Are we all mentally preparing for FIFA World Cup season in Houston yet? Because I already know this city is about to become completely unrecognizable in the best way possible.

Also, let me know if there are any specific World Cup guides y’all want me to make. A breakdown of the best bars to watch games? Country-specific watch party spots? A guide to where all the European men will be for my single ladies? Hahahaha, just kiddinggggg… unless? 😜 

Anyway, if your love language is dessert, this is your reminder that we’re giving away free Amy’s Ice Creams for a whole year 🍦 Yes, a YEAR. Plus an ice cream cake and merch bundle, which feels like the kind of prize that changes a person. Get it while it’s cold!
