Come Join The Ice Cream Party!!!!!!!

1) I absolutely love waffle cones! The crunchy texture while being a beautiful light brown, looking almost sun kissed haha.

2) oh dear me! Im not a fan of chocolate but its nice once in a while, Id taste the rich creamy texture, the chocolate (duh!) and the smoothness of it.

3) Feelings of Joy! Who doesnt love ice cream? I know I do! Wanting to grab it and just nom it.

4) Vanilla! Classic is the way to go, its always been one of my favorites and always will be no matter what other new flavors keep coming out 🤭 - task done.

5) Foods can really impact our mood, its really important to keep in mind what effects each type of food has on you. For example, ramen makes me feel much better also perhaps due to it being my comfort food. As does ice cream! After a rough day, who doesnt want to sit with the food that makes them feel comfort?

6) chocolate- done.

Thanks for the fun idea you guys! Thank you for all that you do for the site and in trying to pull us all together.

1.) My cone is definitely dipped in chocolate, but that would be it. I believe less is more.

2.) i'm actually eating a caramilk icecream right now, so I can tell you it's sweet and delicious. It's cold on my teeth and tongue, it's sweet and salty. The say the chocolate chips off of the icecream is just perfect.

3.) Mmmmm (despite my lactose intolerance lol)

4.) Strawberry swirl would be my third scoop, it would just go so well with the icecream.

♡ What is something that went well this past week?

My son returned home and despite how nervous I was, things are going spledidly. I missed him so much.

♡ What is a positive lesson you learned from something negative that happened this past week?

I learned that sometimes I need to put the technology away in order to make hubby feel loved.

♡ Who or what is there to support you when you are feeling negative?

When I'm feeling down, my husband is there to remind me that perspective is everything.

5.) Now we are going on the 4th scoop!! We all know how food can change our moods. Sometimes in a good way or in a bad way. How can we be mindful of our moods and food in a good way?

Sometimes, like me, you might skip the fourth scoop altogether. Sometimes it's healthy to know when enough is enough.

6.) This has to be our most favorite scoop of all. So for this choose which scoop and also participate in the options there.

A) Meditation! It helps focus positive energy on yourself and the day ahead of you.

** Ice Cream Cone Challenge **

I love adding nuts on top of my icecream, and maybe some bananas to create a unique banana split!

1.) Everyone knows we gotta start our ice cream cone with a cone. Right? All the ice cream has gotta be in something. So describe how the cone looks. What is your favorite kind of cone? What color is it? What is the texture of your cone?

Okay; this cone is so far removed from my favourite cone but it's a throwback to my childhood walking on the cold English coastline with my dad. It's a standard cornet readily available from any ice cream van. Testes like sweet nothing and gums up your teeth. And seagulls eye it readily.

2.) Who is a chocolate fan? When you look at this picture of a scope of chocolate ice cream and you imagine yourself eating it -what are you thinking? Describe your thoughts that come while eating ice cream. How did it taste?

Big chocolate fav signing in here. I have to admit when looking at this I kinda cringe. It's not the kind of ice cream I like. I like my chocolate dark and bitter (hah - just like me) with chunks in it. It's too sweet and too creamy but Im with my dad at the coast so all is good. I'm watching the seagulls warily.

3.) Look at these pictures and share the immediate thoughts or feelings you have right when you see the scoop of ice cream. How does your taste buds react?

A. Butter Peacan Yes please. Taste buds are excited this is new.

B. Chocolate Chip Not right now, Ive just eaten and Im full. Taste buds are tired.

C. Mint Chocolate Chip Oh go on then as it's one of my faves. Taste buds are resigned.

D. Peach No thank you. Do not like the sound of that. Taste buds are defiant.

E. Raspberry Ripple Again, Im a little full. Teste buds are tired.

F. Vanilla Maybe with a spot of Glens. Taste buds are glad we don't have any Glens.

4.) Now most of us have a scoop or two of our favorite ice cream already. Lets work on our third scoop. Here are our choices for our 3rd scoop.

Woah hold up! My ice cream only has the one 'scoop', more of a whip really. It's melting down the cone and making my hand sticky. It's vanilla whipped ice cream; no other flavours available in this memory. So i've picked vanilla.

Who adds sprinkles or nuts or whipped cream? Cut up fruit? Who adds other things to top off their cone? I know I do as sprinkles just makes the ice cream so much better. So here is a challenge for you-in order to earn those extra toppings. In Mindfulness Creative Corner Here: https://tinyurl.com/y2faf8qd do 1 short forum thread on something creative you do mindfully. Tag @RumpleSteeleSkin and anyone else you like.

I did the challenge so i deserve the toppings. Lemon dip. A midlands thing i believe where the ice cream man dips your ice cream in a sherbet dip, your choice of flavour. I always go for yellow; lemon. i like things sour.

Those ice cream cones look wonderful everyone. Was it nice to do this activity and know you also were learning and practicing some mindfulness? Mindfulness I believe we all do just don't notice we are doing it. I am so glad you all participated in this fun time with us.

Thankee sai. I did have fun but i need a lot more practise. My thought fly at me but it's all fun. #mindfulness

@RumpleSteeleSkin

I heard theres an ice cream party so me the happy jumpy cupcake came as fast as we could

Yummy Yummy what an awesome and creative idea!! -claps-

1) my cone is a nice big chocolate dipped waffle bowl. It is big enough to hold a banana split and has chopped nuts sprinkled on top of the dipped chocolate. It has a nice thick layer of that hot fudge that gets cool and hardens with ice cream on the bottom as well as some super delicious caramel at the bottom to so I can mix with my ice cream.

2) I can't do straight chocolate ice cream like that so I grab some chopped nuts and dip my ice cream in that and start to enjoy it, continually dipping or sprinkling more nuts on it as I go.

3) A: I can actually do butter pecan if I swirl it with caramel sauce mmmmm delicious!

B: One of my childhood faves chocolate chip never fails

C: I love the simple complexity that IS mint chip

D: I do love peach in fact it is hands down my favorite fruit BUT I can't really dig the ice cream. Couple more licks and I'm done with it.

E: I sincerely do not like raspberry ice cream so I respectfully pass this one onto whoever is beside me like my husband 😂 he'll eat anything.

F: ahh vanilla I can always eat me some vanilla. It brings wonderful childhood memories of Mexico for me

4) Vanilla *does happy dance

5) Ok so with me I used to be a HUGE emotional eater like big. I'd eat and then over eat and then throw up. I've stopped doing that. Instead unfortunately when I'm upset or facing a negative mood I lose my appetite but I have been working on at least eating small light meals during these times. When in a positive mood I also watch how much I eat. I will always ask myself whether I'm satisfied instead of am I full. Bc before I'd eat until I felt "full" which was usually WAY before but I'd over eat. Now I take my time and savor each texture each bite. Oh and the flavor is jamoca almond fudge.

6) CHERRY 🍒!

OMG THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Thank you for this rumple. This honestly made my morning.

Oh and I do apologize I think I may have mispelled your name I'm sorry when I tagged you on my creative corner post about creative cooking

@RumpleSteeleSkin

1) My cone is a simple brownish waffle. Its a bit hard to bite it but when you do is so yummeh

2) When I'm watching this scoop of chocolate ice cream, I literraly cant stop licking my lips as my whole mouth is getting watery lol As I'm eating it, my whole mouth starts feeling cold and I'm starting to enjoy this yummeh chocolate as it melts in my mouth! I lick and i lick and i lick till this yummeh chocolate ice cream is over and i want more

3) For butter pecan, I'm having a weird thought as to what that might be and taste like?!

For chocolate chip, I'm instantly saying yuuuuummeehhhh

For mint chocolate chip, I'm like -eeewww- and -takes a look on the next one-

For Peach, I'm starting to go crazy and very interested to try it out

For Raspberry ripple, I'm also going crazy here and wants to try it out so baaddd

and For Vanilla, Its something classic for me but still yummeh

4) D-straaawwwberryyy

5) Hmm that needs some time to think about but I guess being focus on the thing we do or on how we feel or even what we eat, helps in being mindful about em.

6) C-cheeerryyy

I usually prefer mine without toppings

i did it!

1) i love sugar cones! it's crunchy and sweet and a pretty golden brown

2) chocolate ice cream isn't my favorite, but i imagine it to be sweet and rich and delicious. i can't have dairy, but i'm pretending this is a delicious nondairy ice cream!

3) a) i've never actually had butter pecan! i'm sorry, i've heard it's good!
b) yum! chocolate chips are always great
c) this is one of my FAVORITES!! i love mint!
d) i imagine it to be very refreshing and fruity!
e) i've never had this either, but raspberries are always delicious!
f) i LOVE vanilla!!

4) i went with chocolate mint!

5) as someone who has struggled with a toxic relationship with food, i'm proud to say that i've gotten much better. i think of it like this: all foods are friends! but like real-life friends, there are some you would like to spend more time around than others. all food is good and no food is "clean" or "junk" or "bad", just a food that you might want to spend a little less time around.

6) i went with chocolate!
