It's California freezing!! Which means it's a chilly 50 degrees. Brrrrrr.... We know some of you snow birds are knee deep in the stuff, relishing in school snow days. Meanwhile us California Girls scramble for closed toe shoes, long pants (those are longer than shorts and capris, we think) and traipse off to work in the bitter, BITTER cold...Up hill.

SNOW Close and a Frosty Giveaway!
We are SNOW close to Winter Break! Tomorrow, our winter wishes will come true!! Two whole weeks of sleeping in holiday bliss! Squeal!
