Every month, I’m always so intrigued by all the random national holidays that seem to pop up. Seriously though, have you ever done a quick Google search on the “bizarre and unique holidays” in June (or any month for that matter)? Well, I did just that, and I’m so glad that I did because otherwise I would never had known that today was National Donut Day! Actually, I take that back. I’m sure that I would have eventually found out that it was donut day – but by then, it would have been too late. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s talk DONUTS.
The fact that I’m dedicating an entire post to donuts probably leads you to believe that I’m a #donutfreak. In a way, that’s partially true. If I’m going to be completely honest though, I actually enjoy looking at donuts more than I like consuming them. Don’t get me wrong, donuts are okay. My favorite kind to eat is a simple cinnamon sugar twist – since I’m not fond of icing, those oh-so-Instagram-worthy cute pink donuts covered with rainbow jimmies (or sprinkles) are off limits for me. Sad, but true.
Whether you like how they taste or not, you can’t hate on donuts. Even if you consider yourself more of a Ladurée macaron-kind-of-girl, there’s still something to be said about a mini-sized donut. Finding donut-inspired items was much harder than I thought – where is Kate Spade’s donut printed sweatshirt, donut-inspired bangle and coin purse when you need them?
