Hey, you.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in DIY, travel, style, and of course - food. Now, let's have some fun.

Taco Bell's 5th Annual Friendsgiving

Taco Bell's 5th Annual Friendsgiving

For the past 4 years, I've had the privilege of helping Taco Bell host its annual Friendsgiving event and it's one of my absolute favorite projects every year! The week before Thanksgiving, Taco Bell invites their friends over to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with a Taco Bell twist. It’s their way of giving thanks to their closest friends, have a fun-filled reunion and meet new friends that they've been connecting with online.

This year, we celebrated Taco Bell's 5th annual Friendsgiving feast at Taco Bell Headquarters and let me tell you - the menu was a freaking dream. The food scientists that created your favorite Taco Bell menu items surprised us with a new Taco Bell infused menu (Check out the menu in Taco Bell's tweet below), hip-hop illusionist Jibrizy performed and new friendships were born.

So what does a Taco Bell Friendsgiving look like? Here are some of the photos from the night:

We never leave Friendsgiving without an awkward family photo. It's tradition.
