6 Foods You Have To Eat At The Florida Strawberry Festival

The Florida Strawberry Festival is an 11-day event that takes place in Plant City, Florida. Over 5000,000 people visit the festival each year to enjoy the rides, concerts, games, and food. Here is a list of some of the foods that you MUST try.

1. Fiske Fries

For over 40 years, Fiske Fries have been creating a huge buzz around the festival. Their fresh fries are known for being dusted with salt and drenched with vinegar. It may sound strange, but I promise these fries will change your life.

2. Brandon Farms Strawberry Milkshake


As a Plant City native, it is my duty to support my friend's family business. Ashlyn Gude and her family make the BEST strawberry milkshakes I have ever had. They are the perfect amount of thickness and have never disappointed me.

3. Island Noodles


If you are looking to shy away from the typical "fair food" options, Island Noodles are for you! The freshly made Soba noodles are stir-fried with various vegetables, garlic, and ginger. This dish is completely vegan unless you are like me and like to add the chicken on top!

4. Strawberry Shortcake


It wouldn't be right to attend the strawberry festival without eating the famous strawberry shortcake. Biscuit or cake, whip or no whip, it doesn't matter! The festival has it all. Each year, guests are willing to wait in long lines just to have their own taste of Plant City heaven.

5. Amish Donuts

Peachey's Baking Company makes the best donuts in the world. Made right in front of your eyes, the donuts are dripping in glaze and will make your mouth water just by looking at them. The smell is enough to make you want to purchase a whole dozen! My family loves to get extra donuts to take home to eat the next morning for breakfast. I have to admit, they are the best when you eat them when they are hot and fresh at the festival.

6. Strawberry Dole Whip

If you're looking for a dairy and gluten free treat, this is for you. The Hawaiian Hones Cones stand sells this 100% organic dessert that is so refreshing. You can also get the pineapple flavor if you feel like you have already satisfied your strawberry craving.

The Florida Strawberry Festival will be taking place in Plant City, Florida from February 28, 2019, to March 10, 2019. Make sure to show up with an empty stomach and a big appetite!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
