I’m here to tell you that @HanksCinnamonBuns are the TRUTH! The first time I sunk my teeth into one, I was overwhelmed by the heavenly 👼 taste and texture. Each confection has soft, pillowy layers rolled into a rich cinnamon sugar swirl 🌀 and topped with creamy (not too sweet) cream cheese frosting. The dough is the star of the show ⭐ with its vibrant color and pull-apart texture. The best way to get these is by pre-ordering 📩 for any of the below markets via the link in Hank’s bio.

I stood face to face with what might be the most beautiful art I’ve ever seen. It was birch bark that was folded and bitten into patterns. I was in awe because not only was it mesmerizing, but it was the most eco-conscious art I had ever seen. Birchbark biting is an Indigenous art form used in storytelling with spiritual significance.

As I stood in the museum, I could not help but think about how the colonial empire has destroyed and endangered these practices across many cultures. Our job is to protect our friends and help keep them, their art, and their culture alive.

While in Montreal, my partner and I visited a place called Roundhouse Café. Montreal’s only Indigenous café designed to empower people and provide opportunities for Indigenous folks who are homeless or at risk.

🇫🇷✨ Nestled in the heart of Paris, Glacé Bachir is more than just an ice cream parlor – it's a taste of history. 🕰️ Founded in 1936 by the Bachir family, this charming spot has been serving up artisanal ice cream made with love and tradition for generations.


One of their signature treats is the Ashta ice cream, a specialty that embodies the essence of Lebanese culinary heritage 🇱🇧🍦💖 Ashta ice cream is a creamy, stretchy dessert, infused with rose water and salep or mastic resin, creating a unique and indulgent experience for your taste buds. Each scoop is a celebration of tradition and innovation, a sweet homage to the Bachir family's Lebanese roots.


From classic flavors like pistachio and vanilla to unique creations inspired by the sights and sounds of Paris, every scoop is a journey through time and taste. 🍨💖
