A new twist on Farr's ice cream.

On Thursday night, my mom, Kev and the babies (Aspen and Maddie) went to the Riverdale dog park. After Maddie had a load of fun sniffing other dog bums and running around, we piled back in the car and stopped at the new Farr's ice cream shop on the corner of Riverdale Rd and Wall Ave.

Stop reading this post and get over there right now.

As soon as we walked in I commented that it seems to be the Farr's ice cream for the new generation. The tables are topped with industrial metal and there is a completely different vibe than the old-school versions of the two other Farr's shops in Ogden.

This Farr's offers a selection of delicious soft-serve ice cream with dozens of topping options. Ice cream lovers such as myself can pick a cup and mix/match flavors and toppings to our hearts' contents. The soft-serve is weighed and billed by the ounce so you can choose how much bang you get for your buck.

I mixed orange creme with strawberry and then I died and went to heaven.

If you like soft-serve, custard and/or frozen yogurt, then I recommend you visit this new Farr's. I believe there's one in the Orem area as well (Sophia, check it out for me and have some soft-serve for dinner, will you? I know you like that). The best part for me is that you're invited to sample the flavors and the cups they offer for the task are HUGE. Like, I almost helped myself to a handful of samples and called it good.

Please go, and tell me what you mix up.

Bare Minerals

I love it.

Although, I am kicking myself for not just trying the grocery-store-counterpart Fresh Minerals- which is $20 cheaper and comes with an eye collection. My girl Ashley said that's what she uses and her skin looks amazing. Note to self: always talk with Ashley about make-up before taking the plunge.

Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. After only three days I see a difference in my skin. It's smoother. It has better color. I adore the warming powder. It brightens up my skin tone and brings the right amount of warmth to my otherwise extremely pale skin. Once I run out, I think I'll switch right over to the Fresh Minerals collection. It's available at Smith's Grocery, which is so much more convenient than driving through Riverdale traffic to visit Ulta.

Lesson learned: Bare Minerals is worth it, but its price tag is not compatible with me for the long-haul.
