Blue Bell Brings Back Mardi Gras King-Cake Ice Cream...Sort Of

It is only available in three southern states -- and Texas ain't one.

Blue Bell Brings Back Mardi Gras King-Cake Ice Cream...Sort Of
Daneshe Tabiat

Blue Bell has answered a lot of their fans' requests and brought back the famous Mardi Gras King Cake flavor...Well, sort of.

The flavor has found its way onto shelves this week, but there's a catch -- the flavor is only going to be available in three southern states, and Blue Bell's home-state, Texas, is not one of them (with the exception of a few locations in the Galveston area).

The fan favorite is a cinnamon-flavored ice cream with pastry pieces, candy sprinkles, and a yummy, cream-cheese icing swirl.

It's no surprise fans patiently await this seasonal flavor each year, and many of them are losing their minds trying to get their hands on a gallon of the delicious treat.

Texans across the state, and other southern Blue Bell fanatics, are practically begging to get their hands on some.

Many took to Twitter, demanding to know where they could find this Mardi Gras King-Cake-inspired ice cream that only a few have been able to find.

Some were tweeting Blue Bell asking if they could place an order for the ice cream, and some were already demanding that they expand the supply and locations serving the ice cream next time.

According to a tweet from Blue Bell, they were surprised at how many people were going to want the flavor to return and promised their followers to release the flavor to more locations next year.

The flavor is now, and only, available in the state of Louisiana, home of Mardi Gras, and in some areas of Alabama (Mobile area) and Mississippi. It is also expected to only be sold during the Month of February, or until their limited stock runs out.

The rare Texas locations that will be serving the flavor this year are Alvin, Brenham (home of Blue Bell), Beaumont, Clear Lake, Friendswood, Galveston, LaMarque, Pearland, and Texas City.

The flavor isn't one that can be ordered or requested, so if you see one on the shelf, grab it while you can -- you may never get the chance again.

Happy hunting!

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.
