We can all be the bold type.

Speaking of The Bold Type, does anyone else watch that show? The first episode is absolutely wretched, so don’t judge it on that. Keep watching and it gets really good. A lot of it is very romanticized (didn’t we all imagine bouncing into a cool job in NYC at the ripe age of 23? or was that just me?) but between all the inexplicably good hair and clothes are some actual thought-provoking conversations between smart young women about feminism, careers, and racial privilege. I recommend! Put on your favorite pink pants and give it a watch.
