Have you ever seen a famous food Instagram picture and wondered where you could get your own? Well luckily, all of these elaborate desserts are easily affordable. If you are ready to take a trip somewhere, consult the list below to find out where you can pick up one of these sweet treats and make all of your friends jealous with an Instagram picture of your own.

1. Black or "goth" ice cream

A total Instagram worthy shot with every cone, plus it will probably turn your lips and teeth black. This ice cream is said to have a faint coconut taste, even though the taste is not the reason to get it. So where can you pick one up? Head over to Los Angeles to the Little Damages Ice Cream Shop.

2. Flamin' Hot Cheeto ice cream

More ice cream, but this one is all about the taste. When you order a cone of this ice cream, you may think it is strawberry flavored. Think again! This ice cream is all Cheeto. For something that is hot, vanilla ice cream is the perfect thing for it to be combined with. Drill'd in Fountain Valley California is where you can pick up your very own cone.

3. Black Tap shakes

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer is a restaurant in New York that captured everyone's attention with their gigantic shakes. Called "crazy shakes" on the menu, these enormous sugary structures are sold for $15. With each shake, you will have one full sized food item such as a brownie, rice krispy treat, or pretzel, topping off your dessert.

4. Cookie Dough Cafe

Want cookie dough that is 100% safe to eat? Well Portland, Oregon has a perfect little dessert shop for you. The Cookie Dough Cafe serves cups of cookie dough in a variety of flavors such as monster, Oreo, confetti, and chocolate chip. The best part? You can also order cups of cookie dough online from 3.5 ounces all the way up to 16 ounces.

5. Gourmet Doughnuts

You can get doughnuts just about anywhere, but some stores go above and beyond with their doughnut craft. There are multiple gourmet doughnuts shops around, however, there are a couple that stand out. Blackbirds Doughnuts is a doughnut shop located in Boston's South End, where they create gourmet doughnuts from scratch. Head to Blackbirds for some unique flavors like Cinnamon Sugar Stack, Jam Bismarck and Java Berry.

6. Dessert Jars

A mason jar is a perfect size for just about any dessert. JARS by Dani sells 4- or 8-ounce jars filled with their special desserts. Their flavors include Strawberry Shortcake, Cake Batter, Lovely Lemon Bar and Fudge Brownie. You can also order jars online -- perfect for a gift or party!

7. Taiyaki NYC

Japanese desserts can be extremely interesting both taste wise and aesthetically. So what is Taiyaki known for? Fish-shaped ice cream cones. It may seem odd but a fish ice cream cone with unicorn ice cream on top is definitely an Instagram worthy shot that will make all of your friends jealous. Yet another dessert to head to New York just to try.

8. Cotton Candy Burrito

If you are looking to fill up on sugar for an entire month, head to Creamberry in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here you can enjoy a cotton candy burrito filled with ice cream and other toppings of your choice such as cereal. There are a couple different locations that sell these sweet treats without putting them on the menu so do some research about your area and see if you can pick one up close by!

9. Union Fare

Spanning an entire city block in New York, Union Fare Bakery offers delicately baked croissants as their front-runner. From an expansive list of chocolate covered croissants to cocoa dusted, there is something for everyone.

10. SMOOSH

Ice cream sandwiches already have an insane amount of varieties that make it so you never get bored of them. However, Smoosh was the first to first to specialize in custom ice cream sandwiches in Houston, Texas so now your sandwich can be uniquely yours. Their unique flavors for cookies are waffle and churro cookies and they also have a special country apple pie ice cream. Catch their truck in Rice Village!

Now if you feel like you have to have one of these desserts all to yourself, you're not alone. Just know that if you are looking to get one of these you probably shouldn't eat much that day, as these sweets will fill you up in just a couple bites.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
