Summer is always hectic before the fourth of July, so I always love a good reminder to slow down, like my favorite ice cream from Haagen Dazs. They're actually an American brand found and nearby in the Bronx, and I'm absolutely addicted to the new dark cherry truffle flavor, especially playing my favorite comfort or playing my favorite comfort game. All this together makes for the ideal me day right before a busy fourth of July weekend full of family and friends.
