Shake Shack - Cherry Pie, Oh My Concrete

I always love when Shake Shack comes out with limited edition menu items, and this spring we have a Cherry Pie, Oh My concrete!

Here are the details from Shake Shack:

"Washington, DC's Shake Shack locations are bringing back an exciting partnership with Dangerously Delicious Pies. For a limited time, cherry blossom fans can indulge in a Cherry Pie, Oh My concrete. Available for two weeks between March 31 and April 14, the concrete blends fresh, creamy vanilla frozen custard with a whole slice of cherry pie from DC's own Dangerously Delicious Pies. The concrete is available at Dupont and F Street Shacks in two sizes: $4.25 for a half size, and $6.50 for a regular size."

The Pumpkin Pie, Oh My concrete that is offered in the fall is amazing, so I'm happy to see another "pie x ice cream" collaboration at Shake Shack haha.  Be sure to try it out before it goes away on April 15th!

Bath & Body Works - Sweet Shop and Fresh Picked Candles

A while back when I walked by Bath & Body Works, this Sweet Shop display of candles definitely caught my eye!  With fun scents like Raspberry Macarons, Doughnuts, Sorbet, and Cupcakes, these were all super cute and in fun colors to boot.  

While I was checking out the candle selection, I also came across this Fresh Picked candle in a Pomelo Grapefruit scent.  I love the smell and taste of Pomelos, and it came in such a pretty pink color that I had to bring one home!  There were lots of fruit scents that all smelled delicious and perfect for the spring.
