This rainy Seattle Sunday kicked off with a taste test adventure with a friend. I had stumbled across on Insta and was excited to try this new shop with all Latin-flava-inspired donuts.

Top of my "must-try" list was the January flavor (I call it Chaja after a fave Uruguayan cake, but they call it the peach & caramel I think) and my beloved Guava & Cheese donut. The other picks are down below to reflect the image (starting with top left on 2nd pic):

Passion Fruit / Hibiscus
Churro (cinn+sugar) / Peach & Caramel
Mexican Hot Chocolate / Guava & Cheese

The Churro - SHOCKED at the top pick for our taste test -- It was the winner for us both!! It was somehow lighter in texture than all the rest, moist, and not overly sweet. It was a well-balanced treat. ❤️

The Chaja (peach + caramel) was an amazing 2nd-runner up. It didn't disappoint at all. It was sweet as it should be and would be AMAZING with a strong espresso. Can we put this one in the regular rotation please?!? 🥰

The Guava & Cheese did the damn thing! It was yummy and reminded me of home. My only hope is that they try it as a top-loaded ring donut like the chaja because it was a bit too dense and not enough filling. Or perhaps more like the passion fruit donut with the sort of creme brule crusted top and a but more moist middle. All in all, it was a 3rd place winner, and I'll be back for it.

I won't go into what I didn't like or whatever bc everyone has their own preferences, and THEY ARE ALL WORTH A TRY!! 🤘🏻😋 Check out Doce in the Wallingford neighborhood!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
While scrolling through TikTok this morning, I came across . Yes, it is sad that the Queen of Joy & Laughter has passed just shy of her 100th birthday, thus closing an amazing career spanning 8 decades.

is the idea that we should pick up her torch, look upward, moving onward in joy and just K.I.S.S. 2022 -- keeping it simple, stupid.

We're still in this together on the whole covid mess. Let's do better and bring joy to our communities, seek the lighter path and CELEBRATE THE $ #!T OUT OF LIFE!!

Stay well my sweets.

If ever there was a time to shift to WE... this is it. Our black and brown brothers and sisters need support, solidarity, open minds, and presence to reality and our actions. Let's do better loves.

So a friend came over and I did a thing... Thoughts??










Happy April Fools Day!!
Bit seriously... thoughts?? I miss my nose being pierced and have been thinking of doing it again (once all this is over).

I cannot express how much I am missing my complete Cuddle Puddle Crew. We'll be together soon. Stay safe my lovlies.

I think I need to tap out from watching media for today. I've been obsessing over the news, checking in on family and friends and clients and... I think I need a nap. This week has been the longest year ever and I'm over it. Thankful that I can work from home and my fridge is stocked and so far everyone I know is still alive. I'm going to get at you soon with some really amazing stuff, so stay tuned and keep safe my loves. XOXO J

Such a beautiful day in Washington this past Sunday. The sun came out and a short road trip over to Whidbey Island was the BEST thing to get me hyped for an early Spring.

Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve's hike was one for the books! It's 5-6 miles of bluff and beach trail with a spectacular view.

Not gonna lie. I hurt after. But I'd follow these two guys to the ends of the earth. ❤️
